Review on 48.9" Monitor Samsung C49G95TSSI, 5120x1440, 240Hz, *VA, white/black by Adam Czajkowski ᠌
The product is unreliable, it is not worth buying.
A monitor that is beautiful on the outside and ugly on the inside. Think 10 times before you buy it. The number of problems just rolls over if you take this line (what is r9, what is neo, what is r7). What I encountered: 1) On the first g9 there is dust inside the matrix. I barely managed to return it, if I had taken it from networkers I would have lost at least a month for their "expertise" 2) On the replacement g9: without flashing the GPU bios (I have an asus 3080 ti), the 240 hertz mode simply puts the monitor into sleep mode. By the way, the BIOS firmware of the video card automatically removes it from the warranty, so this is a fat minus when the monitor out of the box simply does not work as it is presented in the advertisement and you need to additionally screw something up. 3) In native resolution, when combined with white and dark blue, the wildest pixel walk appears. The whole matrix goes crazy and the image on the monitor starts to flicker, the monitor changes brightness and the matrix becomes covered with dark stripes (by the way, this problem is very common, the entire reddit is littered with topics with it, as it turned out during operation). Partially solved by switching manually to 120 hertz, but flickering does not fix. 4) Gsink is here for show. It is impossible to disable the adaptive sync for 240 hertz. 5) Out of the box at 240 hertz, the monitor does not pass any pixel uniformity test normally. Partially solved the issue due to scaling in Windows itself, at least flickering in the content has ceased to appear so often. 6) For 240 hertz, it is impossible to programmatically lower the resolution to 144 in any way. The monitor has only 2 hardware options: 120 or 240 (I don’t consider 60, for such money advice to work with the monitor via hdmi from technical support is just a mockery). Problems with the 240Hz mod arise precisely from the fact that the bandwidth of DP 1.4 will pull this resolution only on video cards with DSC. A strange floating issue that occurs when viewing black on white on one half is changing the colors horizontally on the other half. Little things like not the most uniform illumination and visible paths along the edges.
- Cool diagonal. 49' UW is a great replacement for a 2 monitor setup.
- For this money and positioning as a HIGH END product is disgusting. A wow effect that disappears very quickly when an expensive monitor starts to behave like a budget garbage that needs to be finished with a file.
