If you get in quick, there’s a genuinely outstanding Samsung OLED gaming monitor deal going right now, which enables you to save a massive $250 on the usual price of a Samsung OLED G6 screen. It’s a limited-time deal, so you need to go straight in for the kill if you want to take advantage of it, but if you do, you’ll get a 240Hz 26-inch OLED gaming screen for just $549.99.
With its Samsung QD-OLED screen, this monitor will provide high contrast, deep blacks, and, most importantly for gaming, a very quick response time. We’ve been really impressed by the quality of Samsung QD-OLED panels in our tests, which are used in many of the screens on our best gaming monitor guide, and this monitor will not only be great for gaming, but also for watching HDR movies and TV series with its HDR10 certification.
Whether you want to play cinematic single-player titles with bright colors and punchy contrast or play fast-paced, competitive first-person shooters, this Samsung Odyssey G61SD monitor has you covered. Samsung quotes a 0.03ms response time for this monitor, and while we found this same figure was a little overstated in our Samsung G9 G95SC review, which uses the same panel tech, we did find that the response time was still “lightning quick” – you really can’t beat an OLED screen for responsiveness right now.
Meanwhile, its 240Hz refresh rate ensures that the screen can keep up with fast frame rates from your graphics card. Not only that, but it also has official Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, and support for AMD FreeSync Pro, so it can synchronize its refresh rate with the frame rate output of your GPU, removing irritating tearing artifacts.
This screen’s 2,560 x 1,440 resolution is also ideal for the 27-inch screen size, ensuring that the picture is sharp, but without requiring the extreme GPU horsepower needed to play games at 4K.
If you want to take advantage of this deal, then you just need to click on this link here to take you to the Samsung store if you’re in the US. Buyers in the UK can also currently pick up this monitor for £599 at this link here, which isn’t as big a saving as you get in the US store, but is still a good deal nonetheless.
