Samsung’s Odyssey monitors have continued to impress us since they launched. The hardware is right up there with some of the best computer monitors we’ve seen from LG, Alienware and Apple. The 49-inch QHD screen uses Samsung’s QD-OLED technology and has a 32:9 aspect ratio with an 1800R curve. This combination will make sure your games feel as immersive as the developers intended.

Why this deal matters
If you’ve been looking to improve your setup with a display that helps increase immersion, the Odyssey lineup is one of the best on the market. The screen is large, gets bright and being a Samsung panel, it has some of the best color reproduction on the market. At this price, it’s still expensive, but it rarely drops lower than this.
