SAMSUNG AND LG dominate the OLED TV market and that contest for the ages is now making its way onto the PC. Every OLED gaming monitor you can currently buy uses either a Samsung or LG panel. So far, we’ve preferred Samsung-based screens, primarily on account of their superior full-screen brightness and reduced tendency to exhibit automatic brightness limiter-induced weirdnesses.
That bodes well for the hot new Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. If anyone can make the most of a Samsung OLED panel, it’s surely Samsung itself. In rough terms, it’s much like the numerous 34-inch 21:9 aspect OLED monitors that use Samsung panel technology, just on an even wider scale. So, you get the same 1,440 vertical resolution and 109dpi pixel density, but the 32:9 aspect ratio takes the horizontal resolution out to fully 5,120 pixels and the diagonal to 49 inches.
