Samsung Electronics Co. announced the global launch of the Odyssey Ark, the latest and most advanced model in Samsung's Odyssey line of gaming monitors aimed at providing users with a premium gaming and movie viewing experience.
The Odyssey Ark is the world's first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming display that delivers a 165Hz refresh rate and 1 millisecond response time.
The company says that the display offers an immersive experience when activating Cockpit Mode, a function that allows the screen to rotate, stack and pivot with a height-adjustable stand for an optimal display environment.
The monitor's Multi View feature allows the monitor to be used to its full potential by displaying up to four screens simultaneously, eliminating the need for a multi-monitor setup, according to Samsung.
The Flex Move Screen feature also allows users to adjust the display screen size between 55 and 27 inches, rotate the screen vertically, and even change the ratio between 16:9, 21:9 and 32:9 with the included Ark Dial controller.
“The gaming community craves new experiences and Odyssey Ark provides access to a new gaming world that will raise the bar across the industry,” said Ha Hye-sung, executive vice president of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.
Samsung plans to launch the Odyssey Ark first in the UK then successively in key countries and regions.
