If you prioritize wide, immersive experiences for media consumption and gaming, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 may suit you better with its larger screen and higher resolution, offering exceptional image clarity. However, for tasks requiring accurate color reproduction like photo editing, the LG 34GS95QE's performance is commendable and it's less expensive. Keep in mind the Samsung offers slightly better peak brightness for HDR content, enhancing gaming and movie watching experiences, but the LG's faster total response time can be beneficial for casual gaming. Both are premium OLED options, so they excel in contrast and color depth, but your choice depends on whether you value size and brightness over response time and cost savings. Give Feedback
