This deal for the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 is a massive price drop for one of the most powerful gaming monitors on the market. Since you found an Open-Box unit in Good condition at your local Eagan store, this post focuses on the significant savings over the $2,499.99 MSRP.
Best Buy has the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 (LS57CG952NNXZA) available in Open-Box condition starting as low as $858.99 (Condition: Good).
This is a YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) deal as inventory depends on your local store's stock. For reference, I spotted this price at the Eagan, MN location.

Community Reviews
The Samsung 57 inch Odyssey Neo G9 stands out as a massive productivity and gaming display with huge screen real estate and sharp image quality. It handles demanding setups well, including a 3090 Ti desktop, an M4 MacBook over HDMI, and even a 9060 XT at 1440p and 120Hz for games. The open box units have arrived in great or excellent condition, though some were missing the power cable or back cable cover. The main practical hurdle is transport, since the box is enormous and may require an SUV or truck. It also has no speakers and can show occasional white line or glitchy box artifacts that usually clear with a power cycle or input change.
Common Questions (5)
For basic desktop and productivity use, it can run fine on a 3090 Ti and even an M4 MacBook over HDMI at full resolution. For gaming at the panel's full 8K/240Hz target, a much stronger GPU is needed; a 9060 XT can still handle 1440p/120Hz in Crimson Desert with reduced effects.
It is extremely bulky and the box is close to refrigerator-sized, so a sedan trunk or folded rear seats may not be enough. An SUV or truck is the safer choice, and some buyers had to remove it from the box in the parking lot just to make it fit.
Missing accessories and trim pieces can happen, including the power cable and the back cable cover. The monitor itself can still work normally, but you may need to source the missing cable or live without the rear cover.
It can randomly show white lines and glitchy boxes over the image, and the problem may not appear in screenshots because it sits on top of the video signal. Power cycling or switching inputs can clear it, but it may recur intermittently.
No, it does not have speakers. External speakers or headphones are required for audio.

Just FYI, it does not have any speakers. I didn't realize that until after I bought it.
