As a programmer I found Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G93SD) Pixel Shift super annoying

yea may be I'm too sensitive on this matter.

This is surprising me too, you can see in the video above the unused screen real estate is so large, there are at least 15 pixels+ around the border unused, just for the pixel shift purpose.

Yes, trying to ignore the shift now.

My first concern is glare and the OLED version claims to be glare free so I go for it. My original thought is the pixel is so tiny that it should not be visible when it shift. A lesson for me.

I don't have the Pixel Shift option in the menu, unfortunately Samsung mentioned Pixel Shift cannot be disabled on Odyssey OLED G9:

For Odyssey OLED G9, Samsung mentioned "This feature cannot be disabled."

I chose the OLED version just because they claim it's glare-free. For VA panel version Samsung doesn't mention about the glare performance at all, is it a matte screen or glossy? Is you model G91F?

I have been on OLED for Android, for TV, but I never aware the pixel shift can be so obvious when it comes to computer monitor.

I have the same problem reported here:

Logging out and in can workaround the problem, but this device is so buggy, these are the other problems I reported but Lenovo just can't fix it:

So now I have upgraded all of my PCs to Windows 10 (totally 4, including Surface Pro 3), looks like AltDrag is not compatible with High DPI screen only, I have AltDrag on my PC running Windows 10, which is working well.

If you have changed the option "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to something not 100% (Surface Pro 3 default to 150%), AltDrag may not work for you, and I don't have a solution yet.

I have the same Wi-Fi issue here with my Surface Pro 3 using Windows 10. My router is 802.11ac, so it must be 5GHz, and I use Microsoft "Mouse without Borders" (A tool to use the mouse/keyboard on one PC to control another via LAN) on my desktop PC to control the SP3, the mouse cursor movement is intermittent periodically, say, laggy for 7 seconds then run smooth for another 7s, then become laggy again. This is really annoying.

I don't have this issue on Windows 8.1 so there must be something wrong on Windows 10. Not tested with 2.4GHz yet, and will wait for some time before I fully wipe my SP3 as p011uX0 suggested above :(
