As part of Amazon's Handpicked event, Samsung has opened preorders for two new displays: the Odyssey G95C Curved Gaming Monitor and the Odyssey OLED G80SD Smart Gaming Monitor. Either of these exceptional monitors would make a great gift for players (or yourself) who want to take their gaming experience to the next level.

If that's not enough, Samsung also is offering buyers of either monitor a free gift -- choose among a Logitech Pro Wireless 2 Gaming Mouse, a Logitech G515 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and G309 Lightspeed Gaming Mouse bundle, or a Logitech Pro X Wireless Gaming Headset.
Before we discuss pricing, let's go over the monitors' specs. The Samsung Odyssey G95C is a massive 49-inch, curved gaming monitor running at Dual QuadHD resolution (5,120 x 1,440 pixels). It's so large you won't need a dual monitor setup when working or playing a video game. The width allows owners to place two app windows side-by-side.
The Odyssey G95C sports a curvature of 1000R, enveloping the user in a deeply immersive experience. Game play will extend to your peripheral vision, which puts you "right into the character's shoes," according to the company. The 240Hz refresh rate ensures velvety smooth action and the 1ms response time lets you react to onscreen movement as it happens.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 isn't as large as the Odyssey G95C -- measuring 32 inches -- but it boasts some impressive specs. For example, this 4K monitor can display a wide range of "colors, shades, and contrasts" at a peak brightness of 250 nits. Like the other model, Odyssey G8 has a refresh rate of 240Hz and an even faster response time of 0.03ms. Additionally, it houses a "dynamic cooling system" that lowers internal temperatures and automatically lowers screen brightness to reduce heat.

Both Samsung monitors go one sale Nov. 11. The curved Odyssey G95C is available for preorder for $999.99 while the Odyssey OLED G80SD costs $1,249.99. It doesn't appear you'll be able to choose the color scheme for the Logitech G515 keyboard bundle or the Pro X headphones (a $250 value). But you can choose between black or white for the Logitech Pro Wireless 2 mouse.
