I'm not discounting your experience but this is clearly not a common issue - one that screams don't buy under any circumstance. Just on Best Buy there are over 1000 reviews with a 4.3 out of 5 rating. It is a guarantee that every person who bought this monitor and had the experience you did within a few hours would write a nasty review. That isn't happening.

I'm sure that SOME people have issues but with a monitor where north of 85% of the buyers are reporting a great experience I think your review is a little hyperbolic.

I got this monitor awhile back on Amazon and returned them because the screen is known to get burnt in very easily. I used this for split screen for only a few hours and had permanent and very noticeable burn in lines. I switched to alienware DWF 34" and tested the same thing and did not get any burnt it.

Community Reviews

The Odyssey OLED G9 stands out as a huge 49 inch ultrawide with stunning OLED colors, strong multitasking, and a glossy finish that some prefer over matte. The smart features, remote, and software input switching add convenience, and several long term owners report no burn in or image retention after heavy gaming or office use. The main concerns are black screen cutouts, occasional panel failures, and Samsung support that can be slow or frustrating. Text can look less crisp than IPS, and the smart TV style software is not for everyone, making it a powerful but finicky ultrawide.

Common Questions (5)

  • Burn-in can happen on OLEDs, but several long-term owners report no burn-in after 1.5 to 2+ years of gaming or office use. The practical protection steps mentioned are dark mode, a short screen-off timer, and letting the monitor run its built-in panel protection and firmware updates.

    PurpleSoda817knowyouronionhax0rwax0raz060693

  • Some units can randomly cut to a black screen or show no signal, especially early on. Reported fixes include using the correct HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort cable, updating firmware, disabling Adaptive Sync, and turning Peak Brightness Off; a few units still keep the issue despite cable swaps.

    esy1219hax0rwax0rSociableCreator8472az060693

  • The built-in smart TV software is a common complaint and can be annoying for people who want a simple monitor. It can also interfere with normal use, including alt-tabbing or input switching, though some owners like the remote and software-based input switching.

  • Open Box Excellent units can be missing items like the remote, wall-mount adapter, stand screws, and DisplayPort cable. Checking the box before leaving the store can prevent a return, and some open-box units have been found sealed with all accessories still included.

    SociableCreator8472mnrivera210NIKO_SUAV3

  • Reported open-box prices range from about $581 to about $740 out the door with tax, depending on condition and store. One buyer paid about $600 after tax on Amazon, while others found Best Buy open-box units for $581 or around $740 with tax.

I looked it up and it looks like it's just an issue with display port and needs hdmi 2.1? Something I'm missing?

I currently have this monitor. I had issues with the random black screen here and there at the beginning, but i "think" the updates fixed this issue. I can't recommend this monitor due to the stupid software built in. I prefer a simple monitor to use as a regular monitor without those tv features. Some might prefer the features, but personally, it gets annoying.

These are buggy monitors, I bought mine direct from Samsung six months ago and it's a dead screen now, even though devices detect it. Samsung support is the worst I've ever dealt with, sending me round in circles. They are replacing it but it's been two weeks and ETA is two more. I'll stick with PC brands for monitors in the future.

Burn in does not happen over the course of a few hours. More likely image retention which is not the same as burn in.

simple trick

buy samsung open box monitor from bestbuy for dirt cheap

add their 3 years extended protection plan

any issue happened within that 3 years, bring it to their nerd squad for service

they tell you a week later they can't fix it or exceed the cost of replacement, you get full money back




rinse and repeat, they encourage it. honestly if no issue happened after 3 years i doubt you gonna get one going onward, if it happened then its time for upgrade
