I could not get the black bars on the sides to work reliably. Essentially you’ll be playing the game in borderless window mode with your desktop on the sides in place of the usual black bars. This is not a completely perfect solution but it is the only method I could find that works reliably for me. ![]() I can only give instructions for NVIDIA Graphics Cards so you may need to search for another solution if you have an AMD GPU. ![]() If you’re looking to display FPS games in 2560x1440p, follow along with these instructions. How to get Valorant (and other FPS Games) to Work Properly using the Samsung Odyssey G9 ![]() In case you guys need a solution for this read below. Valorant specifically caused me some headache to get to work properly. I ended up searching for solutions to get all of my FPS games to be displayed at 2560x1440p instead. If you easily get motion sick, I would not recommend playing at the full resolution of this monitor in FPS games(although you technically have a wider field of view so you have some sort of advantage to see people on the sides if you can move your eyes a far distance). Playing games like Valorant and Halo on such a wide screen made me a little nauseated from motion sickness due to the wide field of view and rapid movement. Supposedly the updated firmware may have solved some of these issues. For now, I have adaptive sync turned off and am using vertical sync enabled by games at 240hz. I don’t notice the 240hz refresh rate too much coming from 144hz while gaming, but just moving dragging and moving around windows feels extremely silky smooth. If you are wondering how a 240hz refresh rate compares to a 144hz, there are definitely diminishing returns. It took me a while to figure out that it was the refresh rate causing the issue after tweaking around various settings. For some reason, the Samsung Odyssey G9 at 240hz refresh rate caused my HTC VIVE Pro headset to show a black screen after several seconds. The 240 hz refresh rate is amazing but I encounter similar issues but at a much lower rate. The other half outputs a black screen which forces me to power cycle the monitor to get anything to display again. Half of the games I boot up work properly. I’m not 100% sure how other people have got the Adaptive Sync to work properly and consistently but it’s an absolute crap shoot for me. Here is the latest version 1008.1 as of the time of this article. There are also some issues regarding the pre-installed firmware so you may need to update the firmware to resolve some of the issues. However, this monitor comes with a fair amount of issues since many games aren’t built to properly run on a 5120×1440 monitor (32:9). This monitor is absolutely perfect for games that display beautiful scenery like Abzu, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption, Rocket League, and Breath of the Wild. Source: The burning question for most of you people considering to buy this monitor. For an idea of how massive this thing is… I needed to know what this ridiculous monitor was like. I mean look at how wide the thing is! The thing takes up so much space! The more I thought about it and the more I looked at it…curiosity got the best of me. Initially, I wasn’t going to buy this monitor since it’s an absolutely ridiculous monitor. I remember watching Linus’s review video on the G9 which is more technical than I want to get into in this article. The Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ looks good…but it’s way out of my budget. I couldn’t get over the washed out colors (even after playing around and tweaking the settings). However if you guys have never experienced a TN panel with a good refresh rate, the AW3520DW monitor may be the right one for you! After using the Alienware monitor for several days for both work and gaming, I started looking around for other curved monitors. The colors felt washed out (inferior contrast) and the text felt harder to read coming from the PG279Q. However, upgrading to the Alienware AW3420DW was not what I thought it would be. Most of all, what I loved about the PG279Q is the image quality and the 144hz refresh rate (older model, the newer models now go up to 165hz). I had been using the Asus PG279Q for a while and loved everything about it. How I Ended Up Getting the Samsung Odyssey G9 Monitorīack on Amazon Prime Day, I had jumped on the deal for the Alienware AW3420DW out of impulse. ![]()
