I have 2 of these, they're a no brainer at this price. The curve is significantly less dramatic than the non OELD models, but the quality of them is so much better. They're also significantly thinner, lighter, easier to manage, and the stand is soooo much better.

Own this one. The smart features are very annoying and can't be shut off completely. I just wanted a monitor to turn on and shut off normally. Even worse i have a Samsung tv also in the room, and any power on or off on it triggers this oled to wake up from sleep mode or even power off mode. About a third of the time when starting up this will switch inputs and you have to put it back to PC. I've switched ever option I can find to off and even set it to not have the smart features enabled and it still does all this stuff. Get the lower model G93SC.

I've had the G95SC since Oct and it's really an amazing panel.
The only gripe I have is the "smart monitor" os causes issues. For example, I use a usb-c to hdmi adapter on my work laptop and with this monitor it causes an unending wake up, screensaver, sleep loop when my laptop is off. This is the only monitor I've ever had this kind of problem with. It also "detects" the kind of device you plug in and handles them differently in a way you can't control. If it decides you've plugged in a PC it renames the input "PC" in the software, so if you have two connected PCs you no longer have a way to confidently change inputs between them (auto switching doesn't work well). I also have an issue where BIOS/safe mode doesn't display. The monitor reports that the connected device is having issues and refuses to show the picture, I suspect it has something to do with the low resolution and I have to connect a portable monitor whenever I want to go into bios.
There's also no USB C power delivery, display over USB c or KVM support.
TL;DR the panel is amazing, the smart software is a headache that's worth avoiding if you can get the non smart version or a competing monitor using the same panel.

I have this monitor too and you can rename the input to whatever you want after it names them "PC" but sometimes it will annoyingly revert back to saying "PC". I changed the names to say HDMI and DP so I can tell what I'm switching to.
Another minor annoyance is the "quick menu" showing every time the monitor turns on which is completely unnecessary and impossible to turn off. So for 10-15 seconds I cannot see anything on my taskbar until I click back on the remote or wait it out.

You are right, I didn't mention it can be renamed because it resets so often lol If you are willing to buy a service remote and do some digging you can disable that "press x to activate game bar" pop-up that shows every single time you turn it on.

Oh nice didn't know about the service remote, it bothers me a little, but not enough I guess to go and buy a service remote to change it.
As long as I keep both sources plugged in, it hasn't been a big issue for me (desktop and a docking station for my laptop). But it resets sometimes when I unplug either side of the DP/HDMI cable.
All it needs is a software update, so I have hope they will resolve both of these little annoyances.
Don't buy these 49" monitors. I own one and while it's amazing you'll find that ultrawide support is a big problem for games. If I had the choice again I'd rather buy a OLED TV with a high refresh rate as a monitor instead of this.
I have this monitor and I love it, great for working at home, work laptop hooked up on one side 50% of the screen and personal computer on the other 50% of the screen. I first purchased the more expensive version, saw this model on sale and did a return/swap and have noticed no difference. I like the multi monitor management better on this less expensive model as well.
Been using this for a month now and game mode has a very bad issue running 240hz where the screen would go black for a few seconds at random. 120hz works flawlessly.
Great monitor otherwise.
