Samsung has previously tested the limits of displays with monitors like the Odyssey Neo G9, but now the company is pushing the boundaries even further with the absolutely massive 55-inch Odyssey Ark and its wild “flexible” displays.
The Ark is a next-generation gaming monitor with a 16:9 display that can be used horizontally or vertically.The monitor’s “multi-view” feature uses adjustable screen sizes to watch movies, play games, or anything else you need to do.
Samsung’s claims are light on specs, so it’s still unclear if the curved display is actually flexible, or if the display is just based on a flexible panel that helps support what appears to be an all-encompassing 1000R curved design.
The Ark clearly blurs the lines between gaming monitor size and basically a full-featured TV, but it does have some neat gaming-specific features.The height-adjustable stand swivels to a vertical orientation for a “cockpit-like” gaming experience in landscape and portrait modes.The monitor also comes with a wireless controller with a dedicated scroll wheel for adjusting the monitor’s brightness and image quality or navigating the Ark’s on-screen interface.
More storage than free storage – add up do we really have to convince you to buy 1TB of backup storage for $50?Basically unheard of.You can use Degoo to back up your device, send large files, or save copies.Never run out of storage space again.
The Ark isn’t expected to go on sale until the second half of 2022, so it may be a while before we get any information on the Ark’s final specs and price — though you can almost guarantee it’ll be quite expensive.
If you like Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 display but don’t like its massive 49-inch display, or don’t want to spend more than $2,500, the new 32-inch Odyssey Neo G8 is basically a smaller (and hopefully more affordable) version of the new G9 .
Like the Neo G9, the Neo G8 has a similar 1000R curve and 1ms response time, but the Neo G8 offers higher resolution.Samsung claims the Neo G8 is the world’s first screen with both a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate.
To ensure your games look as smooth as possible, the Neo G8 supports Nvidia G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync Premium, while its 2000 nits peak brightness powered by quantum dot mini LEDs will make HDR content look incredible.Like the G9, the Neo G8 comes with Samsung’s Core Sync technology, so you can sync its rear RGB lighting to match what you’re watching.
Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t released official pricing or availability for the Neo G8.If you’re planning to upgrade your gaming setup this year, you might want to wait and see how much these monitors cost.
