'Truly a sight to behold': Samsung's 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 is one of the best ultrawide monitors out there, earning 4.5 stars in our review — and it's $700 off right now

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is one of the biggest movies of the year (in every way imaginable), but Samsung's Odyssey OLED G9 monitor is a highlight in Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale. Usually priced at $1,699.99, it's currently down to just $999.99 right now, saving you $700.

The enormous 49-inch Dual QHD OLED display and 32:9 aspect ratio effectively replace two 27-inch QHD monitors, giving you an super-wide workspace for productivity and entertainment.

Add a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and Nvidia G-SYNC Compatible support, and you've got a display that's as impressive for gaming as it is for multitasking and creative work.

Should you buy it?

✅ Buy the Odyssey OLED G9 monitor if...

You should if you're looking for a premium ultrawide monitor that excels at far more than gaming. The OLED panel produces exceptional contrast with deep blacks, HDR10+ support adds extra punch to compatible content, and the huge desktop space makes it fantastic for productivity, video editing, and creative work.

❌ Skip the Odyssey OLED G9 if...

You shouldn't if desk space is limited or you mainly use your PC for everyday office work. At 49 inches with a 32:9 aspect ratio, this is a huge display that demands plenty of room, and many people simply won't need this much screen real estate.

Why we recommend it

Samsung has combined a 5120 x 1440 OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 0.03ms response time, creating a monitor that feels equally at home handling fast-paced games and demanding professional workloads.

The anti-glare coating helps reduce reflections, while the height-adjustable stand, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB-C connectivity, and three-year warranty complete an impressively well-rounded package.

In her 4.5 star review, our monitor expert Allisa said the Odyssey OLED G9 is "an incredible monitor that's worth the cost." In addition, she found it to be "fantastic, with plenty of features, excellent display, and a pretty solid speaker system."

Price Context & Historical Value

The Odyssey OLED G9 normally sells for $1,699.99 at Best Buy, and this $700 discount brings the price down to just $999.99. That makes this flagship OLED ultrawide far more affordable for any buyers who may have previously considered it out of reach.

The Catch: What to know before you buy

This monitor is designed for creatives and enthusiasts, and you'll need a capable graphics card to make the most of its 5120 x 1440 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. At its discounted price, a penny under $1000, it's still a premium purchase, but if you can afford it, I would definitely recommend buying it.
