it has been $249.99 on bestbuy before. If you don't need the monitor right now, you may want to wait since $279.99 not the lowest price it has been. You can even search "Samsung - Odyssey 27" IPS" on slickdeals here and you will see a bunch of topic with this exact monitor for lower.

+1 Still thank you for the headup on deal though OP.

Thanks for the information. I need a decent Qhd high frequency IPS monitor now. That price is so tempting compare to other similar monitors now.

My 32" G5 developed horizontal black lines after 2 years. Second Samsung monitor in a row to have screen issues. I would not recommend it.

FYI this has HDMI 2.0. So if you're looking to play ps5 on it, you won't be able to 120hz from the console. You'll need HDMI 2.1.

I feel like that is just Samsung in general now. My parents have gone through two Samsung TVs in about five years that have died. I had one that the screen was fine on but everything just stopped functioning on, so it was trash. When you look at reviews for the Samsung monitors they are absolutely full of people with dead pixels and black lines. Their appliances are notoriously garbage. They make really good specs on their monitors but I have learned to steer completely clear of anything with the Samsung name on it.

I know someone will respond to this quickly and say they've had nothing but good experience but, you cannot deny the massive numbers of people with problems with Samsung products. I know my own family's experiences are plenty for me to make a stance.

1440p at 120hz on HDMI 2.0 seems to be fine according to this reddit thread. 2.1 is for higher 4K refresh.
