Since the recent launch of Alienware\u2019s $899.99 AW2725Q 4K OLED gaming monitor<\/a>, I\u2019ve changed my tune on how much I think people should shell out for a similarly-sized, yet lower resolution 1440p OLED display. It used to be somewhere around $800, but now, somewhere in the ballpark of $500 sounds right. Samsung\u2019s Odyssey G6<\/a> is a solid 1440p OLED, and it\u2019s currently marked down to $549.99 (originally $799.99). <\/p>\n

1440p (or QHD, as it\u2019s referred to interchangeably) is the best resolution to target for most gamers, in part because you don\u2019t need pricey, state-of-the-art PC components to run most games well (though, to be clear, you still need pretty powerful hardware for 1440p \u2014 the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti<\/a> is a great 2025 candidate). The Odyssey G6 comes with a 240 Hz maximum refresh rate, and with support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, the display won\u2019t exhibit annoying screen tearing. It also has a 3-year warranty that covers burn-in during normal use.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s $549.99 pricing jumped out at me, as it\u2019s the same price that Alienware has put on its upcoming 27-inch 1440p OLED gaming monitor<\/a> coming out this summer. However, Alienware isn\u2019t firm on the pricing, as it expects the recent increase in tariffs on products coming to the U.S. from China to impact pricing. The good news is that, since this Samsung monitor is discounted now, you don\u2019t have to wait until the summer to see how all of that shakes out.<\/p>\n
