Amazing monitor as long as you have good cables

SAMSUNG 49 inch Odyssey G9 DQHD 2K 1440P 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Pro & G-Sync Compatible 0.03ms RGB 1800R Smart Curved Gaming Computer Monitor with Height Adjustable & Tilt Stand LS49DG956SNXGO

Pros: I'm using this monitor on a Mac Studio M2 as a developer and it's a great monitor. In order to get it to work properly, I had to make sure I was using a good cable. I tried several HDMI cables that didn't work and ended up purchasing a HDMI to USB-C cable rated for 6K that worked with the monitor. As a developer this monitor allows me to see all the code and also test my apps all on the same screen which is extremely nice.

Cons: - I wish it had a USC port that I could plug a Thunderbolt cable directly into and use that for the display into my Mac. I tried that and it didn't work.

Overall Review: - I think this is an amazing monitor for developers. I did not test it playing games but instead I use it for: Coding Video Editing Web Browsing Standard work tasks (Zoom meetings, etc)

Pros: 0

Cons: memory is bad out of the package. Can't even get into single user mode without a kernel panic.

Overall Review: The packaging for the memory is terrible and New Egg shipped in the thinnest possible package. I blame both companies for terrible shipping of the product. No doubt probably damaged in shipping.
