When it comes to PC gaming, you’ll want a monitor that provides as much visual real estate as possible. After all, games these days have immense playing fields with tons of detail packed into every nook and cranny. It also doesn’t hurt to have a display that supports exceptional motion clarity and lag reduction tech. Fortunately, there are numerous flagship monitors that deliver crystal-clear picture, but many of these products are expensive. This is why we’re always on the lookout for monitor deals, and we found an awesome one from Samsung.

Right now, when you purchase the Samsung 34-inch G85SB Curved OLED Gaming Monitor through Samsung, you’ll pay $800. At full price, this big screen typically sells for $1,200. 

Why you should buy the Samsung 34-inch G85SB 

For those unaware, Samsung makes some of the best TVs and monitors for 2024. The 34-inch G85SB is a curved Odyssey OLED with 3440 x 1440 resolution and a 175Hz native refresh rate. That pixel count is a few rungs higher than traditional HD, which means all your favorite games (even some of the older titles) are going to look better than you’ve ever seen them before. This is also thanks in part to Samsung’s Neo Quantum Processor, a picture engine that prioritizes color and contrast accuracy. 

If you’re the kind of gamer who enjoys fast, action-heavy hits like Helldivers 2, the G85SB is designed to give you the best frame by frame performance. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is onboard to cut down on lag and improve response time, and with connections like USB-C and Micro HDMI 2.1, you’ll be future-proofed for most new PCs and consoles. We’re also big fans of the Core Sync technology and Core Lighting+, which mirrors in-game lighting to the RGB fixture on the back of the monitor!

It’s hard to say how long this Samsung sale is going to last, so it’s best to take advantage while you still can. Save $400 when you purchase the Samsung 34-inch G85SB Curved OLED Gaming Monitor. We also recommend checking out some of other Samsung deals and gaming PC deals we found this week.

Which is best? Best Buy’s dueling Labor Day deals on curved OLED monitors
A view of the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC that lets you see its curve.

Labor Day is here and that means a 3-day weekend and plenty of Labor Day deals. We've already had some coverage on Labor Day monitor deals, but wanted to explore more in what Best Buy had to offer. We found a pair of deals on curved OLED monitors that, at a precursory glance, were statistically similar — the LG UltraGear 45-inch OLED Curved and the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9. They're both excellent OLED monitors, have a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms GtG response times, have FreeSync, HDR 400, and countless other little statistical similarities. Plus, they're both exactly $600 off and within $100 of each other in final price. In other words, a headache for anybody that cares to quickly sort them out.

Ultimately, there are two ways to sort them One is the easy way, you can choose the monitor that is boxy or the monitor that extra wide. Or, you can do the due diligence on the monitors and find all of the extra details that differentiate them further than stats and shapes. Here are the two monitors presented, their sale prices, and the special tidbits that make them unique to help you make the final decision as to which one is right for you.

Need an ultrawide monitor? This 34-inch Samsung is $340 off
The Samsung CJ791 ultrawide.

When it comes to PC gaming, there are a handful of important components that can make or break your overall gaming experience. With lag and response time being key for single-player and multiplayer PC gaming experiences, it’s a good idea to make sure every AV device in your desktop rig is optimized for power and performance. But perhaps the most important part of this equation is your PC monitor. 

Sure, you could hook up just about any run-of-the-mill modern hardware to your PC, but motion clarity and artifacts may prevent you from seeing in-game visuals the way they were designed to be seen. As such, we’d like to draw your attention to a great B&H Photo deal on a Samsung monitor:
