I had the USB hub plugged into the computer and since then it has been working normal!!! so I hope this helps I change my rating I just wish the monitor would automatically turn on sensing the PC was booted on, I guess I have to leave the monitor on for that but anyway I love this monitor

The Samsung 49” Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor has completely transformed my gaming and productivity setup. Its expansive 49-inch 1000R curved screen wraps around my field of vision, providing an immersive experience that’s second to none. The Dual QHD resolution (5120 x 1440) delivers crystal-clear visuals, making every detail pop.  The 240Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms response time ensures ultra-smooth gameplay, eliminating any motion blur or lag. Whether I’m engaged in fast-paced FPS games or exploring open-world adventures, the performance is consistently top-notch.The QLED technology enhances color accuracy and contrast, bringing games to life with vibrant and true-to-life colors. Additionally, the support for both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro ensures tear-free gaming sessions, regardless of the graphics card in use.  Beyond gaming, this monitor has significantly boosted my productivity. The ultra-wide aspect ratio allows me to multitask efficiently, replacing the need for a dual-monitor setup. The Infinity Core Lighting adds a sleek and modern aesthetic to my workspace, making it as stylish as it is functional.

02/01/21 Edit: Wanted to add that I've experienced plenty of technical difficulties. Playing a 60fps game in non-fullscreen when the monitor is set to 240hz or 120hz causes flickering in everything outside of the game and stuttering in-game. Also, Valorant doesn't support ultrawides, so there are issues there too. There's a workaround for all of these, so the purpose of this edit is to say that you should be moderately tech savvy and flexible with handling this beast. It has a lot of potential to be an incredible monitor, but only if the user is capable of harnessing its power. Please don't just buy this because it's "cool" because you'll be disappointed by the issues it has that you'll have to do extra work to fix.11/23/20 Edit (purchased 10/09/20): 240hz + G-Sync Compatible + Windows HDR works all of a sudden. I had the monitor software (not firmware) installed on my PC, monitor firmware updated on 10/09, and I'm running version 457.30 for my Nvidia drivers. Up until the 23rd, I was using 120hz + G-Sync Compatible + HDR disabled on desktop (but enabled in compatible games via settings). If you couldn't get 240hz running before, it works now. I'm running a 2080ti, in case you didn't read below. Hope this helps. Enjoy!When I first got the TV-sized box, I was blown away by how big it actually was. 49 inches is obviously big, but for someone like me who's only used standard aspect ratio gaming monitors at around 25"... Wow. Assembly is definitely easier with two people, but... It's sort of doable with 1. Just make sure you keep the monitor in the protective foam until the stand is installed. The monitor visibly flexes if you lay it on its front without support. It probably won't break, but do you REALLY want to take the chance with your $1400 + tax? I don't.Speaking of assembly, don't close the rear panel until you update the firmware using a USB stick. Refer to the included manual for instructions on how to do that, where to plug the USB, etc. The newest firmware seems to fix a lot of issues, so it's definitely worth the slight inconvenience.Once I got the firmware loaded and the monitor set up on my desk, I immediately booted up Shadow of the Tomb Raider to try out the HDR. This is my first time with an HDR monitor, and... Blacks are really black. This doesn't come with full array local dimming, but has a comparatively lame 10-zone backlit system, but otherwise, this is the jack of all trades ultrawide you should definitely consider.On my particular unit, I got it with a blue dot on the box, which I think is indicative of a faulty unit from the first few batches that was recalled and repaired. I was able to run 120hz, G-Sync compatible, HDR with 10-bit RGB color. I was NOT able to run 240hz, G-Sync compatible, HDR in any color config. The monitor just wouldn't turn on with that, so I had to turn the refresh rate down from the OSD to allow it to work again. This may be remedied in a future firmware update, or with the 3080 or 3090, but this did not work with my 2080ti. But PLEASE don't let this turn you away. Eye candy games generally can't run over 100 fps anyway, and G-Sync does enough to make 60 fps look smooth.I did not notice any visible flickers or otherwise weird, unpleasant, or distracting visual quirks during gameplay. Your mileage may vary depending on the particular batch you get, but QC has significantly improved. That being said, it still might be worth waiting a little for the older batches to go out. The only defect on my unit is a little line (about an inch and a half) where light leaks out on the top left section in the bezel. It's an issue others have mentioned, but it has zero effect on actual gameplay or immersion, and it's not very bright or noticeable (especially on 1000nit peak brightness HDR gameplay haha). Doesn't bother me at all and I'm thrilled to be using such an incredible piece of tech.In short, if you're running a beefy PC with at least a 2080 or any 30-series card, give this monitor a try if you can afford it. Those running anything less probably won't get acceptable performance with this half-5K monitor without reducing resolution and wasting your hard-earned money. If you get a good roll with the QC, which has significantly improved since launch, I don't think you'll regret the purchase! Enjoy.
