Samsung’s giant Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor is $500 off ahead of October’s Prime Day
by Amazon October Prime Minister’s Day The event is right around the corner and more discounts on our favorite computer monitors are happening. It can be difficult to sift through all the great deals because there are so many. I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G9, a gaming monitor that is certainly best in class.

First, it’s huge. The Odyssey G9, as I’ll call it, measures a whopping 49 inches diagonally and outputs at a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 pixels. This is equivalent to having two Quad HD displays side by side. Furthermore, it has an 1800R curvature so when you sit in front, you will feel like the screen surrounds you from all sides. Its unique design delivers an unparalleled gaming experience. You’ll notice action in your peripheral vision that you typically don’t see on a smaller screen.
In addition to high resolution, Samsung monitors also have many features that work together to enhance image quality. You get DisplayHDR True Black 400 for high-contrast video. Shades of black look especially dark, and the software prevents other colors from bleeding out in darker areas. This is important protection because the Odyssey G9 has an OLED screen so the colors are extremely vibrant.
To maintain stable performance, it supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to ensure stable and stutter-free output. Gamers will appreciate the 0.03 ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate. Together, these two features allow you to stay ahead of your competition.
A screen of this size may seem impractical at first glance. However, I think the 49-inch monitor might be one of the most space-saving monitors on the market. A dual-monitor setup requires enough space for the pair, which can be difficult on a small desk. But the Odyssey G9 needs just enough room for the base, and it’s big enough to mimic a dual-screen setup. It’s also adjustable, so you can raise or tilt the screen if you need more space.

I should also point out that there’s more to curvature than just looking impressive. ONE Research by Harvard Medical School in 2016 found that people using curved screens reported less eye strain and blurred vision than those using flat screens.
I’ve wanted to buy a Samsung monitor for a long time but haven’t been able to because it’s too expensive. But now, Odyssey OLED G9 is being sold for $1,299 on Amazon. That’s $500 off the original price. That’s a great thing for such a good screen. It is worth serious consideration.
