I just got an Orange Pi 5 from China and I also have a Samsung G9 monitor. I found your thread because I'm trying to get it working over HDMI and OMG is it a PITA. I've tried all the HDMI cables that I could find in my house (that's 5 so far) and none of them give me video on the G9 from this Orange Pi 5, even from a fresh boot the Orange Pi boot screen doesn't show up. I have an old spare monitor for testing that works great with all five of these HDMI cables and the Orange Pi 5 so I'm pretty sure that something fails to negotiate the video.
@Blackenz, when you use HDMI do you see the Orange Pi boot logo on your G9? I can use the HDMI port on my G9 with another computer I have nearby and it seems to work fine but when I use the Orange Pi 5 as the source, nothing ever comes out.
I tried forcing the monitor to HDMI version 1.4 instead of 2.0 but still nothing.
I noticed that the OSD menu doesn't show very many options when the Orange Pi 5 is plugged in and on, almost like the G9 doesn't even see it there.
After reading your thread I have on order a USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable that says it supports 4k@144Hz and 2k@240Hz, but we'll see. It's supposed to arrive today so, hopefully, I can get a video feed from this thing on my primary monitor using DisplayPort.

Power down function is not supported yet on H3 boards due to lack of support for https://linux-sunxi.org/AR100 inside the kernel.
Thanks Igor, but this functionality was supported on older kernel 3.4.113 and subsequently removed from the newer kernel?

Armbianmonitor:
I have two Orange PI +2E machines. The first one I got was a while ago so it's running a 3.4.113 kernel (16.04), the more recent one I purchased is running 4.19.13 kernel (18.04) - both are Ubuntu Armbian. I've noticed when I use the "shutdown now" command on the older pi, the board actually powers off but when I use the same command on the newer kernel board, it never powers down. The newer board appears to stop all services and eventually report that the system is halted but it remains in that state. Is there a way to enable it to power off after a "shutdown now" is issued? I'm wondering if this is a kernel difference but it may be something else completely.
Thanks,

Well, I got a USB-C to DisplayPort cable and a USB-C to HDMI cable so I could try them both. Turns out, the only thing that actually allows me to see anything is the USB-C to HDMI cable. When I get video though, it is crazy small. When I look at the mode, it says 3840x2160! I don't know how that mode is displayable on the monitor but somehow it is, I changed it to the next option down which is 1920x1080.
I also pulled my edid information. It's much shorter and looks quite a bit different than Blackenz results for some reason:
I don't see Block 2 nor Block 3. My monitor is running the 1016.0 Firmware which is the latest released version from Samsung. I don't really want to use this thing in 1080p since it is capable of so much more!
I tried to do the process from the link @Blackenz shared:
Based on the comments in the thread this should have worked but nothing seemed to change. I'm thinking that there's gotta be some BIOS firmware or something that needs to be updated on this thing to properly interact with my monitor but I can't seem to find that kind of detail anywhere on the OrangePi website.
