Need a new monitor for a work/gaming setup

[Blindsay]

Edit: changing things up a bit.

 

I need a monitor that can support picture by picture so i can have dual work monitors but then game on it as a single monitor. Open to any aspect ratio as long as i can get at least 1920 pixels of width per screen for work.

 

Samsung G9 Neo (I know the OLED version is coming out but i suspect it will be quite pricey)

LG 38GL950G-B (3840x1600) or 40WP95C (5120x2160 but the specs for gaming seem meh)

 

Are there any good 16:9 OLED monitors that use the newer OLED tech that support picture by picture? (LG C2 does not seem to unfortunately).

 

Any other good ideas?

I dont care about the 240hz (couldnt hit that fps anyways)

The G9 Neo series is not solely for this reason - 240hz. The Neo series is the only one that has 2048 local dimming zones and uses mini-LED. This makes a significant difference in HDR gaming and HDR video playback, and it is the only provide pure black like output.

Thanks for that info, I had just mentioned the 240hz since they push that so heavily, I wasnt sure what else might have been different. So between the two the G9 Neo seems to be the way to go. Any other monitors in this class i should consider? being able to do Picture by Picture for work is probably the biggest thing i cant compromise on

Hmm, I guess i was getting the models confused a bit, didnt realize samsung has 3 49" displays. The Neo G9 looks nice but it is 2x the cost of the regular G9

Because G9 Neo / Neo G9 is more advanced and much costly to build. The mini-LED is the one make the cost increase.

 

The cost you get is very high; even stock prices in my country are not that high, and this model has been heavily promoted for quite some time.

I only pay USD$1.55k for this purchase. This model is currently priced at USD$1.45k in my country.

bumping this thread a bit.

 

I see the new OLED version of the Samsung is coming out, but i suspect that will cost a fortune.

 

The Samsung Ark is interesting (when on sale), any other displays i should consider as well? Doesnt have to be 32:9 but I want to be able to have "2" work monitors side by side on it so it must support picture by picture

 

edit: looks like the Ark cannot do 2 HDMI sources in picture by picture so thats out.

 

I would also consider a 3840x1600 or 5120x2160 21:9 monitor (I just dont want 3440 wide as I find it to be too little when it is cut in half). Maybe even a large (like 42 or 48") 16:9 OLED that could do picture by picture (Does not look like the LG c2 can at least)
