Wow. Tough call just got tougher.

Right now I'm leaning towards returning the current monitor, set up my crummy 60Hz 1080p 3x24" monitors back, take my time and see if I miss anything after almost two months on a single 144Hz 1440p 16:9 32" monitor.
Two months during which I never really felt a single moment of particular awe for anything, be it size, faster refresh-rate, adaptive-sync or deeper blacks. Nothing

I'd argue the LG CX does 4 of those things perfectly, and then if needed ultrawide can be mimicked through a custom resolution. Get an LG CX and pretty much hit every check mark for a gaming monitor.

I'd argue that my G7 does 4 of those super well.

Forgot the most important priority point:

Price

**Trunks0** · Jan 16, 2021, 07:06 PM

For the debate between Samsung G Odyssey series vs the CX

high refresh rate
G7 = 240Hz
G9 = 240hz
CX = 120Hz

accurate colors
G7, G9 and CX all have pretty awesome colour. OLED probably wins out though.

perfect blacks
Clear win for the CX. The G7/G9 VA panels get pretty inky, comparable to a plasma, but it can't beat an OLED at all.

ultrawide
CX can run a custom resolution with perfectly black bars to mimic Ultrawide. You have to bump up to a 32:9 Super Ultrawide G9 get this outta Samsung.

Size
G7 = 27" or 32"
G9 = 49"
CX = 48" and up

Price
G7>CX>G9
At least based on some here managing to find the CX for some pretty sweet pricing. Plus TV's tend to on sale more often than monitors.

KAC · Jan 16, 2021, 08:25 PM

Why debate. Just buy both.

**logical** · Jan 17, 2021, 04:52 AM

LGCX users don't forget to get the new 3.21.16 firmware released yesterday. Fixes raised blacks and lower peak brightness for hdr in game mode.

USB update went fine and was easy

.

LG_DTV shove the file in that folder on the USB root and then TV says there is a update, and it updated nice and easy

PC or console use?

Meteor_of_War · Jan 17, 2021, 10:41 AM

Problem for me with the LG CX displays is while they may likely be the superior display on the market right now for gaming they are just too big for me to use as PC monitor.

Release one that is smaller and I might be interested. But I would probably miss UW resolutions since it wouldn't be feasible to do a custom res for UW on a much smaller display.

**SirBaron** · Jan 17, 2021, 11:01 AM

I don't miss uw and I loved it when it worked.

42 coming out later this year. In thought I would miss UW as well as I have been on it the last five years but the sheer size of this monitor makes up for it.

Meteor_of_War · Jan 17, 2021, 12:55 PM

42" is still just way too big for my desk and viewing distance. Its bordering on stupid to even consider for me. 32" UW is the max i can do here.

**logical** · Jan 17, 2021, 01:19 PM

Got to get a bigger desk

Lazy8s · Jan 17, 2021, 02:10 PM

Mine didn't fit my desk either. Stuff got moved and tossed to the side lol. It's one of the very few "Why did I wait this long" moments I've had lately.

That's not really the point though. What I was saying is the size can be seen as a con for some depending on their setup when weighing the options. It just doesn't make sense to use a display that big in my case.

demo · Jan 17, 2021, 03:31 PM

I honestly prefer to have a monitor on desk as well. I play a lot of MP FPS and 34" UW 144hz seems like the sweet spot for me. Still have a 4k TV as supplimentary display for use with gamepad but don't use it a whole lot, although I do prefer it for 3rd person games like RD2 and Death Stranding.

Obviously size is of preference. I think my perfect monitor is around a 38 ultrawide, OLED, 120+hz and gsync thrown in. Since there aren't going to be any OLED ultrawides for the foreseeable future the CX48 use pretty damn good.

demo · Jan 18, 2021, 12:55 AM

LG announced a 32" 4k 'UltraFine OLED' at CES a few days ago but I think it's only 60hz. Hopefully this means higher refresh rate panels are on the horizon.

KAC · Jan 18, 2021, 01:41 AM

yes that panel is for media creators or some crap.
