Gigabytes 32" 3840x2160 is a good monitor, but I returned them for the 27" version.  At my viewing distance the image quality is noticeable.  I can't imagine wanting to go bigger for anything less in terms of resolution.  I deeply regretted buying 32" 1440p monitors.  I'm holding out on OLED, burn in is a concern to me and I recently found out LG's OLED doesn't play well with text.

I saw that article.  I never thought about that, and I would certainly have 16:9 content displayed at times.  That happened after only 700 hours of gaming too!

Martin is a Streaming Writer at Tom’s Guide, covering all things movies and TV. If it’s in the theaters or available to stream somewhere, he’s probably watched it… especially if it has a dragon in it. Before joining the team, he was a Staff Writer at What To Watch where he wrote about a broad range of shows that stretched from "Doctor Who" and "The Witcher" to "Bridgerton" and "Love Island". When he’s not watching the next must-see movie or show, he’s probably still in front of a screen playing massive RPGs, reading, spending a fortune on TCGs, or watching the NFL.

I'm most leery of giving up the height that I have now.  Also I did not consider slitting the screen in three would be an issue.  You made some great points thank you!

As for some other thoughts, whenever I see a gaming monitor, I make myself consider all the non-gaming uses that will still occur.

Using these movies as a rough guide, we can guess that "The Wild Robot" will be streaming on Peacock around mid-January 2025. When Universal makes an official announcement about "The Wild Robot" streaming date, we'll be sure to update this article with all the latest info.

Universal still hasn't confirmed a streaming date yet, but we at least know where "The Wild Robot" will be available to stream after PVOD. That's because Universal's animated movies head to Peacock once their theatrical run is up. They'll be available to watch on Peacock for four months, then they head to Netflix.

5120x1440 would be great for gaming in games that support it, and not very fun to deal with otherwise. What I like about my 38" LG UltraGear 38GN950-B is that the 3840 pixel width perfectly matches up with my 55" 4K Samsung QN85A so moving windows between screens is easier to manage and I don't have to readjust window sizes as much. 5120 is really ugly to work with in terms of window splitting. 2160 for half-screen width is too wide, but you also can't evenly split the screen into thirds. It's manageable with apps like PowerToys, but still a nuisance. Each third would also be less than 1920 pixels wide, which is of course a frequently utilized window width.

The movie follows a shipwrecked robot, "Roz" (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o), who learns to adapt to their new surroundings while building relationships with the animals on the island and caring for an orphaned gosling.

Additionally, make sure to check customer reviews at any vendor you might go with. Read through the lower ratings, it's not all that difficult to separate the chaff from the wheat. Some issues will stand out more than others.

SamsungOLED burn inwarranty

If you're looking to pick up an OLED monitor, try to do so via a vendor that offers some sort of guaranty against burn-in. I think that's currently only Dell and Best Buy, but there might be more.

As for OLED technology, in the TV world currently, LG's WOLED technology does better against burn-in than Samsung's QD-OLED. I've decided to completely skip OLED for any PC use and wait out MicroLED, but LG is significantly better in this regard if you look at the comparison of the two OLED technologies on Rtings. Last I read earlier this year, all the OLED PC monitors coming out now are QD-OLED, so that's less than ideal.

Here's a personal rule I have: Never trade resolution in either dimension for physically larger dimensions. In this case, you'd be losing physical height as well, and that kills immersion for me. I went from a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide to a 38" 3840x1600 and the difference in immersion is massive. That was the difference between "The ultrawide FOV is nice," and "Oh, I'm really in the game!"

Yes I always check out the one star reviews too.  Thanks for getting me my "X"... another couple of years I'll get the "T"

All that being said, I would go with an LG C3 before I would even entertain the Samsung Odyssey G9. It has too many practical compromises for my liking, whereas LG WOLED technology is very mature and capable of handling almost anything you can throw at it.

I've actually had my eye on this monitor.  I currently game on a LG 38" wide screen with 3840 x 1600 resolution and just love it!  It is about an inch taller than a standard 27" monitor and when I purchased it I did not think the extra height would make much difference, but it actually really does.

Yeah at this point I'm probably going to go with the 48" 16:9 OLED Panel.  That will give me plenty of height and I can still play at 21:9 resolution if I want too.  Plus I can still fit two 27" aux monitors vertically to the left of it.  With the 49" mega wide Samsung I would not be able to do that with my desk set-up.

Mine's not OLED, but still a 49" 5120x1440 / 120 Ultrawide.  Do not recommend unless you're ONLY gaming on it (and games that support it).  Productivity, multiple monitors is still king.  OLED..........honestly, probably better suited for film I'd think?  Yeah, OLED is amazing for gaming (I've seen some of the screenshots you OLED users have put out).  I just really don't see THIS particular monitor as being a good buy though.

Is it a gaming monitor or a TV? I’ve asked that question once before in my review of the Samsung OLED G8, and I’m asking it again as I unpack the OLED G9. Like the G8, it’s a curved wide screen, 49 inches in the 32:9 aspect ratio here. It incorporates Samsung’s TV Plus and Game Hub platforms for seamless access to various streamed content libraries. It delivers shows, movies and games from powerful apps with expansion capability.

Of course, the screen is what I’m really interested in here. OLED is an emerging category in desktop monitors, and I couldn’t be happier. OLED’s super low black levels and infinite contrast mean the image has a depth and vibrance that even the best Mini LED panels cannot match. OLED is also a standout for its lack of motion blur for gaming. Where LCDs need a well-engineered overdrive or backlight strobe to maintain motion resolution, OLED does this naturally with no trickery required.

Below, you can find out all the latest info we have about "The Wild Robot" streaming date; here's what we know right now.

As of our latest update, "The Wild Robot" is now available to buy or rent on Premium Video-On-Demand (PVOD) services like Prime Video, after releasing on October 15, though it may still be playing at movie theaters near you if you'd prefer to see it on the big screen.

If we look back at Universal's recent animated features, we can kind of predict roughly when "The Wild Robot" will be streaming. "Kung Fu Panda 4" only took 106 days to come to Peacock, while both "Migration" and "Trolls: Band Together" debuted 120 days after their theatrical releases. It's a similar story with Universal's live-action releases, too: "The Fall Guy" also took 120 days to come to Peacock, for example.

I currently have a 55" LG C2 TV in my living room. For my next PC monitor upgrade I wanted to wait until I could get an OLED monitor.  So I'm kind of torn between going with this "Mega-Wide" Samsung 49" OLED and losing the one inch of height or going with a 48" LG C3.

The Samsung OLED G9 is a 49-inch 32:9 screen with DQHD (Double QHD, 5120x1440 pixels) resolution, a 240 Hz refresh rate, Adaptive-Sync, HDR10 and HDR10+, wide gamut color and a ton of features to enhance every form of entertainment. Let’s take a look.

The movie hit theaters on Friday, September 27, 2024, and has been very warmly received by critics and viewers alike. At the time of writing, it holds a 97% critics rating and a hefty 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Impressively, it's already raked in more than $55 million worldwide in just a matter of days... and it isn't even out in some territories just yet, either.
