Samsung makes some of the very best OLED monitors out there, and some of its top gaming monitors are getting some solid discounts for Prime Day.
The strongest deal on offer is on the Odyssey G6 (G61SH). This 27-inch monitor is one of the company’s latest displays, offering a 240-Hz refresh rate at a 2560 x 1440 resolution. It’s 36 percent off for Prime Day, coming in at $385 (down from $500). It’s been sold below its retail price off and on over the past few months, but this is the lowest it’s ever dropped to.
We tested the previous version of the G6 in late 2024, but the main difference is the lower refresh rate in the newer model. It was far more expensive at the time, however, and even the 360-Hz option is down to $600 (from $900). Either way, you’re getting a gorgeous gaming monitor. In SDR it only goes up to 250 nits, but games explode in HDR glory, maxing out at up 1,000 nits.
OLED also gets you that lightning-fast response time and motion clarity in games that traditional IPS displays can’t compete with.
One of my favorite aspects of Samsung’s OLED monitors is how thin the monitors are, giving them a very modern aesthetic. The same goes for the very flat base, which doesn’t waste a bunch of space on your desk.
The Odyssey G5 is also on sale, which was last updated last year. It shares a lot in common with the G6, as it’s also OLED and has the same resolution. The main difference is that the refresh rate is down to 180 Hz. It also uses a different base and stand design. At only $334, it’s a solid deal at $50 cheaper than the G6.
It’s startling how fast pricing on OLED monitors has dropped over the past few years. Once a premium technology reserved for the $1,000+ buyers, it’s now accessible to mainstream PC gamers. Samsung’s more refined design also makes it a more serious buy for content creators or anyone who wants a high-end display to work on.
We haven’t tested it ourselves, but Samsung’s massive ultrawide G75F is also on sale for $630, which is its lowest price in at least the last few months. This 49-inch monstrosity is not OLED, but it’s curved and has a 180-Hz refresh rate. And lastly, the company’s cheaper Odyssey G30D is on sale. It’s 1080p, but slides under $200.
