If you're looking for a more immersive and wider display for gaming and media, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 would provide you with a larger screen and higher resolution but at a premium price. However, if you prefer spending less and still want excellent gaming performance with a more conventional size and aspect ratio, the LG 27GR95QE is a cost-effective choice with great capabilities for both gaming and general use. Keep in mind that the Samsung's wider screen might not be as suitable for productivity tasks due to stretching at the edges, whereas the LG's traditional aspect ratio is generally better for day-to-day work.

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."
