It wasn’t very long ago that Samsung’s enormous, super-mega-giga-ultrawide gaming monitors were seen as a ridiculous extravagance, out of reach to all but the wealthiest of PC gamers. But good things come to those who wait, and now you can get a 49-inch Odyssey ultrawide gaming monitor for a much more attainable price. Today Amazon is selling it for just $699.99, a whopping 50 percent off and the lowest price we’ve seen it going for by far. With this discount, it’s going for under a third of its launch price, which is absolutely wild.
I should point out that this is the Odyssey G95NA, which uses a QLED VA panel instead of the more vibrant, contrast-heavy OLED model (which also sees some massive-but-not-quite-as-deep discounts). This monitor is just as big with the same 5120×1440 resolution (basically two QHD screens smooshed together) and speedy 240Hz refresh rate, which will bring your gaming PC to its knees on any recent AAA title. The QLED tech is a bit older, but does beat OLED in terms of brightness with 1000 nits and has a more dramatic 1000R curve.
The screen is built for gaming, but has some more button-down features as well, including a side-by-side mode for connecting multiple PCs or consoles, a built-in USB hub, and HDR10+ compatibility. Inputs include DisplayPort and dual HDMI, but sadly no USB-C video. The monitor is compatible with standard VESA mounts, but at 26.2 pounds without the stand, you may need a more beefy monitor arm than usual.
The Odyssey G95NA launched at a price of $2499 back in 2021. But as these niche monitors are wont to do, the price has plummeted as the competition has increased. Amazon is selling it for less than a third of its original price, and this is a new model, not refurbished. Amazon says it’s a “limited time deal,” but exactly how long the sale will last isn’t mentioned.
