Based on 1 year's data from Jan 25, 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.
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
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.
If you're leaning OLED ultrawide and don’t want to wait through another full product cycle, I’d suggest checking out the [Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 (G95C)](https://samsung-odyssey.com/S50GC-Monitor). It’s on sale right now on Amazon for $679.99 and gives you a seriously immersive experience with a wider FOV than those 34" options. Unless there’s a specific new tech you’re waiting for, this one hits the sweet spot right now without compromise.
I have the G95C, and I’m very happy with it. I use it for sim racing with my rig. I had 95SD (or something like that) with the smart features and OLED, and that went back to the store pretty much immediately. Avoid smart features. I have another 32:9 for productivity and other games. To me it’s not too wide, I really love the ability to have a lot of things avail all the time.
I just picked up a G95C for $400 from Facebook marketplace this week. The deals exist.
