The launch of Alienware's $899.99 4K OLED gaming monitor has shifted opinions on pricing for 1440p OLED displays, suggesting a price around $500 is now appropriate. Samsung's Odyssey G6, currently discounted to $549.99, exemplifies this trend and is praised for its 240 Hz refresh rate, FreeSync, and G-Sync compatibility. Despite Alienware's pricing being uncertain due to tariffs affecting imports from China, the current discount on the Odyssey G6 offers immediate value for gamers seeking high performance without waiting for new releases.
Since the recent launch of Alienware's $899.99 AW2725Q 4K OLED gaming monitor, I've changed my tune on how much I think people should shell out for a similarly-sized, yet lower resolution 1440p OLED display.
1440p (or QHD, as it's referred to interchangeably) is the best resolution to target for most gamers, in part because you don't need pricey, state-of-the-art PC components to run most games well.
Samsung's Odyssey G6 is a solid 1440p OLED, and it's currently marked down to $549.99 (originally $799.99)... With support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, the display won't exhibit annoying screen tearing.
The good news is that, since this Samsung monitor is discounted now, you don't have to wait until the summer to see how all of that shakes out.
