Best Buy Slashes Samsung’s 49-Inch Odyssey G950 OLED Monitor to $849

The steep cut signals unusually aggressive pre-Black Friday pricing across Samsung’s OLED gaming lineup.

Overview

  • Best Buy is listing the 49-inch Odyssey G950 at $849.99, more than 50% off its regular $1,800 price.
  • The OLED ultrawide features a 5120×1440 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, a combination that calls for a very powerful GPU to fully exploit.
  • Samsung’s built-in smart TV system enables streaming apps over Wi‑Fi without a connected PC.
  • Despite USB‑C ports, the monitor omits USB power delivery and USB‑C video support, limiting its usefulness with gaming laptops.
  • Discounts are broadening across the range, with Amazon offering the 37-inch 4K Odyssey G7 for $599.99 after a $300 drop.
