TL;DR: The Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF) gaming monitor is on sale for $349.54 at Amazon, down from its $499.99 list price.
OLED gaming monitors are gradually becoming less of a drag on one’s upgrade budget, with Amazon’s new Labor Day price drops making it possible to get one of Samsung’s newer Odyssey displays for under $350.
As of Sept. 7, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF SKU) gaming monitor has dropped to $349.54 on Amazon, shaving $150.45 off its $499.99 list price for a 30% discount. In addition to Amazon selling and shipping the monitor directly, you’ll also get the retailer’s standard free 30-day refund or replacement window.
For that price, Samsung is packing in a 27-inch 2560 x 1440 QHD screen built around QD-OLED technology, giving darker scenes the richer blacks and stronger contrast you’d expect from an OLED panel. HDR10 is also supported, and the Pantone Validated display is rated to reproduce more than 2,100 colors.
The G5 isn’t just improving rounds of Fortnite or sessions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered through boosts to image quality, either. The 180Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort is paired with a 0.03ms GtG response time. At the same time, NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync help smooth out frame-rate mismatches in fast-paced games, including Counter-Strike 2.
Samsung has also fitted the monitor with its Glare Free coating, which the company says is 54% less glossy than conventional anti-reflection film. What’s more, the OLED Safeguard adds extra measures, including thermal modulation, logo and taskbar detection, and a screen saver to help reduce the risk of burn-in.
