FPS averages 120 at medium settings in iRacing. My FOV is 80-degrees, butI honestly wish I had more visibility to see the side view mirrors. I say go with 57” if you can.

I have two of them, it’s disappointing they don’t use DisplayPort over usbc but that’s my only complaint.

Ah I think you’re looking at a non oled one sorry, not sure if that’s the same but I assume it would be. I have two of the OLED ones in different offices. Some monitors you can plug in with a single USBC cable and charge your laptop as well as send video and audio for display. These G9’s as far as I’m aware don’t support that functionality so you’re stuck using an hdmi cable or getting a pricey thunderbolt dock to provide the one cable functionality. Also everything I’ve read says pay the extra 100 dollars or so and get the OLED version with a more relaxed curve

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

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.  

It may be Picture in Picture or otherwise like that. Samsung G9 has this functionality built in. I used mine as dual screens for most work with no center bezel and better viewing angles.  Make sure your usb-c or HDMI outputs can support multiple monitors at high resolution though as well. You may need a proper docking station to support this properly. 

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.
