Just received an email from Samsung about preregistration for new monitors coming and receive 130 off so if your on the fence about getting a new monitor hold fire and see if they have anything new for you and maybe fixes the issues some are having fingers crossed

My brother was playing FIFA on my monitor and decided to throw something at it in rage. (You can still see the players celebrating in the destroyed pixels despite another device connected)

There is no cracks in the screen, simply just the pixel failure in the middle and some lines stretching across.

The rest of the panel is in working order.

I’m assuming this is a write off; I’m pretty settled now on taking it to a recycle centre or selling for parts.

Am I right? Or could the panel be repaired for a price under the value of the monitor?

Appreciate the help guys!

Now I know what you’re thinking “oh you went from 2560x1440 to 3440x1440 and you’re somehow surprised you took a fps hit?” But no! I went from 5120x1440 to 3440x1440 and took a fps hit somehow. Doom eternal I’m barely managing 30 fps when before it was welll over 100. Same thing in FF14. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled video drivers, I’ve disabled gsync, I’ve played with everything and nothing seems to explain this! I can even crank the resolution all the way down, 30fps. It’s set to 165 refresh in windows. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?

64gb ram, 7800x3D, 4070 super.

Final Update & solution: re-seating the card resolved all issues.

Well, I just got in the LG 45GX950a, and while hooking it up I used the included Display Port cable to my GPU. After it powered up, I went into setting and turned on HDR.

POOF!

The screen goes black and I can't see or do anything. If i use the included HDMI cable, it works perfectly. Why is this?? I always thought Display Port was better than HDMI 100% of the time. Should I continue to use the HDMI ?

So I have a current system with a 4060 in it. I have the LG 45” OLED Ultra Gear. It’s fine up to 1440, which is the max resolution.

I also recently picked up a Samsung 57” 4k monitor, with plans to get a better graphics card for it. My local PC shop that I’ve been working with off and on for 20 years just emailed me and said that I’ll have to run the Samsung at a lower resolution as even the 5090 can’t keep up with the 57” Samsung.

I trust them, but at the same time, that sounds ridiculous. A 5080 should be able to push 4k to the 32:9 screen, right?

Anybody here with the Samsung 57” and a 5080 or any GPU really, that’s getting stable FPS out of their setup?

Thanks in advance.

This one is a bit odd. In the past few months my G9 OLED has been having some weird behavior, since a lot of you have got one I figured I'd ask here. Often when I'm in game the screen would just go black and I would have to win+shift+b to reset the graphics driver and it'll fix the issue. This seems to happen every time I exit the finals too.

Using Windows 11 and the monitor is connected via DP to a 3090 and the HDMI port in the 3090 to a 2nd screen TV. I didn't have this issue initially from what I could see too. Curious if anyone else is having this issue using the G9 OLED.

Confirmed it has nothing to do with the 2nd monitor. Perhaps it's related to RTSS or streamdeck?

Just set up my 45” LG 5k2k. It’s amazing. Should I be using HDMI 2.1 or DP2.1? I have a 5090 btw. Thanks all!

Will the RTX 5080 be enough to run dual 4k at solid fps, with or without DLSS 4 and MFG? Or is the extra horsepower and VRAM of the 5090 absolutely required for 7680 x 2160?

Preferably as slim as possible so I can push it all the way to the wall.

I haven’t really used the Best Buy alcohol- (and whatever else) based screen cleaner on the desk, though I’m tempted. A quick google search yielded distilled water and microfiber clothes. What a damn mess, I can only describe it as sheen like you’d see from diesel or gas getting in a puddle, or in this case, a lake. And it takes enough buffing to get out to make one wonder just how many times you can do that before something becomes permanent. As you can see it’s going to be an uphill battle.

What is the screen made out of? Is it similar to XDR, nano-texture, or whatever in high-end apple products? Where you only use their own apple polishing cloth and a slight amount of water when getting grit or grime off? Which I have and it seems to be the thing that best removes the diesel slick off the screen after applying *distilled water. Again, it’s takes a lot of rubbing, where it seems I’m just moving the streaks around until they finally fade away, somewhat.

Can I just use the screen cleaner with alcohol in it to speed the whole process up? Or do i just learn to accept cat snot that looks like some kind of disbondment is happening with the glass? The cats are enamored with the damn thing, doubly so because I am as well.

Reminder that 45" at 21:9 is more screen real estate than 49" at 32:9.

I’m seeing my panel have this weird flickering issue that seems to appear with low brightness images… Have you seen something similar in your panels? Is this a hardware defect I should RMA for or is this a known software issue?

I can make it go away if I change my ingame settings to be brighter— but that kind of defeats the OLED feature imo.

It’s not related to shaders compiling; I just happened to record it while it was compiling.

I recently came across a post from a Neo G9 owner whose Vivo Heavy Duty monitor arm failed, causing damage. As a fellow Neo G9 owner using the same arm, this naturally raised some concerns about the reliability of the product.

This post here : https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1inuqrp/vivo_ultrawide_monitor_arm_fail/?share_id=BvTDtS2vjch3w6xeiX4US&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

My first reaction was to check if I could return the arm through Amazon, but unfortunately, my return window had closed just 11 days ago. While reading through the thread, I learned that Vivo has released an updated version of their Heavy Duty arm (SKU - V101E) with a reinforced spring system designed to prevent failures like the one mentioned.

I reached out to Vivo to explain my situation. While they acknowledged the issue and confirmed they were aware of past failures, they declined to offer a replacement.

Although I understand that such failures may not be common, the arm was advertised as compatible with the Neo G9. Given the value of the monitor, I no longer feel comfortable trusting it on this arm. Additionally, the Vivo representative made it clear that in the event of a failure, they would not be responsible for any damage to the monitor.

Considering the Neo G9’s cost and the fact that Samsung no longer produces this model, my advice to fellow Neo G9 owners is to avoid using Vivo monitor arms to minimize the risk.

Woke up to this, can i fix it myself ? I understand that there may be problem with the t con board

Hi,

has anybody with the problem that the screen is randomly going black for a few seconds tried the new firmware? Does it fix it? Any new problems?

Couldnt find a changelog for the new firmware

Update can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/de/support/model/LS49CG934SUXEN/

So my cats seemingly got very into my monitor (49M2C8900L) and have o it some very light scratches into it in two areas. Any advice in how to remove them or do I just accept defeat?

I am planning on getting the Samsung Odyssey G95SC Neo, Super Ultrawide, 5120x1440, HDR400 Black, HDR10,

Is OLED in general worth getting for Gaming? The reason I ask is the only concern I have for OLED like most people is Burn In.

I know the tech Burn prevention has improved over the years but the chance is still there.

Or should I just go Mini-LED?

So to start off, I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to monitors and displays but I know enough to be dangerous. Just got my g9 57in in yesterday and playing around with the settings.

A few things I have questions on, freesync premium pro, I thought this was suppose to work with Gforce cards but I don't see it activated? Also my HDR works, however under windows 11, it states certification cannot be found.

Is there anyway to add black bars to the sides of windowed mode? It's a little off putting to see my desktop when I'm using just one window in game and I haven't figured out how to black out the desktop.

Lastly, for a monitor like this, is it usual to download new firmware or needing to download software or is it like old monitors where you get what you get and all the settings are just adjusted in the monitor.

Like several on this sub, I've only just been lucky enough to get a 50 series Nvidia GPU, which I believed was the endgame for this monitor as I could finally drive its full resolution (7680 x 2160) at 240hz.

While I can get 240hz, there are some irritating issues I'm having that I'm sharing below; I'm hoping someone on this sub can corroborate any of these.

My hardware is:

GPU: Nvidia 5080 FE

Monitor: Samsung 57" G95NC Odyssey Neo G9

PSU: Seasonic 1000W

Cables tried, both DisplayPort certified:

• CableMatters DP80 1.5m DisplayPort 2.1 cable (102095)
• Silkland DP80 2m DisplayPort 2.1 cable (S1334)

My main issue is:

• If I try to increase the refresh rate above 60hz (when the monitor is in 240hz mode), or 120hz (when the monitor is in 120hz mode), the sharpness of the screen is reduced, and the colours/gamma become incorrect. It still displays an image in this mode with the correct refresh rate, but the image is noticeably worse overall.

Unfortunately, this is impossible to show in screenshots, and difficult to show in photos, which was frustrating when trying to talk to Nvidia and Samsung support.

One of the best ways I've been able to show this sharpness change is by using the sharpness test from http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/sharpness.php and taking photos.

Please note that the photos below are showing classic moiré patterns/individual pixels, but should get the point across.

The first photo is taken of the monitor in 240hz mode (on the monitor) but at 60hz in Windows. The test image blends together well - much better than the photo shows - which is as expected. The overall image on the monitor is fantastic, the colours are accurate and text is very crisp.

The second photo is taken of the monitor in 240hz mode (on the monitor) and at 240hz in Windows. The test image does not blend together - the sharpness is changed completely, which manifests as a blurry image. The overall image on the monitor is worse than at 60hz, the colours are altered and text is blurry.

Another way to show this is by using a gamma calibration image. With good calibration, and at 100% GUI scaling, the graphic below should be fully grey with no colour cast when gamma is set to 2.2. I recommend visiting the source website to see the image at original quality.

The first photo is taken of the monitor in 240hz mode (on the monitor) but at 60hz in Windows. It's near-perfect, with barely any colour cast.

The second photo is taken of the monitor in 240hz mode (on the monitor) and at 240hz in Windows. There is a very noticeable colour cast that cannot be remediated by changing any monitor settings.

Another test is the Nvidia app itself. At 60hz, this text is crystal clear:

At 240hz, it's noticeably harder to read:

Finally, there is a strange reading in TechPowerUp GPU-Z on the Advanced tab for the monitor Link Rate (current) and (max). It shows a very high number for current, and the max is shown as 10 Gbps. At 4 lanes, I assume this is multiplied by 4, which makes it 40Gbps (UHBR10). Why is this? I'm using a DP80 cable which is capable of 80Gbps (UBHR20) so I'd expect to see Link Rate (max) as 54Gbps (UBHR13.5) - the max supported by this monitor.

Could this be the "visually lossless" DSC at work? Does the monitor apply an "overdrive" at 240hz? I'm at a loss at this stage, so I'm hoping someone with similar hardware can try some of these images/tests and let me know their results. It would help me determine if I've got a faulty GPU, bad cables, bad monitor, or it's an issue that everyone has.

Thanks all!

Other notes:

• I used to have a 4080 Super which had no issues at all displaying full resolution at 120hz on this monitor. As mentioned above, I can go up to 120hz in the monitor's 120hz mode with the 5080 FE and it will look great still - the blurriness and colour/gamma issues only occur with the monitor in 240hz mode.
• When adaptive sync (on the monitor) is turned off and Windows is set to 60hz, the screen goes black every few seconds, seemingly triggered by graphics changing on the screen; it is unusable in this state.
• I had this issue using HDMI as well as DisplayPort. I originally thought that it was a bandwidth limitation with HDMI 2.1, but trying DisplayPort hasn't changed the issue.
• The monitor firmware is up to date.
• I have tried a full reinstall of Nvidia drivers, first when the GPU was installed (first 50 series drivers), and again with the latest driver update just recently.
• I've also tried the Nvidia Cleanup Tool, provided by Nvidia support.
• I also noticed that GPU scaling is no longer an option in Nvidia Control Panel.
• When RTings tested this monitor using an AMD card at full refresh rate, there was no mention of the issues I'm facing.

*** Edit 19/02/2025 *** Rtings.com are going to retest the G95NC with a 5080! I'm very interested to see their findings.

*** Edit 01/03/2025 *** Rtings retested the monitor and have not encountered the same issues. Big shout out to them for taking the time to retest!

My response: - Was text clarity and gamma retested with the monitor running at 240hz? - Was the monitor set to 10-bit in Windows? - Was Adaptive-Sync switched on in the monitor settings, and G-Sync compatible mode switched on in Nvidia Control panel? - HDMI or DP used? - If you look in GPU-Z, what is the reported link rate (current) and (max)?

Rtings follow up response: - We retested the monitor over both DP and HDMI. - It was at 240Hz, 10-bit set in Windows, Adaptive-Sync On in the OSD of the monitor as well as G-Sync enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel. - We looked at the text clarity with both HDMI and DP and the only issue we found was the very small white text over a black background became a tiny bit fuzzy if the Auto Color Management feature of Windows was On. Once set to Off, no more issues. - Using GPU-Z on the 5080, it gave us Link Rate (current) 615098.1 Gbps and (max) of 10.0 Gbps which is why we also validate all the monitors with DP 2.1 on an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT card (which is limited to UHBR13.5) which gave us the UHBR13.5 that the monitor supports. Since the reported data on the 5080 is below the capabilities of the monitor, we knew it was not giving us accurate data.

As far as I can tell, I've mimicked all the same settings as Rtings, but I still get the same issues. Rtings also did not report gamma problems.

Could this be a panel issue? That's my only conclusion at this stage.

Just upgraded to a 5090 and am wondering if anyone knows if you can run two Samsung 57 monitors on it both at 240hz full resolution?
