LG 32GR93U vs Samsung Odyssey Neo G8: LG stays flat, Neo G8’s strong curve favors a centered gaming seat

The short answer

Choose 32GR93U for a flat 4K gaming screen. Neo G8 suits a centered gaming position where a strong curve, Mini-LED dimming and 240Hz are welcome.

Before you choose

The reasoning and the trade-offs

Compare detail at the actual screen size

32GR93U-B works out to about 139.9 pixels per inch, versus 137.7 for LS32BG852NNXGO. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.

What this is based on

Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. Inputs are 3840 × 2160 at 31.5 inches and 3840 × 2160 at 32 inches. Published nominal diagonals make these approximate.

Main trade-off

LG UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz

It does not provide the USB-C video and laptop charging of a docking monitor.

Main trade-off

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch

The 1000R curve is strong and will not suit every shared or design-oriented desk.

Winner by situation

Start with what you need it to do

  • Prefer a flat screen for mixed work

    LG 32GR93U is flat, while Neo G8 has a 1000R curve. A flat screen may better suit off-center viewing and mixed desktop layouts.

  • Want Mini-LED local dimming

    Neo G8 uses VA Mini-LED local dimming. LG uses IPS without the same Mini-LED dimming arrangement, although dimming quality still depends on the scene.

  • Use 4K gaming up to 144Hz

    LG offers a flat 4K image up to 144 Hz. Neo G8's higher 240 Hz ceiling does not require choosing its curved design when 144 Hz already meets the target.

  • Prefer a curved 240Hz gaming setup

    Neo G8 combines a 1000R curve with a 240 Hz 4K ceiling. LG is flat and stops at 144 Hz.

What matters in practice

The differences that matter

Compare detail at the actual screen size

32GR93U-B works out to about 139.9 pixels per inch, versus 137.7 for LS32BG852NNXGO. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.

How we reached this conclusion

Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. Inputs are 3840 × 2160 at 31.5 inches and 3840 × 2160 at 32 inches. Published nominal diagonals make these approximate.

Separate native detail from game speed

32GR93U-B draws 8.3 million native pixels per frame and LS32BG852NNXGO 8.3 million. Their refresh ceilings are 144Hz and 240Hz respectively.

How we reached this conclusion

Native pixels = width × height. Refresh interval =1000 / Hz, giving 6.9 and 4.2 ms. These are signal and cadence calculations, not measured frame rates, input lag or pixel response.

Neo G8 shortens the refresh interval by about 2.8 ms

The theoretical interval is 4.17 ms at 240Hz versus 6.94 ms at 144Hz.

How we reached this conclusion

1000 / 240 = 4.17 ms. 1000 / 144 = 6.94 ms. This is refresh cadence, not measured input lag or pixel response.

LG, 32GR93U-B

UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz

A flat 32-inch 4K screen gives games more physical room and leaves plenty of pixels for work. Its 144Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 inputs make it a straightforward PC and console option.

What you give up

Every choice has a cost

If you choose LG UltraGear 32-inch 4K 144Hz

  • DisplayHDR 400 certification should not be mistaken for OLED black levels or a local-dimming specification.

If you choose Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch

  • A powerful graphics system is needed to make use of 4K at very high frame rates.

What matters in practice

How to make the call

01

The curve changes shared viewing and desk use

Neo G8 uses a 1000R curve. LG is flat. A centered player may like the wrap, while side-by-side work and off-center viewing can favor a flat layout.

02

The faster ceiling is demanding at 4K

Both render about 8.29 million pixels per frame. Samsung 240Hz requires much higher frame delivery than LG 144Hz to use the full ceiling.

03

Panel technology is the HDR distinction

Samsung uses VA Mini-LED local dimming. LG IPS behavior differs in black level and viewing angle. A badge alone does not establish the quality of dimming in every scene.

Check these before buying

  • Confirm the exact model suffix and the refresh rate supported by your computer and chosen port.
  • Measure stand depth and chassis width, then check laptop charging requirements and cable capability.

What this comparison cannot tell you

  • Pixel density and refresh intervals are calculations from published specifications, not a measured visual-quality or latency test.
  • USB-C power is a maximum negotiated ceiling. It does not promise full-speed charging for every laptop.
