![]() In my case, it happens randomly, turning off/on again fixes it - just a FYI. This firmware seems to have introduced a bug that makes the screen completely break when waking from sleep mode.Here's a bullet list of my main findings: ![]() Nevertheless, this might be the best this monitor will ever look, since Samsung might be prioritising minimizing blooming artifacts with their FALD algorithm. 1006.1 has definitely improved things for the better, but there's room for improvement from Samsung's part. I believe I’ve finally found a good compromise to achieve close to proper HDR with this monitor. Update - Firmware 1006.1 extended testing and results (02/09/21) Obviously, no firmware was released in September, and now there are rumours of Samsung releasing it only by the end of October. Update - Next firmware release postponed (04/10/21) Just don't forget to update your firmware after purchasing it :) If you love the aspect ratio AND need the best image quality from a LCD display, then the Neo G9 is the monitor for you. The next best thing is an OLED panel, and if you don't mind using a 48'' TV as a PC monitor, then by all means go for it. However, it is without a doubt the best option in the market at the moment for those who are after a monitor with excellent colour reproduction, minimal black smearing, industry leading HDR performance and motion handling. Issues with scanlines are also still there, and likely a hardware deficiency, so do not expect updates that will fix it (although it seems that they've been minimised with 1007.3, but evidence is anecdotal here). The VRR Control function helps when HDR isn't enabled but seems to be not sufficient when HDR kicks in during contrasty of very dark situations. Flickering during dark scenes with adaptive sync or HDR on is still very much a problem. 120hz still feels a bit stuttery to me (in comparison with 240hz), which is a shame since I'm most of the time outside of the G-Sync range and triggering LFC instead, though not a deal breaker by any means. HDR content pops, and the dynamic mode is now a true option that allows a bit more peak brightness in exchange of an overall darker, more contrasty image. This monitor can finally be called a true HDR monitor, FALD is doing what it was meant to do, HDR gamma is correct in all games even on Windows' desktop. In my short time reviewing all my previously tested games, the improvements are dramatic. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions so far but thankfully, with the support of everyone here, Tim from HUB and Internet "word of mouth", we can successfully say that Samsung didn't get away with it this time. I believe this will probably be my last update for a while, if not ever.
