Product Information

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. The Adaptive-Sync technology is supported, which provides a variable refresh rate (VRR) for compatible graphics cards. DSC, or Display Stream Compression, is supported on AMD’s RX 5xxx series and NVIDIA GTX 16-series and RTX 20-series (or newer) graphics cards.

Both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certifications are present while the VRR range amounts to 60-240Hz. As long as your frame rate is within this range, VRR will remove tearing and stuttering. To set the monitor to 240Hz, you’ll first need to set it to 240Hz in the OSD menu. However, to get 240Hz at 5120×1440, you’ll need a GPU that supports DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC. Unlike the Odyssey G7 models, the Samsung C49G95T doesn’t support Motion Blur Reduction, which could further decrease ghosting at the cost of picture brightness and variable refresh rate, but it’s not necessary either. Without DSC, you’ll be limited to 120Hz at 5120×1440 8-bit color and 100Hz at 5120×1440 10-bit color. Price & Similar MonitorsThe Samsung Odyssey G9 is based on a 48.8″ VA panel with a 5120×1440 Dual Quad HD resolution, which results in roughly 109 pixels per inch. Basically, you get two 27″ 1440p monitors side by side, without the bezels in-between. The screen has a matte anti-glare screen coating, which eliminates reflections while the aggressive 1000R curvature matches the curvature of the human eye for a more immersive viewing and gaming experience. Such high pixel density provides you with sharp text and details as well as plenty of screen space without any scaling necessary!

We also recommend leaving the Dynamic Brightness option at ‘Off.’ These features automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the content on the screen, which can cause brightness fluctuations. Design & Connectivity 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.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. It’s factory-calibrated and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space (125% sRGB, 92% Adobe RGB) with 10-bit color depth support for 1.07 billion colors.
