Our Verdict
LG 49WL95C-W
Samsung Odyssey G9
The LG 49WL95C-W and the Samsung Odyssey G9 are very different despite having the same size, resolution, and aspect ratio. The LG is a productivity monitor with a basic 60Hz refresh rate with no VRR support, while the Samsung is more gaming-focused, with a 240Hz refresh rate. The LG has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, but it isn't as good for dark rooms as the Samsung because it has a low contrast ratio. The Samsung delivers a much better HDR experience because it has a wider color gamut and gets a lot brighter in HDR.
