This enormous, 240Hz OLED gaming monitor is probably more than your PC can handle, going for just $850 at Best Buy right now.

Pardon my impenetrable technology journalist jargon, but: Hoo, doggie. We’re finally starting to see some better OLED monitor deals after a frankly disappointing year. for example, Samsung’s gigantimax OLED, the 49-inch Odyssey G950, is just $849.99 at Best Buy right now. That is more than half off its regular $1,800 price.
The G950 is 49 inches of OLED goodness, with a 5120×1440 resolution (that’s two 1440p monitors side by side) and an impressive 240Hz refresh rate. If you have a desktop PC that can put out over seven million pixels, two hundred and forty times every second, then you have my respect and my envy. This monitor could bring my desktop to its knees with unmodified Minecraft.
But that’s not all. In addition to all that curvy PC gaming goodness, this monitor doesn’t need a PC at all to serve up some video. It had Samsung’s smart TV system built right in, making it a capable (if extremely big) connection to all your streaming apps anywhere you’ve got Wi-Fi. The only thing that it doesn’t have is USB power delivery or video, despite having USB-C ports, so it’s not a great companion to a gaming laptop.
This is the most dramatic discount I’ve seen on any monitor in the lead-up to Black Friday, and there were already some pretty decent OLED deals in the bunch. If you’re interested in setting this monster up without losing too much desk space, you might also want this heavy-duty VESA monitor arm.
