Samsung's 49-inch OLED ultrawide monitor is $650 off

A year ago you’d be lucky to find any OLED gaming monitor under a thousand bucks. But we saw tons on sale during Amazon’s Prime Day, and just a week later there’s a new low price for one of its most popular models. The Samsung Odyssey G93SC, one of the biggest OLED monitors on the market, is just $901.71 on Amazon today. That’s not cheap by any stretch, but considering that the gigantic, luxurious ultrawide normally retails for $1,600, this is a remarkable discount.

Update: Amazon’s price has risen to $951.48 as of Friday morning, which is still a great deal. It’s likely that Amazon is running through various suppliers as this sale continues,

This super-duper-mega-ultrawide has a resolution of 5120×1440, essentially two QHD screens smooshed together on one curved panel. With a 240Hz refresh rate and .03ms response time it’s made for gamers first and foremost, but with HDR10+ support and an amazing picture thanks to OLED’s “perfect” contrast, it’s great for movies or other media, too. With the same software running Samsung’s smart TVs and an included remote, you don’t even need a PC to load up some streaming apps.

If you are connecting to it you can do so via HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C, though it doesn’t have enough downstream power to charge up a laptop. Two extra ports can handle accessories and you can mount it using a standard VESA arm, though you’ll want one that can handle it’s rated for its chunky 20.3-pound weight.

Amazon says this is a “limited time deal,” so if you weren’t sold on any of the Prime Day discounts, now’s the time to pull the trigger. Competitors aren’t matching this price — everyone else (including Samsung’s own store) seem to have it at around $1,100.
