Amazon is currently offering the Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G55C gaming monitor for $179.99, a significant discount from its list price of $299.99. The deal, which combines an automatic discount with a clickable $50 coupon, represents one of the lowest prices seen for the model, though it has previously sold for $170.
The Odyssey G55C features a 2,560 x 1,440 (QHD) resolution and a 1000R curved VA panel. This combination aims to provide a balance between visual clarity and the demands placed on graphics processing units. The monitor boasts a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms MPRT response time, designed to minimize motion blur during fast-paced gaming sessions.
Image quality benefits from the VA panel’s 2500:1 contrast ratio, delivering deeper blacks compared to many IPS panels in the same price bracket. Peak brightness reaches 300 nits, suitable for typical indoor gaming environments. While the monitor supports HDR10, the lack of local dimming means the high dynamic range experience will be limited.
Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0 and a 3.5mm audio jack. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync, a technology intended to reduce screen tearing and stuttering for smoother gameplay.
Alongside the G55C deal, Amazon is also offering discounts on other Samsung Odyssey monitors. The larger 32-inch Odyssey curved monitor is available for $699.99, while the Odyssey G55C is also available at its lowest-ever price, according to PC Guide.
The duration of the current $179.99 price for the 27-inch Odyssey G55C is unspecified, and customers must apply the $50 coupon during checkout to receive the full discount.
