Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G9
Apple Studio Display
The Samsung Odyssey G9 C49G95T and the Apple Studio Display are different types of monitors. Even though they each have a horizontal resolution of 5120, they're different because the Apple is a 27-inch monitor with much higher pixel density and sharper text clarity, while the Samsung has a super ultrawide screen. Choosing one over the other depends on your needs, as the Samsung is better suited for gamers thanks to its higher refresh rate, while the Apple monitor has features meant for macOS users.
