** NEW SAMSUNG ODYSSEY G7/G9 MONITORS 27-49" AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER **

Check out your profiles in advanced display settings in windows, may not be the cause but when I checked this after the firmware update there were 2 profiles in there, swapped to the other one and colours were fine again.
Yeah bud you don't need to add 2nd mount unless you're mounting monitor up top.
Here some instructions:
- Buy Amazon Basics dual monitor. (It holds 2x 10kg monitors so very robust)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076B3Q8JR/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_fabc_4Fh2Fb0DKFRX4
- Take both arms off the dual monitor (simple removal of nut but keep the nuts and bolts)
- Take tilt mechanism off the G9, this is easy, you simply remove the shrouds round it (they pop out into two pieces). Unscrew the bolt holding it to the stand and then knock the bolt out by tapping it. (Keep the washers).
- Attached it to the amazon mount using the bolt from the amazon mount, it matches the width of the G9 tilt mechanism. Use the same washers you had from G9 mount (you may need some more washers if you've got them spare)
Boom. You've got a fully tiltable mount for the G9 for £20-£30.
Nice on mate
any issues with it tilting down with the weight?
How far does the monitor go back, is it further away if it was on the stand? My G9 at the ends roughly sits half way at the desk (65cm depth)
I have the Malm desk so not sure if it will get through the small cable gap at the back, suppose I can order and return if I can't get it on there.

Got my 32" G7 earlier and *wow* those colours! Very impressed so far, becomes an option now they've fixed the flickering and I'm glad of it! 
Just had a G9 from Overclockers. Disappointed to see it's got FA01 on the back though. Assumed ordering in December I wouldn't end up with the first batch
Is there another batch? Thought there were only different months of manufacture... N7, N8, N9 etc
Also, if the monitor is fault free, batch doesn't matter. Judge on case by case basis.

Evening guys.. So my woes continue with this monitor and looking for some advice..
I bought one end of November and after 5 days it ended up with a line of dead/stuck pixels along the full width of the bottom of the screen.. Got RMA'd and received my replacement today, Nothing new has changed on my PC other than Nvidia driver updates..
Now I can't select 240hz.. I'm at the latest driver version with both Nvidia and Samsung
HELP??

I got my third G9, this is new NA version, second its N7, and first N6.
Pros:
Minimal blacklight bleeding
No bezel light bleed
No bezel popping sound (I think they do something desing changes)
Minus:
Horrible scanlines, lots of upper left corner
Joystick control very stiff and muddy feel
Small flicker issue
whining noise coming DVI&HDMI board, and buzzing sound power supply
I not keep this, because those scanlines looks so bad

How are you replicating scanlines, and do you just see them at 240hz or at all refresh rates?
Personally, I'm not convinced that scanlines are that much of an issue, particularly if you compare the positives to other screens.
Thought everything was alright with my G9, but the popping started yesterday. Boy it's annoying! Its literally every 3 or 4 seconds. Does this get any better? It even continues after I turn the computer off and my computer is in my bedroom so there's no way I can put up with this long term
No popping (yet) on my 11 week old G9 N8 model - how long have you had yours? I have the scanline problem across the top of my screen (240Hz, not sure about other resolutions). It doesn't bother me at all as I just use this monitor for gaming only and they really are only visible on the desktop.
Popping started after roughly two days but only lasts for around 2 hours (I'm assuming it's just a result of the screen heating up). No other issues that I've found and honestly, I'm reluctant to roll the dice on another one given the luck some people have had with the G9 but yeah, unacceptable for its price tag!
Mine's an NA
Version Number: FA01

I’m pretty sure this is not possible, but I will ask here in case I am missing a trick.
Can the G7 be setup so that when you change input source it automatically selects different screen settings? For example, I switch from my PC (DP) to Xbox series X (HDMI) I am forever having to manually select between say “custom” and “FPS”. It is something I may be spoilt on as my LG OLED remembers the last setting on each source.
I’m also worried I’m going to wear the button out!

I use orange test image, easy to compare both monitors side by side. Only 240hz, 120hz looks fine. It is so personal what it bothers.

This sounds great! One question as maybe I’m missing something. With both arms removed what do you attach the G9 to on the stand? Thanks!
My second one is popping too, I'm just trying to live with it. I'm past the 28 days returns for Samsung anyway, not really sure what their policy is like after the initial 28 days. Those scanline issues have been bugging me lately. It's very odd, in some instances changing the gamma mode to 2 instead of 1 gets rid of the scanlines in certain applications, but doesn't help in others. I really hope it's something that could be fixed with a firmware update.
Below is image. Left arrow points towards a part that comes with the Amazon mount. It's basically the single point both arms connect to the mount. You leave that on as its what you connect the G9 tilt bracket to. It also allows you to move it up or down.
Arrow on right pointing towards the pin in which you use to connect the G9 tilt mechanism to it.
