[@Thomas-ux7rz]

was wondering is this before or after applying icc profiles to both?

[@patrickfe6747]

Can you please cover how the graphics card handles each monitor? I heard that especially with the neo (dual 4K) there is not really a GPU that can truly handle that yet. What’s your opinion/ experience in that regard?

[@patrickfe6747]

Oh and is it possible to game in splitscreen (fullscreen with half the monitor) and have like a KZbin video on the other half (in full screen on the other half)?

[@symmetryofzero]

I've had the OLED since release and I just wish it had the same curve as the original G9. Other than that, It's the best display I have ever set eyes on.

[@zGrego]

It's been a week since I got mine and I absolutely agree. Monitor is insanely gorgeous, the only (real) downside is the curve. God I miss that.

[@tomgillotti]

Seems this has been a consistent sentiment for many.

[@symmetryofzero]

@@zGrego What I have heard is Samsung didn't need to add a curve like the original G9 because it's an OLED and you get far better viewing angles. If the original G9 didn't have such a curve, it would look washed out slightly on the left and right because of the viewing angle being less with a LED backlit display. Makes sense but I still miss it. I do find myself leaning towards the monitor to view things on the left and right because they're further away from my eyes.

[@kristofferrer]

The OLED is so superior - and there's a reason why it's not 1000R. It's versatile for non-gaming views. Also, if you're not far enough (or the right distance) from the 1000R monitor you'll have to turn your head which gets annoying when not gaming.

[@symmetryofzero]

@@kristofferrer I'd still prefer the curve of the previous model in all honesty.

[@ByteMasterPro]

I had both monitors. The NEO is the way to go if your gonna be doing stock trading, coding, or productivity. OLED is better for pretty much everything else. OLED isn’t good for coding/stocks yet because it can’t render small text nicely at high resolutions, it just looks jagged and as a result is hard on the eyes for long periods of time. Give it a few years and OLED may become the king of kings.

[@UKSpike]

I have the OLED, and I thought the same out the box - I use it for gaming but also for my day job (programming) - until I turned on HDR. Text now looks crisp as anything I have seen on any screen.

[@deanwilliams433]

I agree with this, but I think Micro-LED is going to be King in 2-3 years.

[@ByteMasterPro]

Did you do that on a Mac or Windows? I think HDR was literally the only thing I didn't try to improve the text quality. I briefly clicked enable but noticed the color profile got changed and immediately switched it off without taking a hard looking at text.@@UKSpike

[@blueshiftmusic]

I've been debating a full two weeks about the Neo vs the OLED and am pretty settled on the Neo. I mainly do web browsing and work (Outlook/Teams) with some gaming on my current monitors and the risk of burn-in is just too high for me to justify the OLED at this point, especially considering RTINGS latest video showing the risk of severe burn-in with 16:9 content after only 700 hours. Granted, OLED looks absolutely incredible and is actually cheaper than the Neo for black friday, both of which are the only things really holding me up on a solid decision, but hopefully OLED or newer tech will have solved or mitigated burn in more by the time I'm ready for another monitor purchase in 5+ years.

[@Liquidswordz56]

After having the oled for a couple days I sent it back. Yea the black levels and contrast are better but the Neo is still no slouch. As long as you sit center of the monitor which I'm sure everyone will that has one, the washed out look will never be an issue. I just couldn't get over the bad text even after trying to improve it through windows. Also, bright HDR scenes look much better on the Neo due to its mini led. If you have a Neo I would say skip the oled and wait for the 57 inch version in September with the higher resolution which I think is a bigger upgrade. For newcomers, the oled will be fine as long as you can get past the text and lower HDR brightness. Enjoy which ever you choose

[@LordCivickOG]

Dang sorry to hear that, also when it comes to the text clarity issue is this when doing productivity. When I play games and doing content creating stuff I haven’t had a issue with text. I love brightness but the inky blacks and more accurate color does it more for me on the OLED. I am hoping to get my hands on a testing unit of the 57 inch that monitor looks amazing. And hope your enjoying your Neo if your getting the 57 inch congrats on that as well 🙂

[@Liquidswordz56]

@LordCivickOG I play a lot of FF14 so seeing any text in chats or on screen was noticeable. I tried clear type through windows and it improved it very little but not enough that was fixable in my opinion. Even just web browsing was bad for me. I dunno to each their own but when I hooked my Neo back up it was like a breath of fresh air being able to read without strain. Do I miss the inky blacks and better contrast?, of course. I love newer tech like you but it's still the same resolution with better picture quality and better response. But that extra vertical height on the 57inch is gonna be something a lot of people want. Maybe I'll do a comparison vid on both Neos once it drops

[@socialreport2836]

​@@Liquidswordz56Okay, I'll be looking forward to seeing your review of G9 Neo 49" vs G9 Neo 57". It would have been nice if you had also been able to compare G9 Neo and G9 OLED.

The Neo g9 is still the better overall monitor unless all you care about is deep blacks in gaming. Which in all honesty the blacks are incredible on the Neo anyway. There are too many drawbacks of the OLED displays. If all you care about is gaming then yeah OLED is probably the way to go. But the Neo is better for pretty much everything else.

[@jasedagreatest]

[@omaior20]

I think NEO is a way to go if you want to keep that monitor for years to come. I think on OLED the first pixels to go are the ones around the edges because of the windows UI and in games it would look weird to see brighter pixels on pitch black background.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Need a re-run of this topic with the 49" OLED vs the 57" Neo and see if the higher res and greater size increase the funfactor and immersion enough to take the W over the OLED. Here is hoping to get a 57" OLED without text fringe issues and no burn in problems in a couple of years and then that will be an instant buy once the price is sane.

[@masterbuilder0018]

I'd personally personally take the 49er.

[@socialreport2836]

57" will win, there is a review of 49" OLED vs 57" Neo. Don't hope that in a couple of years the burn-in problems will disappear, it won't happen. 10 years displays behave almost like the modern ones in dynamic content but for static pictures the modern displays are much better, although quite far from traditional LCDs and OLEDs are not that good for work (with text) because of some fringing problems.

[@masterbuilder0018]

@socialreport2836 dual 4k is practically useless for AAA gaming.

[@socialreport2836]

@@masterbuilder0018 With DLSS and 4090 it's quite playable I suppose (about 60 FPS it's going to get), for older AAA games (like Cyberpunk 2077, COD series, the Witcher 3 etc) it will be very good. I own G9 Neo 49" and I often use DLDSR (in this case G9 Neo 49" behaves almost like double 4K), so I can judge about the resolution.

[@masterbuilder0018]

@socialreport2836 I can see your perspective. Playing old games like Half-Life 2 or Read Dead 1 would rip on dual 4k, it's just that I find it hard to justify spending around 8k AUD on a system that can barely play the latest games on native without RT. In my opinion, the 57-inch monitor is simply a product ahead of its time, an oddity of sorts that is good for a type of gaming experience which isn't appealing to the majority of people. The speed of today's hardware is at fault; for standard 4k screen, I'd only recommend three GPUs that currently exist: RTX 4090, 4080/4080S, and AMD's 7900 XTX. Doubling the amount of pixels is definitely pushing your luck.

[@christophercharles7605]

I've had the Neo since last year. I have no question that the OLED looks amazing. Much better for color contrast and black levels. I bought the Neo based on gaming, but I am blown away by how great it is for productivity too. I use fancy zones, and it's just so much better to have one huge continuous desktop to work with as opposed to 2-3 monitors. It's super clear and crisp. And it's no slouch for gaming. I definitely prefer the immersion of the more aggressive curve. And the picture and colors are awesome as well. I can't complain, and I'm happy with my purchase.

[@socialreport2836]

Don't use it for work primarily or it will get burn-in in around 2000-3000 hours (RTings longevity testing, all OLEDs are prone to burn-in with static images, no exception but for movies/games they are perfect).

In home cinema I fullyagree. For allround monitors, not so much.

As an allrounder you don`t ever have to babysit, Mini-LED is better.

@@Grammostola I never had too babysit any of my oled once. Burn in is such a thing in the past. I have owned 2 oled monitors as well as 7 oleds tvs in my life. All used for gaming mainly and 83” for movies. You hear about these burn in story mainly from extreme testing or usage to push the limit of these panels from sites like rtings and such. As well cases where people leave their tv on for 24/7 on cnn and wonder why this happens. As for brightness, 1000nit to 1400nit (depending on tv/panel) specular highlight on 2% windows and 260/460 nit sdr/hdr respectively on normal window is plenty bright. Unless you sit in direct sunlit room there should be no issues. I even find myself turning down the brightness on some of these oleds. Also with the contrast ratio and perfect black, I find the brightness is plenty. The only thing I can truly agree on is the text clarity on these qd-oled., but it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

[@hellblazer_original]

Good video, thanks for your work. I do not know how it is outside of Germany, but here the Neo is nearly 50 percent cheaper. I do agree that the OLED display is superior in a lot of scenarios, but together with the burn-in risk I do not think it is worth to pay 1.600 Euro instead of 800 Euro for an upgrade, that seems to be fairly small for me. I need it mostly for gaming and content creation, so I will go with the Neo. It´s a huge upgrad from my single 24'' curved LCD Samsung monitor anyways 😂

[@peterk8874]

I guess you looked wrong, but that's also because of the stupid Samsung naming scheme. Or you got a very good price. The non-neo G9 costs as I post this, ~800€ here in Germany. The Neo G9 ~1250€ and the OLED (non Smart) G9 ~1450€, so the difference is "only" 200€ If you are looking for a nice HDR experience, I would not consider the Non-Neo monitor. The problem is the availability of the OLED I think.

Thank you for your review, I was able to check out both of these monitors at a Micro Center. I eventually went with the Neo and the major reason it was because it's going to be my daily driver for work and the burn-in with OLED stopped me from getting it. I didn't even want to mess with the issue even if I could prevent it from happening for years. I also have a very lit environment for my work, and the ClearType text looks better on the Neo. Now with the local dimming on the Neo it has a good black level not as good as OLED but passible to me. The OLED looked better and if I was doing graphical work, I may have opted for that instead. They both look gorgeous, but the OLED looks better by default, the color accuracy out of the box for the Neo needed some work before I was happy with it. All in all, you can't go wrong with either.

i had the neo for about 2 years now. No going back from super ultrawide ever! The Oled looks really good, but not enough for changing my neo out,

[@DocBraun187]

@LordCivickOG Personally I am planning to use the OLED G9 as a 2 monitor setup (Currently I have 2 x 4k monitors running at the cost of decreased FPS). Diablo4 for example will not use the full 5.120 x 1.440 Pixel anyway so I would use one half of the screen, i.e. 2.560 x 1.440 for playing and the other half for browsing etc. a) is that even possible with the OLED G9? b) Would I feed the OLED g9 with 2 signals/cables (DP and HDMI) for that or should I use any built in or additional software/mode for that purpose with only one input cable? Thanks a lot, Chris

[@philrincon]

OLED is so evidently better in your video. Man... I feel like I've been missing out my whole life

[@LordCivickOG]

Take the plunge lol!

[@socialreport2836]

Very good review. I will consider the OLED G9 after it :) I understand that the camera can't capture exact colors, brightness, etc., but is the difference in colors and brightness between OLED and Neo nearly the same as in your video, or is it greater or maybe less?

[@LordCivickOG]

I’d say it’s greater for both brightness and color’s especially when HDR is enabled

[@LordCivickOG]

I’d say it’s even bigger a difference when it comes to color and brightness.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

there's no denying that the OLED has better blacks, but there is no way you have the local dimming setting on high on the Neo if you're complaining about grey side bars. The ~2k dimming zones on the Neo do an excellent job, especially for content with sidebars, where the sides are completely black, since the backlight in that area is just off. For me, personally, the Neo is better, because I do more productivity than anything else, and having clearer text, without worry of burn in was the way to go. As for curvature; I don't think it matters much for productivity, since peripheral vision isn't important - you'll have to look to the side either way. It's beneficial for the Neo to overcome the poor viewing angles, but since OLED doesn't have that problem, you don't need the more extreme curvature. Oh, and I couldn't agree more regarding the stand. The one on the Neo sucks!

[@socialreport2836]

Yes, it's strange that they looked grey. Possibly you're right about it.

[@socialreport2836]

So, apparently, this occurs due to the angle of videofilming and lighting. Lord Civick confirmed that he used the local dimming on "high".

[@NeutralGenericUser]

@@socialreport2836 The angle won't matter, as the backlight in those areas would be off. I'm watching a video right now with black bars, and the black bars are 100% black (no backlight). You will not be able to make them look grey no matter which angle. If you have the monitor, try it yourself.

[@socialreport2836]

​@@NeutralGenericUser Yes, they appear black when you look at them with your own eyes. I remember that. I can't verify it right now as I'm on vacation :). Have you tried filming it? It could be due to the camcorder and the angle of filming/lighting.

[@JustSheen]

I have an OLED G9 and the pixel response time honestly makes even 60 fps feel around 70-80 just because it's missing that delay that LCD panels have. The brightness argument is silly to me, I've been flashbanged by this thing in a normal lit room opening my browser. Only thing I don't like about these two monitors is the UI. Some settings turn off others and they rarely say why. Like why can't I have the built in dynamic eye protection filter while using Game Mode? Why can't I use the 10 band equalizer with game mode turned on but can with it off? Yes a PC can provide a remedy for both of those complaints easily but my point very much still stands. Other than that though, this shit is sick.

[@thomasg2308]

Thank you for the video

[@ThoughtCrimes420]

Thanks I was having a hard time deciding

[@LordCivickOG]

Glad I was able to help 😁

[@CrusaderGeneral]

right off the bat, you can see that regular bluish tint that's inherent to OLED, which in my experience makes it a very poor productivity monitor.. but the per pixel display of OLED is def superior for gaming and etc

[@GamerDan89]

Is the neo as good adjusted as the the oled ist from color and that saturation?

[@13TheKeyOfDestiny]

Hey question? But first, Appreciate the video, ended up buying the OLED myself. I wanted to know if you have the name of that arc light above your desk?, seems like it would be perfect for streaming my dark skin

[@Nephitis]

I wonder how the Neo G9 is calibrated in this video. I don't own the OLED G9 but I do own the Nintendo Switch OLED and an LG OLED TV. I like OLED but I also think most OLEDs are not bright enough when compared to Mini LED. This is easily noticed when watching anime etc. The Neo G9 does get very bright when calibrated right and with HDR Dynamic enabled. Enabling that picture mode will allow for deeper blacks and more brightness. But it does need to be calibrated because the default setting is a little bit oversaturated. A good comparison for how bright the Neo G9 gets is Ahsoka - Episode 5 when she wearing her white garments while talking to the space whale. The sky behind her is white and with the Neo G9 it looks gorgeous when compared watching the same episode on an OLED TV.

[@x3merx3mer]

Waiting for the 57" one. I'm sick of not being able to watch 4K on my G9. ...its great otherwise, but after switching from 4K you can see the pixels way too much. Higher resolution is a must.

[@socialreport2836]

4K movies are often around 3840x1600, while the G9 Neo has a resolution of 5120x1440, which means it lacks around 160 pixels vertically. This won't make a significant difference when compared to native 4K resolution, without any upscaling and this technique will work or not, I don't know. The difference will only be noticeable when watching TV series, but it's not as substantial as you might believe.

[@x3merx3mer]

@@socialreport2836 what? 4k movies are 2160p. On a regular (16:9) 4k monitor, you might get 1600p since movies are 21:9 so you get black bars, but on G9 32:9 you would get a full glory of it.

[@ParkingSandwichify]

That intro 🔥

[@xbone8950]

great video, when you went from your CX to 32:9 G9 did everything seem zoomed out to you vs 16:9?

[@sherlockholmes6956]

With saying that Edit: just messing with you bro😉. Just got the oled one for $1k today from amazon. Thanks for your review!

[@LordCivickOG]

Yeah I’m working on it lol, and hope you enjoy it this monitor is freaking sick!

[@ESKATEUK]

You would not choose the OLED for picture and video editing. You have the risk of burn in firstly, and secondly the colours are more accurate and true to life on the Neo g9.

[@denizesen1995]

@LordCivickOG what is your xbox controller?

[@c-sync9223]

ive also tried both besides oled being better it still cant reack 4k just 1440 maybe a bit higher. neo comes full 4k baby stil 120 and 240 fps for gaming so i jus... the colors are better on a oled always but it can be oled all it wants my steamdeck is oled and somehow the 1280x800 pixels are almost as small as the 4k pixels on my ole pg27uq by asus which was best compared to this... also you black point should be 0 for oled? it is on my 57 inch g9 and goes to 1000 nits brightness which are both needed for true full hdr so i feel like the oled needs to go from 0 to 1000 nits even the steamdeck is 0-1000 nits... jus was confused but good color makes anything look better but the overall 4k and... i have a 350 dollar monitor color calibrator which got my 57 inch popping asf... now if they'd have made this 57 inch and kept it the same but added oled is only way it coulda been better and eventually itll all come together... its personal preference. also for games that wont go full screen its jus cuz the devs haven't taken the time to add it in the game you could in 3 min download a file online, move it to that games folder on steam and boom works 4k fullscreen no stretching jus adds extra picture you normally cant see, i love it. i jus did it for black myth wukong that im playing now the sides stayed black would not go full. fixed it in 3 min from someone online cuz its easy to do sometimes devs to lazy and doing other stuff and they havent had to make many 4k or any 4k 1000 nit hdr 57 inch monitors.... i think more games will start to come with it when they release as more ppl have these monitors and monitors come like it. when they dont some hero from the games community usually does the devs work for them and you can easily fix it and have it working as you would want. you right tho those colors... but i did buy a spyder x2 ultra to calibrate my screen hada get the expensive one cuz it can go to 2000 nit the others stopped at 750 which isnt even hdr level. i got my colors closer than i thought but man it made all i had wrong pop out amazing, skin going from more pale to alive... colors more saturated and popped... but i was surprised i did decent on my own haha... my friends pc i sold him a old build and my asus 27 inch 4k pg27uq and itd never been on tht pc before even so when i calibrated his it made it so much better its... insane how bad it was an i didnt notice then again i didnt play anything before jus after it does have things you can see before and after shots of tho. great video jus was waiting on the 4k and curved together at least 1000 nits so long its why i had a pg27uq and a 38 inch ultrawide tht was jus shy of 4k at 3840x1600 and i could see the difference and the hdr was only 800 was lil to low so i could never truly choose the perfect one none were... now one has finally combined them together lol. nice review keep it up i got some stuff coming soon to ill give you a subscription and ring the bell help ya grow some.

[@Alabogaz]

I bought a 49 inch normal Samsung screen, I am not happy with it, I will change it. Which one do you recommend, Oled or Neo?

[@Tacto_1]

i didnt understand when u talk about the brightness lvl. So what do u think in a dark room what screen have the better peak brightnes in HDR and the better HDR performance overall?

[@LordCivickOG]

To me I like the OLED more because even though it isn’t able to get as bright as the mini led, the color accuracy and it’s ability to have some of the pixels turn totally off is more impressive to me when looking at HDR content.

[@weih723]

How’s the curve on the Oled in actual usage ? Do you prefer older g9?

[@MM-ho7kb]

I love the style of the OLED. NEO seems outdated, even the 57 does. Unfortunately I think the 1000R curvature is much better....

[@Tacto_1]

thank u for this video!

[@LordCivickOG]

Of course thank you so much for watching

[@dreamtvfx]

Which do you recommend for strictly gaming on the ps5???????

[@sheraz1001]

OLED is better. I didn't know which one I was looking at but I liked the right one from the get go.

[@itsmetee466]

Im planning to get a new monitor. Right now im on a IPS Alienware and i really like the colors. But the way you describe the OLED, is like maybe thats my next upgrade. I play a lot af BF 2042. So that would be nice to see and have an idea how it looks. I know the camera cant record how it looks in real life. But just curios. And also i have a 13700k with a 4090 FE. Im curious how it work together with that build. And also like you say it yourself about the curve. That i am also curious if the less curve compared to the NEO is a problem for me. The Alienware i have now are also 1800R i think. Thx

[@porschecarreras992cabriole8]

Oled just looks so good in your video!!

[@LordCivickOG]

Appreciate I try my best to make sure the video looks as close as it does person :)

[@MrSamjoephy]

Thanks for the comparison. Because of your video, I purchased oled g9😂 What cable should I use to connect with my pc? hdmi 2.1a or display port 1.4?

[@Helifax19]

HDMI 2.1 has a bigger bandwidth than DP 1.4 so it can support higher refresh rates and so on... especially if you want HDR10. On HDR (10 bit) your are stuck at 5120x1440 and 100Hz since there is not enough bandwidth to go above (unless you do compressed HDR in 8bits, but that is not true HDR).

[@Python_Bacon]

Just wish that OLED was 1000R

[@kristofferrer]

I'd opt for the wider angle... it's versatile for working and sharing views. Also, if you're not far enough (or the right distance) from the 1000R monitor you'll have to turn your head which gets annoying when not gaming.

[@Python_Bacon]

@@kristofferrer If you need multi-purpose for work and everything I agree. I am looking for gaming immersion only, so I went for an 800R 45 inch.

[@z4r4z45]

Thanks👍🏻

[@sibiris8474]

A deal breaker for me is the brightness. I do like my room to be sunny and neo handled it perfectly. The curvature is also a big deal for me. As much as I like OLED, why didn't they at least get the curvature right?

[@LEGIT134]

Final answer, OLED:). Thanks

[@LordCivickOG]

Your welcome 🙂

[@densonf]

Great video, I’ve had the OLED since release and I’m still going back and forth between the OLED and my 38” ultra wide. I wish it had more height like my 1600p ultra wide but the pure blacks of the OLED have me in a headlock. 😂 I think for the review you should cover some FPS games that don’t support the 32:9 aspect ratio as nicely as 21:9 just so everyone has idea of the compromise there (for example, Call of Duty) and your take. With that being said, do you plan on keeping the Asus 360hz 1440p alongside the OLED?

[@LordCivickOG]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching. And yeah the black levels on this thing are insane for sure, gonna be very tricky going back to anything else 😂. I can make sure to cover the lack of support in the review, and of course 360hz is still legitimately insane for a lot of titles. And I’m also planning to start streaming again with Diablo 4 season 1 coming up, and I will be using the PG27AQN during the streams 😁

[@user-ux3jp9oo7r]

i really want the oled, but i heard that screen burn in is real and fast af... especially if you're a person that uses his pc all day

[@robertgrady6287]

Can you tell me what firmware update works good with the neo g9 49 inch monitor? Thanks.

[@EBDeveloper]

@Lord Civick : 4 months in.. do you have any burn in on the OLED ?

[@LordCivickOG]

Not even a hint 🙂

[@ironblader]

Yo, which Headset u using with the Woo Audio WA7?

[@LordCivickOG]

Audio technica R70X sorry for late response!

[@michaeljay2884]

So if you were just playing racing games or flight sims you would stick with the neo? Asking because i just ordered the oled. But i play 90% racing sims. Thanks for the vid tho. Answered alot of my questions!

[@LordCivickOG]

Honestly for me I'd get the OLED regardless of what I play just because I love the contrast and black levels more butt yes for sims strictly sims I'd say the curvature of the neo might be more ideal.

[@theghastlygamer5326]

Do you have a setting it up video? Dialing in settings etc

[@xXWillsW1LYXx]

Will you do another comparison throwing the 57" ultrawide into the mix?

[@LordCivickOG]

If I get sent a test unit for sure!

[@deliamax6721]

OLED looks so much better than Neo but my problem is that I am coding and I love gaming. I don't know what monitor should I get. Can you help me, please? Edit: I also need it to be good for a long time because I don't plan to change it for maybe 6/7 years
