Turns out it's a weirdly good time to buy a new Samsung gaming monitor

pcgamer.com:

Samsung gaming monitors are some of the best around. Whether it's strapping quantum dot filters to its panels, or stretching them out to be the widest around, Samsung almost always delivers a great gaming experience. And there are a host of great deals on its screens today.

Sporting a 240Hz refresh rate, this 1440p screen sports a Quantum Dot filter to boost color reproduction, and adds a decent 600cd/m² brightness level to the picture. This isn't the cheapest it's been, but is still a decent price for this panel.

Samsung Odyssey G70A | 28-inch | 4K | IPS | 144Hz | $799.99$629.99 at Gamestop (save $170)(opens in new tab)But if you absolutely, positively, have to have 4K, then the Odyssey G70A is a
