November is a great month to look at upgrading your gaming setup, and right now, Walmart has an incredible Black Friday deal on the Samsung Odyssey G5 34-Inch Ultrawide Gaming Monitor. Normally $549, you can get this great display for only $229 until November 17–or until it sells out, which is likely to happen before the sale ends.
This Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor deal is one of numerous notable tech discounts in Walmart’s early Black Friday sale. The sale kicked off today, November 11, and runs through November 17. If you’re looking at this prior to 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET on November 11, you need to be a Walmart+ subscriber–annual memberships are 50% off–to take advantage of the deals. Everyone can start shopping Walmart’s early Black Friday sale after that time.
Samsung Odyssey G5 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor

Specs:
- 34-inch curved WQHD display with HDR10
- 3440 x 1440 resolution
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- 165Hz refresh rate
- 1ms response time
- AMD FreeSync
This particular Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor offers 3440 x 1440 resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, VRR, and a 1ms response time. It’s also curved to create a more immersive field of view that also helps reduce strain on your eyes throughout long gaming and work sessions. It’s also equipped with AMD FreeSync to prevent any nasty screen-tearing in your games. Color accuracy is also great thanks to HDR10, so you’re going to get vibrant colors and deep blacks.
A 34-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor for $229 is quite the bargain, but if you don’t want an ultrawide, Walmart has an Odyssey G5 27-inch model for $179 (was $249).
It’s worth emphasizing that Walmart+ is only $49 for a 12-month membership right now, which is 50% off its usual price. You get free two-day shipping, same-day delivery on items from your local Walmart, a Paramount+ membership, and early access to deals–this last point should come in handy later this month.
If you’re looking for an even larger monitor, Amazon has two noteworthy Samsung 49-inch OLED monitors. Amazon is offering the enormous Samsung Odyssey G9 for $1,000 (was $1,600), a gigantic 49-inch curved display. This one also has an OLED screen that delivers brilliant colors and intense contrast, and it also has a 240Hz refresh rate on top of a maximum screen resolution of 5120 x 1440p.
The other good 49-inch monitor worth checking out is the newer Samsung Odyssey G9, which has similar specs and the Neo Quantum Processor. Using this piece of hardware, the monitor instantly analyzes and optimizes all frames to create the best possible picture at any given time. Normally $1,800, it’s on sale for $1,200.
On the budget side of 49-inch monitors, Innocn’s 144Hz 1080p monitor is on sale for $600 at Amazon when you click the coupon box. Innocn isn’t a well-known brand, but the manufacturer makes solid gaming monitors with very reasonable prices.
