If you were hoping to score out some new accessories for your gaming PC with huge discounts during this Prime Day, I’ve got bad news. You missed it. It’s over now. That thing ended Friday, June 26 after going on for four full days. There is good news still though, and that’s that some select items have remained on sale even past the official end date of Prime Day.
Among these persistent deals is a 26% discount on the Samsung Odyssey G93SC Series curved gaming monitor. Usually you could find this gaming monitor selling for $1,149, but that discount has it down by $294 which brings it to only $855.
Now, this monitor is not for the faint of heart. This thing is a behemoth. It stretches across to 49 inches wide. It’s essentially two standard monitors stitched together, but without a seam in the middle—just one long, long screen.
“Two screens stuck together” is actually a great way to describe this monstrosity. That’s because you can actually use it as two side by side monitors. The picture in picture supports cuts the screen in half between two inputs which can run in their native resolutions.
The monitor has a OLED display which means everything in view will pop with brilliant color and rich contrast. The blacks will look extra dark and the whites will look extra bright.
Once You Go Curved
If you’ve never used a curved screen before, you might have the false impression that it is no more than a gimmick. I’m here to say that curved monitors are superior to flat ones. A curved screen better mimics how our eyes perceive the world around us, taking up more of our periphery so we can better immerse ourselves into the game we are playing. The Samsung Odyssey G9 has a 1800R curvature which does a great job wrapping itself around your field of vision.
The screen also pulls all the stops with regards to the more traditional specs one would consider when shopping for a gaming monitor. It’s working with a dual-QHD resolution. That means it’s still 1440p, but you know… twice as wide. Beyond that, it’s got a fast refresh rate of up to 240Hz to support high frame rates for smooth action. And this monitor has a lightning fast response time of just 0.03ms. That’s practically instantaneous reading of your inputs to give you the edge against competition and to just make every game you play feel light and snappy in the best way.
