If superior color depth, wider color gamut, and higher contrast are priorities and you engage in HDR gaming and media consumption, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a better choice. However, if you're looking to save money while still getting a large, high-resolution display suitable for productivity and casual gaming, the Samsung S43CG70 could suffice, though it won't perform as well in competitive gaming or offer the same level of HDR experience. The Odyssey's curvature and ultra-wide aspect also make it more immersive for gaming and watching movies, but less ideal for tasks needing straight lines like photo editing. Give Feedback
