This year's Memorial Day deals have kicked off early, covering the week leading up to the holiday with some major discounts. If you're shopping for a new monitor, Samsung has you covered with its unbelievable promotion.

Three of its best 49-inch Odyssey ultrawide gaming monitors are on sale, and when you buy one, Samsung is tossing in a 27-inch QHD monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate for free.

The best overall deal involves the Samsung Odyssey G95C, on sale for 50% off. That drops the price from $1,599.98 to $799.99. Add the $300 value of the Odyssey G5 that's included for free, and you have one mega deal.

Is the free Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor any good?

I've been covering deals events for a long time, and I don't recall ever seeing something like this.

Usually, you'll get either a sale price or a free add-on; rarely do you get both. The Odyssey G9 (G95C) is by far the best deal, hitting 50% off before you even consider the additional free monitor.

Saving $300 on the other Odyssey super ultrawides isn't bad either, especially if you can't live without the superb color and contrast afforded by QD-OLED technology.

So what's the deal with the free monitor Samsung is tacking on to its super ultrawides?

The Odyssey G55C is regularly priced at $300, so it's not like Samsung is giving away something inconsequential.

It's a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with a VA panel, 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync compatibility.

It's a perfectly capable gaming monitor in its own right, and it's yours to keep, sell, trade, or give away.

This deal is live now and should run through the holiday weekend, but I wouldn't wait too long if you're interested. I've seen Samsung's previous add-on deals sell out before expected.
