Samsung Odyssey G9 two years later - why it's still awesome (super ultrawide is epic)
3,231This is my thoughts and feelings on the Samsung Odyssey G9 after two years of use. This is still my favourite monitor and I want to talk about why, by showing off the gameplay and talking about the highlights and uses of the monitor over time.
In this video, I'm taking a look at the Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor and showing why it's still one of the best gaming monitors out there!
The Samsung Odyssey G9 is still one of the best monitors with a super wide screen and great features, it's perfect for any gamer. Plus, it's still stylish and sleek even though there are newer models available! So if you're looking for a great gaming monitor, the Odyssey G9 is definitely worth checking out! Its specs are high end and you'll need a good PC to run it as a result. But it's worth it.

Downsides of the monitor from what I've seen:
- HDR mode can be a PITA and problematic with some games
- If you have two DP cables plugged in adaptive sync can cause Windows to think there are two screens
