Just picked it up for less directly through Samsung with the education discount and additional coupon. Picked it up same day at Best buy, and it's 24 months interest free through Samsung credit (which is great for students).

Where? It's been close to $1000 a couple of times if you can get the EDU discount on Samsung's website. This is the best price that's actually available to everyone in quite some time.

With edu you can get close to $900. Not recommend to buy above $1000

Have it great monitor, but can be had for cheaper. Also if you buying it with work in mind - don't. Gorgeous display, but software is not great for productivity. Also, no usb-c PD, awkward second hdmi, weired remote etc.
Other wise gorgeous if you use it for gaming only.

This monitor has been a fantastic addition to my work setup, effectively replacing my previous dual 27-inch monitor configuration. While some initial tweaking of the ClearType settings was necessary to achieve optimal sharpness, the overall experience has been nothing short of excellent. I have mine connected to a desktop computer via DisplayPort, but I believe it would work equally well with a laptop and docking station. The absence of USB-C with Power Delivery (PD) isn't a concern for me, as it's not a feature I prioritize when selecting a monitor. It's also worth noting that the monitor comes with a wireless remote, contrary to the claim of it being wired. If you're in the market for a new monitor, I hope this review proves helpful in your decision-making process.

G93S was $1099 w a $100 coupon (so $999) on amazon twice in the past 2 months. G93S is G95S without the TV OS. I recall the G95S went down to $800/900(?) on Samsung sometime last year...

Meant weird, not wired. Google just autocorrected it.
I also use it for work, but compared to the LG counterpart, this one is severely lacking imo. In LG you can have 2 sources PiP or PbP. On this one you can't have 2 PC at the same time.
You can't switch inputs on the fly. The remote has Netflix, Amazon and all the BS buttons but no dedicated Input button. In order to change the input you need a bunch of click in the menu. Usb-c is also huge inconvenience, that most monitors in that price range have it. I mitigate the lack of it with extra usb-c docking station... If you work and go in meetings being able to connect and disconnect your laptop with single cable is huge convenience.
Also no display port via usb-c, so you need to use the dp or HDMI port.
I am not saying you can't use it for work, I am just saying it's lacking many convenient features the usual work monitors would have. This monitor is clearly designed for gaming, where you plug your PC once and you don't change it. Netflix and Smart apps look bad imo, with huge black stripes on both sides, so kinda wasted space.Why buy 49" to watch Netflix if you are seeing it on 27" space anyway?!
And lastly I paid around $800, which imo was a fair price for what it offers, half a year ago. I personally don't see $1100 as a slick deal.

Been eyeing this monitor for a while for work and occasional gaming. Is there a guide on what tweaks you needed to make for text? I keep reading some say to avoid this for productivity work and then others say it's great.

This monitor makes me sad. So much potential lost to software and a terrible remote. OLED Panel and build quality is a 10. Software is a 1.

1-To use split screen (multiview) you must be connected to the Internet..ok? Why?
2-split screen is not a 1 click operation. Multiple clicks and setup. Oh nice you can name inputs that makes things easy. Well guess what if you unplug a port and plug it in, it gets renamed back to "pc". So while trying to split screen you are clicking multiple inputs labeled "pc".
3-remote is useless for me, no dedicated input button and a bunch of others like netflix that I never used. Only buttons I used was power and home.
4-Random black screens (lasting 10 seconds) while gaming (using original wires @240hz) no issues with other monitors using my pc.

Issues stayed with latest firmware updates. Only customer for this that makes sense to me is a content creator with 1 pc. Gaming I had issues (black screens) daily and work I had issues with split screens (multiview) daily.

After using for 5 months I sold it. Never again!

While I can see where you're coming from with your gripes about the Samsung Odyssey monitor, it seems like you might be in the minority here. For those of us who just want to hook up our PC and get on with our lives, this monitor is actually pretty great!
Not everyone needs a monitor that caters to the niche multi-input, split-screen setup you were going for. And frankly, who really uses all those bells and whistles on the remote anyway? I just need the thing to turn on and off.
So while your review is a valuable cautionary tale for the select few who want to use this monitor the way you did, for the rest of us, the Samsung Odyssey is still a solid choice. Just saying!
