Samsung Odyssey Ark vs Samsung Odyssey Neo G9

“Im on my second ark. had to return first one for line of dead pixels. My first Ark had the flicker problem i think you have. My easiest solution was to change the input (I changed it to the samsung TV app) and then change it back. Not a permanent solution but i hope it helps”

“I have LG C1 OLED TV and G9 Neo 49”. Our experiences are similar, in the bright scenes G9 Neo can have better brightness but in darker scenes, details seem to get crushed on my G9 Neo and I see haloing and blooming effects (that I am used to). I don’t have issues going “true blacks” on G9 Neo but as I said it also crushes details. So I only prefer G9 Neo on fully bright scenes with little to no dark areas. In my experience, OLED is just better in most cases. If most miniLED monitors are similar, I think OLED is almost always (except for productivity maybe?) an upgrade to miniLED. Only exception is the screen on my Macbook. It is miniLED but it is so gorgeous that I can consider it a sidegrade with OLED. I don’t know if any miniLED gaming monitor is close to that picture quality though. Just to clarify: miniLED looks amazing compared to edge-lit screens with no local dimming, but OLED is definitely an upgrade from miniLED in my opinion, it is just not as big of a difference as going from edge-lit to miniLED. And of course I’m entirely talking about picture quality, as people might prefer miniLED for productivity due to no worry of burn-in. Also you can try Local Dimming at High, it works better on my monitor but yours might be different.”
