Introduction
This video is a review of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 monitor. The reviewer, having personally purchased and used the monitor, ultimately advises against its purchase due to several significant issues encountered.
Key Takeaways
Random Black Screen Issues: The monitor experienced random black screens, unrelated to overheating, despite attempts to troubleshoot with different cables, PCs, and operating systems.
Overheating Problems: During extended gaming sessions (1.5-2 hours), the monitor overheated, causing the panel to shut down. The metal back of the monitor becomes extremely hot.
Problematic OS: The built-in smart TV-like OS controls inputs and causes issues when changing resolutions in games. The OS also produced graphical glitches, flickering, and offset resolutions.
Poor Customer Service: The reviewer describes Samsung's customer service as the worst they have ever experienced, citing a lengthy and disjointed process for resolving issues. The reviewer was eventually able to return the monitor outside of the standard return period.
Recommendation: While the reviewer praises Samsung's QD OLED technology, they strongly recommend purchasing QD OLED monitors from other brands (like Alienware or Corsair) due to the significant issues encountered with the Samsung-manufactured monitor and its OS.
