The Samsung 49-Inch Odyssey OLED G9 Monitor is one of the most premium options on the market, offering not just tons of real estate, but also an impressive refresh rate, response time, and overall design. It’s also one of the most expensive–clocking in at $1,300, it’s a huge investment. However, ahead of the holidays, Samsung is slashing its price to $900 and bundling in a free 2TB 990 Pro SSD. That makes this one of the best times to upgrade your setup, though it’s unclear how much longer the deal will stick around.
While the above Samsung Odyssey G9 is arguably the best deal on the manufacturer’s 49-inch panels, it’s not the only one to consider.
The newer Samsung 49-Inch Odyssey OLED G9 Curved Monitor is discounted to $950 (was $1,600) at Amazon and offers a faster 240Hz refresh rate. Give it a look if you don’t mind spending an extra $50 and won’t miss out on the free SSD.

There’s an in-depth video where Whoovie talks about playing Warzone with a piano, how they convert their piano inputs into keyboard inputs on PC, and how they trained for a month to improve their aim with piano keys.
For the Mauer der Toten Easter egg, Whoovie released a 6-minute YouTube video, where they provi…

On June 14, 1073 AD, my steward, vassal and knight, Earl Muiredach mac Carthach of Desmond arrived at the meeting of my small council dressed only in, well… his birthday suit. This was the man I’d entrusted to manage the paperwork of my realm, to ensure taxes were being collected. Was this newfound fashion choice a portent of his impending madness? Was it some bold power move designed to put me off my game? A sign of the contempt in which he held his ruler? Or was it a bug, a highly specific graphical glitch that just happened to leave one of my councillors undressed? I didn’t know.
Perhaps it’s a credit to Crusader Kings 3 that I didn’t have an immediate answer, a sign of the depth and complexity of its simulation and its capacity for surprise. Perhaps it was also a failing, a breakdown somewhere between the calculations of a mass of colliding gameplay systems and how their results were communicated to me. Perhaps…
