Samsung’s 27-inch 1440p OLED gaming monitor is only $350 today

It’ll be a while before we get a Steam Machine, and buying a new desktop or gaming laptop right now is… not really a value proposition. But fortunately, OLED gaming monitor upgrades are becoming more and more affordable. Samsung usually puts a small “tax” on its prices, but today its 27-inch OLED model is down to $349.99 at B&H.

The Odyssey G50SF isn’t the company’s flashiest OLED monitor, but at 27 inches and 2560×1440, it currently hits the “sweet spot” for PC gaming. With a 180Hz refresh, it’s a nice upgrade over the base gaming models, with support for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync if you want more intense cinematic gaming.

That’s about it in terms of specs. The rear connections include a USB-A port, but that’s for tech service only. Otherwise, it’s a single DisplayPort, HDMI, and headphone jack. But I’m happy to see a standard VESA mount, if you want to add a monitor arm.

B&H treats this discount a little strangely. The price is $549.99 on the site, with a $200 discount that only appears when you put the monitor in your cart. (Still active as of this writing.)
