I have the 57" now but I don't like the matte finish or intrusive stand. I can't run fun resolution without upgrading PC, so that doesn't really matter. Plus I wouldn't mind the size reduction, it would be great to have available/affordable mounts!
1: The 1800R of the OLED is just not enough curve. It looks and feels almost flat, and I had to tilt my head a bit, it just didn't feel right. The 1000R of the 57 is just so much nicer.
2: With screens this big the 4K of the 57 is just so crisp that the 49 OLED just feels a bit fuzzy by comparison, not to mention OLED (even the newer pixel layout) in general won't be as sharp as mini-led / VA.
3: For me the size is just nice. I like a taller profile and this feels not too squatty. The OLED just feels really short and if you already used the 57 you won't even feel like it's smaller width wise just squatty.
4: I know there is the whole OLED vs MiniLED / VA discussion. I changed some settings and have virtually no blooming, I get better brightness if I need it, but obviously you're trading perfect blacks and better contrast, but again you don't have to worry about burn-in. Gaming on this thing is amazing but to be honest productivity is just better too because of the vertical real estate. Now I cannot do 240 on it but most games play fine and you can change to 21:9 if you want, of course I am also getting a 5090 when available and honestly if you're not trying to use the best PC hardware gaming at 1440p will give you better frames, so it also depends on your use case. If gaming is king for you I would actually recommend the 45" Ultragear over the 49" G9 OLED anyways because 45" at 21:9 with an 800R games so much better than 49" squatty at 32:9
Anyways, just my opinion but I stuck with the 57 and do not regret it for one second.

I do think the vertical space will be huge for coding
Works great over hdmi with vrr and gsync off. DP and those options tend to cause the most issues with this model.
I just wish there was a way to force games to run in 21:9 since it's more readily supported than 32:9 for demanding titles. Only options are 16:9 or 32:9 unless you run windowed mode which is wonky if not full screened borderless.
I called up Samsung about this issue and a tech is supposed to come by in a few days. Has anyone gone through the warranty? if so, are there any suggestions at all? For instance, I am NOT leaving the tech alone with the monitor. If anyone saw that video with the tech using a box cutter to damaged a guy's Samsung TV to void warranty, you know what I mean.
As for the issue, I had ones where the monitor wont wake up from sleep correctly. If I alt tab out of a fullscreen game, the screen is black even though the PC is running.
I realized that the issue arises when I use the Game mode with 240 hz. When the refersh rate is lowered to 120, no issues. Not sure if I should just request a warranty replacement if this is a firmware issue.
Both also get pretty hot. If you put your hands on certain areas (like the bottom of the monitor) there are some pretty warm spots. You could definitely feel the heat coming off this thing. I have a few bigger OLED tvs and even monitors and none come close to being as hot. I'd hate to be using this thing during the summer time. It's a shame because it is very immersive and has a nice picture.
