Samsung Odyssey G9 G93SC OLED | 49-inch | 240Hz | 5120 x 1440 | OLED | $1,599.99$999.99 at Amazon (save $600)
Samsung's hot new silly-wide OLED monitor has barely even been released, but it's already on sale. It doesn't look bad value next to all those $1,000-plus 34-inch ultrawide OLED, does it? This is HDR gaming on a ridiculous scale.

For starters, it's OLED and that means per-pixel lighting that even full-array mini-LED LCD monitors like the G95NC can't even get close to. So, the G95NC is brighter, but this
