Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Immersive Ultrawide Experience: The 49-inch screen with a 1000R curve provides an unparalleled immersive experience for gaming and effectively replaces multi-monitor setups. Users appreciate the massive screen real estate that allows for seamless multitasking without the distraction of bezels.
  • High-End Performance Specs: With a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, the monitor delivers buttery-smooth visuals that are ideal for competitive gaming. The DQHD resolution ensures that text and graphics remain sharp, making it a powerful tool for both play and professional productivity.
  • Versatile Multitasking Features: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) options are highly praised for allowing users to display multiple inputs simultaneously. This is particularly valued by traders and office workers who need to manage several applications or computers at once.

Cons

  • Reliability and Power Failures: A significant number of reviewers reported the monitor suddenly dying or failing to power on after only a few months of use. Many users experienced these failures shortly after the one-year warranty expired, leading to frustrations over repairability and product longevity.
  • Quality Control Issues: Many units arrived with or developed defects such as dead pixels, horizontal scan lines, and significant backlight bleed. Some customers had to go through multiple exchanges before receiving a unit that met acceptable quality standards.
  • Design and Ergonomic Flaws: The included stand is noted for being extremely large and deep, consuming a significant amount of desk space. Additionally, the port placement is criticized for being difficult to access and requiring cables to be bent at awkward angles to fit.

  1. Returned due to sheer size

    Returned but not because there was anything *wrong* with it. It’s just *so much bigger* than any of the photos make it look. The quality was great, the monitor was great, I loved it – it just dwarfed my desk. If you have the space, this is a great monitor!

  2. Good for what it is

    Quality is good for what it is but OLED is better if you want to be immersed in gaming

  3. My last monitor I will ever want

    Excellent monitor. Delivered in oversized box with lots of protection. Easy to assemble. Even a caveman can do it. The support base is a steel plate, nice and heavy for the 23 pound monitor. The resolution is phenomenal. I have it further away from me than my previous monitor and I can read it better, especially with transitional/bifocal lenses. Video display is fast. Even streaming services open movies quick. Well worth the money, especially if you are a gamer.

  7. No plug?

    Does this monitor actually not come with a power plug or is it just me? Came with doubles of video cables but for a thousand bucks you think it would come with a power plug. Fortunately i had a spare pc to jack a cord from. As far as performance it works great. Loving it so far.

  8. An Awesome Monitor that Could be Better

    I’d been eyeballing one of these Odyssey G9’s for some time, so I finally picked one up. I’ll say this – it’s an amazing experience to both work and play games on such an ultrawide screen. I simply love it. The colors are great, too. I get no screen tearing, games are fluid (driving this monitor with an Nvidia 3090ti), and working on it is amazing. Text is nice and sharp, too. Simply love this monitor.

    So, then, why give it only 4 stars?

    The monitor came with one stuck pixel. I contacted Amazon about getting a replacement and was told that the only real option I had was to send this one back first, await my refund, and then order another one. That wasn’t going to work for me since I needed this for work and simply can’t take off several days while this was all sorted out. Fortunately, the stuck pixel is not always noticeable and near the bottom edge of the screen.

    Secondly, while sliding the monitor back on my desk, two of the rubber feet on the display stand simply came off. I had to lift up this monitor to stick them back on. At this price point, I’d expect the rubber feet to adhere a bit better then that… at least enough to allow me to slide the monitor a bit if I need to access the back or re-adjust it’s position on my desk.

    Despite these two things, I really love this monitor.

  11. Big Screen, Big Burn-In

    After leaving the screen on for a while with anything that’s bright, it leaves an after-image for quite a long time. The after-image is very noticeable if you use dark windows in the area where anything bright was previously on the screen.
    When the bright object is on the screen for a short amount of time, it appears to go away quickly, but I’ve seen after-images remain for more than 4 hours in some cases
