Amazon's next Prime Day sales event begins on Oct. 7. It continues until Oct. 8, and although there's plenty of time before the big day next week, we've already started to see the retailer roll out significant discounts in the lead-up to Prime Day. One of the best deals right now is on a Samsung monitor. Right now, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G93SC Curved Gaming Monitor is on sale for $880, a massive 45% discount. That is the lowest year-to-date price ever for the display.

Samsung's Odyssey G93SC is no ordinary display. Spanning a massive 49 inches, this QD-OLED monitor produces breathtaking visuals with vibrant colors and deep blacks. Its steep 1800R curve wraps around your field of review, pulling you directly into the action. Resolution sits at 5,129 x 1,440 pixels (Dual Quad HD), equivalent to having two QHD monitors side by side.

Not only is that extra width handy for gaming, but it's also useful for multitasking and productivity. Picture-by-Picture helps with this since you can place two visual outputs side-by-side. There's also Picture-in-Picture mode. This puts a small sub-screen in the corner of the larger view.
What's really neat about Samsung's display is that it comes with multiple safeguards. First, the Thermal Modulation System utilizes "algorithms" to predict the display's surface temperature and automatically lower the brightness to keep things cool. Then you have the Logo and taskbar Detection feature. It allows the screen to reduce the brightness on static images to prevent burn-in. Finally, Screen Saver sees the Odyssey S39SC automatically dim after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Other notable features for the Odyssey G93SC include a 240Hz refresh rate for smooth on-screen animations and support for both G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro, ensuring fluid gameplay without screen tearing or stuttering.
