Fyi to whoever uses LTT’s amazon link: The link is for the 2019 version. The 2020 version was recalled and will be sold again later. The price for this monitor is $1800. The amazon link is 1100. Just Buyer Beware with that link. Edit: Basically the G9 spoken of in this video is no longer available on amazon. Using this link might lead a typical buyer to purchase the “Amazon Choice” top pick of the Samsung 49 inch CRG9 Curved Gaming Monitor. Which in a quick glance sounds exactly like the monitor in this video. This was likely an oversight and will be fixed (either by LTT or Samsung once they re-release the product). Just note this if you want this and try using that link around the second half of 2020 (no announced dates yet for this)
Thanks for the heads up! I'm an owner of the the 2019 version - got it a few months ago and it's solid. No flickering, 120hz (100hz w/ 10-bit, so no DSC), and only 1800R (1000R would have been my pick). For $700 less it's a consideration especially if productivity is the main use. It also is an amazingly immersive gaming monitor. AOC has the same panel but less back light and no local dimming that regularly is $1k on amazon (better warranty) - Agon AG493UCX. These monitors are expensive, but the experience of moving to a 1440p super ultra wide is pretty amazing - especially for WFH.
Where are you seeing an Amazon product listing for any G9? There is no 2019 version. They "released" it in February of this year and then it was promptly recalled, without any real explanation, shortly afterward. You literally cannot buy this monitor if you are in the US or Canada. Any link to it has been listed as "discontinued." The product search that the Amazon affiliate link in the description takes you to doesn't list a G9 anywhere on the page, because it's been delisted from their store front.

Sponsored reviews don't always mean dishonest. Especially on reputable channels like LTT. Alot of creators also don't let sponsored by the product content be called reviews, like how MKBHD mentioned in his video
None of LTT's reviews are sponsored by the company making the product. They have had videos where they talk about a product that is sponsored by the maker, but they label them as "product showcase," never as "review." I believe the main reason they labeled this video as non-sponsored was because their unboxing of it was sponsored by Samsung, so they felt the need to clarify that this was not. Or it is possibly a test to see if the video performs better by putting non-sponsored in the title
This monitor has everything a gamer can dream of. I have the CRG9 with the 1800R curve and I think I won't be happy with the 1000R curve. Thats the only thing that brings me back to the ground. You would need a really big desk to set this thing up and I actually like it that I need to move my head a little bit from time to time to see everything. :)
I thought i wouldnt like the 1000r curve either but i just went from a msi optix24c with an 1800R curve to the samsung oddyssey G7 with a 1000R curve and i love it, (i think) its absolutely amazing:)
I don't get why they had to mention it's non sponsored. Is that going to affect the review? Have there been other reviews that were sponsored? Were those reviews biased because of the sponsorship?
@@anotherchu Unfortunately other channels sometimes (or, often) do sponsored reviews which of course influences the judgement. Specifically for the G9, there was recently some controversy because retail models had high defect rates.
@@jononeil4466 for me the worst part of it is that they get sponsored with Samsung to make those two videos about the G7 27"32" G9 in the first place on that second channel. This was a real mess IMO. Don't take the money at glance, first test things well. HE doesn't need to make those type of deals anymore. He owns a ten thousand channel already. WHY? I ask why! Where is the limit now for him? He got too big
It’s sold out everywhere, I dunno if I should be happy or sad. Several products last and this year have been recalled... Samsung foldable phone, sf750 Corsair, white cpu cooler 240 Corsair, and now this. It’s more common than before!
It's actually been recalled due to some g sync problems that cause flickering or something, just buy dual 27" Odyssey G7s, those are amazing, 2 Odyssey G7's are the same size as the G9.
Personally I'd wait for a HDMI 2.1 monitor. This just isn't good enough for me. Just imagine a 7680x2160 240hz true HDR monitor! LOL, I can already hear the RTX 3090ti crying! XD

No, this is exactly what you see when you receive the monitor. I have the C RG9 (the predecessor) and the backlight bleed looks exactly the same in terms of intensity.
@@Hikkiru you would be surprised by how many companies use samsung panels. AOC 49 in, darkmatter both use samsung panels as they are the only ones that make 5120x1440
I got myself the 27" G7, and I have to say I was initially scared to pre-order because it had no dedicated G-Sync module, but I trusted Samsung on this. I neither have dead pixels nor G-Sync flicker. However, I did have one instance when launching Razer Synapse Surface Calibration, the top of the pane started going haywire. Other than that, I haven't had a problem in a variety of games with Adaptive-sync on. Make sure you update your NVIDIA driver (mine never presented an update for the G7 G-Sync, and still doesn't) so I had to do it manually. Also, make sure to download the latest firmware for it. Oh, and really pray that you got a good unit that is largely flicker free. I cannot go back to any other monitor after using it, even with the curve. Samsung has smashed it, hats off
Just came from watching the Pre-Built comparison series from a while ago, where Origin PC got slated as the worst. Now they are a sponsor for the channel.
I think it was a way to say Samsung didn’t sponsor the video, origin pc sponsor but seemed like the focus was on the Samsung ssd. So it’s like Samsung did sponsor it in a way he could say they didn’t.
They've always been the worst. Suddenly refusing to sell AMD graphics cards in their systems for what they claimed was "too many support requests" when the whole crashing drivers issue (at launch of the 5700XT; has since ended) hadn't started yet was evidence enough for me. They didn't want to train their support reps for two different graphics card OEMs. The only good thing about Origin is their cases, and they don't sell those separately so... fuck 'em.

I got mine today. It is absolutely badass. I got it on sale for $1100 including taxes and a 4 year insurance plan on amazon. Mine is remanufactured but works and looks like new. Before, I had the samsung g9 120 htz 1800R curve but I exchanged it for this Samsung 49 240htz 1000R curve as soon as I saw the sale. I am so glad I went with this monitor.
I'm thinking about getting one I have until midnight to decide. i wish there was a similar monitor that could compete. But right now i game on a 120inch benq projector, so I don't know if this is worth going down in size. I just want an ultra wide screen.

@@alexhb12333 True but one of the things I've admired Linus for is his unwavering stance on giving the *real* opinion on the product at the end, sponsors' opinions be damned.
where can u buy this because i camt find it anywhere im literally pulling my hair looking for this monitor all i see is last year model !! im literally about to buy last year model as im desperate to buy a 32 inch or higher monitor with 1440p minimum
Isn't this being true what would make it funny? And. It's not any more. And hasn't been for like 3 months. So... This was funny three months ago. When did this video come out?
I've really been enjoying the G7 but I think the curve is an acquired taste, I love it but I can imagine many who would hate it. I prefer the G7 over G9 just because it carried the same features but in a format that felt a lot more organic to my preferred dimensions and at a much fairer price.
I have a 32 inch 1440p ViewSonic curved monitor and I won’t go back. It feels easier to look across the whole screen. Only thing I am planning on doing is upgrading to a curved 4K monitor.
for me the 32 G7 is horrendeous, the curvature starts too fast and i see everything for work AND games distorted ... G9 is a lot more natural in that aspect due to the more space, however the problems it has after so many iterations makes me think samsung is just making fun of us
I really want this monitor but since it’s being recalled I still want it even more for its ingenuity but I hope Samsung can fix it’s problem then re-release it.
5:52 Intuitively the 'R' value of a display is surely optimal when it is equal to the viewing distance, where all points in the horizontal dimension are equally distant from the viewer, and nothing to do with eye curvature. This way the field of view is maximally filled without distortion. Given that 1000 mm (1 metre/~3.3 feet) is a more typical viewing distance for PCs than larger values, it is likely more optimal for most people. Of course, this all assumes that the software knows that it is displaying the image on a curved display and doesn't apply compensations used for flat screens when displaying 3D spaces.
Just ordered this, it arrives tomorrow. I'm excited. I know about the Neo and it' upgraded specs and the other 55 inch monitor coming out later this year, but $1,500 for me is pushing it, LOL. 🤪
Something I'd enjoy seeing is how the monitor looks on games with TAA enabled that are highly popular for "ghosting" based on TAA. Would it be even worse than before or have adversity?
Just dropped to $1250 for Black Friday, and I jumped on it. I've been using two side-by-side mounted 25" IPS panels from a a decade ago, and switching to full-time work at home for software development, the eyestrain is real and areal fast. This checks all my boxes got comfort, gaming, and being pretty futureproof at the moment.
I can't even imagine playing anything on this. The whole enemy team could by hiding at one edge of the monitor and I won't know because that edge curves behind my shoulders
I have a triple screen setup for racing, this looks like it has potential. The picture-by-picture might be a suitable substitute for multitasking - two 2560x1440 screens from different outputs could mean I plug both into my GPU for basically two monitors when I want to be multitasking. Otherwise, one big wide screen for racing. I looked it up and it as a 100x100 VESA mounting layout, so I could consider mounting this on my racing rig. I hope they fix that flicking during HDR. This might be something to save up for.
Been falling off in recent years as far as I'm concerned. They no longer make the best displays for TV's, LG does with their OLED's. Their new generation of 120hz OLED panels for mobile phones has been plagued with issues (see the green tint issues on the S20 Ultra and OnePlus 8 Pro for some examples of that), issues that are also apparently making Apple uneasy about using them for the iPhone 12 (that is a rumor though). They keep trying to ride amped up VA 'QLED' on both their TV and monitor market, with new generations barely being different or more innovative than the last. This monitor and their last few generations of TV are a great example. Barely more or the SAME pathetic amount of local dimming zones, resulting in the same poor HDR performance, and just frills and gimmicks to sell the new units. The only truly great thing Samsung makes these days is memory. Everything else is cut corners, gimmicks and gobs of fucking marketing. They need a kick in the pants.
Honestly, I'd take VA's far superior contrast and colour reproduction any day over IPS and TN, even if VA does smear a little. There's just no comparison when you look at all three technologies side by side!
Though I'm assuming that scales with the more expensive VAs? I haven't had that experience when trying out the less expensive (not budget) ones, unless all the ones I looked at happened to be bad... When text is moving from side to side not even too fast it's a nightmare to read
@@Anreii Each technology has its own benefit and drawback, getting used to VA smearing for me is much easier than getting used to a TN's poor colour reproduction or the lack of contrast on IPS panels.
for everyone who want to buy this - hope you love tanks, playing anything is like looking thru tank periscope... tried it, returned it and happy with my LG 34 ultrawide + big TV
I feel like needing DSC to actually make it work is a HUGE caveat. They could've added a solution to use two cables and have your system recognize a multimonitor setup (since the size is just like two monitors together). Price actually isn't a huge factor, considering what the Acer Predator X34 cost back in the day.
@@KazuyaYuza Use mine 8+ hours a day. I just bought an extended warranty that covers burn in. But even not hiding the task bar and having static elements all over the place I havent even experienced temporary image retention.
@@KazuyaYuza Fwiw modern OLED's are not as prone to burn-ins as they once used to be. Firstly, current gen panels are better at handling static elements, but the software is also improved. Screen contents are shifted by a few pixels periodically and the TV automatically reduces brightness for static pixels. Just two features that I know of -- I'm sure there are many more.
Would love to see a comparison to the LG CX 48 once the 3080 series comes out. I'm using the CX48 as my gaming monitor and even with the reduced color on a 2080ti, it is simply incredible, and I'm coming from the LG 38" ultrawide.
I bought Samsung Odyssey C49G95 49". I noticed that running the monitor at a high refresh rate increases the GPU temperature by 10 degrees, good for warming your room in winter 😅. Beside that I have been having issues keeping my PC a sleep with this monitor.
I have the Samsung CHG90, which is the 3840x1080/144hz older version of the G9. I have a love/hate relationship with the aspect ratio. I *love* having it for work, and will probably eventually buy the G9 for productivity. But It's really not great for any of the games I've played on it. Most don't have any support for anything higher than 2560x1440, so I either have to play full-screen with black bars (defeating the ability to multi-task), or play in windowed mode. In the couple of games that I have played that support 32:9, it's surprisingly straining to have UI elements so far outside of my field of view. It's really not cool having to turn my head to see a minimap, or completely miss notification flags in the corners. But damn, I never want to go back to a 2 monitor setup.
In this video, Linus mentioned that you'd need a GPU from 2019 or newer to get that DSC thingy for the full potential of this monitor. Does this apply to the G7 monitor when paired up with a GTX 1080Ti? Thanks in advance!
Well, I just ordered one of these. But I'm going to go over it with a magnifying glass, so to speak, looking for errors, and will return it straight away if it has any glaring issues. I think this would work very nicely in MS Flight Sim 2020, paired with a 3090, and would be a good alternative to VR, before that finally gets support. I don't have the best luck with monitors though, so I'll probably get a shitty one.
I am also looking to get one but on B&H's website they have a pre-order option for a new sku one... Not sure if this the flicker fixed one linus was saying would come out. I am really conflicted right now because I can get it on Amazon by the 16th of October or I can pre order it with the hopes of it being an updated model for Nov 16th ish. How is your monitor treating you?
@@christopherirazat8250 Well, let me attempt to remove all traces of conflict for you. I got all possible issues on the first G9. Returned it, picked up a new one. Second one is better, but still far from acceptable, so I am returning that one as well. I'm not going to try a third time. Screw this monitor model, and also Samsung for apparently not doing ANY quality control whatsoever. Also, the monitor is bloody fantastic, so it really pisses me off that it has so many issues. Going back to 16:9 gaming now will be terrible.
@@christopherirazat8250 Going back to my old Asus PG279Q for a while. But not giving up on 32:9 monitors. Maybe Samsung gets their act together and make a revised model that works.

I really like this, please keep doing non-sponsored reviews as we need more honesty in this industry.
Sponsored reviews don't always mean dishonest. Especially on reputable channels like LTT. Alot of creators also don't let sponsored by the product content be called reviews, like how MKBHD mentioned in his video
None of LTT's reviews are sponsored by the company making the product. They have had videos where they talk about a product that is sponsored by the maker, but they label them as "product showcase," never as "review." I believe the main reason they labeled this video as non-sponsored was because their unboxing of it was sponsored by Samsung, so they felt the need to clarify that this was not. Or it is possibly a test to see if the video performs better by putting non-sponsored in the title
in my mind there can't be a sponsored review anyway. Ltt dies it right and call sponsored stuff "showcase"
This video WAS sponsored by Samsung... I find this concerning to say the least.

I got myself the 27" G7, and I have to say I was initially scared to pre-order because it had no dedicated G-Sync module, but I trusted Samsung on this. I neither have dead pixels nor G-Sync flicker. However, I did have one instance when launching Razer Synapse Surface Calibration, the top of the pane started going haywire. Other than that, I haven't had a problem in a variety of games with Adaptive-sync on. Make sure you update your NVIDIA driver (mine never presented an update for the G7 G-Sync, and still doesn't) so I had to do it manually. Also, make sure to download the latest firmware for it. Oh, and really pray that you got a good unit that is largely flicker free. I cannot go back to any other monitor after using it, even with the curve. Samsung has smashed it, hats off
Just came from watching the Pre-Built comparison series from a while ago, where Origin PC got slated as the worst. Now they are a sponsor for the channel.
I think it was a way to say Samsung didn’t sponsor the video, origin pc sponsor but seemed like the focus was on the Samsung ssd. So it’s like Samsung did sponsor it in a way he could say they didn’t.
Well sure, it's an ad and it's not that they were terrible.
They've always been the worst. Suddenly refusing to sell AMD graphics cards in their systems for what they claimed was "too many support requests" when the whole crashing drivers issue (at launch of the 5700XT; has since ended) hadn't started yet was evidence enough for me. They didn't want to train their support reps for two different graphics card OEMs. The only good thing about Origin is their cases, and they don't sell those separately so... fuck 'em.

The Samsung G9 was recalled, because Linus exposed that it could be dropped too easily!
I'm buying this for Flight Simulator 2020. The huge view angle will make the cockpit and side windows all visible.
I've really been enjoying the G7 but I think the curve is an acquired taste, I love it but I can imagine many who would hate it. I prefer the G7 over G9 just because it carried the same features but in a format that felt a lot more organic to my preferred dimensions and at a much fairer price.
I have a 32 inch 1440p ViewSonic curved monitor and I won’t go back. It feels easier to look across the whole screen. Only thing I am planning on doing is upgrading to a curved 4K monitor.
for me the 32 G7 is horrendeous, the curvature starts too fast and i see everything for work AND games distorted ... G9 is a lot more natural in that aspect due to the more space, however the problems it has after so many iterations makes me think samsung is just making fun of us

I really want this monitor but since it’s being recalled I still want it even more for its ingenuity but I hope Samsung can fix it’s problem then re-release it.
5:52 Intuitively the 'R' value of a display is surely optimal when it is equal to the viewing distance, where all points in the horizontal dimension are equally distant from the viewer, and nothing to do with eye curvature. This way the field of view is maximally filled without distortion. Given that 1000 mm (1 metre/~3.3 feet) is a more typical viewing distance for PCs than larger values, it is likely more optimal for most people. Of course, this all assumes that the software knows that it is displaying the image on a curved display and doesn't apply compensations used for flat screens when displaying 3D spaces.

Otherwise, one big wide screen for racing.

Samsung has always been the king of display technology for me.
for me its sony
Been falling off in recent years as far as I'm concerned. They no longer make the best displays for TV's, LG does with their OLED's. Their new generation of 120hz OLED panels for mobile phones has been plagued with issues (see the green tint issues on the S20 Ultra and OnePlus 8 Pro for some examples of that), issues that are also apparently making Apple uneasy about using them for the iPhone 12 (that is a rumor though). They keep trying to ride amped up VA 'QLED' on both their TV and monitor market, with new generations barely being different or more innovative than the last. This monitor and their last few generations of TV are a great example. Barely more or the SAME pathetic amount of local dimming zones, resulting in the same poor HDR performance, and just frills and gimmicks to sell the new units.
The only truly great thing Samsung makes these days is memory. Everything else is cut corners, gimmicks and gobs of fucking marketing. They need a kick in the pants.
Honestly, I'd take VA's far superior contrast and colour reproduction any day over IPS and TN, even if VA does smear a little. There's just no comparison when you look at all three technologies side by side!
Though I'm assuming that scales with the more expensive VAs? I haven't had that experience when trying out the less expensive (not budget) ones, unless all the ones I looked at happened to be bad... When text is moving from side to side not even too fast it's a nightmare to read
@@Anreii Each technology has its own benefit and drawback, getting used to VA smearing for me is much easier than getting used to a TN's poor colour reproduction or the lack of contrast on IPS panels.
for everyone who want to buy this - hope you love tanks, playing anything is like looking thru tank periscope... tried it, returned it and happy with my LG 34 ultrawide + big TV
I feel like needing DSC to actually make it work is a HUGE caveat. They could've added a solution to use two cables and have your system recognize a multimonitor setup (since the size is just like two monitors together).
Price actually isn't a huge factor, considering what the Acer Predator X34 cost back in the day.

@@KazuyaYuza Fwiw modern OLED's are not as prone to burn-ins as they once used to be. Firstly, current gen panels are better at handling static elements, but the software is also improved. Screen contents are shifted by a few pixels periodically and the TV automatically reduces brightness for static pixels. Just two features that I know of -- I'm sure there are many more.

What
I bought Samsung Odyssey C49G95 49". I noticed that running the monitor at a high refresh rate increases the GPU temperature by 10 degrees, good for warming your room in winter 😅. Beside that I have been having issues keeping my PC a sleep with this monitor.
I have the Samsung CHG90, which is the 3840x1080/144hz older version of the G9. I have a love/hate relationship with the aspect ratio. I *love* having it for work, and will probably eventually buy the G9 for productivity. But It's really not great for any of the games I've played on it. Most don't have any support for anything higher than 2560x1440, so I either have to play full-screen with black bars (defeating the ability to multi-task), or play in windowed mode. In the couple of games that I have played that support 32:9, it's surprisingly straining to have UI elements so far outside of my field of view. It's really not cool having to turn my head to see a minimap, or completely miss notification flags in the corners.

DSC is only available on 2000 series Nvidia cards or newer. It's available on some newer AMD cards as well.
Well, I just ordered one of these. But I'm going to go over it with a magnifying glass, so to speak, looking for errors, and will return it straight away if it has any glaring issues.
