A running gag here at The Verge and on The Vergecast is that ever since Samsung switched to a six-day workweek for its executives, it’s made some particularly wild decisions — like throwing out its own unique earbud design for glorified Apple knockoffs with light strips. And right now, Samsung will not only sell you its impressive 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) 49-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor for $1,099.99 (a discount of $700), but it’s also including a second, 24-inch Odyssey G30D monitor for free (a $150 value).
The deal price is being matched at Best Buy and Amazon but without the freebie second monitor. And why wouldn’t you want a second baby monitor to compliment your wraparound surfboard of a main monitor?
The 49-inch Odyssey G95SC is one of Samsung’s top-tier options for gaming monitors, offering up to a 240Hz refresh and a fast 0.03ms response time that’s fit for even twitch shooter-style competitive games. But it’s not all about speed — the OLED panel means the G95SC renders some beautifully deep blacks with contrast that really makes your games pop.
