There are gaming monitors, and then there are ultrawide gaming monitors. For anyone looking to maximize their screen real estate, one of the best (and widest) monitors in this category is on sale during Amazon Prime Day Round 2, as the excellent Samsung Odyssey G9 49-inch curved gaming monitor has dropped from its list price of $1,400 to a low $1,150.
Samsung Odyssey G9 49″ curved gaming monitor — $1,150 (was $1,400)
This particular model is the 49-inch version of the Odyssey G9, and it has several other nice numbers attached to its specs sheet as well. The QHD display boasts a 5120 x 1400p resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1000R of curvature. It is Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync compatible.
And did we mention this monitor is huge? Because it’s really huge. This 32:9 aspect ration monitor gives you essentially the same screen real estate as a pair of 27-inch monitors. As such, getting a high-end ultrawide like this for only $1,1500 is a superb deal.
Provided that you have the PC gaming hardware to take advantage of this screen, there are a number of terrific games that look astonishing when played in ultrawide aspect ratios. Sony’s lineup of PlayStation ports are good examples here, as games like Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered look spectacular on the QLED screen when you add in a wide stretch of Manhattan to swing through while clobbering criminals. It’s a unique option that delivers excellent visuals, but if you’re looking for something more affordable, there are a bunch of other (smaller) gaming monitors on sale during Prime Day as well.
