Samsung is one of the top selling OLED gaming monitor brands, and that's no surprise if you've ever seen one of these massive Odyssey G9 monitors in person. The G93SC is a 49" display with a 5120x1440 dual-QHD resolution measuring out to a respectable 109ppi pixel density. It's equivalent to having two 27" QHD monitors placed side by side. The quantum dot OLED panel boasts near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time, near infinite contrast ratio, and true black levels. QD OLED panels are better than traditional W-OLED panels because they are brighter and have a wider color gamut.
The OLED G9 also features a 240Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. Note that you'll need a powerful graphics card (AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at the minimum) to achieve that kind of fps at 5120x1440 in higher-demanding games. With older or less demanding games like Fortnite, League of Legends, or Minecraft, you could get away with a mid-range card like the GeForce RTX 5070 or Radeon RX 9070.
As mentioned earlier, this monitor has a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in coverage. That's still pretty uncommon across most OLED brands, especially when you're looking at the less expensive models. Most come with just a 1 year warranty with no burn-in protection.
The Samsung OLED G9 has joined a host of Amazon gaming monitor deals that include a PC game code for Resident Evil: Requiem, the next mainline release in the Resident Evil franchise. The game on its own starts at $69.99 for the Standard Edition, so the deal gets you that much more in savings as well as a fresh AAA release to test out your new display.
