Summer sales 2024: the best PC screens on sale
From Samsung to Asus, via AOC, here are the best offers that we have found in the four corners of the internet:
Samsung Odyssey OLED G9: a gaming behemoth
For the sales, the G9 loses more than €200. The Samsung Odyssey range is an absolute reference for gamers. This model is surely the strangest of all, especially because of its Dual QHD resolution (5120×1440) which is very rare. The screen combines two screens in one, in short.
The 49-inch ultra-wide format behemoth is intended to be very immersive thanks to its curved screen (1000R) which takes up almost your entire field of vision. We find an OLED panel with vibrant colors to further reinforce this aspect. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking for a screen that immerses them in their video games.
With a refresh rate of 240 Hz and a response time of 0.03 ms, the G9 does not sacrifice performance and fluidity. Its HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connectivity offers FreeSync Premium Pro, ideal if you have a fairly recent AMD graphics card to take full advantage of it. That’s good, the RX 7800 XT is on sale right now. Note that it is also compatible with G-sync, for Nvidia cards.
This is typically the type of screen you need if you are a fan of car simulation or other games that require a bubble. It can also be useful for replacing a two-screen setup with one; However, be aware that splitting the screen decreases its refresh rate to 60 Hz.
AOC Q27G2E/BK: the WQHD accessible
For those looking for high resolution without breaking the bank, this reference from AOC is a perfect option. Even more on sale, at €169.99 instead of €194.98.
This 27-inch screen offers WQHD (2560×1440) resolution which makes each image even sharper than on a Full HD screen. Its 155Hz refresh rate is perfect for FPS and games that require responsiveness. All while guaranteeing 1 ms of latency, the standard for seasoned gamers who do not want to feel a dead time between the action and what is displayed on the screen.
Design-wise, the monitor is elegant with thin bezels. Its ergonomics allow for some adjustments in height, tilt and pivot. It offers excellent value for money for playing games in good quality. However, keep in mind that to make the most of its resolution with lots of frames per second, you will need a good machine. Opt for a VRAM of at least 4 to 6 GB.
ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QM1A: the most efficient
E-sports fans should appreciate this Asus reference which goes from €279.99 to €219.99. And for good reason, it offers everything try-harders need to excel in a game.
The 23.8-inch screen stands out for its performance. With a Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), it pushes up to a 270Hz refresh rate, enough to obtain perfect fluidity for competitive games. It has a response time of 1 ms, perfect for gamers who need responsiveness.
Best of all, Asus’ ELMB Sync technology eliminates motion blur, delivering pristine visual clarity in the most dynamic games. This is especially ideal for FPS games, where motion blur-induced trails can affect your accuracy.
MSI G321CU: 4K for less than €400
To finish in style, let’s talk about 4K. Although today, this resolution is not the standard in gaming, the fact remains that this type of screen is what is best. For those looking for 4K at an affordable price, the MSI G321CU is a great option during this sale period. With a 15% discount, it drops below €400.
This 31.5″ inch curved screen offers Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) for remarkable clarity. With a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a response time of 1 ms, it is perfectly fluid. Finally, you still need to have the machine that can run this type of resolution with so many frames per second. Since yes, you will need at least 8 GB of VRAM on your graphics card to start really enjoying the screen. But for optimal comfort, it is better to go for 16 GB, that is to say the best graphics cards on the market. In other words, for PC configurations below € 2000, the 4K screen at 144 Hz is a bit useless.
