Prices for Samsung’s Odyssey G5 have usually hovered around $280, but Amazon has surprised gamers with a fresh discount, dropping the price below $250 for a limited time. If you want an ultra-wide monitor for GTA 6, this might be the perfect upgrade. 

As of Nov. 2, the Samsung 34-inch Odyssey G5 (G55T) is going for $249.99 at Amazon, a hefty $150 price cut from the usual $399.99. With 38% off, that’s the lowest price we’ve seen since April (confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel). There's no third-party seller involved, as Amazon is fulfilling orders itself — with complimentary delivery currently scheduled for Nov. 7, or Nov. 6 with faster shipping. 

What makes the G5 a must-buy is its unusually broad 21:9 screen, packing 3440 x 1440 Ultra-WQHD resolution plus HDR10 into a 34-inch VA panel.

If you’re waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6’s PC port to get announced before you set out to explore Leonida, this monitor is an amazing choice for sweeping across the landscapes of other huge open-world games like Red Dead Redemption 2.

The display has a pronounced 1,000R bend that curves towards you at either end, making the extra horizontal space feel less spread out and more immersive altogether. On the performance side, you're looking at a 165Hz refresh rate paired with a 1ms MPRT response time, giving fast-paced multiplayer games like Fortnite or Apex Legends plenty of headroom for fluid movement.

If you’re ever worried about fluctuating framerates and screen tearing, AMD FreeSync Premium (one of our favorite features to see in gaming monitors) will have you covered courtesy of its handy adaptive sync technology.
