If you’re looking for an ultra-widescreen, then the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is the perfect option because it’s chock full of great features. Besides the absolutely gorgeous OLED display, it runs a 2k resolution that can hit a whopping 240Hz refresh rate; you’ll likely need one of the best GPUs to run it. It also has a low response time of 0.03ms GTG, as well as support for HDR10+ and coverage of 99% of the DCI color gamut. You can even split it into dual QHD monitors if you need to get work done and require two screens, so it’s a very versatile monitor.

If you really want one of the best gaming monitors on the market, then the second generation of the Samsung Odyssey Ark is the way to go, even though it might be a bit of an overkill. Sitting at a truly massive 55 inches, the Ark isn’t only unique in its size but also in the fact that it can rotate 90 degrees to a vertical configuration that Samsung calls “cockpit mode.” That essentially allows you to run three 27-inch screens, one on top of the other and offers another layer of productivity. The screen runs an overall resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and comes with Samsung’s Quantum HDR 32x, although it also supports HDR10+ for other content.

Best early GPU Black Friday deals: Save on top graphics cards now

Update 11/15/24: While the deals on GPUs don't generally tend to be that great, we've found a lot of great deals as we get closer to Black Friday. We've added a few to the list below, as well as updated the already existing deals so that you can have the latest info.

Building a PC from scratch can be a lot of fun, and with the upcoming Black Friday on November 29, it's a perfect time for you to pick up hardware. One of the most fun bits of any build is picking the parts, and for that, graphics cards are probably the most fun to pick between. That said, GPUs also tend to be the most expensive pieces of hardware that go into a desktop, especially if you're trying to aim for something in the mid-to-high-end range that can easily reach $500 or even $1,000. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite early Black Friday GPU deals for you below.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale

Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.

Update 11/19/24: We've updated all the deals below to the latest pricing, as the deals are getting better the closer November 29 gets, which is the official start of Black Friday. Be sure to check back regularly as we update the prices and add better deals!

If you're thinking of building or upgrading a PC, then you'll really want to grab yourself some great early Black Friday deals on RAM. A lot of folks may not really think about RAM because it's not as big of a deal as a GPU or CPU, but RAM can affect performance, so it's worth grabbing something good. Not only that, but certain operating systems, like Windows 11, love to eat up RAM, so upgrading it can make a huge difference to your day-to-day experience, especially if you're only running 8GBs. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite early Black Friday RAM deals below.
