Samsung’s 49-inch OLED ultrawide monitor is… $500 off today

Normally priced at $1,300, the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G91SD) gaming monitor rarely gets a serious discount. You usually have to wait for a big sale, like Prime Day or Black Friday. But if you can’t wait, then today’s the next best day: get this monitor for just $800 on Amazon, an absolutely insane price for one of Samsung’s best displays.

This absolutely massive monitor is a dream pick for gamers. With a 49-inch OLED panel, it delivers super-crisp images in 5120×1440 resolution. That’s an ultrawide aspect ratio, by the way—the same as having two 1440p monitors side by side, except without an intrusive bezel down the center. Whether you’re streaming movies or playing games, the details will be sharp and the blacks will be darn near perfect.

Competitive gamers will love the super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate paired with the 0.03ms response time that basically eliminates screen lag and image tearing, even in the middle of fast-paced action. (You just need a powerful enough PC to pump out that many frames at this enormous resolution!) Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support also ensures your monitor is perfectly synced to your GPU frames.

The Odyssey OLED G9 (G91SD) also comes with some extra features to make your office experience just as great. You can use Picture in Picture to seamlessly manage multiple apps side-by-side, for example.

Don’t waste this opportunity to save a whopping $500 on Samsung’s 49-inch monster of a gaming display! Discounts like this are rare, indeed. If you miss it, though, you can still grab an excellent option by checking out PCWorld’s roundup of the best gaming monitors.
