Running a multi-monitor setup with your PC or laptop can get pricey, especially if your rig pulls double duty as a gaming build and workstation. But right now at Samsung, you can get two screens for the price of one and save some extra cash on your main screen. When you order the 49-inch Odyssey G9 OLED, you’ll save $600 and get the 24-inch Samsung Essential screen (a $140 value) for absolutely free.
This deal is selling fast, so if the 49-inch G9 OLED is unavailable, you can also choose the 34-inch Odyssey G8 OLED or the 27-inch Odyssey G9 3D. However, the 34-inch G8 is only marked down $200 while the G9 3D is selling at its regular retail price.

Along with an impressive amount of screen real estate, the Odyssey G9 OLED offers 1440p resolution for enhanced detail, as well as signature color accuracy and contrast, making everything from cozy pixel art sims to triple-A first-person shooters look their best. It also features a 0.03ms response time for near-instant reactions to your inputs and a 240Hz refresh rate to provide smoother motion during fast-paced gameplay. And with support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VRR, you’ll get more stable framerates across a variety of titles.

Worried about having to treat your new OLED monitor with kid gloves? Samsung integrated a thermal modulation system that automatically monitors your screen’s surface temperature and adjusts brightness on-the-fly. And to help prevent burn-in from static images, the screen can perform localized dimming to reduce the risk of damaging the OLED panel.
The Samsung Essential is a solid, if a bit basic, 1080p curved monitor designed for home and office use. With a 100Hz refresh rate, you’ll get smoother video playback for streaming and video calls. At the same time, the integrated eye saver mode helps filter blue light, reducing strain during long workdays or marathon gaming sessions.
How I rated this deal
While the Odyssey G9 OLED usually sees its steepest discounts around the holiday shopping season, being able to save $600 on a high-end gaming monitor and get a second screen for free is a tempting offer. The bundle is also available with the 34-inch Odyssey G8 and the 27-inch Odyssey G9 3D if you don’t need something quite as significant as the 49-inch model we’ve featured or if the G9 OLED is sold out. That’s why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor’s rating.
Some sizes advertised in this offer are currently out of stock at the time of publication.
Samsung is offering the G9 OLED and Essentials monitor bundle through February 8, 2026.
