About this deal

Gaming was a lot of fun with the G9. It’s a completely unique experience, different from the other two 49-inch megawides we’ve reviewed. The 1000R curve creates an environment around you that truly feels immersive. If you turn off the room lights, it isn’t much different than VR goggles. Add good speakers or headphones, and you have a true sensory experience when playing first-person games. Absolutly jaw dropping stunning monitor, use it mainly for flight simulation and have not found a sim yet that does not support it, play the odd games too at times and so far so good, but this monitor is really a dedicated flight simulation monitor and in by Colin

The Custom picture mode works well for all content if you don’t mind a little extra color saturation. sRGB is there if you need accuracy or are a purist, but with 88% coverage of DCI-P3 SDR material doesn’t look oversaturated on the G9. And you can use HDR in Windows without penalty. The brightness control remains available if you want to dial down the output, but even with brightness set to its maximum, the Windows desktop never looked too harsh.

We experimented with the Local Dimming and Dynamic Contrast options using both static and moving images. Local Dimming is a toggle, off or auto. Dynamic Contrast has two levels, the more aggressive of which grays out the brightness control and makes the picture quite vivid. It’s usable for games or videos but only for short periods. The Standard option is a little easier on the eyes and allows for brightness adjustments. It increased contrast nicely without clipping any highlight or shadow detail. is really curved. But the G9 is so wide that image distortion isn’t a problem. When working, documents are at or near the screen’s center. We couldn’t perceive any distractions there.

Plan Benefits

The anti-glare layer is very effective, which is good because avoiding reflections with a screen of this shape and size would be difficult. It’s still a good idea to avoid sunny windows, as they can wash out parts of the image. But it is bright enough to combat medium to bright room lighting. Vivid scenes wrap even more tightly around you. Experience the next level of heart-pounding gaming that's superior to anything you've seen before. The 1000R 49-inch super ultra-wide display fills your peripheral vision and draws you into the character's shoes. The system menu has the rest of the monitor’s convenience options and the local dimming option. Auto works well for both SDR and HDR content and leaves brightness available so you can set the peak output anywhere you wish. Dynamic Contrast is also effective with two levels of aggressiveness. Standard leaves the brightness adjuster available, while Ultimate grays it out and displays a very bright and contrasty image.

This is a strange product. I work as a 3d artist in game development and it's a great monitor for productivity, I can have so many applications on the screen at once it keeps me in the zone instead of tabbing out lots. That said, there are some compatibility issues, especially with full screen applications like games. Some games are great, others were clearly not designed to be on this aspect ratio. And the ones that dont work can sometimes be put to windowed mode and work ok while others can't. I've sound success in most games but it varies. Other than full screen applications this monitor is totally worth it if you're looking to get it to work on, but dont get this if you're only a gamer or just want to watch videos and browse the web (obviously) This monitor has a Dual QHD (5120 x 1440p) resolution screen, plus a blazing fast 1ms response time, and a 240Hz refresh rate. The result is exhilarating gameplay with ultra-smooth action, and no input lag. Samsung’s QLED HDR technology ensures brighter colours, more realistic shades, and real-world contrast for stunningly vivid visuals.Rapid reflexes.Seize winning control. The incredibly-low 2ms input lag brings never-before-experienced response accuracy to catch notoriously-agile enemies. It's so fast, that action begins instantly when you turn on the screen, with virtually no delay between your peripherals and the game. The pixel load was enough that ou r GeForce RTX 3090 couldn’t quite max the framerate at 240 frames per second (fps) but stayed around 200 fps, more than enough to keep action smooth. We noticed that with Adaptive-Sync on, overdrive became grayed out. We didn’t miss it though, because there were no trails behind moving objects. Motion blur was visually non-existent. We made use of the aiming points from the Game menu but missed a frame counter. FRAPS had to be engaged to monitor our play speeds.
