If your top priority in a monitor is lots of screen real estate (for gaming and work) and vibrant contrast without the risk of OLED burn-in, then you want the Samsung Odyssey G75F. This massive ultrawide display is now on sale for $700 at Amazon, down from its original $1,000 and close to its all-time lowest price.

The Odyssey G75F is a gamer’s monitor, providing high immersion with its ultrawide 40-inch panel at 5120×2160 and an aggressive 1000R curve that naturally wraps around your eyes and eases eye strain. Motion is fluid with its 180Hz refresh rate and the 1ms response time is more than good enough for single-player gaming. Between the VESA DisplayHDR 600 and VA panel, you get vivid colors and inky blacks for graphics that really pop, whether you’re gaming or watching movies.

But a few caveats to know before you go out and buy this. While the VA panel doesn’t have the burn-in risk of OLED, it also lacks the pixel-perfect black levels of OLED. That VA panel is also slower than TN and OLED, so you might get ghosting or blurring in super-fast-action games. And you’re going to need a powerful machine—at least an RTX 4080 or 4090—to push 5K2K images that’ll get the most out of this monitor. That 1000R curve could also be annoying when coding and spreadsheeting.

Overall, the Odyssey G75F truly is a premium ultrawide gaming monitor, and right now you can save $300 on it at Amazon. If you want to explore other options, check out PCWorld’s picks for the best gaming monitors.
