Samsung G5 gaming monitor hits new record-low pirce at Amazon — save $90

TL;DR: Amazon has the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G5 (G51F) QHD gaming monitor on sale for $159.99, down from its $249.99 list price. That saves you $90 on a 1440p gaming display.

If you’ve been holding off on upgrading your gaming setup from standard HD, Amazon has provided a tempting offer to finally make the jump to QHD. 

As of May 13, the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G5 (G51F) QHD gaming monitor is on sale for $159.99 at Amazon, marked down from its $249.99 list price. That makes it 36% off. This is the lowest price this monitor has ever been at Amazon (confirmed using price tracker camelcamelcamel).

For this new low price, this Odyssey G5 gives you a 27-inch QHD display with 2560x1440 resolution, which Samsung says packs 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD. That should give games a sharper look — covering anything you’re playing, like multiplayers in the realm of Fortnite or new single-player adventures like 007 First Light. 

The more time you spend gaming, the more the speed of this particular model stands out. The 180Hz refresh rate is built for smoother gameplay than a standard 60Hz or 75Hz displays (great for high-speed titles like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals), while the 1ms MPRT response time should help keep inputs feeling quick when a match suddenly gets hectic. AMD FreeSync is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing and choppiness.

To round out the G51F monitor, Samsung has added some luxury PC extras, like HDR10 for brighter highlights and deeper shadows, plus Black Equalizer for spotting enemies in darker areas. There’s also Virtual Aim Point and Auto Source Switch+ to give you an even bigger edge — while the ergonomic stand supports tilt, pivot, and height adjustments.

If you’ve got the budget for a model that’s bigger and even flashier, LG’s 39-inch OLED and curved UltraGear monitor is now only $749.99. Elsewhere, the 4K ASUS ROG Swift is $200 off.
