Bro, your setup is just fire! 🔥 Love the minimal but functional design!

Good video! thanks for being upfront about the sponsorship brother!

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!

Burn in is 100% more pronounced overtime with heat involved on individual pixels - excellent video!

Great video, quality information in comparison here. Nice background too! Where did you get it?

Thank you so much for doing this. I am currently in this situation. Definitely earned a subscriber here.

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

Amazing review! Thorough and objective!

this is the one ive been waiting on currently considering one of these about to watch

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 KZfaq). 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.

love your videos like always keep it up man ❤️

Amazing review, you touched upon things I didn't even consider like game support

Thanks for this. Great review of both awesome monitors.

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!

Love your content! Keep it up :)

Thanks for this information and comparison. I don't play games on, I'll only use it for trading and productivity. Good video 👍

Let’s go! Awesome video man! Ngl I absolutely love my Samsung G9 😂 for both gaming and coding 🔥

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.

Which monitor would you recommend for productivity if you should pick a 49" to replace 2 x 27" setup?

Hello, Thank You For Sharing. Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed.

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.

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.

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

I like your videos and shorts.please also give more gaming setup idea...........and biggg fannnn😁

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 :)

Thank you for being honest bro unlike other LG sponsored people 👍

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 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.

Hi! Can you tell me how deep is the desk you have the G9 on?

Can you sahre your monitor background, its soooooo dope!

I had a G9, got an UltraGreat and went back to the G9 Odyssey.

May I ask where you got the black desk from and how long it is? Thx!

Hey, what size desk is your G9 sitting on ? I’m trying to decide what would fit better between secret labs 58 & 70 desk

I work 8 hours a day and work from home. And I also game late in the evening. Do you prefer the LG ultrawide

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!

Where do you get your wallpapers?

OLED G9 here! proud owner. I love this monitor man

What are the good alternatives for someone uses his Monitor only for Office Work?

what are the desk accessories under the G9 so clean

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!

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

Buddy, you better answer what kind of video the camera is filming you? The picture is wonderful!

Midas FTW, the exact monitors I am looking into

lg hight kinda good actually, but to expensive!! i picked up the G9 for 980 on Amazon on sale!!!

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

Great video bro. Was wondering if you plan on making a cool tech Christmas gifts video. Kinda struggling with figuring out what to get for PC gaming, and really just cool tech in general.

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

Do you think bigger than 32 is a poor choice for primarily gaming?

When 4 K 32" and above OLED will come out with response 0.3 ms and 240 refresh rate?

This video is sponsored by LG. LOL right off the bat. This won't be biased at all.

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.

- 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!

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 ..

What do you prefer for EA FC?

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.

what kind table are those? im looking for new table .. tnx

Where can I find this wallpaper? 13:49

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.

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 like the vertical height of the LG. But would luv to have that same height with a 49 inch._

Wait I can use two different input sources on the G95SC? I thought that it couldn’t do PBP like that.

Nice, I think I'll go with the 45" LG.

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

how tall in inches is the 45 versus the 49?

good luck bro, ver interesting video. i have one question from you. Boh of those monitors have same resolution......x1440 in height, does not matter in lenght , of course samsung is longer. I am talking about height 1440. why are they looking different than each other in height , lg looks taller than samsung in height, but it is said both of these have same resolution in height ...x1440. tell me the why?

which one is your fav midas

is the Odyssey OLED G9 worth it now on Black Friday for 1599€ or should i wait till Christmas?

I’ve been using the Samsung oled g9 for a while now primarily for sim racing. The Samsung g9 is known for just turning black for 2-3seconds randomly, Samsung is aware of the issue but they’re just not doing anything about it. Save yourself the headache and go with anything else.

Keep the game up

What are the specs on ur PC

I'm sorry but I'm waiting for the new QD OLEDs(3rd generation) and WOLEDs that they will present at CES 2024, 32" 4K 240Hz flat, aspect ratio more supported in games, glossy coating, 1300 nits of peak brightness(vs 1000 of current generation) and display port 2.1, lower cost since the panel is smaller, I don't really like super ultrawides (32:9) they take up too much space, in addition to this if I want to play with friends the curvature is not the best for a good viewing experience.

Id pick the LG mostly because it supports G-SYNC, ive heard its hit or miss with Free Sync if you're using an Nvidia GPU.

wallpaper?

lg 45 or samsung g8 ?

I'm waiting for WhoaLED.

For my opinion gaming on 2k when the monitor cost very high it's just not worth it, the details differences between 4k to 2k is very noticeable, if you have the money and the high end pc that can run 144hz 4k it's no brain for me. BUT I can say this, the 21:9 ratio gaming is truly fun and immersive experience for gaming, so 21:9 4k when the pc will support it, this is the ultimate experience.

A nice review, I have been a PC gamer for over 20 years and I would like to add in for people that have never gamed with the super wide or ultra wide, my last 2 monitors was the native 16:9 1440p monitors, sadly at this Christmas I treated myself to a new Samsung Odessey G8 Oled, the monitor is great for gaming but I also like to watch youtube, tiktok and do some photoshop work and let me tell you after only 4 months I hate my monitor, ultrawides are only good for gaming, everything else they suck, watching a movie sucks, so after shelling out 1200 pounds I am trying to sell mine and go back to the native 16:9....

Touching the panel with that meat thermometer triggered me so much! haha

u don't compare PPI ( pixels per inch )

The smart bs on the OLED G9 creates more issues than anything. I always had issues with the screen flashing black, and also not coming back on when I selected the pc. It was annoying af, so I sent it back and went back to my Neo G9 which looks close to as good as the OLED.... Wasn't worth the cost to upgrade.

I wish a have a comfortable setup fr

a comparison sponsored by one of the compared? how are we meant to trust theres no bias?

Does the LG have the ability to be a smart TV like the Samsung?

I think color in g9 is more beautiful than lg

That LG Ultra Gear is no buneo. Because it has a very low ppi. But the 27-inch LG Ultra Gear Oled has a higher ppi. The Samsung Odyssey I had , but I traded. I dont like that you can watch movies at that resolution to take up the display. To me, for 2500, you should be able to watch everything at the full display. There should be no black bars ever!! That's rent money for a monitor. But the whole Samsung interface is terrible, in my opinion. I have a high-end pc and still can't get 240hz.

Qled is not OLED, we are talking about two different technologies.

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.

Ni siquiera la NASA tiene toda esa tecnología en sus oficinas, my friend.😂

Exchanged 3 LG 45 OLEDS, all had defects and pixel issues. Now i'm waiting on the OLED G9.

57" Samsung Neo G9 walks into the chat... Sup Rookies. 😂

5120X1440 has more pixels

Samsung or LG?

that 45 inch is just too curve for me. 1000r curve will make it perfect

1440p in a 45" is hilarious, imagive paying thousands of dollars for a 82ppi monitor

Sad to see pc on the floor

🎉

Smart Monitor is frustrating. Stay away and pick no smart

Bro... Can you donate me your GPU ?
