This QLED Samsung Gaming Monitor Just Dropped to Its Lowest Price Yet

Gamers don’t need 49 inches of QLED screen or 240 Hz of refresh rate to play their games, but it sure does make gaming more fun. And if you’re looking for a great gaming experience, consider Samsung's Odyssey G9 for $849.99 ($1,399.99), which is matching its lowest price yet, according to Camelcamelcamel's price history.

Big, sharp, and curvy

The Samsung Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is not for regular gamers; it's for gamers who need to be extra. Curved monitors like this one mean your peripherals will be catching the edges of the screen (if you position the monitor correctly on your desk), giving you an immersive experience that only these monitors can deliver. And if you work from home and want to use the monitor for work, you can essentially use it as two separate screens by using two display port cables like in the video below. It's also adjustable to match your preferred height and angle.

The monitor measures 49 inches from corner to corner, with an aspect ratio of 32:9, 240 Hz of refresh rate, and an Nvidia G-Sync with adaptive sync. It has a 5120 by 1440 resolution on a QLED screen with 1,000 nits of luminance, and a peak brightness of 193 candelas per square meter. (It's very bright.) You get two USB ports, an HDMI display port, a headphone jack, and an ethernet port for faster internet connection. The Samsung Odyssey G9 is much cheaper than it was during its 2020 release date, mainly because of the Odyssey Neo G9, which, as the name implies, it’s the newer version. However, the Samsung Odyssey G9 is still a great gaming monitor for about half the price. You can read the full "excellent" review from PCMag here.
