Samsung recently showed us a closer look at the massive 55-inch Odyssey Ark curved gaming monitor!
Samsung Odyssey Ark Gaming Monitor: A quick look!
The Samsung Odyssey Ark gaming monitor is truly a gamer's dream come true: a massive 55-inch display with a 1000R curvature and a 165Hz refresh rate!
Now it's just a great gaming display, packed with gaming-specific features like:
- 4K display resolution, 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, and HDR 10+ support
- Refresh rate up to 165 Hz, with 1 ms (GTG) response time
- Variable refresh rate support with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
- Quantum Mini-LED panel for next-generation color depth and image quality
- sAGAR (Super Anti-Glare, Anti-Reflection) film reduces glare.
- The Ultra Neural Quantum Processor automatically analyzes each frame to improve image quality
- Dolby Atmos with Sound Dome technology for immersive surround sound
- Four corner speakers with two center woofers for 60-watt 2.2.2 channel audio
It also comes with an exclusive Ark Dial that allows you to quickly adjust the screen size and ratio to enjoy multiple content sources at the same time!
Despite its large size, the Samsung Odyssey Ark gaming monitor can be rotated clockwise into Cockpit mode. It's not motorized, but it's not difficult to rotate the monitor.
In both portrait and landscape orientation, its Multi View capability lets you make the most of its huge screen by dividing it into sections.
You can add up to four displays in standard landscape mode and three displays in portrait cockpit mode, allowing you to multitask easily. You can play games while chatting on social media or watching YouTube videos, all on the same screen!
