This summer, Samsung Electronics America is bringing its industry-leading Odyssey monitor series to over 800 Best Buy stores nationwide through an innovative Odyssey Monitor Showcase. As part of the rollout, Best Buy will offer customers up to $600 in savings and a $50 gift card with their purchase of select Samsung monitors in-store and on BestBuy.com between Monday, August 19, and Sunday, September 1.
The Samsung Odyssey Monitor Showcase will allow Best Buy customers to explore the Odyssey series range and discover why Samsung continues to lead the gaming monitor market with its innovative, high-performance products. Samsung has maintained its position as the top brand in the global gaming monitor market for five consecutive years based on total revenue. In 2024, the International Data Corporation (IDC) recognized Samsung as the global leader in OLED monitors, capturing 34.7% of the market share.
In addition to a broad assortment of monitors, from mainstream to high-resolution models, each store's Odyssey Monitor Showcase will highlight three unique Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors: the 49-inch OLED G9, 27-inch OLED G6, and 27-inch G50D. The showcase will also provide information on the 34-inch OLED G8, 32-inch OLED G8 and 32-inch G50D. Best Buy's expert Blue Shirts will be available to help customers find the best model for their needs.
The award-winning Odyssey OLED G9 is the world's first 49-inch OLED monitor. Its curved ultrawide screen wraps around the user's field of view to create a fully immersive gaming experience. A Neo Quantum Processor Pro instantly analyzes and optimizes every frame on the screen for maximum picture quality, offering brighter whites, deeper blacks and near-infinite color contrast. OLED technology also delivers ultrasmooth, lag-free gameplay with an astounding 0.03ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate.
Launched in June 2024, the OLED G6 is one of the newest QHD gaming monitors and the fastest Samsung Odyssey monitor on the market, boasting a 360Hz refresh rate. With its 250 nits of brightness and an expansive spectrum of colors, the OLED screen brings every scene to life in vivid detail. Built-in OLED Safeguard+ technology also helps to protect the screen, including dynamic cooling and thermal modulation systems to prevent burn-in. Glare-Free technology significantly reduces glare from external light sources so that users can view game environments without distractions.
Samsung's Odyssey G50D gaming monitor produces lifelike picture quality with its QHD resolution, which can pack 1.7 times the pixel density of a Full HD screen. AMD Radeon FreeSync™ technology powers seamless, superfluid gameplay by keeping the monitor and graphics card refresh rate in sync to reduce image tearing. Samsung also designed the G50D with flexibility and comfort in mind through features like an ergonomic stand that can swivel, tilt, and be adjusted to the player's preference and Eye Saver Mode that minimizes blue light to reduce eye strain.
"With the nationwide rollout of the Samsung Odyssey Monitor Showcase, more gamers will have the opportunity to see firsthand our gaming monitors' advanced features and performance," said David Phelps, Head of the Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. "Best Buy's commitment to providing knowledgeable, personalized service will ensure that customers can fully discover and appreciate the unparalleled gaming experience that only Samsung can deliver."
