Earlier this summer, we took a hands-on look at Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED G9 Monitor, and today the first real chance to save is going live. The pricy new addition to the brand’s repertoire of battlestation fixings is now actually more affordable, thanks to Amazon cutting $400 off the new release. Right now, the Odyssey OLED G9 sells for $1,799.99 shipped after dropping from the $2,200 MSRP that we saw hit the scene in June. Marking the only chance to save since actually launching, this discount is well below the $50 off pre-order promotion and landing as a new all-time low. If you want to cut to the chase on if this monitor is worth the cash, our hands-on feature is worth a look. Otherwise, we break down what to expect for the new battlestation upgrade below.
Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED G9 monitor arrives with a massive 49-inch curved panel that boasts plenty of other impressive specs to live up to its title of world’s first 49-inch OLED monitor. It’s more than just about size this time around, with the gaming display also sporting a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response times. It’s support for DisplayHDR 400 only adds to how vibrant your games will look thanks to the OLED panel, with Samsung helping you take full advantage of the UltraWide form-factor by baking in the ability to turn the single monitor into two displays. You can plug in a secondary machine to play games on one side while managing your Twitch stream on the other, or even leverage its built-in smart streaming tech to pull up Netflix or another service.
I was able to take a hands-on look at the new Odyssey OLED G9 monitor back in June, and walked away quite impressed. My thoughts leaving the demo do speak for themselves, but there is certainly a little something extra now thrown in thanks to the $400 discount.
Also seeing one of its first discounts, Samsung’s just-refreshed M8 Smart Monitor delivers much of the same connected functionality. Now arriving with AirPlay 2 and that eye-catching iMac-inspired design, we saw a discount go live on the new 2023 model that takes $100 off in order to deliver a new all-time low at $600.
