You are a life saver. Absolutely no brainer for a monitor this quality reduced from $1199 to $670

Awesome price. If anyone wants the G9 instead of the CRG9, it's $890, which is the cheapest it's been in a while. That one is 240Hz instead of 120, and 1000R curve instead of 1500R, meaning more of a curve
·
Comparison between CRG9 and G9 below. In case you are interested, I purchased a CRG9. My use case is 99% productivity, so it comes down to how aggressive of the curve that I prefer. Coming from a 3 x 27inch (2560x1440) setup, I think I will be fine with a CRG9 + a 27 inch (for sharing screen on zoom calls). I was also considering LG C2 42" OLED, I think I will stick with a traditional monitor for now for 1/2 the price of 42" OLED.

Quote from PhilP4485 For those of you who have no idea what VA panel is. Here's a short summary.

VA is the middle grade of panel quality for screens. TN is the worst, then comes VA and then comes IPS.

TN panels are mostly phased out by now so i won't discuss them. VA panels have well known issues such as edge light bleeding. This is where if you have a all black screen up, you can see some of the light on the edge of the screen leaking into the screen. It's not very attractive.
Those are the major complaints about VA. Some are also prone to dead pixels where you just see a single small dot that is pure black. That's a dead pixel!.

IPS essentially is the highest grade of panel, thus you won't get any of the light bleeding issues and dead pixels are less common.

Generally speaking, if you are using VA panels for work purposes it's totally fine.
Many people who really know their monitors will spend extra money for an IPS panel.

Personally, I have 2 IPS panels and 2 VA (34" ultra wide gigabyte) and they suite me well. While IPS is the best for gaming VA panels are great for work.

Last thing I would note is the resolution and refresh rates. The higher the refresh rate the worst. You'll see issues like ghosting ( when you drag a browser across the screen for example, you can slight trails). Also, don't buy 1080... unless it's dirt cheap and for work it's outdated. New Standard is now 2k and for larger displays, 4k.
Hope this helps the new folks wanted to learn more about panels.


Quote from jaybuk :
IPS is still susceptible to backlight bleed, and is notorious for IPS glow. VA has superior contrast compared to IPS. Essentially each panel has its pros and cons, I personally wouldn't call IPS superior like a lot of people.
Yeah, I think he/she made things up as they went along. Or heard it somewhere and took it as gospel. You can't just go by panel technology either, a great VA is better than a average IPS and vice versa.

Ymv… i had this for about a year and I think it contributed towards severe upper back / neck pain I'm still dealing with months later. Basically, if you use it as two 27" monitors where left or right ones are your primary, you're always looking towards one side which is not good for your neck. Not sure if you use it centered if the looking side to side all the time would also hurt your neck. I recommend at least getting quite a deep desk and monitor mount so you can make it as far away from you as possible

Looking at reviews and reddit: All g9 derivative models (G9, G9 Neo, CRG9) seem to have major quality control issues. This makes it a hard choice: The price is good if it's a good unit, but horrible if it's a problem one, and there are many problem ones.

Also, mixed reviews on Samsung customer service (most saying it sucks and returns are hard).

You can pick it up as Beat Buy and return it there. I did that, just in case there's an issue.

Quote from ForzaHawks :
For a non-gamer, and for someone who is looking for max business productivity when WFH (non-developer/non-video editor). Is the CRG9 the best bang for the buck? Compared to the G9.

Yeah best bang for the buck. The main reason I'm getting the G9 is the extra curvature, which I'm hoping will lead to less neck turning during the day so more ergonomic. The higher curve supposedly also reduces more glare. However those are very marginal differences compared to the CRG9 and probably not worth it for most. I'm just prone to headaches and neck pain, and I'm willing to spend an extra $250 over 3 years of daily use

Is this a good price for this monitor. Should I get the G9 instead? I am looking to use this at work and replace two 32 inch monitors.

Had the same issue with my normal Samsung account. Tried logging in with a second Samsung account I have with my school e-mail address and that one worked okay with the EDU discount. But I can't seem to get it to apply to my normal account with a non EDU email address. I need it on my normal account because I have some credits I want to use on that one.

Stretch for the G9, that curve will keep you diamonds.

49" is for productivity but it's missing a core feature. I wish it had USB-C with Power Delivery and a couple of USB ports for a KVM like setup. Without this feature it looks like a half baked product with an excellent panel.

Nice deal! I got this for around the same price from Gamestop at the end of April ($699 with 10% back in SD rewards). Very happy so far. Great for productivity. VESA mounting compatible. 99% SRGB coverage.
