$599.99 Save $200
OLED gaming monitors are among the priciest peripheral upgrades you can buy, but you can save $200 on a top-level Samsung model right now.
As of July 1, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 gaming monitor is on sale for $399.99 at Amazon. That's 33% off the $599.99 list price of this QD-OLED display.
This is the 240Hz Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G61SH model, with a 27-inch QHD screen, 2560x1440 resolution, and a rapid 0.03ms response time. In layman’s terms, I’d recommend this as a fantastic OLED boost for PC players who understandably want fast-moving visuals without paying more for the 360Hz version.
For competitive games like Fortnite, League of Legends, or even a round of Fall Guys, the 240Hz refresh rate gives you much smoother motion than a standard 60Hz or 144Hz display, while AMD FreeSync Premium helps keep the monitor and GPU in sync to reduce screen tearing, lag, and choppy-looking action.
As for the Odyssey G6’s OLED panel, the QD-OLED display is built for high brightness and a wide colour range, with HDR10 support adding brighter highlights and more detailed shadows. It’s also Pantone Validated, with support for over 2,100 colours and more than 110 skin tone shades — making all manner of visuals pop when you’re playing cinematic adventure games like Pragmata or the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
For those who are worried about potential drawbacks of OLED, Samsung has even included OLED Safeguard tech, which uses a thermal modulation system to help reduce the risk of burn-in.
If you’re shopping for other brands, LG’s Ultragear QHD monitor is on sale at $300 off. For another option from Samsung, the 27-inch G5 monitor is now $100 off.
