Samsung Odyssey OLED G93SC: What Real Users Actually Think

Pretty good price, not all time low, but not bad either. The only thing stopping me is samsung's non commital attitude toward burn in warranty coverage.

I wish there was a way to make Samsung's other monitors not smart. The features work like garbage. This is the same as my current monitor, except I have the 'smart' features. The smart features are my biggest qualms, so maybe this one will be better.

I bought the G93SC on pre-order as I don't see any advantage of having the gaming hub and those smart features on a monitor since I'll already have my computer hooked up to it and also I believe it will contribute to burn in since the hub is I believe 21:9 aspect ratio instead of the 32:9 capable of the monitor so it will have black bars at the sides, while being a lot cheaper.

Known to break often, this is a defective product line. Don't buy it for anything other than a deep deep discount with a warranty.

I've had 0 issues with mine almost 10 months on. Have had a blast and the smart functionality is really not that much of an issue. Especially if you already have a Samsung account due to a phone. Bit overblown in my opinion. Just get whichever is the cheaper deal at the time.

I've had mine for almost a year with the only issues being the built-in speakers are pretty bad and the wake-up issues when I connect it using DisplayPort, but that seems to happen with both the G9 models. Overall, I think it's great choice especially if you can get it @ $800-$900.

I also have the G93sc as I dont need the extra stuff g95sc has to offer. Really happy with it so far. But why on earth hasn't LG come up with a 49 inch oled yet? Doesn't seem to come very soon either. I have always been a fan of LG, but I have to say that the G9 is excellent.

As someone who owns the G95SC, I would highly recommend the G93SC over it. The UI on the G95 is literally copy pasta'd from Samsung's TVs, and it makes changing basic settings a huge pain in the ass. It's slow, laggy, and has stupid smart features that don't even let you use the damn monitor as a monitor without creating a Samsung account and having an internet connection. Wish they would have had the G93SC available at launch, as I'd do anything to go back to a basic monitor UI that is quickly accessible.

I went through 3 screens in my first year of warranty. Other than that, I absolutely love the screen.

Samsung QD OLED do not have anywhere close to the QC issues as the mini led's and they are substantially more lightweight. This monitor is one of the greats IMHO for a hybrid gaming / productivity setup.

No issues, real Vesa DP cable fixed flickering that stock cables had, firmware last year fixed my random black screens. No burn in, and I play games for hours past when it wants to do a panel care cycle. Only been using HDR for the past year after finally getting the settings right.

A year in and loving it. No issues so far.

Had mine over 2 years and use it daily for work. No burn in or any issues that I can see.

I have the G95SC and after about a year and a half it's still perfection. Not a hint of burn-in. No dead pixels. Everything crispy, sharp, colorful and dynamic.

I have a transparent windows taskbar from an app from the windows store. I have my screen turn off after 2min. I have about 30-35 wallpapers that change every min on my desktop. Other than that make sure all OLED panel care settings are on and high.

My old 32" towers over my G9 since the latter is equivalent to two 27" side by side. Love them both to death.

Samsung QC... leaves a lot to be desired. If you get a good unit their premium double wide monitors are a great experience, but overall Samsung monitors have a high defect rate. I went through a few G9 normal monitors before I got one that I was satisfied with (dead pixels and other issues), but it has been great since. I tried an OLED G9, but the VESA mounting points internally were not aligned correctly, making it physically impossible to put it on a monitor arm instead of the stock stand.

I've had mine for almost 2 years and it's still going strong. No burn in or dead pixels.

Perfect monitor! I've had it for a year with zero issues.

I'm 2 years in December total 7723 panel hours and I've just noticed burn in for the first time might be a static image from being on excel all day but I'm on excel almost every day for work. Hoping I wake up in the morning and the optimisation has ran!

I set it up yesterday, and I'm pretty blown away in the level of quality. If you plan to double down on this monitor as a tv from a different pov like a couch or something in the same room, I can see the benefit in the extra features, but I really don't think it's $200 in value. All of these things are replaceable to an extent.

I got myself the g93c after realizing that the only real difference is the smart feature. The real factor was that I didn't want to risk burn ins due to using the smart feature to watch stuff.

Still great I use it daily…. There are some quirks and I hate the smart tv function but other than that it is awesome. Very nice picture… occasionally I run into games that force black bars like PoW2 and Silksong but it's not bad since it's OLED.

I know your question is referring to the 93sc but stay away from the 95sc. I returned mine yesterday after owning for two weeks, for my experience the cons outweighed the pros. Screen was absolutely beautiful, exterior looked amazing, colors were nice (first oled) for SDR, glossy screen. But: requires you to sign in to use the PBP mode, filled with bloatware, screen flickering and scan lines.

I have this monitor but on my situation it might be different, I'm not scared of burn in due to having a 4 year replacement plan from bestbuy. OLED has been around and these new gen oled doesn't get burn in that easily. Plus when you turn the monitor off or sleep, a pixel shift happens automatically. So no worries on that end.

I bought the G95SC. The 'TV' OS part of it is invasive and was a complete eyesore when switching inputs. I bought the service remote and turned that crap off. I'm also using optical HDMI and DP cables and the picture is fantastic. But yeah…were it not for the service remote hack, I would have considered returning the monitor.

My G93SC developed a stuck pixel yesterday. It's only 3 weeks old. Amazon won't exchange it. They'll only accept a return and issue a refund. It was $999 when I bought it, and now it's $1387, and I can't find a G93 anywhere else. So if I want a replacement, I have to pay an extra $387 for the privilege of having a defective product.

I have occasional issues where it will stop recognizing the DisplayPort output from my graphics card and just decide it should turn off. Unplugging and replugging the DisplayPort cable fixes it. No burn in and love it other than that small issue.

Most of the G9 lineup has been absolutely atrocious with too many people having to reach out to Samsung for some awful customer service interactions. I avoid most if not all Samsung products for this reason.

Bought a G93SC as well - couldn't resist the Amazon Labor Day deal. Was thinking about the LG 45 5K2K, but the price is high for 165hz, and I couldn't imagine using the dual mode resolution. Time to say bye to the Alienware 34" - 7 years of near perfect operation.

I haven't had a single issue with the G93SC. It just worked out of the box, both Displayport and HDMI work perfectly. And the menus are very responsive and easy to use like any other typical Samsung monitor.

Great monitor, but get a warranty. After my 1 year limited warranty expired about 2 months later all inputs would no longer work, after about 1 3/4 year my panel went white and stopped working. Both times Samsung eventually agreed to come out and fix it, but I needed to pay for labor. This was ~$200 both times, but they did at least agree to cover parts.

Nah this monitor SUCKSSSS… I regret buying but I spent too much money to just not use it.

I've only had mine for 1.5 months, and bought an add-on warranty because of the concerns. There is a spot in the back above the power input that hits ~40 C. I use longer cables (8-10ft) and find the hdmi occasionally flickers at 240Hz, so I'm using a 10-foot DP which appears to be stable. The quality of the HDR picture is slightly better than the new 45" LG Ultragears.

I've had mine for 13 months, no degradation. However the KVM functionality has been a recurring issue. No KVM I have found can handle native resolution with 120hz and EDID, and the built-in system is annoying: if the 'active' source goes to sleep, all sources get disconnected. Other than that it's been great.

I have had mine for almost a month. The 32:9 aspect ratio is amazing for gaming. It's true that many games don't support 32:9 natively but there are many fixes available online with pretty simple instructions to apply. If you're comfortable with that, I highly recommend getting it!

I also have the G93C and it is an awesome monitor, didn't see the point in getting the G95SC for its smart capabilities. I have a tv for that lol.

I have the G95SC and for the most part, the Tizen interface and processor are not needed when you mostly use it on a PC and can use web browsers for streaming. Also Samsung QC is generally bad for its monitors. I had a Neo G9 with massive overheating from the center of the screen and this appears also for the G95SC. the center of the screen gets burning hot as does the bottom of the monitor along the silver metal edge. For the OLED G9, I believe this is contributed to by the extra 'features'.

I bought this the last time it was this price, and am very happy. However it did cost me an extra 600 because it was so nice that I felt the need to upgrade my graphics card to really enjoy spreading managed democracy.

I did pretty much exactly that (went from 3x27 to G9). Previously had 3x 1440p 27" monitors with a 144hz gsync center screen for gaming and 60hz IPS screens on the sides for better colors. When I got the G9 OLED I thought I'd keep one old monitor plugged in for the same total screen resolution but I never used it so I've downsized to the G9 alone. The G9 has a pretty nice UI for auto sizing windows in various layouts which takes care of multitasking. And obviously games that go full screen on this thing are incredible.

You can buy from Samsung store directly. I got one, Touchwood zero issues. My old cheap HDMI cable worked just fine with MBP14 M3Pro and 4090 at full res 240hz. No flickering etc at all. A very solid monitor for me.

There is no flickering problem. It's been running smooth. I used to use DisplayPort but that was causing some issues, so I switched to HDMI 2.1.

I see so many negative reviews online. I was able to get mine for like $1,100 on sale on Amazon one week. Couldn't be happier I pulled the trigger. Most games I've played except overwatch and maybe one other support 32:9. I do wanna get a colorimeter just to make sure everything is dialed in but so far, it's mind blowing. My first experience with ultrawide and oled both so it's been a treat for me personally.
