Samsung - Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC

Here is what you may not know.. I have an OG Odyssey G9 (and this applies to all these super sized monitors). You will not always be running full screen real estate for all games. 1) Many games do not support UW (many Souls-like games) and you will be stuck with a central portion. Which means that your card only needs to support 1440 or 4K depending on wheter it would default back to 1440 or 4K. 2) You still have this option if your GPU cant push enough frames for your liking. 3) Many games that aren't pinnacle AAA games, you can still get a higher than expected frame rate in super ultrawide. In my opinion, getting a monitor that is base 4K ultrawide is the right choice, even with a 4080 tier or above card. In my case, I have a 7900xtx. The games I play in 5120X1440 suw have plenty of fps to spare and i usually run a frame limiter anyway. The games that don't support suw, I would rather be playing in 4K than 1440. I would get the 5K2K monitor or even the 57" Odyssey G9 monitor. The worst case scenario is you have to run in the middle, use upscaling/frame gen, or reduce options.

As others have mentioned, you should probably take a look at both in person and consider your use case. As someone with a 57, what I can tell you is that the monitor is an absolute workhorse for productivity and there really isn’t anything (in my personal experience) remotely close to it. It really depends on your priorities (gaming vs work). I may be biased, but the 57 gives you the flexibility to experience certain games in super ultra wide, and for games that don’t support the 57’s resolution, I often play the game in a windowed resolution of 3840x2160 while having space for 2 tabs (browser, app, etc.) on each side of the game. In terms of productivity and convenience, it was a no brainer for me. Best of luck on your decision, both are great monitors!

I am not going to talk you out of it because I have the 57" and the size is so, so good.

Odyssey 57. Real estate is insanely boosting for multi app productivity.

57 solo. The comfort of having so much space with one screen is unmatched.

This is what I did since triples is, at best, a pain in the ass to set up for every game I wanted to play at my rig. So I got the odyssey g9 57”, and run reshade with Perspective Correction so that the curvature around the edges is flattened back out and the horizontal FOV is perfect. Now games are easy to just load up, set the resolution, and go. TLDR: if you play other games with less-than-stellar triple support, I’d recommend.

I have both, but made the switch to the 45" and haven't looked back. I just couldn't deal with the blooming.

I have both. The 57" G9 has been sitting in its box in my attic since I got the LG 5K2K. The G9 gets very hot if you use HDR. Noticeably hot. 5-10° over ambient in my case. I prefer 21:9 over 32:9, but that's a person preference thing. I also really like the LG's taller profile and tighter curve for gaming. I find it a lot more immersive. The biggest factor: I *hate* blooming. But I'm very sensitive to it.

G9 57

My only thing I don’t like about it is that it gets quite hot while in HDR mode

I play the Odyssey G9 57 at 5k2k when my game is too demanding sometimes

i use the 2160p 32:9 samsung with an x90 gpu most games run great. modern dlss looks excellent too

better refresh/response than neo odyssey g9?

180 imo is fine though. 200+ is for very serious competitive gamers. but i went with the g9 personally

Yes, no joke, my set up is two of these side by side. I have the odyssey 9s they are curved so much it’s literally 180, two more would be a full circle.

I've done triple 43" displays but ended up changing to the Samsung 57 ultra wide. Mainly due to my sim rig being powered by my everyday gaming PC, between the sim rig / desktop gaming and VR gaming. It was an insane hassle. It's best to have a separate PC if you're going to run triples. I'm more than happy with the 57 but the fov of triples can't be beat for immersion.

I am planning on making the switch from the 57" Samsung to the 45" LG. I have had the 57" since launch a couple of years ago in the US, and it was amazing to have such resolution and space. The HDR brightness is quite blinding at times when in a dark room, and finally being able to at least support 240Hz with the latest 50 series GPUs is nice. But blooming even with as many dimming zones as this screen has is still not great compared to OLED, since I play quite a few dark games, it can be quite noticeable. The smaller screen size might not be great, as I tried this once when I went from a 49" G9 Mini-LED to the 34" Alienware OLED, and I did not like the size downgrade. But seeing the LG in person at a Best Buy made it seem a bit better, and it would be as bad, so I will have to see. I am looking forward to trying it and maybe trying the dual mode functionality to see if 330Hz is worth it in games, but overall, I am looking forward to using OLED for my monitor. Also, getting a decent deal at almost $700 off made it at least worth a try for me.

Get the 57" G9

G95NC Own it, and it's amazing for work. And gaming!

Did you know that you can chat with a Samsung rep and ask for a discount? I'm not a student nor I needed a .edu email but I got my 57" at around $1300.

52” wide on what size? 32”? I have a 57” G9 and I really want triples. But I’m limited in space. However 52” is actually possible.

I am not going to talk you out of it because I have the 57" and the size is so, so good.

Specific to the Samsung 57 Odyssey Neo G9 dual 4k UHD quantum mini led 240hz 1ms hdr 1000 curved gaming monitor HDMI 21 dp 21 USB 30 black first I love this monitor, setting it up to my needs was easy and on point. The only major issue for me as an owner is Samsung. Purchased monitor in late Jan 2025. The monitor stopped showing an image in early March 2025. So it worked for about 6 weeks. Not good for this price point but things happen. I contacted Samsung and the run around started. 10 days for a tech to come over take photos and say yup it needs a new panel and possibly some internal component. It can work with just panel replacement if not will order the additional parts. Well, that's more delays in getting it fixed. I asked Samsung if they'd just swap it out. Got more of the run around. Provided with phone numbers to other depts that don't answer or are closed. Anyway long story short. Monitor when working is great but if you have an issue it's gonna take a lot of patience and time to get it repaired. My thought at this price point you'd get quality and service to match but this is not the case. \- I owned an LG monitor that had issues and LG without second guessing simply did a home swap to quickly resolve the issue. Not sure about other manufacturers but Samsung is not proving to be a good purchase. Anyone got similar experience with Samsung and/or can provide other companies with good products and services?

Completely agree. It’s not that obvious when gaming perhaps but for anything text heavy or scale dependent - it’s awful. I did the same thing and I picked up a 57” this past week. What an incredible display. Hoping to run it through its paces to make sure I love it.

I'm running the Samsung 57" with 7680 x 2160 resolution and 240hz with my 5090 card. Then again, I know the difference between HDMI 2.1 vs DP 2.1, and even amongst the DP 2.1 there are crucial differences. I even bought a VESA certified cable to ensure I would get the real deal.

Also a developer, I've returned my 57. I was deceived by the poor quality panel, scanlines and vertical bars when you face some very white screen. The local dimming turn every scene in dark like a 80s movie. A the end i've ended returning also cause a island of dead pixel poped. But yeah 32:9 is trully impresive at 57", saddly quality isn't at rendez-vous

This is why I'd get the 57"

180 imo is fine though. 200+ is for very serious competitive gamers. but i went with the g9 personally

32:9 1080p is basically dead, most are 1440p and with the Neo G9 we reached DUHD, but the resolution is heavy af to process

I had both and returned the Samsung and kept the LG. It's better usable screen real estate than the 57". The 57" is just too wide and you'll be moving your head a lot especially in FPS gaming. The LG monitor just ends where your pheripheral vision ends so it's nice. The extra vertical space is greatly appreciated too.
