Samsung G9 Monitor Driver

The Ergotron HX is holding my Samsung 49-inch G9 and it is simply outstanding. It clears up considerable desk space and allows me to position the monitor exactly as I want. It was easy to put together and attach to my desk and the monitor. Ergotron really did their homework when they designed this arm. It is well worth the price.

This is a great desk mount for heavy monitors like Samsung G9 49. Easy to put together, good range of movement.

I tried everything to mount my Samsung Odyssey G9. I tried heavy-duty mounts from every company, I tried bolting things in place, and I tried everything short of welding a bracket for the monitor. I still ended up with this Ergotron arm with the HD Pivot. I am so glad that I ended up biting the bullet. Setup was easy, the only issue I had was that I needed to reinforce the desk with wooden boards because the weight was too much for my Ikea desktop. Other than that I am looking at a pile of arms I tried that did not work and realizing that I spent more than the cost of this arm trying to find a cheaper alternative. Learn from my mistake and just go with this one from the start.

Pros: Very fast startup, Very easy to install using Samsung's Data Migration Software. I installed the 850 PRO by migrating my boot HDD to the 850 PRO and replacing the HDD (my C: drive) with the much faster 850 PRO. Everything went very smoothly in my Windows 10 AMD desktop. Cons: Samsung could do a better job on instructing the user on how to prepare the system prior to the start of data migration. For example there should be a set of instructions informing the user to make sure the AHCI driver is loaded on the Windows 10 system prior to the start of data migration. If you don't use AHCI you will not get the maximum performance from your ssd. If you install the AHCI driver after migrating the data to the ssd and then replacing the hdd with the ssd, you may lose the ability to boot the computer from the ssd. Windows 10 does not install the AHCI driver in a fresh install of Windows 10. Samsung should have step by step instructions on what to do to make sure we get best performance for which the ssd was designed.

This SSD supports the new PCIE 4.0 standard. My laptop supports only the previous PCIE 3.0 standard. So, I was thinking the speed would still be the same as before given the situation. I was mistaken. This new SSD boots up faster than my previous 970 EVO Plus, so it is in fact an upgrade and future proof. However, the problem is not with the drive, the problem is with the Samsung driver. Samsung is at this writing only, making a driver available for their SSD's UP TO AND INCLUDING the 970 series only. There is no Samsung Elpis controller driver for this model. So, Windows 10 uses the built-in standard Microsoft NVME driver for Windows 10 that was written in 2006. Almost 15 years ago. So, I imagine that as soon as Samsung releases a new driver for this device, it will be even faster. Love it.

Great product, works as intended. Works perfectly with my Odyssey G9. One thing to note is when trying to just the viewing angle of the monitor itself be sure to raise the G9s angle higher than intended as the mounting bracket that comes with the G9 hangs at a slight angle. This makes it so the monitor itself will adjust to a lower angle naturally. Correct this by overcompensating vertically so it falls into the correct position when you tighten the tension arm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this monitor with my OLED G9 monitor for what it’s worth it’s cool for a 10yr old just breaking into the gamer pc world. Obviously the graphics is much older then the new monitors out like the G9 but if your starting out this works well. I love the vertical and horizontal swivel. Good for reading comments when broadcasting. I paired it with my G9 and its great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new G9 Gaming Monitor is everything I’ve been looking for. Great refresh rate, incredible graphics, and outstanding looks. I’m so happy with new gaming monitor, and making all my friends jealous is a plus. :)

I really like this monitor it's a definite upgrade from my 32" samsung.

Works as well as the battery that came with my G9.
