OLED monitors are all the rage for PC gamers right now. But even if you’re ready to dive in with an upgrade, you don’t want to spend more money than you have to, right? Well, set your sights on this Samsung Odyssey OLED G8, a 34-inch ultrawide that’s going for just under $640 on eBay — that’s almost half off its original $1,200 price.
At 34 inches and a semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution with 175Hz of refresh, the curved OLED G8 LS34DG856SNXZA is neither the biggest nor the fastest OLED monitor on the market, but it’s a great size for anyone who wants an upgrade over standard 1440p without pushing their graphics card to the breaking point. While this screen does support AMD FreeSync and standalone Wi-Fi-connected apps (a la Samsung’s smart televisions), note that it doesn’t support USB-C video. You’ll have to make do with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort.
According to the eBay listing (from BuyDig, a reliable seller if you’re wondering), using the coupon code SAVEBIG20 takes an additional 20 percent off the $799 sale price, bringing the final price down to just $639.20. Don’t forget to apply the code at checkout because it isn’t automatic. With free 2-to-3-day FedEx shipping and Pennsylvania state sales tax, I’m seeing an out-the-door price of $687.14.
This deal isn’t lighting up the eBay sales charts, as we saw deeper discounts on Black Friday and over the holidays. If you’ve waited this long to jump up to OLED, you can probably wait a little longer — but if you’re itching to upgrade, this is a pretty darn good deal.
