Spoiled myself and bought the Samsung Odyssey Ark 4K UHD Gaming Monitor. One word: a monster. This monitor is a mind-blowing experience (with a 55 curved inch screen), 1ms display with 6, high quality Dolby Atmos sound dome. Fits perfectly in our man-cave. Unboxing. The delivery company warned us to have min 2 people helping with this, as the screen comes with a heavy weighted stand. And trust me, you really need 2 people. Once this monster is installed, you can follow some easy set-up steps: adding your Samsung account, Wi-Fi connections, run some software updates and connect your game controllers. The Ark comes with a dial controller, but I did this all through a simple TV remote controller. All this, will take you another 30min. I also went through the configuration part: adjusting the defaults for the picture, sound and gaming. The eclipse lighting is actually a cool effect, would definitely recommend you to try this out. A short note on the Ark Dial remote: it has a large dial and buttons for controlling various displays and settings. A mouse and keyboard can be added on the One C Box. So then let the fun begin: a 55” monitor, with incredible sound power and access to streaming (Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime) and gaming Apps. Bye bye cruel world, welcome to the game zone… Fun starts with the Ark Game Center. It comes with some standard game apps (Xbox, Prime, etc) but you can easily install your favorites (need to go to settings). You log-in with your account, and you are off to the races. The Game experience is amazing, just a big wow. The curved screen let you feel that you are in the game (I kept it on landscape), and it pixel quality is overwhelming. I very much appreciate the multi view option: when in landscape, you can have 4 views (similar as a 27” screen, crazy), so easy to put your laptop up, while playing a game and watching the news. Due to the size of the screen, it doesn’t feel overloaded and it still gives you that focus for one of the screens. The beautiful 4K UHD display is crisp, bright and clear. Samsung recommends you to keep a distance of 80cm, and fully agree with that.
When you are done with playing, you can go to the streaming Apps. Samsung TV Plus has also many channels of programs and movies (so you can close your cable contract). Perfect for when you want to do screen view option, you can put the news on while playing a game.
Very excited to have this in da house.
