Thanks for watching! Which one of these would you take if you could only pick one? Find the 45" LG Ultragear OLED: US Official Website - bit.ly/46m5zOu BestBuy - geni.us/0eAm2 Find the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 - go.magik.ly/ml/1ychd/
I didn't see you mention this but the odyssey oled g9 has 7 million pixel 1 million below 4k. the lg has 5 million pixels. Pixels per inch are significantly lower on the lg 82. Pixels per inch on Samsung are 108 which is ok for production work.
Thank you for doing a side by side comparison! I have the G9 OLED and while I do appreciate the glossy OLED, coming from a Neo G9, the lack of curve is very glaring. Further, the G9 OLED has issues that many users have reported - heat glare in the center of the screen (even in idle and low ambient temps), runs hot along bottom edge of screen (likely due to poor heat dissipation), and white flickering sporadically (both on desktop and during gaming). Like you said, the center of the screen gets REALLY hot (and I was using normal desktop use). It was the same with the Neo G9. In summer, the room is a sauna - even if you use an AC your face gets warm. I believe this is due to the housing at the back of the monitor. Unlike the LG 45, the G9 has bad heat management and all of it is trapped inside the housing. The RGB also contributes to the heat, whereas on the LG you can see the RGB is along the edges not in the center. Burn in is affected by heat, so I am worried that heat issue will contribute to future burn in. Even worse, I cannot install a monitor arm because the screw holes at the back of the monitor are mis-aligned (less reported issue but I found a similar complaint on RUclips). If I have to send a brand new monitor like this back for repairs (for God knows how long) instead of a replacement, it will just add insult to injury. It is a good looking monitor, make no mistake, but Samsung monitor quality control is atrociously bad. And their service support takes forever. If anyone decides to buy the G9 OLED, please make sure you buy it from a store and ramp up the warranty.
I'm in the market for a new monitor. I have my eye on the Neo G9 49". I'm leaning towards Mini LED over the OLED because I also need it to work on 8 hours a day and Mini LED seem the way to go. My question to you is what GPU do you have as I'm a little concerned about gaming on the Neo G9 with a xtr 4080.
I bought the G9 Oled version that doesn't have the built in smart features and I have none of these issues. I also came from the original Odyssey G9. I miss the 1000r curve, but I got the monitor on sale for $1099. That was too good of a deal to pass on.
Awesome video! im trying to decide between this two monitors and this gave me alot of help. first ever video ive watched from u and its a instant following. keep up the great work!
Well done comprehensive comparison. I have had a 49 inch 32:9 monitor and at the end of the day it felt cramped vertically. I recently purchased the LG 45GR95QE and man does this monitor kill it for gaming. It fills your FOV brilliantly, offering high refresh and OLED contrast. It does not seem too dim for me. You will hear folks lament its resolution for text etc.... for me its a non issue. For gaming this monitor nails it. I can not imagine a better format. If this had 4k resolution it would be too taxing to drive and you just don't need it.
This is literally my exact dual monitor setup at home. I have had the Samsung Odyssey Oled G9 for about 5 months now. I had it paired with a 48" LG C2 tv/monitor. Yesterday, I bought the LG Ultragear Oled 45" to swap out the LG C2. I love both these monitors. Now I'm just debating whether or not I want to mount them on mounting arms or not.
@@galvanizedcity4981 I currently have a bias towards the Ultragear bc it's newer to me, but both are great. For watching movies and first and third person gaming, I prefer the LG Ultragear. It's 800R curve is really immersive. For web browsing and strategy games that support super ultrawide, I prefer the G9 oled due to it's higher pixel density and ease of use for multiple windows. I do wish the oled g9 had the 1000r curve of the other mini led g9's. I have the previous 49" g9 at my work office and the 1000r curve so much better than the 1800r curve of the oled version. But the oled g9 isn't nearly as heavy and bulky, which is a bonus.
@@wolveslands6701 I prefer the LG Ultragear for most gaming and media consumption. The Samsung is better for productivity with it's higher resolution and more horizontal screen capital. Both are great for web browsing.
@@wolveslands6701 The really good thing about the Ultragear is when you are watching theaterwide movies, they take up the entire screen and don't show the letter boxes. It makes watching movies much more immersive.
i bought the lg. i like the 21:9 more than 32:9 picture. also i do worry about burn in. makes me nervous with wat it cost. but i did play a game for 12 hours striaght with no issues wat so ever. also like the screen clean that oled comes with i think that helps. great video btw.
I suggest get wallpaper engine, you can set moving wallpapers and also moving screen savers. On top of that I believe the LG has a function built into the monitor regarding moving pixels to protect against burn in
I disagree with your productivity comment. The 49" G9 is a great productivity monitor because the reduced vertical height makes it less fatiguing on the eyes at normal distances.
Depends on how you sit. The horizontal width of the G9 afford windows to be placed side by side. With a low curve, it means you often have to turn your head to multi task. With the LG, I suspect it is less head turning and more head bobbing. The LG will definitely however be more immersive whereas the G9 is short but wide.
I just picked up the LG 45". I previously had a 4k OLED Auros monitor and I can say this LG monitor is super nice. The curve of this monitor I thought would just be a gimmick but coming from a 48" 4k flat panel (16:9) I can say that the curve along with the 21:9 ratio is much easier to take in and it also adds to the overall experience quiet a bit. My previous 4k panel didn't have Gsync but had Freesync pro and was able to force Gsync through compatibility purposes. With that being said I noticed a fair bit of quality issues that were extremely noticeable due to not being fully endorsed by Nvidia. In short if you enjoy Gsync please make sure you pick a monitor up with it fully supported because I noticed a huge difference in quality. OLED being the way that it is I always prefer a cooler monitor and with the matte screen (unpopular opinion) I prefer that. I find that nothing more distracting than trying to game and there's a huge glare on my screen. I've noticed zero issue with faint colors or less "pop" of color with it. Finally going from 4k down to 1440p I thought I was going to notice a huge difference in quality but honestly I don't. I have a 14th gen i9 cpu and a 4080 gpu. I can say with larger monitors I do prefer to get those frames and this thing being 2.25x less pixels helps me drive those framerates home. I don't think you can really go wrong with the LG. For any game that doesn't use 21:9 with OLED you get the inky black borders and the screen is still 27" so it's really a non issue for me. Media consumption was something I was worried about but once again within 10 minutes I was not even noticing the bars and was just enjoying the monitor again. My views on this monitor might be skewed as instead of paying 1700 for this monitor I was able to find an open box of this for around $950 which to me after using this monitor is an amazing price for what you are getting. Hope this helps someone trying to make the hardest decision of a monitor. Always remember after your computer is built the monitor is like the most used piece of hardware you can buy for your setup and in my opinion should be a very important part of your setup. Cheers!
@bebetob2325 he mentioned in the reading that it helped him get the framerate where he wanted because it was lower resolution. He also mentioned it didn't bother them because the trade-off for the framerate was worth it. It's not in those exact words, but that's what he said.
Excellent video! The overheating thing isn't something I've seen anyone else bring up P.S: just a small thing, it's always better to have your PC higher up off the ground as it reduces dust build-up inside the case
There's plenty on Reddit. Most RUclips reviewers don't mention it because they don't use it for long; just for the review. There's one other channel that mentions it also - Pete Matheson.
If you get the (g93sc) instead of the (g95sc) you dont have as much of a problem. The 95 has a chip in it for the smart features and gets much hotter than the dumb 93 version.
Nice review, there are so few reviews comparing these two! I ended up buying both and returning the LG and keeping the G9. I absolutely loved everything about the LG, it was almost the perfect monitor. The screen size was perfect and super immersive. It was the matte screen that sunk it for me. I'm actually mad at LG for it, its like they designed the perfect monitor and someone at LG said "hmm what can we do now to ruin it? I know put on a matte screen!". It completly 100% ruined the OLED experience for me. If they ever bring out the LG at the same size with a glossy screen I'll go for it. Until then I took it back and got the G9 and am much happier. The OLED experience on the G9 is much better in my opinion, like night and day.
I have booth and can confirm this that u say. The glossy finish is something else on g9 side by matte on LG. Cant belive what a difference is that, and also PPI is really low on LG. The text is much sharper and cleaner on G9 OLED. Also the peek brightness and color production is better on G9 OLED. Only that I miss on G9 is format that is not supported wide on everything and that is reason why I keep LG also cause watching TV, youtube or browsing is a lot better experience on 21:9.
I was planning on using my Playstation 5 & Xbox Series X console's on the Samsung G9...but I wasn't aware these monitors will only play console games stretched out or with black boarders on the side's....THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO, YOU JUST SAVED ME $1700.00😂😂😂😂...I'm planning on upgrading to PC Games in the near future so I will grab the Samsung indeed later in the year....great video & your home gaming set up is a BEAST🤘🏾😲🤘🏾...well done👍🏾
I have both monitors, the LG is really terrible for reading and it looks more like an IPS panel because of the matte coating (its blurry) you also see it in games. The monitor makes a horrible zooming sound because it has cooling fans. The Samsung is a way better choice it looks amazing in games and reading in office content is a lot better then the LG. The only thing i dont like the slow menu.
Great review! I have the G9 OLED but are you able to use the split screen with one computer if you have two cables? Id like to play games on one side while my twitch chat or any other stuff can be on the other side.
if I am understanding your question correctly then yes. However, you won't get the full benefits of the monitor from my reasearch. Worst case you can simple use other 3rd party software like PowerToyz to make certain regions a certain size so in your case 1/2 and 1/2. Then maybe do borderless gaming window which will snap on the right or left depending what you prefer.
Hi like you setup! Can you tell me how you install caster on your secretlab table? Which caster and where u bought from? Please let me know thanks a lot
Great video on this comparison! You put a lot of detail and have confirmed the monitor I am getting this week which that being the Lg oled 45. Both rn are actually on sale at best buy the lg is 999 with plus membership which is 50 bucks so 1,050. The samsung oled g9 is 1,099 on amazon rn so both very similar priced and much more affordable!
Could you elaborate further on how bad the g9 OLED monitor is when used for productivity on a mac? If it’s like having 2 x 27” displays at 1440p each, then pixel density is 110ppi which is the standard on non retina displays. Mac OS scales perfectly to that resolution so I’d expect texts to be as sharp as on any 27” monitor with 2560x1440 resolution. I intend to use it with my Mac Studio m1 (resolution is supported) but want to be sure I can get very clear texts… I’m going to use it for both coding and office work. Thanks!
Nice video. What white and black wide storage/shelf unit is that below your 49" monitor? I am looking for something exactly like that. Speakers on each side. Thanks :)
This has HDMI 2.1 which will let you max out the 240hz refresh rate on the monitor if the graphics card in the PC will allow it. You can use DP or HDMI to unlock the max refresh.
Hey there can you advise? I need a monitor for home working (I'm not a gamer). The 45GR95QE's screen height is perfect at 454.66mm but I need something slightly wider than 993.14mm ideally around 1200mm like the Samsung G9. Problem with the G9 is the height is only 365mm which isn't suitable. Is there such a curved monitor out there? The Odyssey Arc 55' is too expensive. Thanks.
So what exactly does that mean about amd sync only on the g9 So that means 7900XT? I’m about to build a simracing set up and soon building my first gaming computer and I was opting to get the 57” g9 over the 49 and would that have the same issue
As a software developer. I need extra vertical and horizontal space at a readable resolution. 4k monitors text is too small at native (unless its huge). I personally think 21:10 1600p is the sweet spot and wish LG had an OLED of that.
bro have a question about a lg monitor .Am from india as a creator i need a 2k or 4k monitor . so am selected some models one of them is lg 34wq75c-B curve monitor ..is that good for me? in india its priced 49k rs thats mean 603.34 usd ..
Excellent video! I've enjoyed gaming on both of these monitors and ended up sticking with the LG 45". Both are Top Tier Gaming monitors and both have their pros/cons. That said, the 21:9 aspect ratio is supported by every pc game I've played lately where as the 32:9 wasn't an option on a handful of titles. Also, I enjoyed the increased viewing area (top to bottom) offered on the LG even with its lower ppi density and the 800 curve is perfect on a screen of its size. I would prefer a gloss screen but the colors still "pop" regardless. It's a great time to be a GAMER! 💯
I'm testing out both of these at the moment. Games look good, but video looks horrible on multiple modes,And with Game mode on and off, also on the Samsung, when I have Game mode turned on the screen keeps flashing black when I play Call of Duty and Then ends up giving me an error (only w hdmi, tried multiple 2.1) DP works...Is it just a lemon? using sam ultrabook 4 high spec model
I got Mini LED of G9 + tried OLED G9 + new 57 inch G9 mini LED..... And I also own LG 45 OLED... Out of all I will pick the 45 inch OLED tbh, because it's aspect ratio is more supported + it's resolution have more chances of hitting 240hz than others + you can use DSR to improve clarity making clarity an issue of the past tbh, DSR works really well in this monitor, as for Media Nvidia have upscaling option in setting which also works amazing.... The curvature was an issue for me before I bought it but after using it, it's perfect amount of curvature!!!! I don't want less or more... I sold my Mini LED G9 after getting this tbh and didn't buy new G9 models despite they were my first choice after trying all of these new monitors before making a decision and glad I went with the LG
I went with the G9 OLED (from a Neo) and am currently wishing I went with the LG. Mainly because my unit has issues including that very bad heat glare. If the LG has a glossy screen and slightly higher PPI, it will absolutely dominate the G9 OLED.
@@aleXtreme_ it doesn't, the matte screen not affecting picture quality unless it was viewed from sides slightly but head on, it's not noticeable at all.... As for clarity, it's really overrated issue, today we have DSR and media upscaling and they work very very well.... Infact you have more chances of hitting 240fps due to lower resolution
@@midandre I mean if that’s enough of a discount to get you to purchase it, then by all means go for it. It might not get any cheaper for Christmas but then again I can’t say forsure.
I got one recently for much cheaper. You can ask Samsung for a discount if you ask them on their site. There should be a big black week/friday discount as well. Which country do you reside in?
Just got the G9 but would have preferred LG, if it had built-in speakers and the 480hz refresh rate the smaller monitor has. It's almost perfect plus it has more input sources so I'm looking forward to adding a LG too if they get those features
well the center point when you checked it oled are either on or off so you touched the black area on the screen of course it would be cooler. lol try doing a full screen image
The Samsung g9 (g95sc) get much hotter than its non smart equivalent the (g93sc). Mainly due to the chip it needs for the smart processes. I got the (g93sc) because I wanted a monitor not another smart tv, and considering burn in has an increased chance of happening with more heat I figured it would be the better option. This is a great review and comparison, great work.
Get the 45 trust me you will crave the extra height after using the 32:9. If they just made a 49in 21:9, that would be the winner between both. 32:9 can be annoying especially when games don't support it and the squished feeling.
Yea I just left bestbuy. I went in with full intentions of purchasing the G9 but after I seen the LG I couldn’t pull the trigger. I seen the hight difference and it made the G9 look too short. Now I’m stuck doing more research until I make up my mind
I like them OLED G9 for it's hybrid nature but I'm a bit worried about the displays overheating issue in the long run. If I had to take one, it'll have to be the Ultragear for longevity since these are expensive monitors.
- Some games don't support this resolutions and you will have black bars *Shows both games I know of that do support it..* :D But a nice video , you have my like sir!
I didn't see you mention this but the odyssey oled g9 has 7 million pixel 1 million below 4k. the lg has 5 million pixels. Pixels per inch are significantly lower on the lg 82. Pixels per inch on Samsung are 108 which is ok for production work.
Bro why can’t you make a honest review about your opinion on them! Instead of just reading the specs anyone can find online, why be a shill for these companies make real reviews get more views and genuine followers
You did get some facts wrong about both display technologies. WOLED and QDOLED are both VERY resistant to burn in due to not needing to push more power to the pixels to achieve a higher perception of light compared to standard OLED panels- and both Samsung and LG have implemented screen care technology to pixel shift static elements to help prevent burn-in in the first place. Both displays have their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage with WOLED is that it produces a more rich Red compared to QDOLED which can be perceived as more Orange. So far, there has not been extensive testing of both technologies - so making blanket statements like you did @ 8:47 can be a bit misleading to the consumer. Any OLED-type display will be susceptible to burn in. It all is dependent on the monitor's ability to do the proper "oled care" Also, with the G-Sync / Freesync part of the video @ 12:33 - it would be a good idea to mention that any "Freesync Premium Pro" monitor will be compatible with Nvidia Gsync capable cards.

I'm actually mad at LG for it, its like they designed the perfect monitor and someone at LG said "hmm what can we do now to ruin it? I know put on a matte screen!". It completly 100% ruined the OLED experience for me. If they ever bring out the LG at the same size with a glossy screen I'll go for it. Until then I took it back and got the G9 and am much happier. The OLED experience on the G9 is much better in my opinion, like night and day.
Yea that matte screen definitely took away from the OLED glory of that monitor
I have booth and can confirm this that u say. The glossy finish is something else on g9 side by matte on LG. Cant belive what a difference is that, and also PPI is really low on LG. The text is much sharper and cleaner on G9 OLED. Also the peek brightness and color production is better on G9 OLED.
Only that I miss on G9 is format that is not supported wide on everything and that is reason why I keep LG also cause watching TV, youtube or browsing is a lot better experience on 21:9.
Thanks for this. Great review of both awesome monitors.
Thank you and yes they absolutely are! :)
Thanks for this information and comparison. I don't play games on, I'll only use it for trading and productivity. Good video 👍
Amazing review, you touched upon things I didn't even consider like game support
Where do you get your wallpapers?
Which monitor would you recommend for productivity if you should pick a 49" to replace 2 x 27" setup?
I was planning on using my Playstation 5 & Xbox Series X console's on the Samsung G9...but I wasn't aware these monitors will only play console games stretched out or with black boarders on the side's....THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO, YOU JUST SAVED ME $1700.00😂😂😂😂...I'm planning on upgrading to PC Games in the near future so I will grab the Samsung indeed later in the year....great video & your home gaming set up is a BEAST🤘🏾😲🤘🏾...well done👍🏾
I have both monitors, the LG is really terrible for reading and it looks more like an IPS panel because of the matte coating (its blurry) you also see it in games. The monitor makes a horrible zooming sound because it has cooling fans. The Samsung is a way better choice it looks amazing in games and reading in office content is a lot better then the LG. The only thing i dont like the slow menu.
Has anyone ever told you that you sorta sound like John Leguizamo? Or is it just me? Grat Video.
Very nice video very clear instructions
Much appreciated 👍
Thank you
Just because you are cool I subscribed 🎉
OLED G9 here! proud owner. I love this monitor man
A beautiful super ultra-wide forsure!
Great review! I have the G9 OLED but are you able to use the split screen with one computer if you have two cables? Id like to play games on one side while my twitch chat or any other stuff can be on the other side.
if I am understanding your question correctly then yes. However, you won't get the full benefits of the monitor from my reasearch.
Worst case you can simple use other 3rd party software like PowerToyz to make certain regions a certain size so in your case 1/2 and 1/2. Then maybe do borderless gaming window which will snap on the right or left depending what you prefer.
Love your content! Keep it up :)
Is the Lg monitor good for music as well ? For recording
Hi like you setup! Can you tell me how you install caster on your secretlab table? Which caster and where u bought from? Please let me know thanks a lot
Great video on this comparison! You put a lot of detail and have confirmed the monitor I am getting this week which that being the Lg oled 45. Both rn are actually on sale at best buy the lg is 999 with plus membership which is 50 bucks so 1,050. The samsung oled g9 is 1,099 on amazon rn so both very similar priced and much more affordable!
Thanks my man! and yeah they're both discounted a lot right now. It's definitely a great time to grab one :)
What do you prefer for EA FC?
what kind table are those? im looking for new table .. tnx
great review bro!
Where can I find this wallpaper? 13:49
Hey, what size desk is your G9 sitting on ? I’m trying to decide what would fit better between secret labs 58 & 70 desk
so whats your suggestion for a 49inch monitor for productivity?
Could you elaborate further on how bad the g9 OLED monitor is when used for productivity on a mac? If it’s like having 2 x 27” displays at 1440p each, then pixel density is 110ppi which is the standard on non retina displays. Mac OS scales perfectly to that resolution so I’d expect texts to be as sharp as on any 27” monitor with 2560x1440 resolution. I intend to use it with my Mac Studio m1 (resolution is supported) but want to be sure I can get very clear texts… I’m going to use it for both coding and office work. Thanks!
Which one you got? Lg or G9 for Mac? I need one to use with Macbook pro. Which one is better ?
Nice video. What white and black wide storage/shelf unit is that below your 49" monitor? I am looking for something exactly like that. Speakers on each side. Thanks :)
did you just check the temperature of the screen on a part that is turned off?
May I ask where you got the black desk from and how long it is? Thx!
Good morning 🙏 I enjoy your channel 😊 So now you've tested which is your GOto monitor for 100% gaming ?
I appreciate the love for my video :) I use the 49" mainly for all my gaming at the moment but may be switching soon.
How deep a desk is recommended for the 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 to be very usable?
A 45-ös LG jó lehet munkához? CAD vagy Excel? esetleg videovágás. játékra nagyon jó, de munkához jó lehet e?
this is the one ive been waiting on currently considering one of these about to watch
Thank you for being honest bro unlike other LG sponsored people 👍
Just ordered G9 oled upgrading from a neo. Should I use HDMI or DP for the oled? On the neo it was DP to get the refresh rate
This has HDMI 2.1 which will let you max out the 240hz refresh rate on the monitor if the graphics card in the PC will allow it. You can use DP or HDMI to unlock the max refresh.
Thanks for the reply but which is better? I’ve always used DP - I have a 4090 so can do either.
@@jamesrendle6514 I use HDMI 2.1. Just use whatever is most convenient when you’re setting it all up
It’s only because I saw HDMI 2.1 can transfer data faster, the micro HDMI supplied is so short so may look at getting a longer one for near cables
I got flickering artefacts using DP on the G9 OLED. On HDMI, the flickering went away and the colours look more vivid and brighter.
Dope setups!
Hey there can you advise? I need a monitor for home working (I'm not a gamer). The 45GR95QE's screen height is perfect at 454.66mm but I need something slightly wider than 993.14mm ideally around 1200mm like the Samsung G9. Problem with the G9 is the height is only 365mm which isn't suitable. Is there such a curved monitor out there? The Odyssey Arc 55' is too expensive. Thanks.
The G9 just pops!
Can you sahre your monitor background, its soooooo dope!
So what exactly does that mean about amd sync only on the g9
So that means 7900XT?
I’m about to build a simracing set up and soon building my first gaming computer and I was opting to get the 57” g9 over the 49 and would that have the same issue
what is the game at the beginning on the screen?
lg hight kinda good actually, but to expensive!! i picked up the G9 for 980 on Amazon on sale!!!
What are the good alternatives for someone uses his Monitor only for Office Work?
As a software developer. I need extra vertical and horizontal space at a readable resolution. 4k monitors text is too small at native (unless its huge). I personally think 21:10 1600p is the sweet spot and wish LG had an OLED of that.
bro have a question about a lg monitor .Am from india as a creator i need a 2k or 4k monitor . so am selected some models one of them is lg 34wq75c-B curve monitor ..is that good for me? in india its priced 49k rs thats mean 603.34 usd ..
how tall in inches is the 45 versus the 49?
Bro for day trading which will be better in these?
When 4 K 32" and above OLED will come out with response 0.3 ms and 240 refresh rate?
Buddy, you better answer what kind of video the camera is filming you? The picture is wonderful!
I work 8 hours a day and work from home. And I also game late in the evening. Do you prefer the LG ultrawide
I like your videos and shorts.please also give more gaming setup idea...........and biggg fannnn😁
Much love brother!
Hello, Thank You For Sharing. Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed.
Do you think bigger than 32 is a poor choice for primarily gaming?
I had a G9, got an UltraGreat and went back to the G9 Odyssey.
Excellent video! I've enjoyed gaming on both of these monitors and ended up sticking with the LG 45". Both are Top Tier Gaming monitors and both have their pros/cons. That said, the 21:9 aspect ratio is supported by every pc game I've played lately where as the 32:9 wasn't an option on a handful of titles. Also, I enjoyed the increased viewing area (top to bottom) offered on the LG even with its lower ppi density and the 800 curve is perfect on a screen of its size. I would prefer a gloss screen but the colors still "pop" regardless. It's a great time to be a GAMER! 💯
Well said my man! :)
Good video!
I'm testing out both of these at the moment. Games look good, but video looks horrible on multiple modes,And with Game mode on and off, also on the Samsung, when I have Game mode turned on the screen keeps flashing black when I play Call of Duty and Then ends up giving me an error (only w hdmi, tried multiple 2.1) DP works...Is it just a lemon? using sam ultrabook 4 high spec model
What are the specs on ur PC
I got Mini LED of G9 + tried OLED G9 + new 57 inch G9 mini LED..... And I also own LG 45 OLED...
Out of all I will pick the 45 inch OLED tbh, because it's aspect ratio is more supported + it's resolution have more chances of hitting 240hz than others + you can use DSR to improve clarity making clarity an issue of the past tbh, DSR works really well in this monitor, as for Media Nvidia have upscaling option in setting which also works amazing.... The curvature was an issue for me before I bought it but after using it, it's perfect amount of curvature!!!! I don't want less or more...
I sold my Mini LED G9 after getting this tbh and didn't buy new G9 models despite they were my first choice after trying all of these new monitors before making a decision and glad I went with the LG
Glad to hear you found the one that works best for you! :)
I went with the G9 OLED (from a Neo) and am currently wishing I went with the LG. Mainly because my unit has issues including that very bad heat glare. If the LG has a glossy screen and slightly higher PPI, it will absolutely dominate the G9 OLED.
Hi, I do not display DSR. You use DP 1.4?
LG is low res for the size and has matte screen.
Both of these qualities ruin the PQ
@@aleXtreme_ it doesn't, the matte screen not affecting picture quality unless it was viewed from sides slightly but head on, it's not noticeable at all.... As for clarity, it's really overrated issue, today we have DSR and media upscaling and they work very very well.... Infact you have more chances of hitting 240fps due to lower resolution
is the Odyssey OLED G9 worth it now on Black Friday for 1599€ or should i wait till Christmas?
How much is that discounted by? Doesn't seem like very much
@@midasgamespace 10%
@@midandre I mean if that’s enough of a discount to get you to purchase it, then by all means go for it. It might not get any cheaper for Christmas but then again I can’t say forsure.
I got one recently for much cheaper. You can ask Samsung for a discount if you ask them on their site. There should be a big black week/friday discount as well. Which country do you reside in?
i bought mine from Samsung Spain for 1290 euros + the s6 lite tablet offer
Wait I can use two different input sources on the G95SC? I thought that it couldn’t do PBP like that.
If so I feel like I just bought the G93SC for nothing.
Midas FTW, the exact monitors I am looking into
Just got the G9 but would have preferred LG, if it had built-in speakers and the 480hz refresh rate the smaller monitor has. It's almost perfect plus it has more input sources so I'm looking forward to adding a LG too if they get those features
Biceps lookin good brotha
wallpaper?
well the center point when you checked it oled are either on or off so you touched the black area on the screen of course it would be cooler. lol try doing a full screen image
The Samsung g9 (g95sc) get much hotter than its non smart equivalent the (g93sc). Mainly due to the chip it needs for the smart processes. I got the (g93sc) because I wanted a monitor not another smart tv, and considering burn in has an increased chance of happening with more heat I figured it would be the better option. This is a great review and comparison, great work.
Get the 45 trust me you will crave the extra height after using the 32:9. If they just made a 49in 21:9, that would be the winner between both. 32:9 can be annoying especially when games don't support it and the squished feeling.
Yea I just left bestbuy. I went in with full intentions of purchasing the G9 but after I seen the LG I couldn’t pull the trigger.
I seen the hight difference and it made the G9 look too short. Now I’m stuck doing more research until I make up my mind
@@LightStrife94 same here! What did you end up getting?
@@SuperUnderWorld666 I ended up going with the Samsung. It looks amazing with games that support super ultrawide.
which one is your fav midas
I like them OLED G9 for it's hybrid nature but I'm a bit worried about the displays overheating issue in the long run. If I had to take one, it'll have to be the Ultragear for longevity since these are expensive monitors.
- Some games don't support this resolutions and you will have black bars
*Shows both games I know of that do support it..*
:D But a nice video , you have my like sir!
lg 45 or samsung g8 ?
About time someone showed some real games on these monitors
I didn't see you mention this but the odyssey oled g9 has 7 million pixel 1 million below 4k. the lg has 5 million pixels. Pixels per inch are significantly lower on the lg 82. Pixels per inch on Samsung are 108 which is ok for production work.
I like the LG for the 21:9 format. And the bigger curve.
I wish it was glossy though.
I have the 45in LG. Best image quality I’ve ever seen. Samsung one is way too thin.
u don't compare PPI ( pixels per inch )
Bro why can’t you make a honest review about your opinion on them! Instead of just reading the specs anyone can find online, why be a shill for these companies make real reviews get more views and genuine followers
You did get some facts wrong about both display technologies.
WOLED and QDOLED are both VERY resistant to burn in due to not needing to push more power to the pixels to achieve a higher perception of light compared to standard OLED panels- and both Samsung and LG have implemented screen care technology to pixel shift static elements to help prevent burn-in in the first place.
Both displays have their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage with WOLED is that it produces a more rich Red compared to QDOLED which can be perceived as more Orange.
So far, there has not been extensive testing of both technologies - so making blanket statements like you did @ 8:47 can be a bit misleading to the consumer.
Any OLED-type display will be susceptible to burn in. It all is dependent on the monitor's ability to do the proper "oled care"
Also, with the G-Sync / Freesync part of the video @ 12:33 - it would be a good idea to mention that any "Freesync Premium Pro" monitor will be compatible with Nvidia Gsync capable cards.
