Both are actually very similar. Samsung is 2nd Gen qd-oled whereas Gigabyte is 3rd-gen. While with the Gigabyte you're getting lesser refresh rate, you're also getting slightly better brightness....

You'd be trading pixel quantity for quality. OLEDs will get you moist. Your eyes that is from the amazing colors.
It's a luxury but far from a necessity for what you just mentioned.

This monitor is tempting, it would replace my current triple set up of 34” ultra wide in the middle and my 2x 27” all at 1440p and 165hz.
My question is, I’m so use to IPS panels and while I...

I'm not saying you're wrong. In fact most people would probably have your same experience. There are numerous reports of G9 screen issues, but like you I didn't have that issue. But my experience was...

Three years going strong on my end. Everyone's mileage will vary I suppose.
G9 has been amazing in my experience.

Ironically, the G9 is the one monitor I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. Been there, done that, never going back to Samsung.
