Short story:
- Bought G91SD
- Arrived ok, installed it ok, used it ok
- Six days later, spontaneous vertical crack
- Contacted warranty
- Sent techinician
- Warranty denied cause "mechanical damage = consumer damage", despite having it break itself on camera.
Looked it up online and is astounding the amount of people that have been affected from the old VA G9, then the VA mini led G9 neo and now the OLED G9.
Other brands also use the samsung panel, but they dont get this issue. Personally, i think it's a defect at the chasis level that breaks the panel due to thermal expansion/contraction, chasis that has been recycled since the old G9's.
If you want to play roulette, go for it, but be sure that the warranty is meaningless and unless you have 700-1200 USDs as literal disposable income, you may end up with quite a bitter taste in your mouth.
You can see my same issue going to the 49" Odyssey QD-OLED G9 (G91SD) go to ratings, select 1 star and search for "luv3Shop" 's review.
Oh, and btw seems they denied my review where i bought it.
Here you can see the before and after:
And here you can see security camera footage with the white crack appearing 1-2 seconds after the loud "CRACK" (camera was on nightvision, basically we can see how the reflection in the glass changes with the crack in the same spot where later the damage is clearly shown with the screen on in the above picture):
