Samsung Odyssey Ark 55" 16:9 4K Ultra HD 165Hz Curved VA Mini-LED LCD HDR Gaming Monitor, Built-In Speakers

This Monitor was quickly replaced with the 2nd Generation as everyone thought it would do what the 2nd gen does. Now we are all stuck with a monitor that we can not get rid of and Samsung will do nothing to help us. Thanks!

I use the monitor mainly for work. I don't often work from home, but there is a significant amount of work I can do from home. I love this monitor because it allows me to easily hook up a dock from my work laptop and switch to it without having to unplug anything from my gaming desktop computer. The large screen area allow me to have two different documents open as well as a webpage for inputting data. Additionally, I'm able to run an app like DirecTV and watch TV while i'm working on the monitor without requiring video processing from my work laptop. This monitor has been a game changer for me. I think it's a novelty that it can turn portrait. I rarely use that feature. It's difficult because there is no comfortable position to view all 3 screens when it flips. It's just too big for that. The top of the panel requires me to look up at an angle that isn't comfortable for my neck. It doesn't matter whether i'm standing or sitting either because the desk elevates so i can still type so that elevates the monitor too. But it is a great monitor and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Resolution not worth the piece tag, and the rotation aspect is lack luster, and lowers the resolution from an already low resolution.

I use this for work and gaming. It does both really well. For work I run multiple windows without needing more than one monitor. For gaming it keeps up with the game and has a good refresh rate. Really enjoy it.

I use this monitor daily while in nursing school, the large area really helps to multi-task and my 14 year old loves to game on it.

Samsung Ark TV Review The Samsung Ark is a massive 55-inch curved 4K display designed for immersive gaming, multitasking, and content consumption. With its Mini LED tech, 165Hz refresh rate, and vertical pivot mode, it's unlike any other screen out there. Picture quality is stunning, and the built-in Dolby Atmos sound is impressive. The included Ark Dial makes it easy to control layouts and settings. However, it's pricey and more suited for enthusiasts or professionals than the average user. Verdict: Bold, immersive, and powerful-but not for everyone.

I use my monitor daily, not just for work but for my own hobbies as well. My favorite thing about it is how it helps reduce eye strain and how great it's been to work on. I'm able to get my work done without any strain and with a great deal of accuracy to the art I produce.

The product is used for electronic games. A very smart and fast product, one of the best made by Samsung. The Samsung Odyssey Ark S55BG970 is a unique 4k, 55-inch monitor with Mini LED backlighting, released in 2022. It features a 1000R curved screen that you can rotate into portrait mode, which the manufacturer advertises as the Cockpit Mode. It's meant to provide more vertical screen space than other monitors, and it has a Multi View feature that lets you view images from an external source and different apps simultaneously, including stacking three windows on top of each other while in portrait mode. It has features many monitors don't have, like Samsung's proprietary Tizen OS smart platform, the Neural Quantum Processor Ultra processor, a 2.2.2 channel speaker setup, and a One Connect box that houses all the inputs outside the monitor. It even has two remotes, including its Ark Dial remote, to quickly change some settings. It has a 165Hz refresh and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that lets you play games at a high refresh rate with its 4k resolution, but unlike most monitors, it doesn't have a DisplayPort input.

I've been using the Samsung Odyssey G8 for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely blown away. The ultrawide curved screen is incredibly immersive, perfect for both gaming and productivity. The colors are vibrant and the image quality is crisp. The 175Hz refresh rate makes gameplay buttery smooth, and I haven't experienced any ghosting or tearing. The only minor downside is the stand takes up a bit of desk space, but that's a small price to pay for such an incredible monitor. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium ultrawide gaming experience.

The monitor's size and resolution are phenomenal. Colors are impressively vibrant, especially in darker backgrounds, and the refresh rate is consistently smooth during gameplay. I also appreciate the extensive customization options for personal content, including wakeup features through SmartThings. The RGB LED backlighting feature has worked perfectly, and I've had no issues there. It creates an amazing viewing environment in the room during game play and movie watching. My only minor concern is the rear cable panel cover-it feels a bit loose, making it easy to dislodge when making adjustments. On a more exciting note, there is an option for a motorized wall mount, which would be a fantastic addition to an already impressive display. After two years of use without a single issue, I've often considered purchasing a second one for a dual-monitor setup. I hope this review helps guide your purchase decision.

I use this for work and gaming. It's drastically enhanced my productivity at work as it seamlessly functions as four monitors and it's completely immersive for gaming. At times (especially when doing barrel rolls in flight simulator) it'll give you some motion sickness. It also makes my work computer work very hard so you'll be able to get more frequent replacements from Bruning out the fans.

General computing: make those windows as large or as small as you want and then place them anywhere within your field of view. There's so much real estate available you won't have to minimize or miss out. Gaming: these days are mostly RTS. Anno 1800, for example, looks gorgeous on this size screen. This is where the immersion comes in. 47"x44" is a wonderful size to fill one's field of view. I can't get enough of this monitor.

I use my monitor for gaming and for movies, when I spin it vertical I get the 32' screen perfect for close gaming. I use the horizontal 55" for movies and gaming further back. I just wish I waited for the 2nd generation lol. Still love this monitor regardless.

I use my monitor for work, school, and gaming. I rarely use the split screen feature. I spend hours on this since I work in development and it works great for me. The resolution and refresh rate are great. I recommend it to all my friends.

First, I really love this Monitor. I use it for Day trading. Wish they make a 60". Also, wish it was light. I've snapped my biceps tendon trying to lift this Monitor by my self. Lol. Overall I would buy this again!

Although this was purchased from a private party rather retail, overall our satisfaction has far outweighed the expectations. The color and graphics are intense. And the sound is spot on. Would definitely purchase again

The monitor is great for games and movies though you do have to go through setting to adjust it to your liking and there's enough humidity ports to plug in consoles and a laptop or pc. It runs great and never really has any issues though if you turn the monitor off any console connected will go into sleep mode.
