Amazon has a great deal on the Samsung OLED G9 GP5SC right now. This curved gaming monitor features a dual QHD resolution, giving you two monitors’ worth of screen real estate on one display. The monitor typically lists for $1,799.99, but is just $1,349.99 on Amazon for a limited time.
If $1,350 seems like a lot of money to spend on a gaming monitor, you aren’t wrong, but Samsung offers quite a bit with this 49-inch curved monitor, including a 240Hz refresh rate with a 0.03ms GTG. It’s also equipped with HDMI, Display Ports, and a built-in cloud gaming smart hub that lets you take full advantage of your various cloud gaming experiences.
A solid monitor at a high price point
This is a high-quality OLED display, that, as you’d expect, provides vivid and bright colors with true blacks. The 1800R curvature gives you a full field of vision, letting you see more of your favorite games than a non-curved gaming monitor can offer.
One of the reasons you should go with a large, ultra-wide gaming monitor like this over multiple monitors is it ultimately takes up less space on the surface of your computer desk, while still giving you that large workspace that multiple monitors allows for. And with the built-in options on Windows that let you stack multiple windows next to each other, you can still take advantage of the ultra-wide dual QHD display like you would multiple monitors.
This monitor might not be as impressive as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, which Samsung bills as the “world’s first dual UHD monitor,” but it still offers a lot for the price tag. It has the same refresh rate as the more expensive option, but with a faster response time, meaning you can see what’s happening in games and movies more quickly. And because the monitor is equipped with AMD’s FreeSync, you can play games at high FPS (frames per second) without worrying about screen tearing, which can ruin the visuals on top graphical games like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3.
The specs
Justifying spending even $1,350 on a new monitor might be difficult, though, so let’s take a quick look at everything the Samsung OLED G9 GP5SC offers:
- 49-inch dual QHD display at 5120 x 1440 pixels, 240HZ refresh rate with a 0.03ms response time
- HDMI 2.1 connectors
- Display Port connectors
- Built-in USB Hub
- Built-in Cloud gaming hub
- Built-in Game bar lets you track FPS and change settings easily
- Built-in speakers for headphone-less play
- Smart TV experience baked in
- AMD Freesync Premium Pro offers stutter and tear-free gaming at high FPS
Considering the features and the massive ultra-wide display, along with its high resolution, $400 off the Samsung OLED G9 GP5SC is a solid deal. Samsung’s displays have long been some of the most impressive you can find on gaming monitors, too, offering excellent color options that won’t leave things looking washed out.
