According to our monitor expert
Immerse yourself in an exciting gaming experience with the Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo Mini-LED LS49AG950NPXEN 49-inch 5K gaming monitor. This super ultrawide monitor has special mini-LED local dimming. As a result, all parts of the screen are clearly visible, even when it's pitch-black in your game. Thanks to the slight curve of the screen, you can see it in its entirety without having to turn your head. The screen curves around your field of view, so you experience a panoramic effect. With 49 inches of screen space, you have a whole new world in front of you. Adjust the field of view in your arena shooters or open-world games and take advantage of the immense overview you have on screen. Thanks to the 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, you can game with super fast images. That makes this monitor suitable for competitive gamers as well. Do you have an AMD or NVIDIA video card? This Samsung monitor has both G-Sync and FreeSync, so you can synchronize your video card and monitor. That way, you prevent stuttering while you game and enjoy a smooth gaming session.
Note: you need a powerful video card for 5K gaming, such as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 3090 or AMD Radeon RX 6000 series GPU, an Xbox Series X, or a PlayStation 5.

During the installation, had the necessary problems, Monitor got "no" signal from my RTX-3080-TI via DP or HDMI 2.1 cable. First updated Bios from 1004.0 to 1007.3, it didn't help. Finally got a picture via the Picture in picture option.

Second chance product but actually in new condition. I think only the box has been opened once and the rest has never been unpacked.
The monitor replaces my 2 Asus VE248 monitors that I've had for about 7 years now (and still work fine by the way). After connecting with the supplied DP cable and connecting to the Wi-fi, I first received a firmware update (v1442). Installing this took a while. After this the menu etc. was a bit on the slow side for a few minutes. That slowness disappeared afterwards, incidentally, and everything else works fine in my opinion.
The issue of the monitor not waking up from standby is a common complaint with this monitor and mine has the same problem. I expect this to be resolved with a firmware update. So far the workaround for me is to set a screen saver with nothing (black screen) and to never let the monitor go out in the power settings of Windows. The monitor is then always 'on', but the screen actually goes out. After all, with black, the pixels are off.
I have not seen any color fringing (green/purple lines above and below text, etc.) after the firmware update, even when I look very closely at the screen. Have read here and there that Windows 11 would also have this issue less / not. Since I have everything running on Windows 11, I can't compare that. This was a possible issue that I was most worried about before purchasing, but which was ultimately unjustified.
Samsung TV is a nice feature, but unnecessary for me personally, there is also quite a bit of compression in the stream, which is reflected in slightly blocky images. Netflix and Disney+ stream in higher quality, but if you're not too picky, it's great to watch.
All in all very satisfied with it.

Likes it. I read in other reviews that the menu is slow, but not bothered by this.
