Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC 49" Curved Smart Gaming Monitor, 240Hz, 0.03ms, Dual QHD, Neo Quantum Pro CPU, DisplayHDR 400, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Game Center, LS49CG954SNXZA, 2023
I'm using this to replace my flat 2560x1440 monitor and the screen is stuck with vertical streaks (just a yellow line at first, then a cyan line, then more and more until the glowing purple breaks the camel's back; it's iconic, different, it took me over a year to get this The bad.
So this screen has exactly twice the resolution of this screen, but with a nice curved panel. OLED stands for Vivid Colors and Perfect Blacks. Brightness went to zero, way too bright in my dimly lit room. You can install software to create virtual guest screens to make the most of the extra space (if you're on Windows, check out Fancy Zones for PowerToys - a free program from Microsoft).
I use this monitor for everyday work (mainly useful for software development) and games. In Rocket League I use the whole screen to play a fully borderless window and use a 120Hz refresh rate with vsync enabled. It's very smooth and doesn't tax the GPU too much. Pretty wild, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
As for the pixel count, it's a bit lower than a 4K monitor so the GPU and CPU can handle that just fine, but it's much higher than a 1440p panel. Sized just right for a 4-foot table, this giant screen does the trick well from start to finish.
Aside from the cost, I don't see any downsides to this screen. Since I use it professionally, I can justify the cost (it's more of an investment because it saves me money).
