Nice review! Ended up placing an order for one tonight with my local electronics retailer (Microcener). I had CRG9 before but it suffered a bit from flickering so I've been using the LG 48" OLED TV which has been great but I am missing the "WOW factor" that the super ultrawides give off! I don't think I can swing keeping both, but I think using the Neo G9 on the bottom and stacking the LG TV above it would be the perfect setup!

Yea I just got my g9 (the original) a few days ago. It's insane tho I went from an ultrawide to this so It wasn't a huge shock but I'm really enjoying it. I notice a very mild flicker very rarely in games but aside from that it's been flawless.

I recently bought a G7 4K 28" but will be returning it for a G9 tomorrow morning. I've read the flickering issues have been addressed with updates. I mine works.

I've got an OLED and Elevate soundbar for home theater and PS5 and will have this monster for PC gaming.

As I understand, these both require DisplayPort connection, but there is only one DisplayPort input on the Neo, as you mentioned. Are you having to physically swap the cables at the back of the monitor to switch between the two? That seems like it would be a pain if so. Or, are you using some sort of KVM? If you’re doing that, which one are you using? I’ve found it impossible to find one that supports this resolution at 240 Hz with G-Sync. Thank you!

Hey man! I’m messaging you about some issues. I’ve watch your Odyssey G9 review with MacBook and it gave me the decision to purchase the G9 which was totally worth it thank you. I had ran into an issue though where my “kernal_task” would consume about 1000% CPU with just simple thing as watching KZfaq videos just out the blue. When I turn off my G9 it’ll go right back to normal. I was wondering if you’ve ever experience this type of situation or heard of this type of issue? I tried looking online but I got no leads. Lmk man and thanks for your time.

Thx for the review! You mentioned that even new high end GPUs can struggle to keep up with this monitor. I can't seem to find any benchmarks with the 3080 or 3080ti used specifically with this display. Do you know of any sources that looked at this? I suppose one would have to balance being able to run games at their highest settings vs running them at this resolution...

i have the old g9 and it does not flicker that much that it bothers me at all it will do it on a certain app till i close it reopen it then it goes but thats it. the thing im bothered about is can u use 240hz and restart the pc and monitor comes on as normal. because this one i can the monitor will not come on at all on a restart i have to plug another monitor in then switch back.

In your Samsung NeoG9 review (which was the BEST i have seen) you mention to get full resolution at 120hz on an M1 Mac mini you used the CalDigit TS3plus and a USBC to display port cable. Do I need the CalDigit TS3 or can i just go USBC to Display port directly from my Mac m1 to the Display?

Just ordered the 49" Odyssey Neo G9 for a dual-source setup: a MacBook Pro (PBP via the two HDMI ports for work) and a gaming rig (via DisplayPort). Concerned about the ease of switching between sources. Any tips or tricks for smoother transitions? Keen on insights or solutions for this specific model. Thanks!

How do you have the monitor connected to your Mac/ts3 are you just using thunderbolt or the display port? I have a m1 MacBook Pro and I want to purchase this but I want everything I need to connect, not sure if I just need the special cable you mentioned or I need the doc as well. Thanks

There are monitor arms that work well with the G9 that are not the ergotron (which is pricey) compared to other options. Amazon has a few great ones.

Thankyou for your honesty review. I have been wanting to buy this for a while but one thing holding me back is that I'm not computer savvy. Samsung say many of the issues with this monitor are solved with their firmware update.....but I can't find a decent video on a step by step on how to do it. If you ever have time I hope you could create one walk us thru how to go about it. I'm not very computer literate an this is one thing holding me back from a purchase.......even with Samsung today discounting it by 500. I have even read that you half to use a specific flash drive.....For me this is intimidating. Thankyou again for your honesty,I would love to have this for flight sim 2020

You mentioned that you can't get higher than 60Hz using HDMI via your Mac or 2080 GPU But had no issues with the new consoles. I'm not entirely sure of the bandwidth limitations of HDMI 2.0 but it's important to consider that all Mac products (including the M1 line) lack HDMI 2.1 and only the current gen NVIDIA and AMD GPUs have HDMI 2.1 ports. I'm assuming that is why you only are getting it to work on the ps5/Xbox series X.
@Ashan360 2 жыл бұрын
Certainly a possibility, but he did mention using a CalDigit thunderbolt dock so the M1 was probably connected via thunderbolt and the issue was actually with the HDMI port on the doc, unless if he was using a special HDMI to DisplayPort cable.

I was just wondering, when you're watching something from KZfaq or Netflix, is the video displayed fully on the screen like at 5:36 ? I have the CRG9 and I have my Mac connected to the display port but, when I watch something in full screen, it's not using all of the screen. I've tried the HDMI but it just stretches the videos.

Bought mine a week ago only paid 1,599.99 U.S. And absolutely love it.. Only thing bad I would say is I am using a Secret labs desk. which I love but the monitor does take up a lot of space. So far I have played Cyberpunk , Age of empires which looks great Waiting on Starfield. I am running it on a RTX 3090 card. Another thing to mention is setting up took a bit but there are plenty of KZfaq videos out there to help. Thanks for your video.
