Samsung C49G95TSSU LED 49IN ODYSSEY

Product Information

At 240Hz, input lag amounts to only ~3ms, which results in imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen. However, it’s only noticeable with fast-moving objects in really dark scenes – if you’re deliberately looking for it. The Samsung Odyssey G9 offers an incredible viewing and gaming experience thanks to its gigantic screen size with a steep 1000R curvature. The pixel load was enough that ou r GeForce RTX 3090 couldn’t quite max the framerate at 240 frames per second (fps) but stayed around 200 fps, more than enough to keep action smooth. We noticed that with Adaptive-Sync on, overdrive became grayed out. We didn’t miss it though, because there were no trails behind moving objects. Motion blur was visually non-existent. We made use of the aiming points from the Game menu but missed a frame counter. FRAPS had to be engaged to monitor our play speeds.

So, you won’t be bothered by it unless you’re a professional FPS gamer, in which case you should be getting a smaller and faster display anyway. Samsung’s Odyssey G7 and G9 monitors are the first VA-panel displays with a quoted 1ms GtG (gray to gray pixel transition) response time speed. is really curved. But the G9 is so wide that image distortion isn’t a problem. When working, documents are at or near the screen’s center. We couldn’t perceive any distractions there. However, you can’t use FreeSync/G-SYNC or HDR in the PbP mode, and you’ll be limited to 120Hz if you have the 1006.2 firmware or newer. While FreeSync/G-SYNC is enabled, you cannot change the response time overdrive mode, but the pixel transition performance is consistent across the entire refresh rate range.

You’ll also find various pre-calibrated picture modes, including FPS, RTS, RPG, AOC, sRGB, and High Bright (for maximum brightness). Moving on, the Samsung C49G95T monitor features a QDEF (quantum dot enhanced film) layer, which is responsible for its wide color gamut and strong peak brightness. The Samsung C49G95T boasts a futuristic design with a glossy white chassis, robust build, and decent ergonomics, including up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 15° swivel, and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. Note that you cannot enable local dimming for SDR content. You can either disable it completely or set it to ‘Auto’ which will enable local dimming whenever HDR content is detected.

The system menu has the rest of the monitor’s convenience options and the local dimming option. Auto works well for both SDR and HDR content and leaves brightness available so you can set the peak output anywhere you wish. Dynamic Contrast is also effective with two levels of aggressiveness. Standard leaves the brightness adjuster available, while Ultimate grays it out and displays a very bright and contrasty image.

The 49-inch Odyssey G9 is on another level.

The Adaptive-Sync technology is supported, which provides a variable refresh rate (VRR) for compatible graphics cards. It’s factory-calibrated and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space (125% sRGB, 92% Adobe RGB) with 10-bit color depth support for 1.07 billion colors. Unlike the Odyssey G7 models, the Samsung C49G95T doesn’t support Motion Blur Reduction, which could further decrease ghosting at the cost of picture brightness and variable refresh rate, but it’s not necessary either. The Samsung Odyssey G9 is based on a 48.8″ VA panel with a 5120×1440 Dual Quad HD resolution, which results in roughly 109 pixels per inch. Basically, you get two 27″ 1440p monitors side by side, without the bezels in-between. Of course, if the Samsung G9 had a full-array local dimming solution, it would also be significantly more expensive.

We also recommend leaving the Dynamic Brightness option at ‘Off.’ These features automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the content on the screen, which can cause brightness fluctuations. Design & Connectivity The extra horizontal screen space of the 32:9 super-ultrawide aspect ratio is also very useful for productivity work, video editing, and gaming, but not all games support this format natively. The screen has a matte anti-glare screen coating, which eliminates reflections while the aggressive 1000R curvature matches the curvature of the human eye for a more immersive viewing and gaming experience.The monitor also supports local dimming, but since there are only ten dimming zones spread across its gigantic 49″ sized screen, it’s not particularly effective.
