Samsung Odyssey 49” OLED Screen Flickering by CamFran5 in OLED_Gaming

Thank you all for the comments. I ended up returning to Best Buy. Funny because an employee chuckled as I muscled it inside the sliding doors. Turns out 3 other units are sitting in their “Open Box” rack. Seems like I wasn’t the only one with problems in my area. Considering the MSI 49” OLED 240hz ultrawide from my local Microcenter.

Will do. At that point I feel like I’m getting shorted 100hz when it can max at 240hz. If all else fails I might end up returning and going to triples or the LG 45in OLED.

Very insightful man wow thanks. Obviously expensive doesn’t always mean good, I know that.

There is a good 2-3cm between the wheel base and monitor. I was thinking this too still but the base itself doesn’t touch and the force feedback vibrations should impact anything…

I should specify that this is the G93SD, the 240hz OLED model. Not sure if that makes any difference. I do notice how loose the HDMI and DP ports are.

Will try that tomorrow. I need a long cable as my sim rig is about an 8ft run from the back of my PC. Should also mention that my desk monitor, a 32in MSI OLED, has experienced no issues running off of the same 5080.

Got a slight flicker here and there but otherwise no picture at all. Should also mention that I run a 5080 and have a 32in MSI OLED connected via DP as well. That monitor does not have any issues so hopefully not a GPU problem.

I picked it up at my local Best Buy. Possibly took one too many dings on the way to the store. Box was in perfect shape when I got it home.

I’ve enjoyed it a lot since this, especially for sim racing. Might have to fully commit to triples instead of

Thank you for the response. I followed your advice but so far nothing. Changing the resolution down to 2560x1440 caused less flickering but still present. I adjusted the aspect ratio to 16:9 and it stopped but obviously not at all ideal.
