Samsung’s 240Hz Odyssey OLED G6 is $409.99, $190 below Amazon’s list price

Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey OLED G6 G61SH puts a 240Hz QD-OLED screen within reach for $409.99 at Amazon. That is $190 below the retailer’s displayed $599.99 list price, and it is an interesting option if you want a fast 1440p display without moving to an ultrawide.

The new monitor is sold by Beach Camera Same Day Shipping and shipped by Amazon. When I checked, it was in stock, and the displayed price did not require a coupon or Prime membership. This is the 240Hz G61SH model, so check the model number if you are comparing it with other Odyssey OLED G6 screens.

There is one detail behind the saving: Amazon calls $599.99 a list price, which does not tell us what the monitor cost immediately before this offer. I also found other 27-inch 240Hz OLED options around $400, so it is worth comparing connections and warranty terms before choosing.

What the 240Hz OLED screen offers for PC gaming

The G61SH has a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a conventional 16:9 shape. That makes it a different proposition from a wider 34-inch display: it takes up less horizontal desk space while keeping a sharp QHD picture for games and everyday use.

Samsung rates the refresh rate at up to 240Hz and the grey-to-grey response time at 0.03ms. A high refresh rate can make motion look smoother in games, but you will need compatible hardware and sufficient frame rates to make the most of it. The QD-OLED panel can also show deep blacks, and Samsung describes the screen as glare-free.

The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is G-SYNC Compatible, according to Samsung’s US specifications. Variable refresh support can help reduce tearing when used with compatible hardware.

Check the ports and OLED warranty before ordering

There is one HDMI 2.1 input and one DisplayPort 1.4 input. If you want to connect several consoles and a PC at the same time, I recommend planning for those limited inputs before you buy. Samsung also lists no built-in speakers, so you will need a separate audio solution.

OLED burn-in is another consideration, especially if static elements stay on screen for long periods. Samsung lists a three-year warranty and says burn-in under normal usage is covered; its listed exclusions include commercial use, abuse and misuse. Read the applicable warranty terms before ordering.

If the size, ports and price work for your setup, check the exact G61SH configuration, current seller and offer on Amazon’s listing before placing an order.
