This $700 discount makes the Samsung OLED G9 much easier to justify

A 49-inch OLED ultrawide is the kind of monitor you buy once and build your whole setup around. The Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 (G93SD) is down to $999.99, saving you $700 off the $1,699.99 compared value.

A 49-inch OLED ultrawide is the kind of monitor you buy once and build your whole setup around. The Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 (G93SD) is down to $999.99, saving you $700 off the $1,699.99 compared value. If you’ve wanted the “super ultrawide” experience but couldn’t justify the usual price, this discount is big enough to make it feel realistic, especially for anyone gaming at high refresh rates or using a single screen for work+play.

This is a 49-inch curved OLED monitor with Dual-QHD resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and a claimed 0.03ms response time. In real terms, you’re getting three major benefits at once:

It’s also G-Sync compatible, which helps smooth out gameplay by reducing tearing and stutter when paired with an NVIDIA GPU.

The value here is the scale of the discount relative to the kind of monitor this is. OLED ultrawides at 240Hz are typically premium-priced, so saving $700 moves it from “dream setup” to “this could actually be the upgrade.”

This is also one of those purchases that improves everything you do on your PC. For gaming, it’s more immersive and more responsive. For productivity, you can run two or three windows side by side without feeling cramped—like a dual-monitor setup without the bezel in the middle.

Two practical notes so expectations stay grounded:

At $999.99, this Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a really good value if you want a high-end, 49-inch OLED ultrawide with 240Hz speed for immersive gaming and a huge productivity workspace. If you’re on a smaller desk, use a midrange GPU, or don’t care about ultrawide gaming, you can spend less and still be happy. But if you’ve been waiting for a major price drop on a flagship-class OLED ultrawide, this is the kind of deal that doesn’t show up often.

Smart displays have promised to run my entire house for years. However, I mostly end up using them as fancy kitchen timers or home security monitors. Amazon’s newest one wants to change my mind, and it comes with a serious price tag.

The company just unveiled the Echo Show 16. It is a 16-inch smart display that isn’t just a kitchen timer but a small TV, thanks to built-in Fire TV. The baseline version costs $499.99, and the anti-glare version costs $569.99. Pre-orders get $100 off; the device ships late this year.

After five years with Apple silicon, from the original M1 MacBook Air to the M5 MacBook Air released earlier this year, I've watched these chips mature not just on the spec sheet, but in real-world workflows and overall efficiency.

The new M6 chip might sound like a routine generational upgrade, but it's the company's first chip built on a 2nm manufacturing process, which brings meaningful improvements over previous Apple chips.

Gemini Notebook’s mobile app now has a built-in recorder for capturing lectures and meetings as sources. You can record directly where you’ll use the material, skipping the separate recording app and the file upload afterward.

Google announced the feature on X, highlighting classroom lectures and team meetings as potential uses. It also works for capturing your own thoughts, so you can talk through an idea and bring that explanation into your notebook while it’s still fresh.
