Samsung announced its largest curved monitor at CES 2022. The Odyssey Ark measures 55 inches and is ideal for gaming and productivity activities. For gamers, the screen is able to wrap the field of view in such a way that the user can see both the front and the side when playing, for example, the Flight Simulator title. In addition, the monitor can be rotated by 90° for those who will use it for work, more comfortably displaying spreadsheets or a feed.
With a 16:9 aspect ratio Quantum Dot Mini LED screen, the Odyssey Ark displays a crisp image. It is possible to adjust it in different ways through its support, being able to rotate, tilt and increase or decrease the height. This ability is critical, because due to its size, when using it vertically, you are likely to be uncomfortable if you don't make the proper position adjustments.

Through the multiview function, Odyssey Ark allows the user to adjust how the image will be displayed to adapt to the game or program screen and avoid distortion. The monitor even has a control dial to control the light and interface.
