Samsung’s 40-inch Odyssey G7 (G75F) curved ultrawide is $649.99 on Amazon, down from a $999.99 list price. That’s $350 off. It’s a 5120 x 2160 screen, what Samsung calls WUHD and most people call 5K2K, and it suits MacBook and Mac mini owners who’d rather have one wide screen than two monitors with a bezel down the middle.
We checked the price, seller and stock on Amazon on November 14, 2026. Amazon.com sells it. Samsung’s own US store lists the same model, LS40FG75DENXZA, at $999.99, so Amazon is $350 cheaper for the identical monitor.
One 40-inch 5K2K ultrawide gives you more room than two 1440p monitors
Two 27-inch QHD monitors side by side give you 5,120 pixels across and 1,440 down, about 7.4 million pixels in total, with a seam in the middle. The G7 gives you the same 5,120 pixels across, 2,160 down and no seam, which works out to about 11 million pixels. You get 720 extra rows for timelines, spreadsheets and long documents.

Samsung’s spec table lists a 21:9 VA panel with a 1000R curve, 350 nits typical brightness, VESA DisplayHDR 600, 3,000:1 static contrast, 99% sRGB and 90% DCI coverage, up to 180Hz and a 1ms response time. It also supports Picture-by-Picture, so you can run your Mac on one half and a work PC on the other.
One warning if you shop on Samsung’s site. Its US page title and image labels call this a 4K 165Hz monitor, but the spec table on the same page lists WUHD 5,120 x 2,160 and a maximum of 180Hz. The spec table is the one to trust.

Which Macs can run the Odyssey G7, based on Apple’s external display limits
Samsung doesn’t mention Mac support, so here’s what Apple says. The MacBook Neo supports one external display at up to 4K at 60Hz, which is 3,840 pixels across. The G7 is 5,120 pixels across, so Apple doesn’t promise the Neo can run it at native resolution. If you own a Neo, this isn’t your screen.
The M5 MacBook Air is a better match. Apple lists one external display at up to 5K (5120 x 2880) at 120Hz, and the G7 has fewer pixels than that. But Apple’s table doesn’t list 5120 x 2160 by name, so don’t count on 180Hz, or even 120Hz, until you’ve tried it. The M6 Mac mini can run up to three external displays, and has HDMI built in.
Cables are the other catch. The G7 has no USB-C input, only DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports. A MacBook Air only has Thunderbolt 4 ports, so you’ll need a USB-C to DisplayPort cable or a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Samsung includes HDMI and DisplayPort cables in the box. The G7 can’t charge your laptop either, so your MacBook stays on its own charger.
Running a very wide external screen on macOS 27 has had rough edges too, as our report on Mission Control and external display bugs in macOS 27.0.1 covers. Check that your Mac is up to date before you judge the monitor.
Buy the 40-inch Odyssey G7 if you want one screen and no seam on your Mac desk
The stand adjusts 120mm in height, tilts from -5 to 20 degrees and swivels 20 degrees each way, and there’s a 100 x 100 VESA mount. Samsung lists no speakers, and the screen draws up to 140W from its external power adapter.
Buy it if you have an M5 MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro or an M6 Mac mini and you want a single wide workspace for video timelines, code or side-by-side windows. Pass if you own a MacBook Neo, if you want one-cable charging, or if you do color-critical photo work, where Studio Display’s flat 5K panel is the safer tool.
At $649.99, the Samsung 40-inch Odyssey G7 on Amazon is $949.01 less than Studio Display and replaces two monitors with one.
