$189.
That is what Amazon is asking for the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G55C today. Down from its usual $320 sticker price. You save $130.
It is the cheapest this QHD monitor has ever been, verified by camelcamelcamel. Not a glitch. Just a deal.
So what are you buying with those savings? A curved screen. Specifically the 1,0000R curvature meant to catch more of your peripheral vision. Pulling you into the scene without straining your eyes. It is 1,440p resolution, so images look sharper than your old 1080p setup. But not as heavy on your GPU as a 4K panel. A reasonable middle ground.
Specs? Plenty.
- 165Hz refresh rate
- 1ms MPRT response
- AMD FreeSync support
- HDR10
Smoother frame pacing, better reaction times, less motion blur. Whether you are grinding Fortnite or revisiting Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag (Resynced, naturally), it should feel tighter. Look better, too. HDR helps pop the colors, assuming you have a dark enough room.
Is it just for games? No. If you work from home, this monitor has an Eye Saver Mode. It reduces blue light, supposedly. Plus a matte, glare-free screen. Makes sense for staring at spreadsheets between matches.
Curious about alternatives?
You could step up. The Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED is $200 cheaper than usual, but still more expensive. Or go the other way. The non-curved Odyssey G5 sits at $149. Cheaper. But flatter. Less immersion.
The choice is yours. $189 gets you the curve and the size. It might just be the best upgrade in your price range. For now.
Prices change fast. Maybe faster than your attention span.
