Samsung Odyssey family has been home to the company’s flagship gaming monitor. The Odyssey Ark joins the lineup as the world’s first 55-inch 4K curved gaming display with a 165Hz refresh rate. So, let’s go through the Samsung Odyssey Ark’s specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal.
Samsung Odyssey Ark Overview:
Display
Samsung initially showed us this monitor at CES 2022, and it is now available for mass shipment. Going over its primary USP, the display, it’s a 55″ mini-LED powered panel with 1000R curvature and 4K resolution. You can also rotate it, which according to Samsung adds a new level of immersion.
Best of all, it has a cockpit mode that allows users to flip the entire display vertically for multitasking and a completely different experience.
Likewise, the display has a 165Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a built-in chipset to upscale video to 4K for the best gaming experience. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and has features such as a Game Bar for adjusting the display aspect ratio (16:9 / 21:9 / 32:9).
Another notable software feature is the Gaming Hub, which allows you to access popular PC and console games as well as leading streaming services all in one spot. A Multi View feature allows up to four apps to be split over the screen.
