Samsung's expansive 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 dual 4K gaming monitor has fallen to its lowest price on record, available for $1,160 directly from Samsung. This represents a significant discount from its original $2,500 retail price at launch in late 2023.
Achieving this price requires a specific, albeit somewhat unconventional, method. The monitor is listed on Samsung's official store for $1,349.99. Users attempting to secure this deal should repeatedly reload the product page, as the discounted price is reportedly reserved for "select" customers, with page refreshes acting as a form of random selection. Once the $1,349.99 price appears, customers should add a $50 "Exclusive Upgrade Credit" to their cart and then apply the 10% off coupon code "L8AS4HAL4O" at checkout to reach the final price of $1,160, with free shipping included.
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 features a 7680x2160 resolution, effectively combining two 4K UHD monitors. Despite its size, it maintains a pixel density of 140ppi, comparable to a 32-inch 4K monitor. The display utilizes a Mini LED backlight with a quantum dot (QLED) panel, offering enhanced brightness and contrast ratios crucial for HDR content and mitigating glare. This technology provides superior local dimming capabilities compared to traditional LED displays.
Beyond its visual specifications, the Odyssey Neo G9 boasts an aggressive 1000R curve, designed to enhance immersion on such a wide display. It also delivers a 1ms response time and a 240Hz refresh rate, suitable for fast-paced gaming. The monitor is HDR1000 certified, capable of reaching up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness, and is FreeSync Premium Pro certified, offering compatibility with NVIDIA G-Sync.
Potential buyers should be aware that this monitor demands a substantial gaming budget and a powerful PC to drive its dual 4K resolution. Games that do not natively support the ultrawide aspect ratio may employ letterboxing. Samsung recommends a graphics card no less powerful than an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
