If you’re still stuck on a 1080p monitor and want to improve your gaming and workflows, moving to a 1440p display may be one of the best upgrades you can make. And right now, the Samsung Odyssey G55C is on sale for just $190 ahead of October’s Prime Day; That’s a big drop from the original $330 and matches the lowest price it’s ever been.
This 32-inch monitor offers a resolution of 2560×1440 and a fast 165Hz refresh rate, which will make your games look sharp and fluid. Its 1ms response time could be faster, but it will be enough for all but the fastest, sweatiest esports games. And it has a moderate 1000R curve that adds real immersion while enveloping your field of view, plus it helps reduce eye strain when working or watching movies.
It’s a pretty standard monitor in terms of features, but sometimes that’s all you need in a monitor. Why pay more for extra jewelry when you don’t need it? This is a good workhorse monitor for gamers and workers, hitting a sweet spot with its 32-inch, 1440p specs while still being affordable.
At $190, the Samsung Odyssey G55C is an easy upgrade for a home workstation on a budget. If it’s not right for you, check out PCWorld’s picks for the best gaming monitors. And if you want more deals ahead of October’s Prime Day, check out our roundup of the first deals to grab.
