Samsung’s gorgeous 27-inch Odyssey OLED G60SF is on sale for $650 via Woot. That’s a significant discount of 35% off its $1,000 MSRP and a lot cheaper than we’ve ever seen it. On Amazon, for example, it has barely dropped below $700 as a historical low.
The G60SF is a gaming-focused monitor with top-notch specs, starting with its “sweet spot” resolution of 2560×1440 that’s high-def enough to impress without taxing your PC as much as a 4K monitor would. The 500Hz refresh rate is blazingly fast and the near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time gives you a leg up over your competitors in online multiplayer. As for the OLED panel, you get rich colors and deep blacks, perfect for triple-A cutscenes and watching TV/movies.
We reviewed the Odyssey OLED G60SF and gave it a solid 4 stars, praising it for its top-notch motion clarity, excellent image and color, and its premium metal build. Our expert reviewer Matt Smith also appreciated the matte finish, which is a bonus when used in rooms that are too well-lit for long gaming sessions.
If your gaming PC can comfortably push 4K at high frame rates, you may want to forego this for an OLED 4K instead. And with its lack of USB-C video with power delivery, it’s not a great fit for gaming laptops.
Otherwise, it’s one of the first OLEDs to hit 500Hz and this is a new low price since it launched back in August. Snag it now if you’re interested because there are only 16 hours left for this Woot deal. If you aren’t quite sold, see more options in PCWorld’s picks for the best gaming monitors.
