[This video was NOT sponsored by Samsung and I purchased the monitor with my own money; all views are my own]
It's been 6 months since I upgraded to the 57-inch 240hz Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo Dual UHD Monitor and, in this video, I explain why this monitor is paradoxically the best monitor I've ever owned, AND the most frustrating. Despite this, its performance for productivity and gaming is, currently, unmatched and unrivalled and so, if you're looking for an upgrade to your desk, office or gaming setup, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is absolutely the way to go.

Hello. May i ask something? Is this monitor the size of three screens?
I am interested in getting one for sim racing and the 49inch ones aren't long enough to show side mirror to side mirror to replace a three screen set up.
So i was wondering if this is long enough.
i will have to read in comments, but what arm? i have a secret lab magnus xl desk and looking to get this but the arms dont support
Another fantastic, through review Pete! I still have thr Ergotron monitor arm I won from you a while back, and it works flawlessly.
If Samsung comes out with the OLED version of this, my current neo g9 will become a secondary monitor in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for the sleep mode part.
For my specific use case, that’s one of the biggest deal breakers. I really was about to start getting excited for this thing and I’d say you just saved me a lot of money on this one.
Never, ever buy a first year Samsung product.
I’ve bought them all on launch. Am I doing it wrong? 😂
@@PeteMatheson I know the pain. Got a 8k TV in 2019 and last year developed a spot.
I am hoping they release a 57 inch oled next year.
@@roshill2010 no thanks. for productivity and work, it's horrible and you get burnin after a year.
@@bb-ioandepends on your usage, but I understand your point!
Thank you for a fantastic video! I have a question, do you know if the free sync works when you use picture by picture?
Pete, I am using the Bewiser S1020 monitor arm and once you adjust the tension enough on the monitor swivel bracket it holds firm, no sagging. Purchased it from Amazon for around $170US dollars.
Oh niiiice! Gonna check this out, thank you!
can you show a video how to mount it I mean the screws do you take it out of the L shape stand and put it in the vesa circle mount ?
@@PeteMatheson I have the S1020 as well and can confirm once you get the tension adjusted proper, it has no sag.. and I have mine set angled up by a degree or two. The price had me skeptical of its quality but I can confirm it has very smooth action and is on par with Ergotron.
@@PeteMatheson Yes. I have the same arm. No issues for this beast of a monitor. Although I do get nervous anytime I'm having to move the monitor.... so big and I worry I'll break it.
Really appreaciate this video, one question tho, does ur macbook pro heats up really fast or the fans become really noisy when u connect it to the screen?
I used an LG OLED 55" for a few years. It is driving me crazy looking to the top of it. I'm just too close, tbh. So, I ordered this monitor. It will arrive in a few days. I'm excited to get back to an actual monitor.
I'm 2 months into having this monitor & your last videos helped convince me. Took a few days to get used to it but from then on I've never looked back. It's perfect for coding work, the lack of burn in risk being a key factor in that - I'm actually quite happy it's not OLED. I use a separate 55" OLED screen for gaming and this for work so get the best of both worlds. I run 3 machines on it and have no issues, if a laptop supports Thunderbolt 4 then you can use the full res. Being future proof is a nice bonus.
Things that I've learnt that nothing saw warned me about what was the HDR feels washed out in productivity work. I've tried calibrating but it didn't seem to help much. The SDR is great though & I only use it at about half brightness. With a deep desk the stand isn't an issue at all IMO. At first I thought the wobble would bother me but it turned out to just be a non issue. Well, well worth it.
55 inch screen for gaming sounds horrible
I've just bought the samsung 57 inches monitor (going to be delivered in next few days). I want a soundbar for the audio. From what I understand, HDMI soundbars don't work because the monitor doesn't have the HDMI arc port. Is it possible to use a soundbar with a USB port and connect it to one of the monitor's USB ports? Does it works? For example the Razer Leviathan V2. Any suggestions? Thanks
I have a Legion 7i, is it compatible with full resolution? I use it for trading, I know nothing about this stuff
I agree with you, HDR is subpar on this monitor even with HDMI 2.1. The real estate on the otherhand is perfect for my sim racing.
Was interested in this product. Love the 4K resolution it offers. One thing to note, MacBooks do have a scaling option for the text/logo size in the display settings (while keeping the resolution 4K)
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s an incredible monitor.
We set up a dual monitor system using two of these for a client (one above the other) when it was just launched.
Which mount did you use for this? I am trying to set up 2x2 with four of these Odyssey 57s. Not finding great solutions at the moment. Thanks for any point in the right direction.
@@brandoschad3097 as he wanted a standing desk, we turned to a company specialising in trade desks (think Bloomberg terminals).
The mount is fixed to the desk by a set of in-built rails, with an extra long pole and fixed brackets.
As the motor for raising the desk has to handle the weight of the monitors, as well as the computer running them (in a compartment on the desk), the desk itself ended up being a custom build costing around £5K
I share the same setup for both remote work (8+ hours Monday to Friday) and gaming/entertainment (4+ hours each day mid-week and 8+ during the weekends), which makes current QD-OLED/WLED/OLED monitors not really viable unless I want to be extremely careful about burn-in, which I'm not sure I want to put up with. Would you recommend this over any other solution that can survive my specific use case? I prefer ultrawide monitors, my office is well treated for light, money is not truly an issue. I have never used an OLED screen before, so I wouldn't feel like I miss OLED panels, though I do like how they look on display at department stores and such. Thank you for the review!
I have had the 49inch Neo for a few months and honestly for me its been flawless. If you are on the fence about getting one of these G9 screens; just go for it. One thing to note however is that these screens can be very heavy, you’ll need two people to love and fit onto a monitor arm. Apart from that, i was very happy to sell my two 32nch screens after using one of these for a few days.
Insert two thin nylon washers on the shaft clamping the pivot shaft to enhance the grip strength.
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏 I am impressed
Hi Pete, there is this one company btw that does have heavy duty monitor mounts compatible with the Odyssey G9 57 inch which is called Atdec, the mount I saw isn't a 90 degree one, but it does allow adjusting the tilt.
You can also logon blindly, which normally will get it to find the Neo. I do use a Bios password, skipping Boot-logo and allows for a 1 second Boot-delay. The 2-step logon (Bios password, then Windows password) also helps setting up the PC Neo G9 connection. Having a Bios password (and no logo) makes for a safer setup.
I love this monitor so much. I currently run two 34 inch monitors stacked one over the other. I don’t know if I like just how wide this monitor is, but I love the tallness. I think a happy medium // ideal state for me would be something in the 38 inch range sporting the 4k resolution.
Hi @PeteMatheson, regarding zoom sharing I found cool option, you can actually share portion of your screen (you just extend lines as you wish, for example I set frame in the middle of my neo g9 and its really easy to screen share because sharing directly applications I find not so comfortable). To do this you can just in the meeting go into "Share" -> "Advanced" (3rd tab after Screens and Doccuments) -> "Portion of screen" - and just adjust area you want to share :D
Love the necklace, how many people notice it’s a radiator key? Think I might need to do that, always losing mine 😂😂
With how close you sit to the screen, you could use a 12" screen and it would still look like ultra-wide for you.
The issues you described around having to hard reset your PC to get the monitor to recognize it after sleeping and MacBook crashing... would be deal breakers for me I think. I might try this monitor, just need to make sure it's purchased from a place where it can be returned easily. 🐿
Install two horizontal rails on the wall behind + a mobile vertical one that actually travels on them left-right with the screen + a "U" shaped sleigh anchor that travels inside the vertical one. Vertical stops with holes into the vertical rail and pins in it the sleigh, with the monitor self-locking as it leans just a tiny bit forward by its own weight ;) The higher up it goes the more it will lean forward and vice-versa with variable spacing in between those holes ;) Just an idea ;)
@Pete Mateson
You can just turn off the monitor and turn it on again. So they detect the other source.
Uggggghh the oled 57” needs to come out. My company is waiting for me to order my monitor 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I wanted to get this but a few Reddit posts about scan lines STILL being a thing and dead units really rubbed me the wrong way waiting for this revision for a few years
13:10, perhaps try to get an EDID manager to prevent from miscommunication when you are back from sleep mode
This monitor is incredible man. I absolutely love it.
Btw not having issues with sleep mode. That's an odd one man.
Same here!
Hmmm... I'll have to see what I can do... You using a Mac?
@@PeteMatheson Nope, using Windows. That sounds more like a device related issues. Perhaps something in the settings or config menu could resolve that.
I have the oddesy 8 for about 2 years. Still brand new
Cracked me up when he called out HDMI 2.1 and showed the motherboard, when talking about the 7900xtx or the 4090
Using this with an m3 max MacBook as well and love it. Couple of things have helped my experience:
1- I use side by side to have my Mac split the screen into two 4k screens which it likes better. Zoom calls are easier cause I can just share a normal 4k monitor, and scaling works properly so everything isn’t so small. I use each side in 3200x1800 which is a HiDPI mode so it uses the full resolution just scaled at that size. Only downside is you have to deal with the slight weirdness of the line in the middle and the one screen that’s at 60Hz.
2 - I grabbed the PUTORSEN Premium ultrawide heavy duty single wall mount for 80 bucks off Amazon. Works great and no sag, even when I move it around to different positions for work and my sim rig. I did have to use a longer Allen wrench than the one included to crank down the head tighter though. Your mount may work if you grab a longer Allen to increase your torque.
Thanks! Yeah I used to do that but got annoyed with the line and strange colour difference.
Looking for a desk mount rather than wall as I’ve a sit stand desk.
Couple of others have posted recommendations so I’m gonna check those out!
Pretty sure they have a desk mount version as well. Also, check your cables and monitor firmware. I’m using thunderbolt 4 to hdmi 2.1 and the hdmi 2.1 to hdmi 2.1 ports and I don’t have any color difference and as long as nothing is moving, there’s no line either.
Do double check to see if you can tighten down the head better with a longer Allen wrench though. That mount looks almost identical to mine so I have a feeling if you can torque it more there’s no reason to buy a new one.
sorry im thinking of getting this monitor, do you get the full dual 4k with 240hz with a MacBook and what cable do you use to achieve this?
When you use side by side, the monitor does one side at 120 and another at 60. Been fine like that since I’m just working in that mode. My cable setup is in the comment above.
Thank you for the feedback and going into details. I plan to buy a 57-inch monitor, but I am waiting for the new generation of Nvidia GPUs to come out, hoping they will eliminate the power connector and include the latest display ports. It's a shame Nvidia is still using a legacy version of the HDMI, DisplayPort and no USB-C. HDMI is usually the worst for video and is designed for TVs and TV resolutions. It always seems to have some problems, even when you connect it to a different monitor or computer, and you never know what the outcome will be. Additionally, if you start buying HDMI cables, their performance is also unpredictable.
one thing to try to still get the full refresh rate and resolution with the 4090 might be putting the screen into 2x1 pbp mode, routing 2 dp cables from the 4090 to the screen and then joining both monitors in the nvidia system control.
Glad to hear some positive feedback on this monster of a monitor. There is so much complaining about the 240 hrz not available on a 4090. There is no real game that can output these fps on a resoltion like this at the moment. I have been using this monitor for 6 months for work an gaming and it absolutely great.
Exactly this!
I’m hoping I’ll hit higher fps on the 4090 than the 7900. 240hz mouse pointer isn’t all that, lol
@@PeteMatheson Haha you get used to it within 1 hour 😀. You will definitely get a huge boost in performance. Just try out some Alan Wake 2 with Path Tracing pfffff. Just beautifull on a screen this big. Enjoy!
I’m confused, you say the 4090 doesn’t have HDMI 2.1 support? It most definitely does….even my 3090 had HDMI 2.1….My Asus Scar 18 that has a 4090 also has HDMI 2.1. I use an LG oled 4k @ 120hz and I also have the Samsung 55” 8K tv which does 4k @ 120hz and 8K @ 60hz, both of which I ran comfortably with the ASUs Scar 18. 8K @ 60hz can only be done with an HDMI 2.1 port.
@@sachak i think he ment Displayport 2.1 and said HDMI.
@@sachak Actually he explained that in the vid.
So how is the 4090 treating you? Worth the switch from the 7900xtx?
Just for dlss alone, yes.
I can't imagine when i will ever be able to afford one of these kind of screens, but i definitly want to see more reviews (just in case!). Because for my particular use case, these shape and size screens look like the perfect answer to a very niggely issue i have had for years that can't seem to be solved with multiple ''normal'' screens.
Finance it dude, especially if you're an American is super easy to get this monitor.
A what issue??
@@user-fg6mq3dg3d worse advice wow, if you cant afford to pay it off outright you cant afford, this is such an american comment.
I just bought the 55-in Samsung S90C QD-oled it's got four HDMI 2.1 port which is dope
Have you tried holding the power button for a few seconds when you had the "no source" kind of issue? I also have this every now and then with my gen 1 G9 when there are multiple sources involved.
I am still on the original G9. (Would love to be able to afford this one) Which drives me mad daily when waking up my devices. I literally have to turn my monitor off and on to restore my resolution. So feel your pain there. One tip I will give you. Get a USB 3.0 male to female extension cable to extend the service port out with your power and display cables. This will save you pulling apart the back just to update the firmware.
in regards to screen sharing using zoom or google meet, it seems like you are using apple, what is the work around for windows?
Your solution to the stand is to get a full motion tv stand... just means that instead of mounting a monitor arm to the desk... it attaches to the wall... make sure mounts are on a stud, and then its pretty GG from there.
I love this monitor, I don't even use it to the max, 240hz and all that .. I'm just playing wow and palworld and i just love the immersion 😅.
I wish we could see two of these side by side on a 90° corner table desk, I need two of these but am worried about how the combined curves would look on my desk.
I can’t imagine going smaller ever again having had this monitor for 6 months now. I’ve not had an issue with it waking up, but it is slow to wake up, but that could be the PC and not the monitor. I use it for both productivity and games and I love it. Worth the investment for me.
is there a monitor arm yet?
So what were the issues of the XTX?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I have the same monitor and often (not always) have to unplug the power and plug it back in to get it to turn back on from sleep. Dealt with that a lot!
I get the same issue with sleeping devices and mac crashing with the oled G8! I can't believe they haven't fixes this problem yet
I've just bought the samsung 57 inches monitor (going to be delivered in next few days). I want a soundbar for the audio. From what I understand, HDMI soundbars don't work because the monitor doesn't have the HDMI arc port. Is it possible to use a soundbar with a USB port and connect it to one of the monitor's USB ports? Does it works? For example the Razer Leviathan V2. Any suggestions? Thanks
My 1st gen G9 & other non samsung monitor also have the same sleep mode issue. Alt+tab can also trigger the same issue. I suspect it has more to do with how windows handle its power management system
I have the 49" ultra wide variant and ended up buying the Mount-It RV TV Mount (MI-431) for it. Holds the weight easily and locks into place close to the wall. Much cheaper than the ergo mount.
Another thing you need to utilize is the PNP feature. Its a game changer.
I have the 7900 XTX as well and if you swap over to the Pro drivers, your issues will go away.
wym by pro drivers? i am running 23.9.1 since i am not facing any issues with that but i couldn't find anything about pro drivers
I’ve had two Samsung monitors 34” ultra wide and a 32 G6 240hz. Both of them had issues with the DP port when the pc went in sleep mode. At first I thought it was my 6800xt GPU . But when I got my 4080 it did the I had the same issue. I used to have unplug the DP cable and shut monitor off to get it to work. I think this is a Samsung thing lol you are having with sleeping issue. My G6 32” DP port went bad I had a warranty through Besy Buy. They gave me store credit so I have the LG 45” Oled and I have zero issue when the pc goes to sleep
M1 Max Laptop with Caldigit TS4. Possible to get full resolution ?
I currently use Monoprice 49”. 5120x1440. So wanted to know if it was worth upgrading
Even though i'd prefer an OLED panel.. at least with this you can leave it on for long periods without worrying about burn-in. Also though fantastic for desktop work and gaming, how is it for films and videos, not ideal for 16:9... maybe 21:9 wouldn't be so bad. Is nice for having the screen divided in two.. having full 4K video on one side. Definitely wanting superultra wide monitor.
Now that’s a screen for Darius on Retroarch.
im using 3 4k screens can change the scaling on mac. I can also only get 120hz too tho. Oh also the 100r curve was just too much for some of us that dont sit as close. Also some of the 1000r monitors are straight panel that was bent in the middle. 1800R ones are usually more consitant and dont look as weird.
The sleep mode issue is probably a Samsung issue. I have 43” qn90b and also have to reboot sometimes just to wake it up
What was wrong with the XTX card? is it something that everyone will have issues with getting the monitor working to the desisred spec or what actually happened there?
Can you run multiple inputs at the same time? Say a pc and a ps5?
I used the SIIG Heavy Duty monitor arm (holds up to 23kg) for my Odyssey Ark. Maybe you want to use that for your G9.
Do you think that they will ever make an OLED version?
My last gen neo g9 has had constant issues since launch and I've heard of similar issues from people using every other Odyssey model. The screen occasionally goes completely black or rainbow colored until I power cycle it. This also happened on my second unit I bought several months after returning the first. It has gotten worse with age and prolonged continuous use.
Yeah, that's the one thing making me hesitant to buy this, or possibly the next gen one if they release a new one this year. I have the old curved G7, and I love it, but continually had more and more issues, especially with random flickering. Would've sent an epileptic into a seizure.
Have you checked out the Dell u4025qw? I'd love to see a comparison
I love my two vertically stacked 38” 3840x1600 Alienware (lg) monitors. The biggest annoyance I have with them is the inability to shut off the local dimming “feature”.
ouch edge lit... Awful for HDR to a point there is no point in having it at all.
I am very interested in seeing the performance that you see from your 4090 GPU upgrade on this monitor.
I also use the Bewiser s1020 arm with zero issues
I bought this monitor for my SimRacing rig and it’s absolutely amazing!
I bought the 7900 xtx to have full fps with display port 2.1
...Wonders if there are actually any monitors out (or tv's) that have DP 2.1 yet...
(X) Doubt
For the mount issue to prevent drooping just adjust to the perfect angle and jam and allen key in their. I did that with my amazon basics arm to Hold my Samsung OLED G9 and it works perfect lol.
Haha! I love your 'just jam it in there' attitude to resolving that problem!
What issues did you have with your AMD card that made you return it? Was it maybe just that specific Asrock model?
Yeah wild, been using a 6900XT since it came out and the only issue I had was when AMD finally gave us OpenGL drivers (all dat Minecraft FPS) it broke some of my games. (edit: yes the issue was fixed with later drivers)
0:46 it's backside looks like the Iron Man Mark 1 ❤
May I ask where you got these nice wall panels behind your screen at 12:00 from?
Sure! Those came from GIK Acoustics 👍🏼
@@PeteMatheson Awesome thank you :)
When do you think other manufacturers will start introducing similar monitors? I mean 2x4k with different curve or screen size...
Im using old Samsung CRG90 (double 1440p@120Hz) and maybe I'm not thinking about upgrade in near future but... I want to see similar options with lower price...
There are already a bunch of options at the 49" inch size. Not quite as large, but pretty close.
@@frostyolive But they all 2x1440p, not like 57inch G9 2x2160p.
I’m waiting for other options between 49-60 inch with this higher resolution like G9 and high refresh rate.
How does this compare to something like the dell ultrasharp curved monitors?
Random thought this video brought up for me: Windows needs to make an adjustable size task bar option where you can adjust it so it takes up say 10% of the lower part of the screen and you can adjust the transparency. So much wasted space on this and my 49" monitor with a taskbar.
what are those acoustic panels behind the desk? (not the slats)
I use this monitor at my SimRig with a 4090 at 120 Hz. It's really nice to drive with this monitor. I've upgraded from a 49 Inch Samsung and this 57 inch is way better
They definitively need to work on that sleep, input switch, input struggle, resolution changing, etc etc etc bugs
I bought one a month ago - and took it back because it made popping noises (a common issue!).
Luckily, the 2nd one I got doesn't make any noise at all 👍
I have an Elgato Facecam on mine - and yes, the angle is too high up. It's worse seated below! A killer feature would be a behind the screen webcam like you get in some phones.
The plastic cover at the rear is too hard to take off, so I've left mine off so I can access the ports easily. It's against a wall so isn't an issue for me.
I'll do a review of mine and how I use it (mostly for work/productivity) soon.
Gotta say I've been running a Philips 499P9H for a couple of years now, and I'm looking for an upgrade. I've been looking at the 49" OLED and this 57", but that 1000R is throwing me off. 1800R has been absolutely perfect for me. Also, even my old Philips has a powered USB that lets me charge my MacBook. Amazing that Samsung has to skimp even here. What a shame. 🙁
Just one tiny complaint on an otherwise stellar review....you said microLed but its really a miniLed...with microLed you wouldnt get any blooming period since its pixel sized like Oled...so literally true blacks like Oled since individual pixels can be turned off like oled....but otherwise the review is excellent
I Said the same thing that's its huge difference especially @57" 😂 It would be like 57k$ lol
@@tictechtone maybe even more
can you show a video how to mount it on a arm I have the 4 screws on the base stand is that what we use on the vesa mount ?
What exactly were the problems with the 7900 xtx? I was looking to buy one in the near future especially because i dont see the benefit of a 4-5% Performance increase with a RTX 4090.
Or maybe im just hating a bit on NVIDIA.
Nothing, I just believe he had a bad configuration and taichi is not the best company you can go with for AMD cards.
If you plan to get the 7900 XTX I strongly suggest buying the Sapphire Nitro version it will work flawlessly.
I've got a Power Color Red Devil 7900 XTX that's just an absolute BEAST! It's got some coil whine, but I'm almost always wearing headphones, so it's a non-issue for me.
I have the XFX Merc 310 Black Edition and so far no issues running whatever game I throw at it. I have been able to run it yet at 7680x2160 240hz because my pc isn’t close to use the ridiculously short DP cable. Not knowing better I ordered a 10ft DP cable only to get artifact in and screen tearing since apparently from what I’ve researched so far 6.6ft is the max length without issues for that resolution. Right now I’m using HDMI and sticking with 120hz.
@@TyrkhanTo be honest, i wouldn´t have thought of that as well. I´ll be shure to kepp the cable lenght in mind when upgrading to the new rig. Thank you for the warning!
DLSS Alone is worth it.
Im torn between triple monitors for sim racing or this 😅 great video
Triple 57s 😎
If I might add to the wake from sleep issue. It appears to demand a lot from the gpu you’re running I had a similar issue on my G8 oled and had to turn it on before waking my pc with a 3080. Now with my 4090 I no longer have to do this it has to be gpu demanding with pushing that many pixels at such a refresh rate that does it. However I do believe this is primarily a Samsung issue as no other monitors I’ve used had this silly issue. Something the their monitors demand from the gpu causes this had crash.
Not sure if anyone has already commented, but samsun has had the issue of the monitor nit turning on from sleep in many if their monitors
The RTX 4090 does have HDMI 2.1 support but it is limited to 120 Hz because of the GPU not having enough display pipelines. You can only get the full resolution and full refresh rate through DisplayPort 2.1 which is only available on the RX 7900 XTX. The RTX 4090 only has DisplayPort 1.4
Ah I was wondering why the 4090 didn't do the full resolution and refresh rate via the DisplayPort - I wasn't aware it was still only at 1.4 rather than 2.1 (which is kind of silly for the top-line nVidia GPU).
@@DavidStruveDesigns Still have no idea why would Nvidia not go for DP2.1 UHBR20 when the thing (originally) costs 1,600 or a cool 2,200 dollars these days. Guess they want to cap out how useful it is in the future.
I would be very interested in how the refresh rate goes with the 4090 on the g9.
also did you update the firmware the newest version is 1005.3 on the monitor
The no video no display sleep issue is the same with a NVIDIA GPU not just AMD products. It is a known issue with with their ultra wide monitors.
I want to try this so bad. Hate that 1440 resolution. Maybe we get an OLED version soon
Is ot possible to connect a Macbook Air M3 to this 57 display at full resolution? Can I do it directly or with a dock or is it not working at all with this machine?
Did you ever post a video with the 4090 and this monitor?
Secretlab MAGNUS Monitor Arm (Heavy Duty Edition) is advertised as designed to hold this hippo. ;)
Hippo 🤣 I have one on the way for testing!
@@PeteMatheson Great. I'll be waiting for your impressions then. :)
Hi, i have the same monitor for productivity and remotly, what software you use for the windows to fit automatically?, and more important do you know how to improve the refresh rate for more than 60 hertz when you connect the ps5 in one of the screens? I only can get 60 frames (not sure if this monitor have vrr by the way). Thanks
Sorry to say but the issue is the ps5 you can't expect a ps5 to get more than 60 on this monitor
i got two of the 49" version, looking to upgrade to whatever the 2nd generation of this 57" is going to be- not keen on 1st gen samsung products. lol
I just switched to 4K, although 1440p works fine, I just wanted more pixel density
do you know if it would be possible to mirror half of this screen to another 4k screen?
I have been on the fence on buying. The reports of them breaking is more prevalent than any other monitor.
