Love this display!
Didn't see myself spending this much on a panel, but a few months earlier I got a 49" OLED panel for my new gaming desktop and really enjoy the immersion, fast refresh, and extra real estate that allowed me to increase the scale of fonts & icons to something my older eyes were comfortable with.
That got me thinking about how much happier I'd be if only I could have something similar for my daily productivity setup, something with more of a 2160p vertical aspect....
For work & productivity, I had been using a 6 year old LG 32" 4K display. The 60Hz refresh made it pretty unsuitable for any sort of gaming though - that was a point of frustration. Also, it wasn't convenient to constantly be switching inputs on the display between my work & personal laptops - invariably the secondary laptop apps I wanted to use or keep an eye on (streaming music, chat clients, email, etc.) while using the primary laptop on the external 4K would not be visible on the secondary laptop display and I'd have to switch inputs to interact with them.
This 57" monster allows me to run in PBP mode with each laptop displaying to it's own 4K display - and this is how I use it 99% of the time. The work MBP M1 runs at 60Hz - I have a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable that theoretically allows 120Hz but there's an issue with it such that any time I disable PBP mode and re-enable it, the Mac ceases displaying anything to the external panel until I disconnect & reconnect that cable. Because I'm not using the MBP for gaming, I opted to revert back to an HDMI-HDMI cable (mostly to reclaim the Thunderbolt port for other peripherals) and display at 60Hz. The Win/PC laptop displays its 4K content at 120Hz, and uses the same refresh at panel native 7680x2160 as well and without any issues. The display will not, as far as I can tell, allow refresh higher than 120Hz in PBP mode. And the mobile RTX 4090 is not able to display at native panel resolution at 240Hz. It will do 5120x1440 non-native at 240Hz though. That said, gaming at 7680x2160@120Hz looks pretty good to me and I don't feel like I need a higher refresh. And when I do go full screen for a game, I'm playing mostly older games at max settings (Doom 3, Half-Life 2: Update, Alien: Isolation).
Colors aren't quite as saturated as they are on the OLED panel, and the blacks can sometimes look slightly brown compared to those super deep OLED blacks. No surprise there. But these are really minor nits considering how good this display looks otherwise. Also, this display doesn't have the awful & bloated Tizen OS that my OLED panel has. This does mean I will have to make any firmware updates via a USB thumb drive vs wireless connection, but it also means I don't have a bloated TV OS that mediates my experience and usage with its constant input switching, screen blanking, and always-on Bluetooth (?) connection.
This is a really nice monitor, and I am hoping to get many years of productive use out of it.

Is a beast of a monitor! From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was apparent. The dual 4K UHD resolution and Quantum Mini-LED technology make games and media look absolutely stunning. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and the HDR1000 really shines when playing cinematic games.

I have to say that this monitor is incredible. I'm not a gamer and I bought this purely for productivity so I probably don't need many of the specs that will draw in the gamers, but I must say that this monitor takes multi-tasking to next level. I work in the financial sector with massive spreadsheets and can take advantage of the full screen width at times or divide desktop space into sectors to have multiple apps available at a glance. Paired with my additional 32" monitors on each side and this has dramatically made an impact on my productivity and overall efficiency. I couldn't be more happier with this purchase!

Let me start out by saying I have never owned a curved screen monitor, I have always stuck to flat screens. Most recently I ran 3 x 43" monitors, 2 in protrait mode and 1 in regular landscape configuration and I enjoyed it but it just felt off a little bit.
When first researched vurved monitors non of them had the specs to match what I already had in a flat screen so I pretty much shrugged them off, once I saw the 57" Odyssey Neo G9 I knew this was the one to try if anything to replace my current monitor configuration. I can tell you I was not disappointed.
Pros: The contrast is amazing, blacks are so dark the monitor appears to be turned off in those regions. The sharpness and readability is solid as any 4K monitor I ahve had. The 1000R curve draws you in and is so easy on my eyes esspecial when i am multitasking and feel like I am have a great veiw of the battlefield on games that properly support 32:9 format. Refresh rate is very nice, even at 120Hz is it so smooth!
The Cons: The veiw angle is quite narrow, I ahve heard this alot from people, but not sure what they except from a curved screen as they are designed provide an immersive experience for user in acentered postion and are not meant to be veiwed from the side. The price is up there but I am a firm believer in that you get what you pay for.
The only warning I would give people who like me never have had a 1000R curved ultra wide is it is an adjustment period to get used to it. I was worried at first that the shorter height of going from a 43" 16:9 screen to a 57" 32:9 screen would bother me. I am happy to report that after a couple days of working with it I am more than happy with this purchase!

The picture quality is simply stunning with vibrant colors and crisp clarity that truly brings my games and content to life. The ultrawide screen offers an immersive experience, especially for gaming and multitasking. The 57-inch display gives me more than enough room to have multiple windows open side-by-side, making productivity a breeze.
The refresh rate is fantastic, providing smooth and lag-free performance that enhances both work and play. And with the sleek design, it looks amazing on my setup. Samsung really nailed it with this monitor; it’s a perfect balance of functionality and beauty. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch viewing experience!

Ultimate Dual 4k 31:9 monitor - ahead of its time

Excellent monitor, can drive a M2 Macbook, M2 Mac Studio, or RTX 3090 TI at 120FPS with the HDMI 2.1 port which is really nice for a dual 4k monitor.
Pros:
- Crisp font
- Double 4k
- 120FPS with HDMI 2.1 using double 4k or PBP with 4
- Bright monitor
- Lots of color and customization settings options
Cons:
- No built in audio.
- No desk arm solution yet. If you want to save space, wait for a arm to be released that supports this monitor. The stand is large, so it can get in the way of a keyboard and mouse setup if on the desk.
- Thunderbolt 4 to HDMI 2.1 does not hit 120fps (only 60 FPS option) for 4k (PBP) or dual 4k. [1]
- DisplayPort 2.1 is not supported on most devices. So if you are using DP 1.4 it will be slower than HDMI 2.1.
- Careful how you peel the packaging screen protector when unboxing. If you remove it very slowly, there will be minimal white plastic on the bottom of the monitor. Get a micro fibril towel an wipe it off, or use the same plastic cover and use the edge to wipe off the remaining plastic pieces.
[1] Maybe there was an issue with my HDMI 2.1 cable matters convert + HDMI 2.1 cable matters HDMI cable or a firmware problem on mac when using thunderbolt 4 ports.

As someone who's been using the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch curved monitor for productivity purposes, I can confidently say it's a game-changer for my workflow. This behemoth of a display has transformed the way I multitask and manage my digital workspace.
## Immersive Workspace
The first thing you'll notice is the sheer size and curvature of this monitor. At 57 inches with a 1000R curve, it's like having two 32-inch 4K monitors seamlessly merged into one. The curve isn't just for show - it actually helps reduce eye strain and makes the entire screen feel more accessible, despite its massive size.
## Unparalleled Screen
the amount of screen real estate is simply staggering. I routinely have 15 or more applications open simultaneously, arranged exactly how I want them. This level of multitasking was previously impossible without multiple monitors or constant window switching.
## Potential Drawbacks
It's not all perfect, though. The aggressive curve can take some getting used to, especially if you're coming from flat monitors. Additionally, the sheer size of this monitor means it takes up a significant amount of desk space and its sheer $$$$
## Final Thoughts
While the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch is marketed primarily as a gaming monitor, it's an absolute powerhouse for productivity. The immense screen real estate, combined with the crisp resolution and thoughtful features, makes it an excellent choice for professionals who need to manage multiple windows and applications simultaneously.
However, it's important to note that this monitor is a significant investment, both in terms of cost and space requirements. But if you have the budget and the desk space, the productivity gains can be substantial. After using it for an extended period, I can't imagine going back to a traditional multi-monitor setup.

The Samsung Neo G9 57-inch monitor is nothing short of spectacular! The ultra-wide screen feels like stepping into another world, offering an unmatched field of view that’s perfect for immersive gaming and multitasking. The 240Hz refresh rate and Quantum Mini LED technology make every detail pop with stunning clarity and vivid colors. It’s like having two monitors in one, but without the annoying bezel in the middle. Setup was a breeze, and the picture quality is breathtaking whether I'm gaming, working, or watching movies. It’s a premium investment, but the experience is worth every cent!

As a current owner of the Samsung Odyssey 49" Neo G9 (released August 2021), I knew I already liked these series of gaming monitors from Samsung. I decided to upgrade to the Samsung Odyssey 57" Neo G9 as I needed more screen real estate for both work and home usage. I list below, IMO, the pros and cons of this particular gaming monitor,
Pros:
* 59" Screen Size
* PBP
* KVM
* Mini-LED
* I/O (e.g. HDMI 2.1, DP 2.1, et al)
Cons
* Price
* PBP is limited (e.g. refresh rates)
* Nipple (i.e. interface toggle/switch)
I'm sure there are other pros and cons that I forgot to list but those are what I consider the most important at the time of this writing. I purchased this particular gaming monitor on sale for $1799.99 as an fyi.

At first I could see where the two 32 inch screens fused together in the center of the screen during dark scenes. Not sure what happened but I haven’t seen it since the first couple of days of ownership.
It’s a great monitor and I love it for productivity and games that support it

This was one of those purchases where I know I don't need it but I want it anyway. I was already using a 49" monitor so I questioned whether the additional 8 inches was worth it. I can say without question I feel the upgrade was worth it. The additional screen space, clarity, and color compared to my original 49" monitor are stunning. You would not regret purchasing this monitor.

This thing is a beast! I had the 49in oled and it was beautiful and all but i wanted the extra real estate. It is fantastic and the immersion from how huge it is with the curve is wonderful! So far only one ussue that when the pc went to sleep it didnt wake up the monitor and i had to do some rearranging to get it back. But i turned that off anyway so not sure if its a thing or just a fluke. Regardless it really is a massive monitor but i love it personally.

DUAL-MONITOR MODE DOESN'T WORK

I saw this monitor on sale for a decent chunk off the price and decided to try it out as I've been looking for an ultra wide for a while. After some research, the neo g9 seemed to have what I wanted but what really caught my eye was the ***ADVERTISED FLAGSHIP FEATURE: (world's first) "dual monitor mode." According to Samsung it enables you to plug in 2 sources and have the monitor split in 2 with a few available configurations. I was expecting to just have it split down the middle and essentially have 2 monitors side by side with no bezel. What Samsung does not mention in any substantial way, is that using this feature prevents you from using pretty much any of the other nice features that give this monitor its price. No hdr, 240hz, low latency, etc. Weird that one of the key selling points (WORLD'S FIRST) of a product disables the rest of the selling points. It is a pretty heavy monitor as one could imagine and weird to assemble/handle. Depending on your setup, it may require a second set of hands to help you move it around so I was a little frustrated having to take it down to return. Another thing is that the ambient lighting it has built in apparently only works with hdmi. Otherwise it's just a nightlight. But, if all you care about is the monitor working on a basic level and looking nice, then it is a very nice monitor. Colors good, darks good, all that good stuff. Would have been 5 stars from me but missing feature info cost me a lot of time and effort just to end up returning it. If you're thinking of buying for the dual monitor feature, don't. I ended up going with a couple of 32" neo g8s and haven't looked back. From what I understand, the g9 is just 2 g8s spliced together anyway and I couldn't tell the difference in picture quality

Wow…For multitasking, the ultra-wide aspect ratio is a game-changer. It’s like having two monitors without the bezels in between. Whether you’re editing videos, managing spreadsheets, or coding, the extra screen real estate is invaluable.
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is worth every penny for anyone serious about gaming or needing a powerhouse for work and entertainment. It’s a significant investment, but the sheer quality, performance, and versatility make it one of the best monitors on the market.

I love this monitor! Yes, it was expensive so you probably need to wait for a good sale, but it was worth the wait. You can set it up like one 8k display, or what I like is to set it up like two 4k displays using the pip feature. It is almost like having two 32" monitors side be side, but I think it is even better than that.

This monitor is awesome. I got it mainly for productivity and it works so well. The screen is so good and colors, contrast and blacks are almost oled level quality. You can use 2 inputs or split your screen into multiple zones using soft ware like fancy zones. This is a productivity work beast. Entertainment is also good on this. The only downsides I can think of are the long legs of stand that eats up my desk space. Ther is also the minor hassle of trying to screw in screws of stand to back of monitor. However, this can be achieved with some difficulty. The control menu is a mass8ve let down for a monitor this good. It's clunky and hard to use. Monitor shoukd have had its own remote. Finally, my 4090 gpu can't output 4k at 240hz on this monitor. You can only go on a lesser resolution to hit 249hz. However, I am not bothered as I dont game on it. If you are considering this monitor, plesse dont wait, just go for it. You won't regret it.Also, don't forget to get geek's squad protection. That way you can rest easy. I get to my office each morning, and still stare at this behemoth of beauty in awe. Definitely a great monitor.
