This $300 Samsung OLED monitor is one of the best gaming deals I’ve seen all year

Upgrading your actual gaming PC in 2026 is kind of a nightmare, but it’s a good time to work on your broader setup. For example, there’s never been a more affordable time to add an OLED monitor. Our go-to pick is Alienware’s $350 27-inch value monster, but today Samsung (yeah, Samsung!) is actually beating it. You can pick up a 27-inch, 1440p OLED for just $300 on Amazon.

Update: A week later, this deal is shockingly still available. Also, it’s been pointed out that buying this gaming monitor will get you a free code for Resident Evil Requiem. Nice.

The Odyssey OLED G5 G50SF hits most of the baseline specs for a gaming monitor, with 2560×1440 resolution on its QD-OLED panel and 180Hz refresh rate with a .03ms response time That’s not the fastest around, but it is the fastest you’ll find from a high-quality panel at this price, and it’s more than speedy enough to be competitive in online multiplayer. Naturally, it comes with FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility, too.

Extras are a little spare — no USB-C video, no curved panel, heck, it doesn’t even have the usual RGBling on the back. But for an affordable upgrade to a desktop system, you can’t do any better from a name brand. And that means better support than a lot of the white box brands. With a three-year warranty on the monitor that includes burn-in panel protection, it comes with a little peace of mind you don’t get otherwise.

This monitor is going for $200 off the standard price, according to both Amazon and Samsung. At this price it’s more than reasonable as an upgrade over a regular gaming monitor — for example, Samsung wants $200 for an IPS panel at the same size and resolution. Get an order in quickly if you want the OLED, I don’t think it’s going to stick around forever.
