Samsung’s 49 inch Odyssey G9 curved gaming monitor has dropped to $649.99 in a new U.S. deal, cutting $350 from its listed $999.99 price.
That represents a 35 percent discount and, according to the supplied listing, is the lowest price recorded for this model.
The Odyssey G9 combines an ultra wide 32:9 display with a 1000R curve, 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, DisplayHDR 600 support, variable refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

The 49 inch screen replaces a dual monitor style setup
The Odyssey G9’s defining feature is its unusually wide 32:9 panel.
Samsung describes the display as roughly equivalent to placing two conventional 16:9 monitors side by side.
That gives you a large amount of horizontal workspace without the bezel gap that comes with a traditional two monitor setup.
The 1000R curvature is designed to wrap more of the screen around your field of view, which can be particularly useful in racing games, simulators, and titles that properly support ultra wide resolutions.
The supplied material does not provide the exact panel resolution, so that specification is not included here.
144Hz and 1ms target smoother gaming
The monitor offers a 144Hz refresh rate and a claimed 1ms response time.
Those specifications are aimed at reducing motion blur and making fast movement feel more responsive compared with standard 60Hz displays.
Variable refresh rate support is also included.
AMD FreeSync Premium Pro can synchronize the monitor’s refresh rate with compatible GPU output, reducing visual problems such as tearing and stutter when frame rates fluctuate.
That should be particularly useful in demanding games where maintaining a perfectly fixed frame rate is difficult.
DisplayHDR 600 improves brightness and contrast
The Odyssey G9 also carries VESA DisplayHDR 600 support.
The supplied listing highlights improved contrast, brighter highlights, and deeper dark areas as some of the benefits.
HDR performance can vary depending on the content and display implementation, but the certification places the monitor above more basic HDR capable screens.
For games with proper HDR support, that can make bright effects, dark environments, and high contrast scenes appear more distinct.
Picture in picture makes the screen useful beyond gaming
The large display area can also be divided for multitasking.
Samsung supports split screen use as well as picture in picture functionality, allowing other content to remain visible alongside your main activity.
For example, you could keep a chat window, video, guide, or another input visible without needing a second physical monitor.
That makes the Odyssey G9 potentially useful for productivity setups as well as gaming.
The supplied material does not specify the exact number of simultaneous inputs or layouts supported.
Auto Source Switch+ simplifies changing devices
Another included feature is Auto Source Switch+.
When a connected device powers on, the monitor can automatically detect the active signal and switch to it.
That removes the need to manually cycle through inputs each time you move between devices.
For setups involving a gaming PC, console, work system, or multiple computers, this can reduce some of the friction involved in sharing one display.
The discount brings the G9 down to $649.99
The current deal reduces the monitor from $999.99 to $649.99.
That is a $350 saving.
The supplied material states that the offer is specific to the United States and may not be available in other regions.
At this price, the main attraction is the combination of a 49 inch 32:9 curved panel, 144Hz gaming performance, adaptive sync, HDR support, and multitasking features.
For buyers who already wanted a very wide single display rather than a conventional dual monitor setup, the 35 percent discount significantly lowers the entry price for this particular Odyssey G9 configuration.
