Have a Samsung 49 Neo G9 which is a 32:9 aspect ratio. After owning it for 2yr now I am going back to 21:9. 32:9 monitors are too wide and you lose A LOT of vertical space. They are good for RACING games but terrible for other genres. Yes, they are good for FPS competitive shooters but you lose vertical view. I like the LG 45 OLED which is 21:9 and they will released a higher resolution next year, so I will change my Samsung for the 45 21:9 which has far more compatibility for more games as well.
My biggest issue when I had a 32:9 display was literally every game was stretched on the edges of the screen, completely ruined any immersion the extra space gave me
45" 21:9 with the full 2160p vertical resolution. QD-OLED gen 3 panel 240hz, DP 2.1 UHBR20 with a glossy or semi-gloss finish. Shutup and take my money I'm not buying another monitor for 10 years!
Hey Jesse :) Short question: How did you connect the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds to your PC and second, are the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds good for gaming? I am thinking about getting them as well for my setup. Thank you :)
now compare the odyssey neo g9 57'' to these you can run that at 3840x2160 @ 240hz without black bars its max res is 7680x2160 32:9 update I see you did a video on it already I love this monitor I don't think I would switch to anything else unless we get 5120x2160 @ 240hz oled next year at 45'' or at least the samsung 57'' g9 neo in oled
I need the comparison between the LG vs the Samsung 57, I'm getting a new monitor and can't decide between this two, one is larger the other one is oled. Can't make up my mind 😅😅
Yeah, it's tough, I'm currently testing out both, both are great, but I don't like that many games don't support 32:9 and it just leaves black bars on the sides, also no movies at all support 32:9, same black bars. I could be Ok with it, but when watching or playing the same stuff on the LG 45 inch, it fits the whole screen perfectly and it becomes much bigger than the same stuff on the samsung with black bars. On the other hand, there are some games that support 32:9 and it does look great, although I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff. But productivity is better on the samsung, as you simply have more space for windows and it's like a big wide canvas, so I would say samsung is better for productivity, LG is better for entertainment.
Thank you for the vid Jesse. I have been researching ultrawides for work. My work entails reviewing medical, making reports, working with spreadsheets and research items on the internet. I currently use 2 27 inches monitor and one 32 inch and my laptop screen. Which one would you favor for that type of work?
I think the Samsung 57” ultra wide would work best in your scenario. I’ve been a professional engineer for over 3 decades, so in Excel daily since 1992, & viewing CAD, and having browser windows open extracting info from databases etc while also having email open constantly for monitoring and comms. Up to around 2008, we only had single monitors, but I bought my own 24” monitors around 2008 to use at home AND at work, so became very used to a multi monitor setup since that time frame, and when we went from desktops to laptops, that meant I usually had 3 screens available. I took a very early retirement a few months back, but have been contemplating the Samsung 57” ultra wide for personal use, if I’d still been working, I would have bought the Samsung 57” for sure by now. The Samsung 57” for productivity use like yours would be great, because it’s not just the size and form factor, it’s also the resolution on that monitor. Only reason I’ve so far held off buying the 57” is because it’s colour gamut is a bit weak vs some competition, and for personal use I would be using it for video & photo editing. Also, if you look at their 49” range, it went from LCD to OLED, so I’m thinking / hoping that if I wait until 2025, Samsung might introduce a high res 57” OLED version, which might be better for colour gamut and accuracy……but, for spreadsheet type use, emails and viewing multiple browser windows, the mini LED of the current 57” version might actually be better even if they do announce an OKED version (there is no report that they will yet).
@@TheLDunn1 I went with the 49 inch. The price was too good. I had the option of returning it if I didn't like it. Fortunately I love it. Definitely upped the productive. I sure the 57 would have worked as well.
Great video! Oh man, exactly my scenario: 16:9 (a 2016 60Hz something); got serious and went straight to the G95SC (49" UW Samsung). Not exactly a mistake because I've never experienced OLED nor 240Hz before. Absolutely gorgeous, but productivity suffered at 32:9. I panicked and went back to a 16:9 (LG OLED C4 @144Hz). I missed the 21:9 all together. I swear BB is going to ban me.
Thank you for reminding me why i didnt buy this now thats its available for 750. Looks cool in the desk but... Nah to squat field of view like in watching from inside a tank
@@JohnWalz97 Yeah, for gamers, it's still more effective to use a large TV if you want 4K resolution. I currently use a LG 48" C1 which has 120Hz, but curved would have been even better.
@@blueferrari397 yeah I’m trying out the lg 48 inch oled monitor and their 45 inch ultra wide oled (the one in the video). I just can’t justify paying 1500 for 1440p when I use it for work and gaming
Thanks for watching! Let me know which one you would pick!
I brought 39gs95qe & I feel like I made the best decision of my life
@@ss304_82 Are you using it for productivity or gaming only?

@@drunkhusband6257 Yes, i bought it not thinking that would be an issue but It is. 21:9 has more compatibility to avoid that.
Bro is it for real this lg 45 will g 4k next year? I think i wanna buy this but will hold on if its going 4k confirmed next year
@@adisuryadinata819 The current model is at Best Buy, I saw it in person and looks great.

Pixel density? Sorry I couldn’t find the resolution specs. Gaming monitors OLED tend to have low resolution so text will look blurry
Love my 45" LG oled for gaming, youtube, movies, browsing internet it's worth the $$$
I hate it for movies. It looks pixelated. The games do look nice tho
Your review is spot on! Thanks!

What would be better a 49 inch QD OLED 1800R or a possible 49 inch QD OLED 1000R or an LG 45 inch for immersion?
I have a lg45 and honestly it’s better IMO
what about the resolution?
Is LG 45 has VESA 100X100? Thanks.
Yes, it is.
when resolution actually catches up to ultra wide they will be usable

I would rather future proof with my Samsung 49" Monitor which is why I bought a four year warranty. Compatibility will come over the next year.

The geo g9 is 57"
Comparison LG c4 vs LG g4 oled tv ❤
Not as wide as my eyes when I see u 👀
🤤
LG 45 is perfect 👌, samsung 49 is too much .
Talk too much. We like seeing video of the monitor while youre talking rather than seeing you talking and ur face.
Just get a larer 32:9 monitor!
Matte 😢
the 45 inch is more expensive where I live, watafak
No 4K, no buy and I can't believe manufacturers are still producing anything that isn't 4K. 1440p is so yesterday!
It’s OLED… 4k ultra wide panels just don’t exist yet. They haven’t been able to fit enough pixels to make 4k at that size possible
@@JohnWalz97 Yeah, for gamers, it's still more effective to use a large TV if you want 4K resolution. I currently use a LG 48" C1 which has 120Hz, but curved would have been even better.

@@blueferrari397 do you like your 48 in?
@@JohnWalz97 Yes, it's a great size for sim racing, but as mentioned, curved would be better.
just like all my LG TV, they all die way before Samsung TV does... so I won't put my money on LG even if the performance is identical.
for the love of god raise your damn monitor
I have both, lol! :D
