![The First SUPER UltraWide 144hz IPS Monitor.... Holy Moly! 😮 [LG 49WQ95C Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0w_4ajT5Tsw/mqdefault.jpg)

"it's about as wide as a 55" TV while at the same time being only half as tall"
yeah but the price is still twice as much and the picture quality is about 1/8th of an OLED of half the cost or even less
the pixel density is pure shit even on the G9 evo and it costs as much as buying 2 top end 55" LG OLEDS ,(C1 or G1) and it's only a shit VA panel , with barely any local dimming zones , I think it has like what 8 whole LED's LOL
the light bleed is absolutely horrendous and they have flicker issues up the yin yang
don't get me wrong I am totally sold on ultrawide but no 4k and no IPS or OLED ,horrible black levels horrible light bleed ,non existent dimming zones that are so bad you just need to turn the feature off completely, dull washed out colors ,screen door effect especially for productivity and all at double the premuim price of similar width TV but at half the height are all pretty big deal breakers for me , the sad fact is the picture quality still looks like complete ass but then again it does with 99% of computer monitors these days. I known the second I buy the G9 they will make huge improvements and this thing will look ridiculously outdated in 3 years time, especially since these are already pushing 4yo
just buy an LG C1 55 OLED and cut it in half, voila .
I mean seriously you could get a 55 OLED and cover the top end with black construction paper and have way better monitor for the half the price or the G9 evo just set the resolution to use the bottom half of the screen only , I feel like I am paying twice and getting less than 1/4
b.b.but muh refresh rates, yeah that still does not justify the price increase to me
bendable OLED monitors are just coming out now the corsair one that goes all the way to 800R and it is the same width and speculated to be about 1300, Samsung is supposed to come out with a motorized version of the corsair basically
and Samsung is playing games with the prices , it was $908 in my cart then it went up to $989
I sign on into another account and add the monitor again and it is $908, then it jumps up to 989 if I don't check out right away,
Whats the specs of your pc? I have a 21:9 1440p ultrawide and my 3080ti gets toasty, to say the least, on sth like control with max settings and 151fps
btw windows 11 got the zoning template u use by default
is your keyboard & mouse wired or wireless ? if so is it Bluetooth ?
@@andreamitchell4758What did you end up buying? Are you happy with it? And why? Can you give the specs and the price if so?
Love your feedback and insights and the down to earth way you share your thoughts. I'm convinced and added this to my shopping list for Black Friday. Thank you.
This is the practical example I've been searching for. I like. Thanks.
Pro tip for FancyZones- if you shift+click and drag over the line where zones are split, the window will resize to include all those zones. So you could, for example, take the setup you have now and also bisect the screen horizontally and have six zones. Now, by hovering over the lines you get the same functionality you had before, plus space to make smaller windows with ease.

I LOVE THIS MONITOR! It has MANY problems (I have the OG non mini LED one) but they are outweighed by the quality of life and productivity boosts for me. BY FAR!
Using one 49" monitor since the beginning of COVID, as suddenly I was at home and did need to do a lot of programming for my internship aswell as not being able to travel for a while, and till this day I don't regret it at all. Started studying again after that internship, and I work so much more efficient due to this monitor.
for engineering work, having a drawing, a checklist, and a spec up at the same time would be amazing
Love FancyZones. I started using it the day I got my ultrawide. I went from dual 24" to a single 32" curved ultrawide.
Oh my goodness fancy zones is a game changer THANK YOU!!!!!!
And, on the topic of D&D campaigns: it doubles as a very high-tech DM screen, too. 🤓😂
Ooh hoo
I can't even get this thing in EU, the cost of shipping is too damn high
You always come with Best tech content . Thanks mark .
it's been more than an year (I believe) since I subscribed to this gem of a channel and it never let down my expectations... always a great content ❤️
Yes. I daytrade FUTURES and I need 3 charts visible all the time. The 49" makes it heavenly. I can have browser plus the executing software for my futures properly dispersed and no congestion.
This is how im using my 49 ultrawide too! except i never heard of fancyzones before so thank you for that! :D
I once bought a similar ultrawide monitor. It was a big mistake. I couldn't play any of the games I played before. Even if the games were running on this custom resolution a lot of the action from the left and right side of the monitor were way outside viewing angle. Most of them games were distorted on this resolution and the gpu has to calculate a lot more pixels for no reason at all. Movies were a nightmare and I had too much desktop space that I didn't knew what to use for. Now I use a 1080p 24 inch monitor AGAIN and I am super happy about it.
Just one?
Yep. Dual monitors is way better especially if you game. I tried a single 49" screen.. ended up selling it. Only good thing is that you dont have a bezel in the middle and less wires lol
Great for work, not for gaming
@@mateo1726 what?! A monitor like this screams gaming!
Wow, I didn’t know there such a wide monitor available. Thx for sharing.
I have actually over the past year or so been considering one of these monitors. Thanks for the review! Probably going to wait for now on the purchase.
Yeah waiting is the way to go I agree
I totally agree
Just ordered a 49 monitor myself, the taskbar on the side instead of the bottom is a great idea. Will try that myself.
Have thought about one of these. For me, I use three monitors, and use them independently of each other while running sdr radio software. These large screens sure are clean
I also use the ultrawide for radio software. currently using HRD, WSJT, and Gridsquare and the same time. Its very nice. 73 de W5RSC
I honestly cant believe your gaming on this full monitor! I went 34" ultra wide and I honestly wouldn't go any larger as I find my head rotating a lot back and fourth already!
same - love it...great review/overview
Had mine for 3 years, Its a game changer!
Thanks. Gonna try Fancy zone over LG's Onscreen Control.
Thanks. Great info! Cheers!
Never knew about the powertoys/fancyzones, thanks mate!
I was not aware of fancy zone. I am thinking about buying this monitor. Thanks for the info
I agree, now just waiting for the 55" version of the same monitor.
loving my new ultrawide. solid video!
This has opened my eyes. Am thinking about buying a gaming pc to run Microsoft sim and I think a screen like this would make it an awesome experience
Its fantastic for sim games!
Thank you!
0:25 my words as well after i got myself a G9 Neo. This thing is just insane for both gaming and work.
Well done, thank you.
Very cool in GAMING mode. I just purchased a 28" 4K monitor. Editing in Premiere and other apps are so much better now!!!
I have the Gigabyte FV43U and I love it, I used to run two monitors and speakers and a work laptop and gaming machine.
Thi monitor is 4K at 144Hz and has inbuilt speakers and KVM so I can just switch on which computer and go. The big benefit is I have reduced the extra equipment on my desk. I havent used Fancyzones and will give it a try.
When I brought my car up to the front of BestBuy to load my CRG9 into my car, the store manager came out and told me how much he loved this monitor. I was pretty stoked to have him come out of his way to tell me how much he loved a monitor. Once I got home and got it hooked up I was blown away at how functional by being able to change the amount of screen one input gets if you need to do a dual screen setup. I liked it so much that I went and got a 2nd one, one for work and one for personal!
I bought the 49” Dark Matter from monoprice for $750. 120hz and 5120x1440 with a Samsung panel. I think the discontinued that version and switched to a different panel. Its been great no issues, I did find the stand to be to big like your review so I went with a monitor arm. I agree I could never go back to two screens!!

Friggin AWESOME!!!!! New Sub Cheers from Western Australia
I run a CRG9 49 and yes like you I am never going back but it took a long time for me to resolve the "older games" issue. Whilst there are several work arounds for displaying various games on an ultrawide that were not made for it I have found a rather odd but oh so useful option in the GForce Experience utility, yes an actual use for it other than advertising. True this only works for games with optimised drivers by NVidea but that covers nearly all of my gaming catalogue. In the home tab (where it shows the games) select the game you want under details, then click the spanner next to the optimes button, in the pop up window that appears select he resolution you want to use from the drop down and also select full screen. This for the games I have tried it on forces a full screen experience like watching a movie with the black bars either side, any attempt to do this ingame will break this so it still isn't that useable but it has worked for me with Skyrim and Fallout4 and gives better looking results for Halflife 2 than the in game options which work but have edge distortion.
I went with the Ultra Wide Alianware 38" about a year ago and i just love it, i will never go back
This is worth considering. After years of 2560x1440 WQHD 27" and now 32" I can see the benefits of the 49" ultrawide although my 32" gives 393mm of screen height, good for big documents. As I use it for work (spreadsheets, emails, other systems, videos, I would need to check if my laptop supports it.

This is a great breakdown
Thanks for the input. Order a Neo G9 to use with a new system equipped with a 4090 GPU and Intel 13th Gen i9 CPU. I also ordered two Neo G7s to check out 4K. Not sure I will need 4K, and hoping the Neo G9 works as advertised.
Your channel is the only channel that I watch for tech reviews
I have considered one of these for years. I actually ordered one a couple of years ago and then ended up canceling the order. I definitely would go with a 1440 version though. 1080 is too low (I don't game so for productivity 1440 is much better). I also currently am running a 34" wide (2560x1440) so I'm used to that vertical pixel density (paired with a 27). Watching this makes me want one again.
Ultrawides are incredible, can't recommend them enough!
@@bm_wuratli6883 speak human
@@bm_wuratli6883 replaced yesterday my 27inch asus rog strix xg27uq 4k 144hz with the samsung odyssey g9 paired with a 3090ti 12700k system. Cant even go back to 4k despite its 27inch ,too small after playing bf2042 fifa 22 f1 22 on ultrawide.
have you seen the QHD?
it's still too low, it looks like garbage, I just saw the G9 next to the G9 evo there is hardly any difference, the evo looks a bit brighter , but they both looked washed out they both have screen door appearance ,low pixel density, there is no way the evo's price is justified the G9 is the best value when it is on sale for it[s lowest price of 999 or $900 but still WAAAAY overpriced for the extremely poor picture quality
I have an old Sony vaio haswell ultrabook from circa 2014 ,this thing has a 13" IPS Sony triluminous display and after using it all these years every single time I look at any other PC monitor they all look like total shit to me , even at 6" I can not see a single pixel ,even if I lunge forward to 3"
the blacks levels and contrast are amazing , color accuracy and color brightness are outstanding
and viewing angles are near infinitely perfect , of course I can't game on it and not even sure what the refresh rate is but for video and productivity he picture quality is not even close to any monitors I full size PC monitors have seen , OLEDs are advancing at a rapid rate and so are mini LED's and QD TV's
these PC monitors are like 6 years behind the curve and speaking od curves we has curves OLED TV's like 10 years ago when the industry gave up on them though now I am hearing they are bringing them back ,also the curved OLED TV's used to be cheaper than their flat counterparts because that is the default state of the panel when it rolls off the fab, they have to flatten them for the flat TV's.
They are selling crappy VA panles that not only don't have any local dimming (unless you count the whopping 8 zones on the G9 ) but have no mini LED tech for backlighting, the backlighting in these monitors is in the dark ages and it shows ,it's worse than in a 10 year old bottom of the barrel wulmurt special BF door buster TV, I just got a C1 OLED with 120hz , 240 is ridic but I much rather have 4k ,higher pixel density and an amazing picture as opposed to something that looks like a CFL backlit LCD from 2010 , I love the 32:9 but come on step the game here we are not going to pay these premium prices for low pixel density VA panels with crap backlighting
it should be about $600-700 tops for a good 1000R 32:9 4k OLED at 120 or 144hz
when you consider that LG can deliver a 55" panel with the same specs for $1000 on sale that is twice the height of these things and when you consider that that is for flat TV and OLED come off the fad curved and it takes more time/ money/resources to flatten it out .

I had considered going for a super ultra wide monitor for my new PC setup, but went for a regular ultra-wide instead to save on costs. For ~€550 (found it as well for $550 in the US on amazon) got a 34" 144Hz 1ms 3440x1440 (21:9) curved monitor and I'm honestly extremely happy with it. You still need a beefy GPU for a monitor like this, and the productivity benefits are a bit less; but still, the 21:9 is so nice for regular use as well as for gaming and I don't think I'll ever go back to 16:9.
So, if you are considering this but don't want to spend a fortune, consider scaling it down a notch, as you still get a lot of the benefits from an ultra-wide at less than half the price.
unless u have a gpu to push it, its not worth it
What brand or model is the monitor that you bought ?
I got a Dark Matter 49" for $850 on Amazon. (looks like they're not on sale that low right now), and it's such a huge step up coming from 2x 1080 monitor setup.

Or add a 27" next to it and you have even more real estate than super ultrawide, with many benefits
I have a similar monitor as this a picked up back in 2018 and still using it today, Samsung CJ89 which is 43" at 32:10 (3840 X 1200 resolution) and to this day still my favorite monitor, I noticed the Odyssey series are awesome but now in 2022 I am entirely in love with the Samsung Odyssey Ark which certainly won't be cheap at all, just waiting to see on the specs and certainly the price. It is going to leave a big crater where my wallet used to be.
Odyssey G9 user here. the productivity definitely changed once you start using 49"
That 3 way split at 1:42 is absolutely the way to go 🔥
38 Inch Dell '21 model here. UW for life!
I have a 49inch ultrawide. However mine is the 144hrz 5120x1440, and everything looks AMAZING on it. Honestly after getting one, I could never go back to having 2 or 3 monitors on my desk.
I got the CRG9 and I couldn't go back to anything else either. I upgraded from a 32 inch monitor. Gaming on it is an experience that everyone should experience.
Same here. I started with the G7, then brought the CRG90G over the G9 (too curved). Best overall monitor ever for me - fantastic for mega excel workbooks, great for gaming. I run a 3080 so can handle the resolution at High for most games
I use the Philips 499ph - 49 inches diagonally and 5120x1440 but only 60hz refresh. I don't game so refresh rate isn't important to me. It works very well for documents and watching films and I'd find it hard to go back to my old setup. The curvature comes into its own with monitors this wide as the corners are closer and you're not viewing them at such an angle.
I have one at work and I absolutely love it
I’ve had the Samsung 49” G9 awhile now and by far the feature I love the best is connecting two computers to it and invoking Picture in Picture mode which you can use to give each computer half of the lcd and then you can full-screen each computer on it’s own side. This configuration is huge when it comes to studying, having an available lab computer right there and for developers. Awesome!
But can you also virtualize a separate display for games that just run better in actual full screen?
I would actually love this feature
Yup an the electric bill is awesome too :)
@@nerolowell2320 I’d say powering one is better than two.
Finally split screen co-op for all your pc games
Had one for 2 years now, 49" . Best monitor ever for gaming. As long as GPU can render that size. Any 2070 GTX and up can easy.
wow thanks for sharing powettoys , thats what i need now
Thanks!
Thank you!
I bought a 60 inch TV plugged it with my PC and have never looked back. That was 20 years ago. I might add the Ultra Wide though, that's dope
I used to love Fancy Zones, and in a way I still do, but with Windows 11 build-in support for multiple windows is so good that I almost forget about FZ
My ultrawide arrives in a few days. Your tip about fancyzones was very useful. Have an upvote/like!
I have one of these for work. My dad saw it and asked if I had given up on life. It's so awesome.
Nice. I need to try one of these widescreens.
I have 3 x 40in monitors and 2 x 24in monitors on top all on the one pc.
I find the separation great as I do VR dev and coding. No gaming.
But maybe a widescreen above 40 in screen. lol.
I love the looks of this one, and it was also on sale and very tempting not so long ago 😅 ... but since my 3x27" setup works the wonders I need, and I mostly work with text files, I am happy with my current setup. I have a curved 34" for the field work, and it might look insane dragging it around, but it almost feels like being in my own office (rather than going around with one 27"). All said, curved ones are a thing of beauty, and especially come in handy for gaming etc. But for office use, I'll stick with my triple setup for now ... (*trying to convince myself into not buying one big one* 🤣).
Although ... 49" would look amazing on top of the triple setup (*stop it*) 🤣
hahaha@@pavli33
what's you current set up brands
I Bought Samsung G9 Odyssey, and OMG i love it. I use it for gaming purposes, and while some games does not support resolution like that, it's still an insane experience. It's hard to find good wallpaper though, so i have to crop and make them myself, from images i like, most of the times.
It doesn't need that much of a monster GPU as people tend to think. Pixel count is similar to 27" 4k monitor, so it needs similar power. I use 1080ti and it seems like enough to get 100FPS on most games.
i fully agree with never going back ; i'm updating and looking for high res and well i will end up with the New 57 inch 8K from Samsung now
I get my UltraWide HDR Samsung Oddessy G9 48.9 inch, very soon. I am excited to test it out in person
I looked into ultrawide monitors when I last upgraded, about 2 yrs ago. I love the idea, but was unwilling to give up vertical resolution. I ended up with a 32" 3840x2160 4K, and it's great. Hopefully ultrawides will be available in ultraresolution in time for my next upgrade.

@@maxxtechvideos7966 you missed the point of the poster....a 5180x1440 is still only 1440 vertical, which is why they like their 2160 vertical resolution of their 32". Vertical resolution needs fixed on these ultra wides, they are too narrow vertically
@@jamesw71 Except on a 2160p 4k monitor you are only seeing half the amount of things on screen in things, where as a 5120x1440 you are seeing twice as much horizontally, and the same as a 4k screen vertically.
Work in support for video switchers and video production gear so I have to do some office stuff and a lot of production stuff. since working from home (COVID), I got the Samsung Oddessy G9 back in mid-late 2021 it is the best thing I have bought for any part of my job. Music Production Streaming and Gaming. I find myself making ways to have all my machines work with one monitor more efficient than having 5-7 monitors on my desk at any given time.
This is the monitor that I wanted! My gamer husband convinced me that 49" was too big and a 34" ultrawide was more than enough. I work from home and use my ultrawide for AWS, and I really could have used the extra real estate that the 49" ultrawide would have provided for all the programs I use in AWS.
I got one of those and still manage to fill up my screen with icons. It could stand to be a little taller. I love it though. I cant even see myself using anything else. I'm already looking to get the new model with higher frequency.
As a game developer, this is the BEST 49" review for those who know they need it! Thank you
I got 2 of these in a custom stack mount and i love them
When you factor in the true 10-bit color depth without FRC and compare it to a dual monitor setup with similar specs the cost difference suddenly is much more negligible. The new CRG9 is an absolute productivity beast...
I have the LG 49 inch ultrawide coming early next week and the monitor arm for it already arrived. I can't wait!
Which monitor arm are you using? :-) And does it work fine with the LG 49?
Ergotron HX monitor arm. It’s not cheap, but considering how expensive the monitor is, I wanted to make sure it is safe. And it has worked perfectly :) no regrets
@@romeopahati Thank you :-) Can you move it in all directions with one hand? Does it have to be mounted on the back of the desk, or could be mounted on the right side?
*_If you play MOBA games, you get the advantage of seeing your enemies approach earlier with this ultrawide._*
*_Many isometric RPG's also get this benefit from an ultrawide._*
Just installed an Ergotron HX arm today. Great investment but make sure you have a vesa mount adapter located that comes with your screen (that was an ordeal finding one for the older CHG90 model).
This size monitor + higher resolution + passive 3d would be interesting for gaming. Cherry on the top would be trackIR style head tracking to correct the camera perspective.
that jump to D&D earned you a like brother
Love your videos man
Much appreciated! 👊
So I bought the BenQ EX3501R 35" curved monitor about 2½ years ago at about 900 bucks.... and I simply love it.
Its a 21:9, 100 Hz, 3440x1440 monitor and the colors, viewing angle and contrast are simply phenominal.
I use the monitor as both a gamer and as a coder. Just opening Visual Studio on this monitor is a bloody joy ever time ;-)
I love this video. This monitor seems like a life-changer. I couldn't help notice the setup of your mouse and keyboard. If you're looking to improve life with the PC even more I suggest a more ergonomic setup if you haven't tried it. It's worth trying a keyboard wrist pad. I recommend Glorious PC Gaming Race. And if you want to take a healthier step further, give the Evoluent vertical mouse a try. It takes some getting used to but your future wrist and hand will thank you.
Welcome to the Ultrawide master race!
Ahh another man of distinguished taste, using the triple zone setup... I have the predecessor of the Odyssey the LC49RG but it's 1440p. Fancyzones was amazing when I found it and makes a 32:9 montior a productivity monster. But as a gamer myself I took it a step further using StartAllBack to split my taskbar in two giving me full vertical resolution in the middle. I then wrote my own software to maximize windowed games into this area and remove the window borders (hit me up if you'd like to try it). So now I can chill playing games in full 16:9 2560x1440 whilst having comms and web browser etc. open on either side.
I do sometimes game in 32:9 and it's very immersive but performance takes a hit and the peripheral areas are not really in your field of view anyway.
I got the G5 for now. But this one is definitely on my list.
I LOVE my 30" 21:9. I wanted a 32:9 but I couldn't afford it. But yea, ultra and super ultra wide's are awesome.
I bought a regular ultra-wide. I only use it for work. So having one side with my source like a work order or picture and one side with my report makes a huge difference. It makes copying information over very easy and seamless. No hassle setting up and leveling 2 monitors and it was cheaper than 2 monitors.
what do you mean regular ultrawide - like 34 inch ultrawide ?
@@coolmanu55 he means a 21:9 ultrawide
I run the G9 model, can't say enough great things about it.
I have it and love doing CAD work. I wanna get better in screen management. I believe that I am not using my screen to the best of its ability.
Only downside is presentations. Powerpoint needs a way to "present to window" so you can see Presenter view and the presentation side by side (and share the latter)
Spot on with needing a high end card to make use of this monitor for gaming. I had a 2080 super when i first got my 1400p g9 (5120x1440) and it just wasn't keeping up. I ended up retiring the monitor and went back to 16:9. Eventually I upgraded to a 3080 ti and now the G9 is my daily driver.
Can I game using a smaller zone of the screen and maintain performance vs using the entire screen (presumably more taxing)? I'm fine with games at the 16:9 or similar ratio and even in 1080p. 49" ultrawide is alluring for productivity and still being able to play games.
Oh my god I need one of these 😅
It would be awesome for gaming
That's my dream monitor for Tweetdeck.
It looks cool
Taskbar on the right makes sense on 16:9 monitors, been using that for last 13 years.
