If you prioritize immersive gaming and media experiences with a very wide field of view, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC's larger screen and higher resolution may appeal to you, and its high color fidelity makes it great for photo editing. For competitive gaming, both monitors offer very good refresh rates and low response times, but the LG's smaller size could lead to less eye movement, which is advantageous. If you're looking for excellent HDR gaming and media consumption, either will serve you well, but Samsung's higher peak brightness could enhance those experiences. However, for productivity, the Samsung's ultra-wide screen may offer more screen real estate for multitasking, but the LG's higher pixels per inch could make text and fine details sharper. Note that the LG's lower peak brightness may not be as suitable for brightly lit environments as the Samsung's. Give Feedback

Phil Hayton | August 2023
"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
