Samsung Odyssey Monitors Hit $150 Through Flash Deals at Best Buy and Amazon

Deep, time-limited discounts make high-refresh gaming displays widely affordable and reflect retailers clearing older stock after Samsung’s new lineup.

Overview

  • On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, two US retailers listed Samsung 27-inch Odyssey monitors for about $150 in short-run offers reported across multiple outlets.
  • Best Buy’s Deal of the Day featured a 27-inch Full HD Odyssey with a 240Hz IPS panel, 1ms response time, and G-Sync/FreeSync Premium support for $149.99 shipped as a one-day promotion.
  • Amazon reduced the 27-inch Odyssey G5 to roughly $150, a roughly 40% cut to a QHD (2560×1440) model with a 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, HDR10, and gaming features like Black Equalizer.
  • Both deals include free shipping but are described as limited by time and stock, so buyers should confirm exact model numbers, panel type, and checkout terms before purchasing.
  • Retailers’ steep markdowns trace to inventory clearing after Samsung’s 2026 monitor refresh, a pattern that makes high-refresh panels cheaper for competitive gamers but forces trade-offs between resolution and frame rates.
