Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NA S49AG95
Samsung Odyssey OLED G9/G95SC S49CG95
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9/G95SC S49CG95 is a newer version of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NA S49AG95, and both monitors use different panels. The OLED G9 has a QD-OLED panel that lets it display much deeper blacks in dark rooms with perfect black uniformity, and it also has better motion handling. On the other hand, the Neo G9 uses Mini LED backlighting that gets much brighter, but the OLED G9 still delivers more vivid colors. One difference is that the OLED panel on the OLED G9 risks burn-in and has text clarity issues, so if you need something for productivity use, the Neo G9 is the better choice. However, the OLED G9 is still better for watching multimedia content and gaming.
