If you prioritize deep blacks and vibrant colors in your gaming and media consumption, the LG 32GS95UE with its OLED panel is an excellent choice and can also be well-suited for print photo editing. However, for ultra-wide immersive experiences in both gaming and productivity tasks, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 offers a unique, super-ultrawide screen. Keep in mind though, the LG has a higher resolution which benefits clarity for productivity and media, while the Samsung's standout feature is its extremely high HDR peak brightness, which, unfortunately, doesn't translate to being recommended for HDR gaming and media consumption. Consider the LG if cost is a concern and you want higher clarity and true blacks, or opt for the Samsung if you prefer a wider, more immersive screen and are okay with a lower clarity for increased field of view in games.
