"This week is Prime Big Deals Day. Despite the name, it's actually two days. On both October 7 and October 8, you can save huge swaths of cash on a bunch of cool tech or home goods, and that included PC gaming accessories. If you've been on the hunt for a new gaming monitor, now might be the time to pull the Hall Effect trigger you have mapped to "Add to Cart.""
"The Samsung Odyssey G5 curved gaming monitor comes in either a moderate 27-inch or large 32-inch screen, each with a curvature of 1000R to help fill your peripheral vision with the visuals from your game. Enjoy a better-than-HD resolution of 1440p which packs in 1.7 times the pixel density of 1080p HD displays. HDR10 allows for vibrant colors with deep blacks and luminous whites, portray a wide depth of color and brightness."
"The screen has a refresh rate of 165Hz to help maintain smooth gameplay with fast frame rates and the 1ms response time will keep your character feeling snappy. Seriously. I'd been playing Hollow Knight: Silksong through Game Pass and my Xbox on a TV from 2017 then switched over recently to my PC and a similarly-specced monitor and wow what a difference. Input lag I had thought was just normally going completely away. I felt like I was cheating."
Prime Big Deals Day runs October 7 and October 8 with discounts across tech and home goods. Samsung's Odyssey G5 curved gaming monitor is reduced by $100: the 27-inch drops from $300 to $200 and the 32-inch from $330 to $230. The monitor features a 1000R curvature to better fill peripheral vision, 1440p resolution with roughly 1.7 times the pixel density of 1080p, HDR10 color support, a 165Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time. Curved displays deliver greater immersion for first-person games and reduced input lag improves perceived responsiveness.
