Samsung's G85SB 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is on sale for 33% off from Samsung and Amazon, bringing the price of the gaming behemoth down to just $799.99. Amazon also sweetens the deal with a $50 gift card for the same price.

Samsung is currently running its Gaming Week sale event, discounting many of its top-notch gaming monitors from the Odyssey series. One such monitor, the Samsung Odyssey G85SB OLED (model LS34BG850SNXZA), is heavily discounted for the duration of the limited time deal, with the final Amazon deal price coming down to $799.99 after a 33% discount — this is the same price as on the official Samsung store, but Amazon will include a $50 Amazon gift card for the same price. 

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SB is a 34-inch, 21:9 gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel. All of this means that the Odyssey OLED G8 benefits from both the inky blacks and near-instant response times of OLED displays. Meanwhile, the VESA DisplayHDR 400 TrueBlack certification guarantees a reasonable maximum display brightness of 400 nits. 

As for gaming, the Odyssey OLED G8's 175 Hz refresh rate is great for fast-paced gaming, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is there to smooth out more cinematic and demanding games. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 has a resolution of 3,400 × 1,440, so it offers decent image quality while still being easy to drive for most gaming PCs and laptops. Its 1800R curve can also make it more comfortable to use, and the stand offers tilt and height adjustment to accommodate different ergonomic tastes. 

The Odyssey OLED G8 is also plenty colour accurate for those that want to do colour-sensitive work, like photo or video editing, with an RTings review of the display finding DCI-P3 coverage of 99.6%. In the testing, however, brightness was a little disappointing, only crossing the 400-nit threshold in a 10% sustained window and with HDR enabled. 

Check out the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 WQHD gaming monitor on Amazon (curr. $799.99).
