Are you worried about decorating your new OLED monitor with kid gloves?

How I evaluated this deal
While the Odyssey G9 OLED typically sees the biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season, saving $600 on a high-end gaming monitor and getting a second screen for free is an attractive offer. The bundle is also available with the 34-inch Odyssey G8 and 27-inch Odyssey G9 3D if you don’t need something as substantial as the 49-inch model we offered or if the G9 OLED is sold out. That’s why I’ve given this deal a 4/5 editor rating.
