Our Verdict
LG 45GR95QE-B
Samsung Odyssey OLED G85SB S34BG85
The LG 45GR95QE-B and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G85SB S34BG85 are both fantastic ultrawide OLED gaming monitors, but they have a few differences. The Samsung monitor offers better overall picture quality thanks to its QD-OLED panel that delivers brighter highlights. It also has a smaller 34-inch screen and better image clarity thanks to its increased pixel density. However, the LG has a higher 240Hz refresh rate that makes it ideal for playing games at a high frame rate, and unlike the Samsung, the black levels don't raise when you have it in a bright room.
