Just an FYI for who work more than they game, the 38" IPS version for the same price is a better all-purpose option. No burn-in worries, sharper text, more screen.
This rates as the best gaming monitor on rtings and I think 1800r curve at 49 inches is just too little of a curve on the Samsung. The other Odyssey options are 1000r but not the OLED 49 incher unfortunately.

1800r with a smaller monitor (this one) makes more sense for a PC gamer imo. Optimal viewing distance of a 49 inch 1800r is nearly 6 feet, which isn't practical
This one is way Superior for gaming. The Costco 49 inch is not OLED and it's better to use as a work monitor emulating three screens of my opinion. though I'd recommend the G9 variant which is often on sale in the low 900s

It includes DisplayPort. If you're pc gaming, you're using DisplayPort, right?

For consoles, they can only support 16:9 anyways, which would be 1440p 120hz, right?

Had this monitor but returned it as I didn't like the stand that it came with. Also was coming from a dark matter 49 so I guess I didn't get used to the smaller size. You also have to do a custom resolution to enable 10 bit colors at 165hz so it's not out of the box.

I got the g9 OLED from the edu deal and it's a better monitor to me. Has HDMI 2.1 and can enable 12bit colors at 240hz HDR out of the box, if that matters to you.

Really dumb of Dell to do that. Both MSI 342C and G8 OLED using this same exact panel has it, not sure why Dell doesn't.

I could live with the nerfed specs for the sale price, but there's this extremely irritating high pitched noise coming from my DWF, so both of my DWF's are going back to Dell.

One year with mine about. Hands down, the best computer purchase I've ever made.

I work hybrid schedule office/home and game some at night. I run it at HDR1000 or HRD True Black depending on my mood for brightness. It does its refresh during downtime.

The image quality is simply stunning.

HDMI 2.1 is 12-bit. These OLED monitors are at 10-bit max. That's why they skip the input altogether.

Got mine a few months ago and I love it. Beautiful color and perfect blacks make for the best looking HDR gaming I've ever seen. Worth it for something I look at for hours everyday.

Wow, I've never seen you post a question but have been on the receiving end of your deals. Thank you for all the posts you've provided.

As to your question, it's a matter of preference. Personally, I've had this 34" oled monitor, and I currently have the G9 (got the $804 SD that was recently posted). I personally actually prefer this 34" oled. The 49" to my eyes is too much, but I'm sure many would prefer it. I'm debating currently on what to do, as I'll need to either return the Samsung, or sell it private party.

Thank you for the kind words, I was one of the most avid posters and helped build the forums during the last decade or so. I organically found some of the hottest deals and notable gems that I shared to the SD community. Miss the ole days of true deals on the FP. I still follow SD and will always be a part of my journey
