The Samsung Odyssey series has some of the best computer monitors. Among that excellent line, the Odyssey G9 stands out thanks to its incredible stats and the sheer size of the ultrawide monitor. While it isn’t the cheapest out there, you don’t have to pay the full price for it right now. Thanks to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, the Odyssey G9 is now down to $950 — a massive $650 off its regular price, but only for a few hours. The Spring Sale wraps up today on its 7th and final day, so if you have been thinking about an upgrade, make the move before it is too late.
Deal or not, it’s easy to see why the Samsung Odyssey G9 is priced the way it is. The 49-inch dual QHD display looks stunning and has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03mn response time. Both of those things make this monitor perfectly suited to gaming, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro just puts the icing on the cake. Other features worth noting include HDR support, Gaming Hub and built-in support for Bixby and Alexa voice assistants.
