Hi,
I have a odyssey g9 oled monitor, 4080 super, and intel 14900k. It used to be beautiful for gaming but recently about for a month now, Im facing issues when alt tabbing or quitting games in full screen. The screen goes black. It comes back when I unplug and replug the display cable.
A quick search led to the conclusion there are issues with dsc, however they seem to be only cases of a intermediary black screen, which is not my case where it stays like that. I was able to fix the issue by turning off hdr and lowering refresh rate from 240hz to 120hz. Switching to borderless/windowed mode also works.
I have rolled back recently installed drivers and even reset my pc. None of them seems to work.
Can someone help please?

Hello,

Best regards.
Having this issue too. The only thing that seems to resolve it is disabling GSYNC–
Samsung Odyssey + Nvidia 40 Series are not playing nice.
System now crashes fully instead of just going to black screen. Have rolled back drivers, and updated BIOS; GSYNC disable is the only fix for hard crashes.
Hello, I just bought this monitor and I am having this issue too. After a lot of troubleshooting, I believe the cause of this issue is the monitor’s firmware. Our monitors received a firmware update on March 2024 and that is when your issue arose despite it working fine previously. As of July 2024, there has not been a firmware update and the next update may not even address this issue so I will be returning my monitor.
Hello,
I have a 13900k and Odyssey G9 OLED monitor. The issue started when I switched my 3080Ti to 4080 Super. Upon research, I found out that disabling Game Mode on the monitor seems to solve this issue. No other settings on the graphics card (or drivers) did anything to it. For the time being it’s been 1 day and I haven’t seen this issue when I disabled Game Mode, I hope it stays that way.

Having same troubles with this monitor and 4090.
Disabling game mode seems to work for me as well but that can’t be the only solution because that removes any ability to access 240 Hz and gsync, Basically making an $1700 monitor worthless. Samsung is also not helping when you speak to them
this helped did u figure out why? I am having same problem brother
I purchased the Samsung Odyssey G9 49" OLED Gaming Monitor during this year’s Black Friday sale.
My Setup:
- RTX 4090 OC
- i9-14900KF
- Display Port Connection
- Fully updated Nvidia Graphics Drivers + G9 Odyssey Drivers
Issues Faced:
- Flickering Display, Display turns off completely with some Applications, Screen Tearing on Dark Themed Applications, Audio Popping (Sounds like an Electrical Pop), and Multiple Issues with Applications running 240 Hz.
Solutions Tried:
- Game Mode Off: Fixes Everything but limits your DP to Non-HDR Connection (Don’t Recommend)
- Input Signal Plus Off (Display Port): Fixes Everything but limits your DP Connection to 60 Hz (Don’t Recommend)
- G-Sync Off (Nvidia Control Panel): Fixes Everything but removes G-Sync Capabilities and VRR (My Recommendation)
In conclusion, there is something really off with this display when it comes to 240 Hz, G-Sync and Game Mode. Samsung and Nvidia need to work together to figure out these issues. This display is honestly a powerhouse in regard to visual clarity and ultra-wide gaming. However, the automated functionalities with Game Mode, HDR and G-Sync connectivity are breaking the experience and causing major headaches.
For now, I’ll continue using the monitor without G-Sync / VRR as it seems to solve most issues.
Same boat here as well.
Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED, 14700K with 4070 super
G-Sync causing horrendous flickering as well when in windowed mode
Crazy thing this only happened when I recently installed a 4070 Super.
Previously had a 3070 installed and had no issues.
UPDATE 02
Setting the OS refresh rate to 120Hz and ENABLE G-Sync for Full screen and Windowed applications, the issue is nearly not present at all as of the time of this update. Will continue to post my findings here as I adjust settings.
UPDATE 01
Seems to have something to do with the operating system refresh rate. When I increase the OS refresh rate to 240Hz and ENABLE G-Sync for Full screen and Windowed applications, the issue is not present though it does take slightly longer for the screen to come back. I will continue testing and updating this post as I discover more.
I have been experiencing the exact same issue as well with my Samsung Odyssey G9 49".
Disabling G-Sync in the NVIDIA Control panel DOES NOT fix the issue. I still need to unplug and reconnect the DP cable.
Issue occurs when Alt+Tab from full screen games.
- Permanent black screen until I unplug and then reinsert the DP cable
- Sometimes this issue crashes and restarts my PC
Current configuration:
- Windows 11
- RTX 3090
- i9-13900K
- Display Port Connection
- Fully updated Nvidia Graphics Drivers + G9 Odyssey Driver

Same issues here too:
Win 11
RTX 3080 Super
i9-14900KF
2 G9 Monitors - LS49CG954SNXZA
Keep flicker back and forth and some times are unusable after boot.
I was going to try to roll back to previous version of driver.
HDR is disabled using GSYNC, VRR and Game Mode

I have LG Ultragear 27gp750 240 hz 1080p monitor, it was showing black screen randomly on connecting with DP cable.
It is solved by following steps below
- In the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to “Display” and then “Change Resolution”.
- Click the image representing the display you want to affect, then click “Customise”.
- From the Customise dialogue box, click “Create Custom Resolutions”.
- Select “CVT reduced blank” from the “Timing Standard” list.
- Click “Test” and then “Save” if the test passes.

Omg finally it works for my Samsung 57’ G95NC on 240hz with 5090, thanks
Go into the Nvidia control panel, then to G-Sync and make sure fullscreen and windows in selected. It fixed it for me.
