The LG 27GR95QE is a 27-inch monitor with a 1440p resolution, ideal for gamers seeking a high refresh rate of 240Hz and excellent color accuracy for digital photo editing. Its W-OLED panel offers perfect contrast and wide color gamut, making it suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption, though it lacks HDR peak brightness compared to the Samsung. It's also more suited for productivity tasks due to its 16:9 aspect ratio and matte coating that reduces glare. On the other hand, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G93SC is a 49-inch ultrawide with a 5120x1440 resolution, providing an immersive experience for both gaming and media consumption with its 32:9 aspect ratio. The QD-OLED panel delivers superior HDR peak brightness and color volume, and it's one of the few monitors suitable for HDR video editing. However, its large size and glossy coating might not be as practical for everyday productivity tasks or in well-lit environments. If you prioritize a more versatile monitor for both gaming and productivity with better text clarity and a more manageable size, the LG is the way to go. But if you're looking for the ultimate gaming and media experience with a massive screen and superior HDR performance, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is the better choice, provided you have the space and ideal lighting conditions for it.

PC Gamer
Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
