FWIW, a flash deal over the weekend from Microsoft Store had this monitor at $700, and the Odyssey Neo at $1150.

Time machines being still in the design phase, there is hope another retailer will mimic sometime during the holidays, but this is still solid if you missed out and want this one vs the Neo, and can take advantage of the EDU/MIL discount.

I don't think this is outlet price, but normal price instead. EDU/military discount ended up taking it down to $755 like you mentioned, though!

Was wondering if I should get it and at this price I'm definitely OK with the decision!

EDIT: PSA for all - This is showing up on the normal advertised link in the Samsung shop, no need for the app! You'll have to go to the cart page after you added the monitor for the price to show up (must have EDU/military discount as well). Thanks again OP for the find!

Damn this or the CRG9 which I already bought. The curvature on the G9 might be pretty rough. Right now the CRG9 fits me desk perfectly.

As a note the CRG9 works at 100hz in PBP mode.

The G9 works at 60hz in PBP and maybe some mods and custom settings to get it up to 120/144hz in PBP.

Hmmm… it might be worthwhile to just kept the CRG9 since I run almost exclusively in PBP mode.

I'm hoping for that $1150 Neo G9 deal again... *pray*

I just ordered 2 with .edu for 755 which is the edu limit. Installed app and went to outlet and ordered 3rd at 755. I've been kidding people that I was going to do this with my next build. Great price
I can't tell if you're trolling, but be prepared for it to only "work" in a very small handful of sims while being a buggy mess and still never going above 60fps on a 4090. MSFS and a couple racing sims are the only games I'm aware of that will even render at that ultra-ultra-ultra-ultrawide resolution, and it still crashes half the time. A few people on YouTube have tried it.

I was going to buy the CRG9 49 for $688, but decided to get this one for less than $70 more. I'll probably never take advantage of the 240hz, since I don't game.
deciding between the CRG9 or the this G9. I'm more concerned with the curvature, i think I prefer the 1800R curvature of the CRG9, I also don't game but more for photo/video, remote work use.

Bought one last year and absolutely happy with it! I was looking for a deal on the same monitor and got this! Fantastic! Ordered one! $742 + Tax = $796 something. Thanks OP!

possible to run this playing games like OW2 and Apex Legends with 240hz with a 3080? Also would centering the left side of the monitor in the middle of your desk to only game on half the screen be weird?

3080 is a beast, should have no issues gaming on this monitor with that, particularly as it supports VRR (FreeSync, G-Sync).

You could try to game in a window on the left side, but why? That sounds awful, and you'll miss out on the awesome field of view and increased awareness/immersion that this monitor offers.

Thank you for the info! I was wondering about how PBP differs between these two, as well as how the curvature feels. It appears that the local dimming on the G9 is even worse than the local dimming on the CRG9 (which already isn't great). The CRG9 is also apparently brighter in SDR.

I'm currently learning towards the CRG9, and my intended use is to replace my three-monitor work-from-home setup (mostly spreadsheets and documents) while also providing a good canvas for gaming. Do you have any more thoughts to offer on that?
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/to...shold=0.10
For work from home, go with the CRG9. The G9 is better for gaming, but doesn't really add anything for productivity work. I don't think the local dimming is worse, but it's not better either - both kind of suck at local dimming and black levels. The newer Neo G9 actually has good local dimming and black levels, but it's a lot more.

Though, honestly, I'd stick with three separate monitors for work - I find being able to quickly maximize windows to fill a screen, or snap them to the left and right of a screen, very useful. On the CRG9/G9 the maximizing fills the whole monitor, which is rarely ideal, and snapping is limited to the left half and right half. I find easily being able to throw 3-6 applications up at once without having to drag and resize much more useful.

I think the CRG9/G9/Neo G9 shine as gaming monitors, where the Neo G9 > G9 > CRG9.
