The reported flaw with a displayport cable is a deal-killer for me (goes to sleep and requires a PC reset), certainly for such an expensive monitor.

I got the 49" OLED G9 for an insane deal a week or two ago ($800). Only thing that has me annoyed is that it sometimes doesn't wake from sleep correctly. I was told this was fixed with a firmware update. This was wrong.

For me in Linux I just have to wait for the computer to turn the screen off again (like 20 seconds) before I jam on the keyboard and it wakes up. Annoying, but I'll get over it.

I was told that all you need to do is turn the monitor back on. Not saying that is okay, but not restart the PC.

Wow! How were you able to get this monitor for 800 USD?

Im looking at this for a productivity monitor but it looks like text is kind of blurry. IPS remains the kind if you need clear text.

I had this issue when I initially got the monitor, however it just randomly stopped... As far as I know, I haven't updated any firmware and configuration is still the same (DP to my 3080).

Fellow SDE here, all of my research points to no on any kind of OLED monitor for productivity. Even more-so if you consistently work with multiple static windows in split. Good chance you develop noticeable burn-in within 6-12 months, even if you employ a whole suite of burn-in prevention techniques.

The text clarity on these 1st-gen QD-OLED panels is also poor due to the sub-pixel layout. Samsung made improvements in burn-in and text clarity with their 2nd gen OLED products, but have only released that tech in their 49" G9. You won't see that for at least another 6 months, maybe upwards a year released in a 34" monitor. Even then the technology may still be inappropriate for majority productivity users.

You're better off with an IPS monitor. LG has some solid offerings in that category that I personally have been eyeing myself.

They are so incredibly similar. I highly recommend rtings as a review website. Biggest reason to get Samsung over Dell is console compatibility. If you don't care about that, or don't care about 4K on console or HDR on console (in my experience doesn't matter) then just go for the cheapest one OR whichever you find most aesthetically pleasing.

this is true, I just sold the neo g9 due to this issue and got the oled hoping the issue would no be present.. samsung needs to own up to this.
