Samsung’s biggest OLED gaming monitor is on sale via Woot for just $770, an incredible discount if you’re okay with a refurb.
Samsung’s monitors tend to come with a bigger price tag than a lot of the competition, but somebody must know that they’re priced too high because they often go on sale, too. As is the case with this gigantic 49-inch OLED gaming monitor. Woot has it for just $769.99 right now (originally $1,799.99) and this deal is only good for the next three days.
There’s a lot to like about the Odyssey OLED G9. It’s the largest OLED panel you can get right now without switching to a full-blown television. The 5120×1440 resolution on the curved panel basically squishes two 27-inch 1440p monitors together side by side, and unlike some previous versions it’s still plenty speedy at 240Hz. PC gamers will appreciate the Nvidia G-Sync support, since actually trying to run a modern game at that resolution is likely to make your PC beg for mercy.
This monitor also includes speakers (please don’t use them) and Samsung’s smart TV tech with built-in streaming apps, which may or may not sway you (easy to ignore them if you want). Sadly, it lacks USB-C support so it won’t be great for a gaming laptop… but come on, this chonker is destined for an elaborate battlestation setup, especially since it has compatibility with a standard VESA monitor arm.
This is a refurbished monitor, one of the reasons it’s almost a thousand bucks under the going rate for a 49-inch OLED. That means it gets a 90-day warranty from Samsung, which is also well under the 1- and 2-year warranties we’ve seen on refurb hardware as of late. It still might be worth it if you’ve been itching for an OLED upgrade.
