Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch monitor sees price drop to $1,260 at Samsung, 99 at Amazon
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch curved gaming monitor is currently available at two different price points, depending on the retailer. At Samsung, the display is listed at $1,260 shipped, while Amazon is offering it for 99. Both deals represent significant savings, though the exact discount varies by source.
At Samsung, the $1,260 price requires entering promo code L8AS4HAL4O at checkout and clipping an on-page upgrade credit, as reported by 9to5Toys. That outlet notes the monitor originally carried a $2,500 price tag and has recently been fetching closer to $2,100 at Amazon, making the current deal a $840 reduction off that recent going rate. 9to5Toys describes the price as the lowest of the year, adding that the monitor has only been seen for less once before, when it briefly dropped to $800 at Amazon.
At Amazon, the same monitor is listed at 99, down from a usual price of 99, according to Mashable. That represents a $650 saving and a 31% discount, as of August 19. Mashable's coverage does not mention any promo code requirement for the Amazon price.
The two outlets thus report different current prices and different reference prices. 9to5Toys cites a $2,500 original price and a recent going rate of around $2,100, while Mashable cites a usual price of 99. The discrepancy in the discount amount — $840 versus $650 — stems from these different baselines.
Monitor features
Both outlets agree on the core specifications of the Odyssey Neo G9. It is a 57-inch curved Mini-LED panel with Dual UHD resolution, effectively providing the screen space of two 4K monitors side by side. The display offers a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, with 9to5Toys specifying a 1ms response time and Mashable noting a 1ms GTG response time. The monitor also includes a 1000R curve, as reported by Mashable.
Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1 and HDMI 1 ports, according to both outlets. 9to5Toys adds that the monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and features a stand with swivel, tilt, and height adjustments. Mashable highlights a 1,000 nit peak brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and notes the monitor can be used as two displays in one, with two 32-inch UHD displays each at 3840 x 2160 resolution.
Other Samsung monitor deals
Alongside the Neo G9, 9to5Toys mentions that Woot is running deals on other Samsung monitors, with prices starting at $118. Mashable, in a separate article, covers a different Samsung display: the 27-inch Odyssey G5 (G51F) QHD gaming monitor, on sale at Amazon for 99, down from a typical price of 99. That deal, as of August 21, represents a $72 saving (32% off) and is described as the lowest price seen for that model, confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel. Mashable also notes that Amazon is selling and shipping the display directly, with free delivery estimated for August 26, and Prime members can receive it by August 22. Free 30-day returns or replacements are included.
The 27-inch G5 features a VA panel at 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, a 180Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms moving picture response time (MPRT). It supports AMD FreeSync, HDR10, Black Equalizer, Virtual Aim Point, and Auto Source Switch+, and has a height-adjustable stand with tilt and pivot. Mashable also mentions that the 32-inch version of the Odyssey G5 is on sale for $50 more, and that the Acer Predator (X27U F5) QHD-OLED monitor is available at $300 off.
