If you’re itching for a new monitor upgrade, now’s the time. This Samsung gaming monitor deal from Amazon is a true crowd pleaser, with the mega retailer knocking a huge $370 off the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G65B, pushing the price of this 1440p curved display down to just $429.99.
We’ve been impressed by many previous Samsung monitors, such as you can read about in our Samsung Odyssey G9 G95SC review. That massive panel currently sits on our best gaming monitor guide as the best superwide OLED option, but the company has plenty of pedigree when it comes to smaller, more affordable displays too.
This particular model comes equipped with a spec sheet to rival the best of them, including a speedy 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. It also ships with a VA panel which, as our IPS vs VA guide explains, we’ve found to provide higher contrast and deeper blacks than rival LCD tech, making it a great option for those big budget cinematic games, although it isn’t as great for fast moving first-person shooters, thanks to the slower response times of VA monitors.
However, the 240Hz refresh rate supported by the G65B still leaves plenty of room for it to keep up with the frame rates output by your graphics card. Meanwhile, AMD FreeSync support gives AMD GPU owners the ability to sync the display’s refresh rate with your game, helping to stop distracting screen tearing effects in the process. It isn’t officially rated for Nvidia G-Sync support, but we’ve often found that FreeSync-enabled displays will work with G-Sync so gamers with Nvidia GPUs should be able to get the most from this display – we just can’t guarantee it.
The ergonomic stand leaves plenty of room for adjustment, with height, tilt, pivot, and swivel options available, while the G65B also comes with two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, giving you the option to hook it up to your consoles and your PC. There’s even a speaker included and, although it won’t be as powerful as the best computer speakers out there, it will be a solid backup option if you’re lacking good audio output at the moment.
If you’re looking for a good all-rounder monitor for video and gaming alike, this Samsung Odyssey G65B is a solid option, and with a 53% saving to be had right now, it’s sure to sell out quickly. You can grab it for yourself right now by clicking this link through to the Amazon website. UK gamers, meanwhile, can purchase a similar spec model from Amazon UK for £412.95 using this link instead.
