Samsung's Odyssey QD-OLED displays are some of the best gaming monitors on the market right now, and for a limited time Amazon's got a sweet deal on a 27-inch model that's great for 1440p gaming.

Right now you can get the 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G6 QD-OLED monitor for $549 at Amazon, which is $250 off the usual $799 asking price. It's the lowest price we've seen for this monitor since the holidays, so now's a great time to snap one up if you're in the market for a 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor. (For more deals, check out the Amazon weekend sale that just went live).

At $250 off this QD-OLED gaming monitor is a lot more affordable than usual, and it's a good investment for a 1080p or 1440p gaming rig because for under $600 you get an elegant-looking 27-inch QHD (‎2,560 x 1,440 pixels) OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate.

Since it's a QD-OLED panel with HDR10+ support you can also count on good image quality with striking contrasts and vivid color saturation. Serious game fans will appreciate the monitor's support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, AMD's VRR tech that helps keep supported games running at top speed tear-free.

While the monitor isn't small at roughly 24 inches wide and just over 15 pounds heavy, it's on the smaller end of Samsung's high-end Odyssey gaming monitors so it's a great choice for a desk, bedroom or dorm room. And while we haven't had a chance to review this specific model, we've reviewed several bigger, more expensive Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors over the years (including the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 and Samsung Odyssey OLED G9) and we've always been impressed by their attractive designs and high-quality panels.

In terms of ports you can plug in via DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.2, and the monitor itself also has a built-in USB hub with two USB-C ports and one USB-B upstream jack. That helps make it great for productivity work as well as playing games or watching movies, making this $250 discount one of the best PC gaming deals I've seen this month!
