If cost is a concern, the Innocn 27M2U offers solid performance for productivity and HDR video editing at a midrange price, but it's less suited for competitive gaming due to its poor refresh rate. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, on the other hand, is a premium choice that excels in media consumption and competitive gaming with its very good refresh rate and wider screen, but the high cost and glossy finish that can cause reflections might not be ideal for every setup. The Samsung's larger screen and aspect ratio provide an immersive experience but may not be as practical for standard productivity tasks. Choose the Innocn for a balance of price and performance, especially in HDR content creation, or invest in the Samsung for top-tier gaming and media experiences, keeping in mind the steeper price and potential ergonomic drawbacks of a wider display.

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
