Based on 1 year's data from Feb 15, 2026 How it works
I have a 49" Samsung G95SC (Non-Oled) and I use it with my MacBook M2 for (amateur) Audio Production. It works flawlessly for me with no scaling issues. There's a 3rd party program I use(I believe it's called Rectangle) that has quick shortcuts to arrange windows in multiple ways. I actually run that monitor into a 4 way KVM switch so the Mac, my work PC and my Gaming PC can all use the monitor, M&K, and my audio interface and speakers. After a little bit of tweaking during the initial setup, everything has worked extremely well for me. Edit: I should add the MacBook connects to the KVM switch via a single USB C from the [Pluggable 7 in 1 Dock](http://Plugable 7-in-1 USB C Docking... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKLT853Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share). This has it's own power supply and charges the MacBook, as well as creating an HDMI and additional USB ports. Edit 2: here's the KVM switch for those interested 4 Port HDMI KVM Switch 4K@60Hz,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJQHVC3K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I scored this for sub 500 when my employer discount https://slickdeals.net/f/18198517-samsung-epp-edu-49-odyssey-g9-g95c-dqhd-240hz-1ms-gtg-displayhdr-1000-curved-gaming-monitor-470-72?src=frontpage&prop=rcmid-dbafae61488426277e1a764938909775 You may have to hunt and be patient but the deals are out there from time to time
If you’re going curved 49", I’d say go for the [Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 (G95C)](https://samsung-odyssey.com/OLED-G9-G95C), dual-QHD ultrawide, 240Hz, OLED panel with crazy contrast. It’s actually on sale on Amazon right now too.
Nice pick with the Odyssey G9, that 49″ curve is insane for gaming and multitasking, basically like having two 27″ monitors side by side. For a second monitor, something like the Samsung G5 32″ works well for Discord, guides, or media while you game. I’d go with the G9 centered and the G5 angled to the side in portrait or landscape, and grab a sturdy arm for the G9 plus a lighter one for the G5 to save desk space. With your 63″ desk, that setup should fit nicely.
I have the Samsung G95C 49” with 1000R curved monitor. Very happy with
[https://a.co/d/00Fq4tlC](https://a.co/d/00Fq4tlC) You mean this deal? Currently 749 on Amazon. Honestly, great deal. I've had mine for a couple years and love it. Wish I could convince my boss to buy me on for my office at work.
I've had the QLED since late 2021 and its phenomenal. I'll go for the OLED at some point probably, but its still a great monitor.
I know in the G9 you can do PIP mode so that 2/3rd is one “monitor” and the other third is a second “monitor”. I do it like that to play games on the big one, then have discord or wiki etc on the small side. Game plays in full windowed full screen and has a proper cursor lock and whatnot.
Thanks. I went with Odyssey G95C as it's on sale. I can fit 3 windows comfortably but need to get used to Fancy ones.
I said screw it a and got a 49" - OMG my life had been changed for the better! 49" Odyssey G9 G95C DQHD 240Hz 1ms(GtG) Display HDR 1000 Curved Gaming Monitor
I’m a lawyer and spend much of my time with three or four side-by-side windows. Just recently switched from two 27” 1440 monitors to the Samsung 49” G95C, which is 1000R, 5120x1440, VA display. I love it enough I bought one for home and one for the office. I have no text clarity issues. I went from ISP to VA.
Samsung has VA panels. G95C. A gamer would prefer the OLED. VA has no burn in risk so is better for office work (I don’t game).
Costco has the G95C (VA panel). So does Amazon. https://www.costco.com/p/-/samsung-49-ultrawide-odyssey-g95c-dqhd-240hz-curved-gaming-monitor-5120-x-1440/4000285770?langId=-1 https://a.co/d/3TNmJYe
I just got the Samsung 49” G95C to replace two 27” monitors. I absolutely love it. I split it into 8x2 grids and run 1x2 sections in each corner and three 2x2 windows in the middle. After using it for two days, I could never go back. I considered the 57” but couldn’t justify the price (I need two of them, one for the office and one for home).
I just got the Samsung Odyssey G95C for work and I love it. VA so no OLED burn in risk and can easily use 3 to 4 windows side by side. $899.99 at Costco with sales down to $749 on Amazon. I bought it from Costco (actually two of them, one for home and one for the office) even though more expensive because if there are issues I can deal with Costco instead of Amazon.
Check your store, mine did not have them in the store so I ordered it online. It's a beautiful monitor.
Samsung G95C. It’s a 49” VA panel so no burn in risk. 5120x1440. It’s line two 27” monitors fused together. I can easily use 3 or 4 windows side by side.
Went through the same thought process last month. Mine was for productivity. I went with the G95C because text is better on the VA panel vs the OLED and I wanted zero burn in risk. I have zero regrets. The G95C is great for productivity; get the VA, not the OLED.
I have the Samsung 49” (model G95C - the VA display). I too use three or four documents side by side (I’m a lawyer). Run it with a 14” MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I have no issues with text clarity.
Last month I switched from two 27” 1440 monitors to a Samsung G95c (49” 5120x1440). It easily does three to four windows side by side. No need for secondary screens.
sorry i was incorrect the g95c is 699. the g91f is the one available for 650. I have the g95c. Honestly i run oleds all throughout my house but the racing sim is the only one i dont run oled. I dont feel like its missing much, i used to run it on a 65 a95k qdoled and 43 c3 oled and honestly there is a difference of course but while im racing im never thinking damn i wish this was oled. i think its good enough. Just be wary I was offered some sort of best buy gift card from [samsung.com](http://samsung.com) for purchasing and picking up from best buy but they didnt honor it. Its the 2nd time they didnt honor their promotion so i wouldnt bank on extra incentives besides the discount for AAA
Like the others said here, your monitor is too far imo. I have the same one above my wheelbase and its decently immersive. Maybe try that first!
49. triples cost about the same as getting an samsung g9 tbh so if you had th space, go triples. triple 27s even, probably take up similar space to the 49. Im someone who has the 49.
I have the Samsung 49" VA panel one and I don't care what anyone says about it not being OLED. It's amazeballs. I work from home 1-3 times a week and I game on it for hours every day. It is amazing. I was considering the 45" LG 5k2k for a while, but I kept hearing about problems and I'm still worried about burn-in. Not so with this one.
