LG 32GR93U vs Samsung Odyssey Neo G8: Neo G8’s strong curve favors a centered gaming seat, while LG stays flat
Quick verdict
Take the 32GR93U if you want a flat 4K gaming screen. If you sit centered and welcome a strong curve, Mini-LED dimming and 240Hz, the Neo G8 is the fit.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Detail should be compared at the actual screen size
LS32BG852NNXGO comes to 137.7 pixels per inch, against about 139.9 for 32GR93U-B. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
Where this comes from
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. The inputs are 3840 × 2160 at 31.5 inches and 3840 × 2160 at 32 inches. The figures are approximate because the diagonals are published nominal values.
The catch
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch
A strong 1000R curve won't suit every shared desk or design-oriented desk.

Favor a flat panel for mixed work
Neo G8 has a 1000R curve, while LG 32GR93U is flat. Off-center viewing and mixed desktop layouts may suit a flat screen better.

Look for Mini-LED local dimming
VA Mini-LED local dimming is what Neo G8 uses. LG uses IPS without the same Mini-LED dimming arrangement, though dimming quality still depends on the scene.

Play 4K games up to 144Hz
Up to 144 Hz, LG offers a flat 4K image. When 144 Hz already meets the target, Neo G8's higher 240 Hz ceiling is no reason to accept its curved design.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Detail should be compared at the actual screen size
LS32BG852NNXGO comes to 137.7 pixels per inch, against about 139.9 for 32GR93U-B. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
How we worked this out
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. The inputs are 3840 × 2160 at 31.5 inches and 3840 × 2160 at 32 inches. The figures are approximate because the diagonals are published nominal values.
Keep native detail apart from game speed
32GR93U-B draws 8.3 million native pixels per frame, and LS32BG852NNXGO draws 8.3 million as well. The refresh ceilings are 144Hz and 240Hz respectively.
How we worked this out
Native pixels = width × height. Refresh interval =1000 / Hz, giving 6.9 and 4.2 ms. None of these are measured frame rates, input lag or pixel response, only signal and cadence calculations.
The refresh interval is about 2.8 ms shorter on Neo G8
At 240Hz the theoretical interval is 4.17 ms, and at 144Hz it is 6.94 ms.
How we worked this out
1000 / 240 = 4.17 ms and 1000 / 144 = 6.94 ms. That describes refresh cadence and is not measured input lag or pixel response.
Option A
LG, 32GR93U-B
UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz
Games get more physical room on this flat 32-inch 4K screen, and there are plenty of pixels left for work. A 144Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 inputs make it a simple choice for both PC and console.
- Best for
- PC and console gaming on a large, flat 4K screen
Facts we checked
- 144Hz IPS panel in the 32-inch class at 3840 by 2160
- The stand pivots and adjusts in height, and the inputs are HDMI 2.1
- DisplayHDR 400, with 95 percent DCI-P3 coverage
Option B
Samsung, LS32BG852NNXGO
Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch
4K detail, a 240Hz ceiling and Mini LED local dimming come together in the Neo G8. Its pronounced curve makes it more of a deliberate gaming-desk pick than a flat office screen.

Where they really differ
| Spec | LG UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz | Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native resolution | 3840 × 2160 | 3840 × 2160 | Usable logical workspace changes with operating-system scaling. |
| Panel diagonal | 31.5 in | 32 in | The measured active diagonal may differ slightly from a nominal screen class. |
| Maximum refresh | 144Hz | 240Hz | Look at the exact input, resolution and overclock conditions. |
| Panel technology | IPS | VA Mini LED | A measured color or motion winner is not established by panel type alone. |
| Laptop power | No USB-C laptop charging | No USB-C laptop charging | For the desired delivery, the host, cable and negotiated power profile all have to support it. |
| Chassis width | 714 mm | Check exact drawing | Leave additional room for cables, arms and neighboring equipment. |
| Stand depth | 278 mm | Check exact drawing | More desk depth can be taken by the included stand than by the display cabinet. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With LG UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz
- Don't read DisplayHDR 400 certification as OLED black levels or as a local-dimming specification.
With Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch
- Using 4K at very high frame rates takes a powerful graphics system.
Decision guide
How to decide
The 32GR93U is for a flat 4K gaming screen. The Neo G8 is for a centered gaming position where a strong curve, Mini-LED dimming and 240Hz are welcome.
A curve alters shared viewing and desk use
The Neo G8 has a 1000R curve, whereas the LG is flat. A player sitting centered may like the wrap. Side-by-side work and off-center viewing can favor a flat layout.
A faster ceiling asks a lot at 4K
About 8.29 million pixels per frame are rendered on each. To use the full ceiling, Samsung's 240Hz needs much higher frame delivery than LG's 144Hz.
Panel technology sets the HDR difference
VA Mini-LED local dimming is what Samsung uses. LG's IPS differs in black level and viewing angle. A badge alone does not establish how good the dimming is in every scene.
What this page can’t tell you
- The pixel density and refresh interval numbers are arithmetic on published specifications, and no visual-quality or latency test was measured.
- USB-C power numbers are a negotiated maximum, and a laptop will not necessarily charge at full speed.
