“I currently have the 49” Samsung OLED Odyssey Neo G9. It has been absolutely fantastic as a monitor and I can’t praise this thing enough. 1440p gaming with a high refresh rate has been so fun on lots of modern games… [truncated] …”

“… [truncated] … almost no gaming. Scared of OLED possible burn-in but maybe just paranoid. Samsung seems like a solid choice but open to other options and variations. Current PC specs - 3070ti,… [truncated] …”

ultrawidemasterrace “well guys, to make a long story short...”

I feel pretty silly for taking people at their word instead of reading the fine print. Before buying a $1,300 Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, I **specifically asked** the sales rep if My Best Buy Total covered *damage*, because I’d be hauling the monitor from Cincinnati to San Francisco. She assured me that if it was damaged in transit, I’d be covered. After the issue appeared, I contacted Best Buy chat. That rep also assured me it was covered and scheduled my Geek Squad appointment for me. When I arrived, the Geek Squad rep initially told me it *was* covered when he opened my Total bundle. After about 10 minutes and a conversation with his manager, he came back and said he was wrong; my monitor wasn’t covered after all. That’s 3 out of 4 Best Buy reps who initially believed it was covered. The monitor made it through the move just fine. When I returned home from Christmas break, I found a large black circle on the screen. I live alone and wasn’t home when it appeared, so I don’t believe this is physical damage; I believe it’s a hardware issue. Only then did I learn that My Best Buy Total just extends the manufacturer warranty by a year. That’s it. If that had been explained at the point of sale, I would’ve declined Total and bought Samsung Care instead. At this point, it feels like less of a miscommunication and more of a fundamental problem with how Total coverage is communicated internally.

indiangaming “Dad bought me this PC for getting good marks in 10th”

Don't mind the wallpaper. This picture was taken about a year ago, right after I graduated 10th with 92%, and my dad bought me this PC. We built it at home together. **Specs:** RTX 4060 OC 8GB Ryzen 7 7700X (8-core) 32GB XPG RAM 1TB Crucial SSD The PC cost ₹1.10 lakh during Amazon Big Billion Days. I bought the 1TB Crucial SSD for ₹5,000; the same one now costs around ₹17,000. I really wish I had gone for 2TB back then. It has been around 1.5 years, and I have not encountered a single issue so far. I have not played many games on it, so I have not really tested its full performance. I play Forza Horizon 5 casually sometimes, and there have been no issues. Monitor: Samsung 144Hz (not sure about the model). The other monitor was just lying around and is probably a 10+ year old Dell. **Peripherals:** Cosmic Byte Butterfly Keyboard (GK-37) - some keys do not work properly at times, and I have had to replace many of them. I will be buying a new one soon. Cosmic Byte Firestorm mouse so far, good

ultrawidemasterrace “Neo 57” vs LG 5k2k”

Well I think my quest to find the perfect work-and-game setup has finally ended, but not how I had originally planned. My first ultrawide was a 34” Alienware from 2018 and then 37” Acer that I brought to work for productivity. I always added a 24”-27” side monitor for extra resolution in my 1440p setups. After moving to remote, I was set on trying to find the perfect single-monitor 4k ultrawide to switch between my work laptop and PC and decided on the Samsung 57” Neo. I used it for a few months but the single desk setup still didn’t feel right. I was constantly moving my mice and keyboard (different preferences for productivity and gaming) and the input swapping often would bug out and require unplugging something to get it working again. Even a KVM would be difficult because I couldn’t find one that supported the full DP 2.1 at 240hz. Doing this several times a day had me eyeing the 45” LG 5k2k for a separate, pure gaming setup. Both of these monitors are incredible and I was fortunate to find both during recent sales. After experiencing both, here is my list of pros and cons: Samsung 57” \+ incredible for productivity and window management for software development \+ bright mini LED display with sharp text \+ 240hz and 32:9 is amazing for certain games \+ Excellent curve for both productivity and gaming \- Not OLED (but nice to not worry about the downsides) If you’re using it 60%+ of the time for productivity, get the 57” LG 5k2k \+ OLED looks as amazing as everyone says for gaming, even with the matte finish \+ I was doubtful, but the curve actually feels appropriate for the size. I did not get this impression in the store but at home it feels perfect when you’re sitting closer to the monitor \+ solid 165hz refresh rate. On paper I wanted 240hz but realized even a 5090 isn’t able to push that in most games with ultra settings and no frame gen. I cannot tell the difference in refresh rate between these two in the games I play (BF6, Diablo, RDR2, etc) \+ the extra vertical height really does make a difference for game immersion \- definitely not the right size for pure productivity, at least for me. I need more side-by-side and less vertical If you’re doing 60%+ gaming, get the LG 5k2k I wish there was a perfect setup for both but they clearly have their own strengths in different areas. I eventually plan to move one of these setups to my basement, but for now I’ll enjoy the literal side-by-side comparison of where each one shines. Happy to answer any questions to help others decide, though I clearly couldn’t make a decision myself.

ultrawidemasterrace “Should I return the 49” for the Samsung 58”?”

Hi everyone. So yesterday I picked up the 49” Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G93SD) for $1199.99. I really like the look of it and how it sits at my desk so far, I have the Ergotron mount coming as well. My concern is that I am coming from 2 dual 32” LG monitors and I do plan to do a good amount of productivity work with light/casual gaming. I do mostly engineering work so a lot of excel, programming with NPSS, VSC and other various applications. So my question is, should I return the 49” and pick up the 58? It’s currently $1499.99 so just $300 more. I know the curve is more aggressive and I am wondering if it’s so massive that it’s just going to stick out pretty far and make the outside edges of my desk unusable. I would get a mount for it as well. Just looking for some advice and opinions from people with some first hand experience. If you prefer the 49” OLED and it’s worked great for productivity stuff or if the 58” made that much more of a difference. TIA!!!

oled_gaming “Joined the OLED club”

Just got the Samsung Odyssey G80SD and honestly I’m still kind of shocked by how good it looks I was originally going with the G81SF, but after seeing so many people talk about the grain issue and returning it, I decided to cancel it and went with the G80SD instead. This is my first OLED monitor and the difference is crazy if compared with IPS. The camera honestly doesn’t do it justice, in person it looks way better. The contrast and colors especially are just on another level The smart TV features are actually more useful than I expected. I was even able to install Stremio, which I didn’t think would work, so now I can use it for both gaming and watching stuff without needing anything else. The speakers surprised me too. I saw people saying they’re just average, but to me they sound perfectly fine, clear and loud enough that I don’t feel like I need external speakers The build quality is really nice as well. Very clean look and putting it together took like 2 minutes, no screws or anything Since this is my first OLED, I’d appreciate any tips on how to take care of it properly and avoid any long term issues. Also if anyone else here is using the G80SD, would love to know what settings you’re using Main reason I got it was for PS5, no PC. I did try connecting my MacBook just to see how it looks, but 32" feels a bit too big for close work. For gaming though, it feels perfect Really happy with it so far
