![]() The stand is a chunky with a 360mm wide silver metal foot, that provides a sturdy and stable base for the large screen. It still gives you a nice immersive feeling and brings the edges a bit closer to you which is very useful for such a wide screen, but without being overly curved and distorting the image too much. The screen has a subtle 1800R curvature, something we prefer to the aggressive 1000R curvature of some of Samsung’s older monitors, including the Odyssey G9 LCD offerings. You can see that the screen has a very wide panel, make sure you have ample room on your desk as it really is a beast! The bottom edge has a thicker dark grey glossy bezel as well, taking the total border to ~22mm along that side. There is a thin 2mm silver plastic edge around all sides, then a black panel border that takes the total edge around the top and sides to ~12mm. The screen comes in a black and silver design with a very thin form factor thanks to the OLED panel and a big and chunky stand to support the super ultrawide screen.

We’ll put the screen through all our usual tests and see how the screen performs. The G95SC also includes a range of Smart TV features and functions, extending its capabilities beyond a normal PC monitor. Oddly Samsung don’t list a peak brightness spec for HDR on their product pages, but we will of course test that later anyway. It’s very well suited to HDR content as a result and includes certification under the VESA ‘DisplayHDR 400 True Black’ scheme, not to be confused with the lowly HDR 400 scheme for LCD’s. ![]() Being an OLED panel it also offers pixel level dimming with true blacks, near infinite contrast ratio and no blooming or halos during usage. ![]() There’s also a 0.03ms G2G rated response time thanks to the OLED panel’s near instant response times. It includes certification under AMD’s ‘FreeSync Premium Pro’ scheme too. It’s also got a 240Hz refresh rate which is supported by adaptive-sync for variable refresh rates from compatible NVIDIA and AMD systems. The screen has a fairly subtle 1800R curvature, not quite as aggressive as their previous G9 LCD monitors which have a far more aggressive 1000R curvature. It’s built around a Samsung QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel like all the 34” ultrawide OLED monitors are currently, and has a 5120 x 1440 resolution, the equivalent of two 1440p monitors joined together. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G95SC (sometimes shortened to “Odyssey OLED G9″) is a 49″ sized screen with a super ultrawide 32:9 aspect ratio. There’s been something for everyone really, but now Samsung are entering the market with a new OLED monitor format. We’ve reviewed 34″ ultrawide models like the Dell Alienware AW3423DW, 27″ 1440p models like the LG 27GR95QE and Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM, 45″ curved and bendable ultrawides like the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 and even large format 42″ 4K TV-sized displays like the LG 42C3 (latest 2023 model), Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ and KTC G42P5. OLED monitors have taken off in a big way over the last year or so and we’ve finally seen a range of different sized options appear in the monitor market. ![]()
