OLED monitors are the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming, and Samsung makes one of the biggest, widest ones out there. The Odyssey OLED G9 is 49 inches of super-saturated, perfect-black glory, but it doesn’t come cheap, with a regular retail price of $1799. But today Amazon is offering it at the best price we’ve seen yet, just $999.99.
That’s $200 less than we saw it back in February, and in terms of dollars to pixels, it’s probably the best deal on any OLED gaming monitor at the moment. The Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC offers a resolution of 5120×1440 (basically two 27-inch gaming monitors squished together in one panel) with a refresh rate of 240Hz. Load up any recent 3D game at that resolution and you’re likely to make your PC beg for mercy.
So it’s a good thing the screen is compatible with both G-Sync and FreeSync, and includes HDR10+ color capabilities on top of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Gaming laptops aren’t left out, like some other OLED monitors: it has a built-in USB-C hub with 65 watts of power delivery.
It has tons of software tricks, too, including smart TV-style app support (with game streaming services like GeForce Now), splitscreen for multiple inputs, and support for Samsung’s wireless DeX from mobile devices. For a full rundown on this monstrously massive monitor, check out PCWorld’s review.
Amazon is offering the G95SC at $1099.99, but if you click the little “coupon” on the retail page you get $100 off at checkout, bringing the total price down to just $999.99. There’s no indication of how long this discount will last, so if you’re interested, don’t miss out on this screaming-hot deal.
