Damn! Damn, damn, damn. Just a few weeks ago, I lost my resolve and finally picked up an OLED gaming monitor—so I missed out on this deal, which would have gotten me a much bigger one at a similar price. If you mosey over to eBay, you can find a massive Samsung ultrawide OLED for $879.99, almost a thousand bucks off its original price.
To be sure, $880 ain’t chicken feed, especially when you can find 49-inch super-wide screens for about half that if you don’t want an OLED panel. But for an OLED screen that can do 5120×1440 resolution—that’s two 1440p panels in one—and still handle 240Hz of refresh for super-speedy games, it’s a downright deal. Assuming your gaming PC can actually handle pushing nearly 1.8 billion pixels that quickly, of course.
This gigantic 49-inch display is impressive, but not perfect. It’s designed for desktops, as its USB-C ports are unfortunately incapable of video. And you’re paying for a lot of extras you might not use, like Samsung’s smart TV interface for streaming apps and games over Wi-Fi, and the 5-watt speakers you should ignore.

BuyDig is selling this monitor on eBay new—not refurbished!—so you should get the full warranty along with it. The listing shows a price of $1099.99, but you can use coupon code OUTLET20 at checkout to get 20 percent off, bringing the final price down to $879.99. That promo ends on April 14th, so get an order in quickly if you’re ready for it.
