Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G9 C49G95T
LG 49GR85DC-B
The LG 49GR85DC-B and the Samsung Odyssey G9 C49G95T are similar 240Hz gaming monitors with a super ultrawide aspect ratio, but the LG has a few advantages. The LG has better motion handling with less inverse ghosting, but the Samsung has less black smearing. The LG also features HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which the Samsung monitor doesn't have, so you can reach its max refresh rate over HDMI with a high-end graphics card.
