Our Verdict

LG 49WL95C-W

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NA S49AG95

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NA S49AG95 and the LG 49WL95C-W are different types of super ultrawide monitors. The LG has a focus on productivity, so it has a less aggressive curve, making it easier to share your screen with others, and it has wider viewing angles. The LG also has a better selection of inputs like a USB-C input. However, the Samsung is an ultrawide gaming monitor with a much higher 240Hz refresh rate and VRR support. Its VA panel has a better contrast ratio, and it has Mini LED backlighting, which allows it to get brighter and have good local dimming.
