Damn! Damn, damn, damn. Just a few weeks ago, I lost my resolve and finally picked up an OLED gaming monitor—so I missed out on this deal, which would have gotten me a much bigger one at a similar price. If you mosey over to eBay, you can find a massive Samsung ultrawide OLED for $879.99, almost a thousand bucks off its original price.
To be sure, $880 ain’t chicken feed, especially when you can find 49-inch super-wide screens for about half that if you don’t want an OLED panel. But for an OLED screen that can do 5120×1440 resolution—that’s two 1440p panels in one—and still handle 240Hz of refresh for super-speedy games, it’s a downright deal. Assuming your gaming PC can actually handle pushing nearly 1.8 billion pixels that quickly, of course.
This gigantic 49-inch display is impressive, but not perfect. It’s designed for desktops, as its USB-C ports are unfortunately incapable of video. And you’re paying for a lot of extras you might not use, like Samsung’s smart TV interface for streaming apps and games over Wi-Fi, and the 5-watt speakers you should ignore. For more details on the ups and downs of this screen, check out the full PCWorld review. Or see our roundup of the best monitors for comparison.
BuyDig is selling this monitor on eBay new—not refurbished!—so you should get the full warranty along with it. The listing shows a price of $1099.99, but you can use coupon code OUTLET20 at checkout to get 20 percent off, bringing the final price down to $879.99. That promo ends on April 14th, so get an order in quickly if you’re ready for it.
