Score a 32-inch 4K 240Hz Odyssey OLED G8 monitor and FREE Odyssey G3 with Samsung’s early Black Friday sale
As a part of its early Black Friday sale, Samsung is offering its new Odyssey OLED G8 4K UHD 240Hz gaming monitor down at $999.99 shipped. This is a fairly new unit that debuted earlier this year in June carrying a $1,300 price tag, and today’s deal shaves a solid $300 off its usual going rate. We’ve seen this display drop to the $948 mark on Amazon where it is currently fetching the same $1,000 price, but today’s deal at Samsung’s online store delivers a better value overall with a FREE 27-inch 180Hz Odyssey G3 gaming monitor, which is currently going for $160 on its own.
