How they differ in real use
Built from our ultrawide gaming monitors scoring, each product's published specifications, and verified owner feedback — not hands-on testing.
Both the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G93SC and the Alienware AW3423DWF made our Top 5 Ultrawide Gaming Monitors, at #1 (best overall) and #4 (best value). The most immersive screen here: a 49" 32:9 QD-OLED at 5120x1440 and 240Hz with 0.03ms response, equal to two 27" 1440p monitors side by side and wider than the LG 45GR95QE's 45" 3440x1440 canvas. It is the same panel as the G95SC it replaces in this ranking, minus the smart TV apps and remote, which costs it a little on features but nothing on picture or speed. The trade-offs are a desk footprint of about 1.2 m, OLED burn-in risk and patchy 32:9 support in some games. QD-OLED ultrawide at the most accessible price. 34" 165Hz with excellent colors, the gateway to premium ultrawide gaming.
