Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD) review: the super-ultrawide, done right
A 49-inch 240Hz QD-OLED with a matte coating that fixes OLED’s worst desk problem. Our score: 8.5 / 10 A lot of monitor The Odyssey OLED G9 is 49 inches, 32:9, 5120x1440, at 240Hz. The 2024 model’s key change is a matte "OLED Glare Free" finish that kills the mirror-like reflections earlier QD-OLED panels suffered from under room lighting. The requirements It needs a deep desk, a capable GPU to drive that resolution at high frame rates, and games that support 32:9. When all three line up, it is spectacular for both immersive gaming and multi-window productivity. The good and the bad What works Matte coating solves QD-OLED reflections 240Hz at 5120x1440 Enormous productivity real estate Perfect OLED contrast What doesn’t Needs a big desk and a strong GPU Not every game supports 32:9 Expensive Who it’s for Buy it if you want one screen that replaces a dual-monitor setup and doubles as an immersive gaming display. Skip it if your desk or GPU cannot accommodate it, or you mostly play games without ultrawide support. Alternatives worth a look LG UltraGear OLED 45 (2025), 21:9, easier to drive. Dell U4025QW, 40-inch, IPS, productivity-focused. The verdict: The best super-ultrawide yet, now that the reflections are handled, if your setup can take it. Sources Samsung
