So I'm in the process of setting up a new basement office and was going to change around my monitor situation.
Currently I use an Acer Predator XB271HU as a primary monitor alongside an LG 34BU67-B ultrawide. Primary monitor is used for gaming and whatever I am currently working on (spreadsheet, forums, etc) secondary screen usually has a chat window for various text/chat programs and then another window with a show/movie on it.
Given I am setting up a new office and will have a TV with a chromecast connected to it, I don't really need two monitors so I wanted to convert to a single screen.
The hard part I am having is deciding between (as the title states) the Samsung G9 Odyssey (non-neo) and a 48 inch LG C1.
I'm not a hardcore gamer, I enjoy the typical games, RPG's, FPS's, Isometric, etc, nothing super hardcore more casual, I've used an ultrawide setup before with three 21 inch monitors in Eyefinity on an old computer, and enjoyed gaming in that format, the hard part is figuring out if I could use that easily for productivity without having to have some other program to set up snap windows and the like. I know that's less of an issue with Windows 11, but I'm going to need a computer upgrade before I make that leap (which is coming in the near future). I'm almost leaning more towards the C1 since it's a "normal" aspect ratio and being OLED means super great colors and HDR, but then the loss of some frames (144 to 120) might be a little saddening, that being said the current setup wont be able to hit anywhere near the 240Hz of the G9 (Ryzen 1800X/GTX 1080ti) but again future upgrades in the next couple years should be able to come close hopefully.
The reason I have picked these two screens is because I have a rather large Best Buy gift card and those seem to be the best options available at Best Buy currently, unless someone else has a better suggestion on the offerings of Best Buy.
