Memorial Day Deal: Save $300 on Samsung's 49-Inch Gaming Monitor and Score a 27-Inch Monitor Free

CNET7 days ago

Samsung makes some of the best tech out there, and their monitors and TVs are some of the best you can get. This Memorial Day, you can get one of the best gaming monitors from the brand, the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey QD-OLED G9 at just $900 -- a solid $300 discount. On top of that, Samsung is throwing in a 27-inch Odyssey G55C gaming monitor for free. This not just two for the price of one -- it's two for less than the price of one.
This is an excellent Memorial Day deal given the fact that both these monitors are pretty advanced, and you're getting quite the screen real estate for just $900. Act fast, though, because both these monitors are rather popular and this deal is valid until June 1 or while supplies last.
The star here is the Samsung Odyssey G9, a QD-OLED monitor with a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. You get a 32:9 aspect ratio since this is an ultrawide monitor. Think of it as two QHD monitors stacked side by side. It isn't the most advanced ultrawide Samsung has, but if you want a good high-end monitor without emptying your bank account, this one hits the sweet spot.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
In addition to this much screen real estate, you get a free Odyssey G5, a whole other 27-inch QHD gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate. This monitor itself costs $300, and is down to $220 on its own right now. So this deal will save you at least $520 overall.
The Odyssey G9 comes with all the bells and whistles you can think of -- DisplayHDR True Black 400, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, HDMI 2.1 and pretty much any feature you'll want in a high-end gaming monitor.
The free Odyssey G5 monitor also gets a bunch of features like AMD FreeSync, HDR10 and a 1000R curvature for a more immersive feeling. Even if you don't want this one for yourself, it can be an excellent screen for a second computer in the house. Samsung is also running more promotions on its 49-inch Odyssey G9 ultrawide range, and has a bunch of discounts in our list of the best TV deals this Memorial day.
Why this deal matters
Samsung's gaming monitors are some of the best on the market, and they're usually a good value even when not discounted. This deal brings a solid discount plus adds a whole another gaming monitor to the mix. Getting over $500 worth of discount on a good gaming monitor isn't all that common. Plus with inflation and tarriff pricing changes expected, now is a good time to make an investment in a good gaming monitor.

Rays Held Yard Sale Before ‘Turning Over Keys' To Tropicana Field For Roof Repairs

A sampling of the seemingly endless inventory of caps available at the Tampa Bay Rays' yard sale on ... More May 31, 2025. The sale was held in the parking lot of Tropicana Field. Bill Walsh likened the preparation for the Tampa Bay Rays' charity yard sale held Saturday to an average household's spring cleaning. The many items collected range from mugs to shirts and everything in between. In the process, there might a surprise or two in the form of something that had been long forgotten about, but evoked a memory or two. 'Everyone that does spring cleaning in their house, I think they find things they didn't know they had,' said Walsh, the Rays' chief business officer. 'It is pretty much the same here on a different scale.' A different scale? How about 28 seasons worth of promotional items and other inventory. Then there were a few items scheduled to be given away to fans that were, well, not given away. An example would be a Willy Adames bobblehead that was scheduled to be handed out to attending fans at Tropicana Field on May 30, 2020. Nobody was going to baseball games, or doing much of anything else, on that date due to the pandemic. When the season finally began in late July, fans were not permitted to attend. The Adames bobble, and other items, were added to the following season's promotional schedule. Hence, the Rays announced June 9, 2021 would be the date the Adames collectible would finally be handed out. However, the shortstop was dealt to the Brewers on May 21. What to do with all of the bobbleheads? The answer arrived nearly four years later when they were available to those attending the Rays' yard sale in the Trop parking lot. Similarly, and more recently, the Rays were to give away a set of three shoe charms to kids 14 and under last August 11. The players featured were Yandy Diaz, Zach Eflin and Josh Lowe. Eflin was dealt to the Orioles on July 26. Guess which team the Rays played the day the item would have been given away? In fact, Eflin blanked Tampa Bay over seven innings in picking up the win two days earlier with his new team. Kids finally got the charms at the yard sale. 'We have had a chance to put eyes on everything in all parts of the building over the last six months or so in a way that we just haven't in the last 25-plus years,' said Walsh, of scavenging Tropicana Field post-Hurricane Milton and gathering more than 75,000 items for the public to pick through. 'Almost any promotional giveaway we had, there were some left over that we found.' Shoe charms that were to be given away to Rays fans at a game in 2024, but were pulled from the ... More promotional calendar when Zach Eflin was traded before the giveaway date. Such items included bobbleheads, sweatshirts, t-shirts, tumblers, blankets and those related to group nights such as in-state universities (USF Day or UCF Day) and other themed celebrations. The many fans who weathered the rain in St. Petersburg on Saturday morning while waiting to enter two tents that had table after table full of items paid $20 for a bag they could overstuff. When the bag was full, fans could pay another $20 for each additional bag. The opportunity made for yard sale-type bargains considering what someone could walk away with. The city of St. Petersburg announced in early April that it approved $23 million for '…the cost of fabrication, delivery, and installation of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) roof membrane.' In other words, the Trop will receive a new top. Walsh noted the hope was that prep work would commence in mid-June with exterior repairs visible perhaps eight weeks thereafter. With that in mind, it was time to perform the massive spring cleaning and get out of the way. 'The genesis of this is really the city taking on the repair of the roof,' said Walsh. 'What we are going to do is turn over the keys of the building to the city for that period of time. We need to get everything that is ours out of the way so they can work. There will be hundreds of workers setting up to install (roof) panels, which be in August.' The Tropicana Field parking lot was the sight of a Tampa Bay Rays yard sale May 31, 2025. More than ... More 75,000 items were piled up on tables within two tents. Hence, it was time to get busy with literally taking inventory on what was hiding in storage spaces and other areas of the building and making the items available to fans. Several Rays employees made the day possible with the Rays Baseball Foundation, the ballclub's charitable arm, benefitting from the sale. 'It all came together in three weeks,' said Walsh, somewhat joking the Rays have had to become accustomed to doing most everything in tight windows this year, including the massive chore of getting Steinbrenner Field ready for the regular season in a matter of a few days. 'A lot of folks really rallied and worked very hard to pull this off and get it set up. Our community engagement department and our foundation folks took the lead on it with setting up the logistics.'

4 Worst Pieces Of Career Advice Given To College Graduates

Graduates celebrate the future, but outdated advice could stall their career journey before it ... More begins. May and June are marked by college graduation speeches and a sea of caps soaring skyward. Each one is tossed by a hopeful graduate ready to chase a successful future. The ink on your diploma is barely dry before unsolicited advice rolls in from all directions. While some of it is helpful, a surprising amount is outdated. The worst thing you can do is follow the advice mindlessly. As of March, nearly 6% of recent graduates ages 22 to 27 who hold a bachelor's degree or higher were unemployed, reported by the Federal Reserve of New York. It's been reported that 25% of young adults are struggling to find jobs in their intended career fields, while 62% aren't employed in the career they intended to pursue after graduation. The job market is volatile. Following bad advice can lead new graduates down the wrong path, wasting opportunities they can't afford to lose. This advice screams fear. There is no long-term strategy behind this mindset. Yes, job hunting is hard. However, rushing to accept any offer is a formula for burnout. Worse yet, it establishes career detours that are hard to undo. The 'foot in the door' idea assumes that all experience is good experience, but that's not always true. A toxic workplace, for instance, stalls your growth. Don't panic-apply. Look for a role that builds momentum, not just fills space on your resume. Ask yourself, 'What will I learn in this role? Who will I become by doing this job?' It's okay to wait for something more aligned with your goals. There's still a stigma around job-hopping—older generations like the loyalty factor. Companies are now embracing the reality that candidates are pivoting multiple times within their careers. Staying in a dead-end job out of obligation helps no one. Without leadership development or growth opportunities, additional time in the role is unlikely to lead to meaningful progress. This doesn't mean you should resign at the first sign of discomfort; it does mean you should regularly evaluate the situation. Ask yourself, 'Am I developing new skills? Do I have mentorship? Is there an upward path at this company?' Higher education can be valuable, but it's also expensive and not always necessary. Many grads are pressured into applying for graduate programs simply because they don't know what else to do. In industries such as law, academia orclinical work, an additional degree is essential. However, in fields such as marketing, technology or entrepreneurship, hands-on experience often outweighs academic credentials. Work in the field first. It's better to test the waters in your industry, identify gaps in your knowledge and then decide if a graduate degree is worth the investment. Grad school is a powerful tool, not a default next step. The job market has changed. It's time for new grads to question old rules and build smarter ... More strategies. This one is the most damaging of all. The idea that you need a perfectly mapped-out 5-year plan before you even start working generates unnecessary pressure. Careers today are nonlinear. The average person changes careers up to eight times. What matters most is learning how to pivot and build relationships. Your first job isn't your forever job. Build skills that set you apart from your competition. It's more helpful to focus on the next right step rather than a rigid plan. Start where you are and stay open to what you discover. The early years of your career are about progression. Anyone who tells you that your career should be linear is selling a shortcut that most likely doesn't exist. The best way to navigate post-grad life is to ask yourself three questions consistently: These questions keep you aligned with your career identity. The rules that may have worked for previous generations no longer apply in a market now shaped by AI and remote work. What worked for your parents is now obsolete. You don't need to follow someone else's blueprint. You need your own strategy that evolves with your definition of success. Listen carefully to advice, but don't be afraid to question it. Your career isn't something you inherit—it's something you design.
