Cyber Monday Deal: $900 Off the 49″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming Monitor
Amazon is offering the best prices on the 49″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 and G9 gaming monitors for Cyber Monday. If they seem familiar to you, that’s because they’ve been carried over from Black Friday. It’s nice that Amazon has kept the price the same because everyone else (including Samsung direct) has raised the price of the Neo G9 by $100 or more. On top of that, Amazon is offering an additional 10% cashback in savings for anyone who pays with an Amazon Prime Card.
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 49″ Mini LED Gaming Monitor: One of the Best Gaming Monitors Around
Extra Potential Savings Alert: If you have an Amazon Prime Card, you can get 10% cashback ($140). That effectively drops the price to $1259.99. If you’re an Amazon Prime member but you don’t have the Amazon Prime Card, well then you should totally sign up for one, since there is no annual fee. This is an amazing card because it gives you 5% cashback on all purchases on Amazon all year round.
So what makes this monitor worth the price? The main thing is the Mini LED display. Samsung’s highest end “Odyssey” series gaming monitor is also Samsung’s only monitor equipped with a Mini LED backlight combined with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. You’ll find Mini LED backlights only in the higher end 4K TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ XDR display, the priciest iPad on the market.
The Samsung Neo G9 isn’t a one trick pony, and all the other specs live up to the hype of a top-end gaming monitor. This truly massive 49″ curved panel monitor boasts a pixel dense 5,120×1440 resolution. That curve, by the way, is pretty extreme (1000R), to the extent that it almost hugs you as you play games. It offers a 1ms response time and a 240Hz refresh rate, which means virtually no input lag or motion blurring. It is HDR2000 certified, meaning it is possible of displaying a searing peak brightness of 2000nits. Plus, it offers G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro support. And it has two HDMI 2.1 ports.
Obviously the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn’t a monitor for everyone. You need a rather generous gaming budget if you want to add this to your rig. The cost keeps many us gamers at bay, but certainly the barrier to entry has been signficantly lowered with this deal today.
