Samsung - Odyssey G7 G75F (LS40FG75DENXZA)

Funny enough I'm considering the 40" for home for gaming and want to use it to replace my 49". I prefer the vertical space to the horizontal. The added horizontal on the 49 isn't worth the lack of vertical for me! But, I also know that because I have a 38" I use for work so I can see what a 40" would look like. I currently have my 49" listed. Just my 2 cents since I have screens of similar sizes to both to compare it to.

Where did the list come from? This was provided from your employer, or you generated this based upon the budget allowed? If you are staring at this for work.... well..... I would take a screen that will make that easier, and gaming second. The new Samsung 40" 5k2k is pretty nice (even though it's a VA panel).

Have a G9 49" OLED stacked on top of a 57". Contemplated going with the 45" LG as a replacement, but to be honest, the 57" is pretty amazing. I'm actually going to switch out the 49" OLED for the new Samsung 5k2k 40" since I mainly use it as a secondary info monitor. My issues for the 45": the curve for productivity is too much.... and for a 1300 to 1900 dollar monitor, it should have had KVM and a better DP built in (only supports UHBR13.5). TL;DR: I would go 57" for productivity >= gaming. 45" if gaming >> productivity.

The display itself of the 49" is top notch. The "smart" software is absolutely annoying, with a very annoying blue screen reminder when about to sleep, and reminders about smart home BS all the time. I only use it as a second screen thankfully, so I'm not hit with some of the other owner's frustrations. Also the 49" only has a dumb USB hub; KVM should be a no brainer at this price point and intended use.

Nope. Hence why I'm taking mine back today and trading it out the the 40" 5k2k Samsung that was just released.

it is not actually. It's a VA panel (albeit a good one apparently.)

What are you going to be using it for? If you are going 32:9, then the 57" is a no brainer. If you are going 21:9, then either the lg 45" 5k2k, or the Samsung 40" 5k2k, depending on budget and curve pref.

The only VAs which I would bother even considering are Samsung VAs because Samsung is the only manufacturer who managed to figure out how to solve black smearing and slow response times and even then its the top end Samsung Odyssey models.

Id vote samsung, 1000r is awesome and I trust them more then asus.

I recently went through this when upgrading my screen about 6 months ago. Do I want an ultrawide? Absolutely. Would I design on an ultrawide? No I would not. Most ultrawides have too aggressive of a curve to be suitable for design work in my opinion. If it's a mild curve >1500R it might be okay. I tried experimenting with a 1000R Samsung and just couldn't hang with the amount of distortion. I ended up getting a non curved 32" 16:9 4K instead. It's right at the edge of what I consider comfortable as far as seeing the far edges of the display. I do absolutely love the increased real estate of using a smaller GUI scaling.

I can’t go back from 49’. I bought a MacBook to work when I’m away from my desk but could not gel with the small workspace and so much scrolling…. I started with 34 on the path of Ultrawide with the predator x34 and the all the Samsung odyssey monitors. I look forward to LG’s 5k2k monitor.

Yeah you'll be fine, I'm running an odyssey and it smashes anything I throw at it. And I think my processor is a little slower than yours. Oh and my gpu too 😂

Har Samsung Odyssey og opplever ikkje at den dimmer automatisk. Det er litt bug med HDR der skjermen av og til er mørkere enn HDR skulle tilsei, men trur det er Windows sin autoHDR funksjon som roter, da det aldri oppstår i spel som har faktisk støtte for HDR eller i vanlige applikasjoner.
