  • Sorry is this a good monitor? Have just bought it on the previous deal (GOV account) at $1500+ but now have to renovate home office as I didn't realise you need to be 75cm away from the monitor to use it.

    Also given that I only do spread sheets and the occasional video on it got lots of comments about perhaps buying something cheaper/smaller.

    • its "good".
      Honestly, avg bear does not need a 49" oled
      i've got 2x 27" oled and my partner has the 49
      the 49 is an overkill

      If you are only doing spreadsheets then an OLED monitor is just asking for trouble.

      • What should you look for instead, for spreadsheets/documents, and never going to be used for gaming?

    • For spreadsheet the vertical resolution of a 4k is nice… Don't need, or really want, OLED. A 5k2k would be nice…

      • I got the Kogan 40" 5k2k 75hz monitor for $550 for office work and it has been pretty good. Only issue is that brightness is a bit low at 350nits. Considering the only other alternatives with that resolution are a rip off 2k it was a good deal. The high PPI works well with my Mac

        For spreadsheets the 32:9 ratio is great at finding where people have hidden their hardcoded assumptions/commentary in column AZ and beyond.

      I have the previous model G95SC (LS49CG954SEXXY) and have been using it at my home office for over 2 years now. I use it for work (spreadsheets) during the day time (5 days) and game with it during the night time (7 days). If you have a table with a depth of 70-80cm, you should be able to sit at a comfortable distance. If you cannot squeeze enough depth, mount the monitor on an arm to get it to the rear of the table edge. Another hack is you could rotate the arm beyond the rear table edge although you need to back out the table from the wall. Also make sure to stablise the table since the centre of gravity has changed. Another idea is to mount the monitor on a static stand and then adjust the table so you have a good distance. 49" 32:9 is just 2x 27" 16:9 put side by side. It shouldn't be too difficult. 42" 16:9 is where the problem becomes more apparent.

      Originally I was concerned about panel longevity while using it for spreadsheets since the sheets are white. So far I haven't seen any issues with burn in. After a year, I don't even think about it anymore. I do put the monitor on standby (via remote) when I get out of the home office or logging off for the day. I think Samsung do its own panel care during the night or something. Panel brightness is plenty bright even in a bright room (window behind me). I haven't notice any loss of brightness especially after a long pixel maintenance program.

      Just practice the usual care like switching everything to dark mode and minimising the taskbar. On my work computer, I still have all the icons and files on the desktop. I haven't seen any burn in. My email application is always on the left window with the same static menu objects. No issues. During the first year, I always check for burn in against different shades of grey background. No burn in. After a while, I stop worrying about it. With the work I have done with it, it should ROI pretty soon.

    I would hold for the new tech oled announced in CES last week

    If used for gaming remember that some games will have horrible UI and in game alerts will be out on the edges and likely to be missed.

    Otherwise I imagine it's fantastic for Sim racing/flying/immersive games.

  • Not sure if the G95SD has improved over the previous model, I experienced flickering on parts of the screen especially with in game menus. Most people assumed that it is the OLED VRR flicker. Mine even loses signal every now and then before restoring. Turns out my model (G95SC) is very sensitive with HDMI 2.1 cables. It also be my GPU (RTX4090). I also changed many pairs of HDMI including trying out the cables included in the box. I could never boot into my desktop PC's BIOS on cold boot because it would not latch onto a signal fast enough before Windows starts. If I managed to get into BIOS, it would always be a black screen.

    The problems went aways when I finally found a good cable: Phoossno 8K Fibre Optical HDMI 2.1 Gen 2 Certified Cable (link: https://www.amazon.com.au/Certified-Optical-phoossno-HDCP2-2…).

    • Whoa five metre long HDMI cable between your computer and your monitor?

      • Its not. But if you account for cable management e.g. routing to the monitor arm, to the desk cable tray, down the cable spine and then back up to the desktop PC, its around 4m already (at least for my setup). I am not sure if the Phoossno has a shorter one but you definitely don't need a 5m cable. Perhaps another HDMI2.1 certified cable would be better. Just have to hunt around.
