Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NC S57CG95
LG 45GX950A-B
The LG 45GX950A-B and the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NC S57CG95 are both large ultrawide gaming monitors. The Samsung has a bigger 57-inch screen with a higher resolution, and it also offers more horizontal screen space thanks to its super ultrawide aspect ratio. The Samsung even has a higher 240Hz refresh rate than the LG's native 165Hz refresh rate, but the LG has a Dual-Mode feature to switch it to a 330Hz refresh rate with a lower resolution. This means the LG is the better choice if you want a higher refresh rate. The LG also has much better picture quality thanks to its OLED panel, as it displays deep and inky blacks without any blooming, but the Samsung gets brighter.
