When it comes to Black Friday deals, gaming hardware is very much on my radar, and this incredible Samsung Odyssey G9 that's now well below $1,000 proves it.

You can grab this 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 gaming monitor for $799 at Amazon, which will get you an immersive ultrawide display with a 32:9 aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate, and huge savings when upgrading your gaming setup. If you don't, I probably will at this price.

Between the low 1ms response time and high 240Hz refresh rate, any PC game you throw at it will look super smooth. Even better, that crazy 32:9 aspect ratio means dual-monitor setups aren't needed, as the Odyssey G9 is wide enough for multitasking or getting completely immersed in games.

Sure, this behemoth of a gaming monitor may take up way too much desk space (make sure you have a big enough setup), but as our reviewer notes: "The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 might seem ostentatious due to its wider-than-wide 49-inch curved display. However, that same curvature makes this gaming monitor so immersive."

Another downside is its high price tag — but not currently! Now that it's $799, this is value at its finest.
