Samsung's 49-inch monitor deal comes with a second monitor

If you're looking for a really large gaming monitor with plenty of screen real estate, the Samsung Odyssey G9 G95C could be a great choice. The monitor as a DQHD resolution of 5120 x 1440, which is the same as putting two QHD monitors next to each other. It even has a picture-by-picture mode which would allow you to put output from two computers next to each other.

The screen runs at up to 240 Hz, which is more than enough for all but the most demanding, professional eSports players.

Right now, Samsung has the Odyssey G9 G95C for just $799. And it comes with a second monitor, a 27-inch G55C QHD, which itself is a 165 Hz monitor with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. It has a 1000R curve just like the G95C so you could it next to the larger monitor and treat the two monitors like one giant 7680 x 1440 desktop.

Grab an Alienware RTX 5090 PC for less than $5000

If you want the ultimate gaming experience, nothing beats RTX 5090 graphics. The top card in Nvidia's stack, the 5090 can do smooth ray tracing at 4K or really high frame rates at lower resolutions and without ray tracing on.

Unfortunately, RTX 5090 cards are hard to come by as scalpers snap them up almost immediately and they are not available at anywhere near the $1,999 MSRP. Right now, it's about $3,400 at least to buy a new RTX 5090 card on eBay.

So good news. You can get a decked-out Alienware Area-51 desktop with RTX 5090 inside for just $4,899 right now as part of Dell's Memorial Day tech deals. This config has a 2TB SSD, 32GB of RAM and a Core Ultra 9 285K CPU.

Dell has this fully-loaded Alienware Area-51 for $600 off its list price. This config has a Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, 2TB SSD, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1500W PSU in addition to the 5090 graphics.

We recently reviewed a similarly-configured Alienware Area-51, which came complete with the same Core Ultra 9 285K CPU and RTX 5090 graphics. As you can see in the graphic below, it delivered really strong frame rates in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray trancing enabled, both at 1080p and 4K. All of its competitors were using RTX 4090 cards.

On Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which does not have ray tracing, the Area-51 delivered even stronger frame rates.

This isn't a cheap PC, but it's a great deal for what you get.

Our favorite gaming monitor is now $259

Dell's 32--inch, S3222DGM has long been at the top of our list of the best gaming monitors overall, thanks to its epic 3700:1 contrast ratio, 165 Hz refresh rate and sharp, 2560 x 1440 resolution. Sure, there are fancier monitors than this curved display, but none that fall within its very affordable price range.

Now, the S3222DGM is on sale for just $259 at Best Buy as part of the store's Memorial Day tech deals. That's a nice discount off of its $329 typical price and easy for almost anyone to afford.

When we reviewed the Dell S3222DGM in 2022, we were really impressed with its combination of vibrant images and tear-free gaming. "There is nothing better than a high-contrast VA panel, and the Dell S3222DGM is one of the best I’ve seen," Contributing Editor Christian Eberle wrote. "It strikes a rare balance between gaming performance and image quality."

In our tests, the monitor showed a contrast ratio of 3,718:1, which even beats other VA monitors we tested and it absolutely destroys IPS monitors, which usually can't even hit 1000:1.

According to our colorimeter, the Dell S3222DGM can reproduce a strong 122.6 percent of the sRGB gamut and 85.9 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut. The color quality also stands out because of the high contrast ratio. Those bright colors will look extra bright when the dark pixels next to them look really dark.

The monitor also has excellent build quality and comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports, a single DisplayPort 1.2 port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

If you like Mac laptops, but not breaking the bank to get one to get one, now is a great time to act. In honor of Memorial Day, Amazon is selling the 2025 MacBook Air with M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM and your choice of SSD depending on the price.

A config with a 256GB SSD, which is pretty sparse but you can make it work if you need to, is just $899. The same config, but with a 512GB SSD goes for $1,099.

When we reviewed the MacBook Air back in March, we had our hands on the 15-inch version of the model, which had the same M4 chip with 16GB of RAM. Overall, we found it nearly matching the speeds of the MacBook Pro and exceeding Intel-powered laptops like the Lenovo Y oga Slim 7i and Dell XPS 13.

You can expect similar performance from the 13-inch MacBook Air that's on sale, but in a smaller form factor. The 15-inch Air weighs just 3.3 pounds but the 13-inch model tips the scales at just 2.7 pounds.
