Samsung’s monitors tend to come with a bigger price tag than a lot of the competition, but somebody must know that they’re priced too high because they often go on sale, too. As is the case with this gigantic 49-inch OLED gaming monitor. Woot has it for just $769.99 right now (originally $1,799.99) and this deal is only good for the next three days.
There’s a lot to like about the Odyssey OLED G9. It’s the largest OLED panel you can get right now without switching to a full-blown television. The 5120×1440 resolution on the curved panel basically squishes two 27-inch 1440p monitors together side by side, and unlike some previous versions it’s still plenty speedy at 240Hz. PC gamers will appreciate the Nvidia G-Sync support, since actually trying to run a modern game at that resolution is likely to make your PC beg for mercy. For more details, check out the full PCWorld review.
This monitor also includes speakers (please don’t use them) and Samsung’s smart TV tech with built-in streaming apps, which may or may not sway you (easy to ignore them if you want). Sadly, it lacks USB-C support so it won’t be great for a gaming laptop… but come on, this chonker is destined for an elaborate battlestation setup, especially since it has compatibility with a standard VESA monitor arm.
This is a refurbished monitor, one of the reasons it’s almost a thousand bucks under the going rate for a 49-inch OLED. That means it gets a 90-day warranty from Samsung, which is also well under the 1- and 2-year warranties we’ve seen on refurb hardware as of late. It still might be worth it if you’ve been itching for an OLED upgrade. If not, then check out PCWorld’s roundup of the best monitors available.
