Now if some company would make a OLED / QLED 32:9 matte display screen with a high enough PPI and color accuracy for design work, LG's curvature and Samsung's minimalist design, we'd get the best of both worlds for editors / designers.
possibly 2025 when Samsung decides to make their 49inch a 3rd gen. Then again we will get a 1800R sadly. Maybe, LG will surprise us later this year when they announce their new OLEDs.
Huh?! It's a blessing to b se rid of matte displays finally. Having a glossy screen is definitely not a disadvantage because the matte finish ruins the clarity of it. Also, Samsung's normal curve is nearly as deep as this but for whatever reason, they decided to go with 1800 instead...
So, for productivity, what would be a higher PPI comp? Or do I even need a higher PPI if I'm in Excel and 10-K's and just need text to be sharp, clear, and readable?
Great review, I went with the newer Samsung G9 with the remote. You are right the LG does handle console gaming very well I have to change the aspect ratio on the G9, luckly I sim race so the G9 is perfect for that. I also create sports content and its great to be able to see my entire timeline which is a jump from using dual 32 inch monitors. I also like the fact that G9 is shorter than the LG, I plan to stack a 32inch above it and wont have to bend my neck as much looking up at that monitor.
My thing is that you can basically do the same ratio on samsung as lg if the game doesnt support it. If the game supports 329, great! If not, do maximum ratio you can. Also, 4:3 sucks for youtube, web browsing, and such. A lot of web designs are fit for 16:9 ratio. No matter the gaming/productivity, samsung has upper hands just because they can offer greater ratio. I ordered g9 oled and getting it today. I game, video edit, watch youtube and all for me to have 4:3. My friend had(emphasis) lg45" ultra gear and he hates it. Only plugs in for specific games and he is about to order g9
@@OnPatrolFan I have that monitor and it's amazing for gaming. Doubt you have it and all you do is read specs. Every single person that has seen that LG ultra gear has been blown away.
LG is almost double the price of Samsung in my country. So it's a no brainer. Although coming from a 1000r neo g9 I agree on your comments on the curvature. Bought the Samsung oled g9 in the end.
Im looking at the Samsung for productivity for 70% of the time and 30% for gaming but afraid of the OLED burn in issue. I mostly use Outlook, Teams and Word. Is it difficult to read text on the Samsung?
I have the original Samsung G9 49" and I'm debating between these 2 screens. I have a high end PC so powering the Samsung screen has never been a problem but I do feel while gaming I need to literally turn my head left or right to see my health bars or things like that. I am used to some games just simply not supporting ultrawide so that's really not a deal breaker for me. What would you guys decide to do?
I would say get the Samsung and then stack the LG above :) jk. I do believe LG is the one if you're not using it for work. I personally would get the Samsung, but that's because I would use half the screen for work and the other half for my personal PC.
Thanks for the great comparison video. Now, looking at both monitors side by side it looks like the LG has more vertical screen then the G9 ? the LG is taller or it´s just my eyes ? Last week I ordered from Amazon a G95SC for 1189€ I haven´t received it yet, I will be using it mainly for gaming. Maybe I should have got an LG instead 😅
The LG Is mildly taller than the Samsung. Its basically Taller Vs Wider. Samsung is effectively two 16:9 Screens compared to LG. I've got the G9 and had the chance to see it side by side LG on a showcase..I in my case prefer the G9 because..I dunno the color stands out a bit more than the LG IMHO My room is pretty dark so its perfect for me more or less. Though i would have preferred a more aggressive curve.
I’m going to try the G9 it’s wider and glossy screen stands out more the colors. Also better PPI. My room is also dark not afraid of reflections. Does the G9 come with an FPS counter ? Game bar 2.0 any good ? Also does your G9 gets to hot after 2 or 3 hours of intensive gaming ?
@@3do2Gamebar 2.0 is okay, honestly just tells me what i need to know. Fps, VRR, display ratio and resolution. Pretty easy to swap 32:9 to 16:9. If you got a samsung phone, smartThings basically allow you to use it as a remote too. It does get warm but not noticeable unless you touch the screen. Its not HOT persay, just like a mildly warm heated toilet seat. But you honestly cant tell especially when youre in a room with an AC. Your pc would probably output significantly more heat than this. Not many people know this but it also lets you calibrate the monitor with your phone. Its not the best like a proper calibrator but its a nice hidden feature.
I have the g9 oled atm but i ordered the lg also and i get it tommorow hopefully. On g9 colors and glossy panel were nice but what i didn't like so much was that 1800r curve its almost flat so i really need to turn my head in some games. Also i think more vertical space is going to be better.
You are completely right, I currently have the 38-in LCD version of this monitor and that's the resolution it uses. I have the 39 in ordered right now and it will come to me tomorrow. I think, I'm hoping the picture quality is good enough that it makes it worth keeping
Even that's not enough. 5k/2k is only 121 PPI for 21:9, and that's the minimum you want with OLED based panels due to text fringing. We won't be waiting much longer, the 5K/2K model drops in December, so it's about 3 to 4 months out. I currently have the LG 45, and it's actually very good. Gaming is epic, nobody will complain in that regard, but text isn't so great. I'm getting by with it, but video editing is a little tough since the preview pane isn't very clear, so I have to use a dedicated monitor for video preview. Still worth it though, because when I fire up any game that has decent HDR, my mind is blown every time. Wait for the 5k model though, it'll be worth the wait.
Your 50FPS on your 1050Ti is still going to be 50FPS on an expensive 240hz monitor. When those 240hz montiros comes out is the perfect time to get a 120hz because majority of people can't even push above that framerate anyways
Samsung g8 oled is the best oled monitor to date.. Not too big, decent speaker, qd oled, glossy, tizen os... Also i don't need 4k 240hz because it requires more gpu powerhouse
One thing that I have noticed about the Samsung is that since it's a QD-OLED it will be more prone to burn-in, and combined with the productivity workload it will likely receive (with static buttons and interfaces) it might actually defeat the purpose of such monitor. At this point I'm sticking to dual 16:9 for now, also because I'm using two 4K monitors and definitely don't want to lose that PPI, these two monitors can only do 1440p. I guess monitor technology simply isn't advanced enough for high-end OLED monitors to be a "no-brainer". I will be waiting for a 32:9 4K WOLED option by LG, if that ever comes up.
Have had both of these. I prefer the LG for gaming performance. Even with a 4090, you will struggle to hit Samsung's 240 hz at that res. The LG has no issue due to the lower resolution. 50 Series cards will have a better time utilizing all 240hz of the Samsung at 5160x1440. For you snobs talking about ppi, I use this monitor for work as well, and its not bad at that either. That being said, I would not buy the LG at full price. I got mine for around 900$ new. MSRP is 1700$ which is just too much for any monitor unless you're doing color correction professionally.
there are actually 2 models, smart and non smart. The smart version has the remote with a different os apparently its buggy at times, and produces more heat in the unit which could be a factor with burn in potential. The non smart edition shown in this video is also cheaper in most markets.

Poor QD Oleds just cannot display proper dark levels... Just by the thumbnail i could say that it was either an IPS or QD versus a proper black LG OLED...
That's quite inaccurate. Neither QD or White OLED rely on a backlight and can produce perfect blacks by turning off individual pixels. There is some merit to your claim in the sense that QD-OLED panels tend to suffer from the blacks gaining a purple hue when displayed in lit environments, but this is not something that occurs in lighting controlled environments. As long as you don't have daylight or lamps shining at the display, QD Oleds will also produce completely black blacks.
47 inches long so it doesn’t need a big curvature to be the most immersive monitor I had ever owned, also must modern games support the 32:9 aspect ratio and is impressive, playing any racing game is like having a expensive multi screen expensive set up with only ONE SCREEN …..
