Needed an excuse to buy a humungous monitor? This early Black Friday deal from Amazon might be the encouragement you need. This Samsung monitor is more than 10% off right now.
When it comes to presenting games in all their glory, some fancy specs can be required and, thankfully, Amazon has obliged by dishing out a price cut to a high-end monitor. The Samsung Galaxy Odyssey G9 OLED (2023) is now £200 off, coming at £1,399.
Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED (2023) has more than 10% off right now
Save a massive £200 on the highly-rated Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED (2023), now only £1399.
Admittedly, this is a pricey monitor, even with the discount, but if you’ve ever considered one of Samsung’s big curved offerings then it’s a pleasant price cut. You’re getting a whole lot of screen as well as high-end gaming-friendly specifications at a price now comfortably under £1,500.
This deal looks great but, doing our research into the price cut, we don’t think it’s quite as shiny as the Amazon product page is touting. It suggests its 30% off, down from the £1,999 RRP. However, throughout the majority of October, the Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED (2023) sat at £1,599, so we’ve based our deal on that more recent price.
Either way, this is still the lowest price this new device has been on Amazon since it first cropped up in August, and £200 is a solid drop from its previous regular price of nearly £1,600.
