Samsung - Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC)

Games that don’t support ultrawide just display in the center of the screen in a standard aspect ratio, with just black on both sides for the rest of the screen. Since oleds can display a straight up black, it really isn’t a bad thing. Also, I have the g95sc and use it for similar work to cad, Google fancy zones in powertoys if you don’t know what that is. You can partition the screen into zones you create and snap your applications into them Main gripe would be screen sharing, I have a portable 16” screen that sits straight on my desk solely for this purpose (great for housing email, chat and reference docs outside of sharing)

I have the G95SC and I love it. I imagine they're pretty damn close in specs. It took me a few months to get used to the width verses being a little narrower horizontally. But now that I have, sitting at a 'normal' monitor just feels ... wrong. And I decided quite a while back it's OLED for me from now on. Anyway, yes, highly recommend, just prepare for a few months of getting used to it.

I can't speak for other monitors, or how mine compares, I just know that I absolutely love my Samsung OLED G9 49” OLED (G95SC) on every level. I can never go back to non-OLED, ever. That's probably the biggest technological jump that I can't go back from, and you don't need your monitor to be ultra or superwide for that. But then the size - I'm a gamer, so it changed my game. What I can see, field of vision-wise, in a game like Arc Raiders, or Battlefield 6, is outrageous. It will be really hard to get a jump on me! On the business side, not having the ability to have multiple documents or applications open is also something I'd find it near-impossible to go back to. There is a caveat, you have to get used to the new size. Literally having to move your head to see something 'over there' is new. In the case of my monitor specifically, you trade a bit of vertical for the horizontal. I didn't love that at first and still wish I'd gone with a model that kept them both uniform. But got used to it. After 2 years, no burn-in, no dead pixels, Samsung knows how to make screens. Gets a bit hot though. And then you need to have a graphics card that can send ALL the pixels to a beast like this. In my case, I went with an RTX 4090, and I can run pretty much everything at Ultra, 1440p. Getting 140+ fps on the games I mentioned before, no sweat. On less-intensive games, I push 200+ fps easily. Anyway, big fan of my monitor. Will replace with another ultrawide eventually.

There's something wrong with your pc because I'm getting sexy frames on my G9 with a 4090.

I am too. Same monitor. 4090. Battlefield 6. Close to 200fps.

I can only warn you about listening to all the instant Alienware recommenders - I've had three replacement units and only problems. No problems with Samsung actually.

As a Samsung G95SC (1800r) owner, I don't recommend this monitor. While the picture is great and the immersion of the 49" screen is awesome. There is an ongoing issue with these displays power. They will randomly cut off and back on and its hit or miss if they will not recognize the input. Then you have to cycle through menus to get it to work. Ive been through 3 of them so far in the last 12 months. There is a reason they are so heavily discounted. Edit: I saw you will be doing most if not all productivity. Then you DEFINITELY don't want an OLED monitor. Burn in IS a real thing and will happen very fast with static images. Honestly, check out Deco Gear's monitors. I use the DGVIEW495K which is a 49" 1500r and I love it for my WFH set up. It does have PbP so running both setups like you want should work. Been daily driving it for about 1 year now and have had no issues

I'd strongly advice not to go for OLED for productivity, did that myself few days ago and it's a big mistake (at least for my eyes). text is crazy blurry and will give you eye strain like no other. Looking to switch into IPS or VA and keep G9 oled for gaming only (it's amazing for that, an absolute beaut). I'm considering something like U4025QW or superultrawide Dell Ultrasharp for productivity right now myself. Not going to get rid of g9 but I can't work with it. At least try to get a good look at it somewhere where you can compare it side to side.

1800R yeah. g95sc I have understood it has to do with the structure of oled screens, such as https://www.flatpanelshd.com/pictures/qdoledpixel_1_large.jpg showing it in action. Some don't seem to struggle, others do. That's why I'd recommend everyone to first compare before making the decision. I would have but more or less impossible in my location so went for it. I don't regret it however, first time I fired up Cyberpunk I was totally amazed, but have to find another screen for prodictivity, no way around it.

On the second setup, I went, just this year, I went from 1. AW3423DW (1440p 21:9 165hz)- loved it and had had it for a few years but had just got a 5080 for this setup, so wanted to push it 2. AW3225QF (4K 16:9 240hz) - beautiful screen but didn't really like as the single solution from a productivity standpoint so returned it. Missed the larger aspect ration from a gaming standpoint. Also the 1440p to 4K, I honestly couldn't really really tell. 3. G95SC (1440p 32:9 240hz) - Overall a great screen but it took up too much desk space to be fairly impractical for my use-case, in the place that I had it. Sold it. 4. AW3425DWF (1440p 21:9 175hz) - went back. Best of both worlds. Thought about getting the AW3425DW but after experiencing quite a few screens now, I'm a firm believer in extremely diminishing returns once you get past the 165hz point - it didn't seem worth double the price. My endgame is that 34 5k2k 240hz thats on the LG panel roadmap for next year. That one will tick all boxes.

I have \- Samsung 49" OLED (setup 1) \- LG 45 5K2K with a vertical 34" LG 4k 240hz OLED next to it (setup 2) \- Samsung Neo 57 (technically wifes lol) If its productivity primarily, I would 100% recommend the 57". It solves your height concerns of the 49. It also won't have any burn in issues if you keep a lot of static windows up for work. If you don't game, I don't really see a ton of benefit of the OLED. That said, its a huge monitor so know what you're getting into. I'm actually not a huge fan of the LG 45 for productivity. Yes it has great PPI but I find that I can only comfortably have two windows open side by side. Three windows side by side is too crammed, and four squares I find is too small. Its why I added the vertical 34", but even then, still not happy. Now I find its too much screen (1st world problems) all over the place and I constantly have to turn my neck side to side then way up the the vertical. All of them have compromise. Right now, I think I have two end game paths 1. The 5K2k 240hz 34" OLED panel LG is rumored to launch in Q1 2026 and flank that with two vertical 27" monitors on each side. Insane PPI across every screen without neck strain. or 2) an OLED version of the 57" Samsung Sorry I got off track lol - by the 57 for your usecase

I bought the samsung g95sc and returned because of the UI and random black screens while gaming. The main reason was the ui/os.

I just got my G95SC and I'm totally stoked with it. I had a lot of interference causing things at my desk so I had to rearrange a bit so I could use a shorter DP cable, but it was worth it.

Used an Acer Predator Z35P for about 3yrs; 34" 21:9. Fast lost it's novelty as an upgrade from 4k 16:9s. Got the Samsung G95SC, had for 1yr so far; 49" 32:9. Major upgrade, love the image quality and responsiveness, issues I have include not enough height, annoyance at not enough curve (edges feel miles away) and those damn finger marks (from the kids, honest). My use case is as a software dev, gamer, and light design work. I run 2 27" 2k monitors at the sides in portrait, pretty much facing each other and provide that immersion when working, they're redundant when gaming. Games I love it for; WZ, LoU, CP2077, WoW, DaysGone, Civ6.

STAY AWAY. HAD the g95sc had constant Annoyances with os... not to mention panel RMA. I couldn't be happier getting rid of it.
