I’ve followed the status of this monitor since it first came on the market and even with the mixed reviews, I’m glad I pulled the trigger. Especially when I paid only $2,100 instead of the full $3,400. I will try to be as detailed in this review as possible. -Setup The box that Amazon dropped off was massive and was heavy. I got this thing 28 hours after I ordered it so kudos to Amazon for the quick delivery. I also own a G9 which I moved to my second computer with this one as its replacement. It is HIGHLY recommended as with the G9 to have two people lift this thing, but I’m stubborn and did it myself. The box slides up revealing the monitor neatly packed in styrofoam. With the accessories packed neatly on top. After taking the accessories out, you have to lay the monitor face forward (still in the styrofoam of course) to attach the massive heavy stand. After everything is together, set it on your desk holding the base only. This thing weighs 91 pounds assembled so make sure you have a good desk and again…two people…I did it by myself and immediately took an IBUPROFEN after. The one connect connects to the back and acts as a hub for everything to be plugged into that. The rest is straight forward. -Using this beast! I’m a huge techie so it took me no time to figure out the ark dial which is solar powered and the amount of light this thing kicks off will keep it charged. It also comes with a second remote that is a basic Samsung smart remote….also solar charged and both have a usb-c plug if you want to manually charge it. It automatically picked up my PC when I turned it on and I felt like I was staring into the sun! This thing is bright!!! After fidgeting around with settings, I got it how I wanted it and connecting it to my 3090, I am able to get the full 165hz (even though my G9 was pushing 240…I didn’t notice the difference.) I love the back light that responds to the games and paired with my Corsair light towers, you are fully immersed. I’m a big flight sim guy and usually play in vr…with this….I don’t have to. The 1000r curve is natural to the curve of your eye and it’s literally double the height of the G9 so it’s like being in the game. Turning the monitor vertical (cockpit mode) is surprisingly really easy and is amazing for my music setup. Just lift the monitor to full height and turn. You do have to manually change the settings in windows from landscape to portrait but that’s it. The screen towers over you and it’s insane leaning back with the screen curving over you. I tested the speakers which sound amazing by the way, but I use the optical port to my 5.1 surround system and it shakes the room. The home button takes you to Samsungs hub which reminds me of my TVs…all Samsung….and is pretty easy to navigate. The only big con is that this doesn’t read multiple inputs in the HDMI, but I can apply play from my IPad while gaming, or use DEX from my phone. All in all this is a great monitor and would highly recommend for hardcore gaming and multitasking. +Pros The size Clarity and brightness Easy to turn from landscape to portrait Decent sound if you don’t have external speakers It’s a Samsung product so customer service is great -Cons The price….it’s on sale for $1,000….get it now No display port input 165hz instead of it’s 240 from the G9

First off, it’s a Samsung, so the image quality is amazing! The refresh rate is awesome for a display this size, which is huge at a 31” distance from my face based on the 1000R curve spec. For a 55” display, this is WAY over-engineered. However, the size is really nice when running a 4K computer on it! The weight alone makes 1-person setup nearly impossible. As for thickness, it’s relatively thin, but not OLED thin, more like LCD thin. It’s definitely a niche market for these monitors, but it is definitely helping my aging eyes. At regular price, I cannot see any value for that price. But I picked mine up on sale so I’m ok with what I paid. Overall, I’m very happy with this display, despite some of the horror stories regarding Samsung support, problems with the OneConnect box, and random/un provoked screens breaking.

TLDR is that the bottom. Context: Technology is my hobby, not my day job. I am not going to pretend to be an expert, however, I am above average when it comes to tech. I build my own gaming PCs, For my busyness I build my own servers when needed, upgrade them, maintain the network, handle our VPN, router, said connected switches to our router. Install new workstations, software, route our VOIP network switches and call directions. So on and so forth. I am an avid gamer. I create music in a digital audio workstation (DAW). Gaming consists of my PC: RTX 4090, I-9 13900K, 32gigs DDR5, ddr5 6000 MHz, XBOX Series X, and PlayStation 5. All of witch are connected to large screens, laser projectors, 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos ETC. The point is, I am the "money isn't part of the equation" when deciding what toys I am going to buy, and I defiantly know my way around troubleshooting tech issues. I love my day job, but it also servers the purpose to feed my expensive hobbies and love for tech. Explanation to my rating: Since day one I have had nothing but issues. I have managed to solve them all one by one. But since I have been using this monitor from November 2022 to current, it has been nothing but a steady stream of issues. The good - I am a niche gamer and this really fits that niche. I am not in to the highest possible refresh rates (120hz is more then enough for me) I don't care about productive form factor (the bigger the better). What I care about is a large, high quality picture. I don't care about color accuracy. I love oversaturated HDR images. I might sound like I am being sarcastic, but I am not. I like what I like. This monitor gives me the best of what I am here for. Over the years for a computer monitor I have used 120 inch laser projectors, 85-95 inch led TVs, both Ultrawide monitor form factors in screen sizes as large as they come, so on and so forth to scratch that itch. This monitor gives me the best of all of those worlds. I do enjoy being able to switch my form factor from 16:9 to 21:9 to 32:9. And truly switch, as in my 4090 believes that the monitor connected to it is now a ultrawide and not a standard wide screen that's been stretched. Awesome for over the shoulder third person games and the like. The Screen curve is aggressive enough to sit 2-3 feet away (further then 4 feet back I would not recommend as it becomes more of a fish eye lens then a monitor) There are moments where it feels as if I am looking through a head visor and not staring at a screen. The HDR is amazing on it. Sound is.... as good as a top end TV would have. However, I use my two ADAM a77x for gaming and sound creation, so not really a needed feature for me. This monitor has moved my gaming PC habits to a well suited ergonomic task chair and desk set up which has been much better then using an entire room strung with wires to achieve the same effect of "gaming in a movie theater." The Bad - So what's the problems then? The software is absolute garbage. And I hate saying that when talking about Samsung. First day the monitor hung on updates. I had to reset to factory settings on day one to get past it. Then it stopped recognizing my RTX 3090. I had to go through and roll back drivers and turn off the monitors gaming mode to get it to display again. When I upgraded to a RTX 4090 the monitor started displaying a transparent looking white line down the center of the screen. I reset to factory again, updated it and back to normal. Than I needed to move the monitor to a new large desk for it (things 100 pounds and takes up a whole conference desk by its self) which after plugging everything back in and spending a good 5 hours on cable management for the new set up, the screen started having random black outs. Turns out it was a damaged HDMI cable this time, not the monitors fault. HOWEVER, after buying a new 2.1 HDMI cable the monitor did not want to recognize the 4090. It would power on the monitor when booting. It would display the bios during POST. But when windows booted it would say the "the device is turned off and the monitor will go into hibernation in XX seconds" even as I am staring at my troubleshooting monitor which is displaying windows no problem. After messing around with settings with no help from Samsung, as they just kept asking "is your device turned on? Try unplugging all the cables and try again" I managed to find out that for whatever reason if the HDMI cable is switched you need to reactivate the input signal plus again because the monitor will auto switch game mode on when connected to a pc which disallows the signal plus setting. It seems that every month is a new problem with this monitor. And it always comes down to the updates or the software. Conclusion: TLDR: If your like me, and money isn't part of your purchasing equation, then its worth a gamble. When I solve each issue I am back to being absolutely in love with the picture, the form factor, all of it!! But if your looking for a monitor for all your consoles, this does a poor job and may require hours of trouble shooting. If you want a Monitor/TV deal, this is not that at all. If your looking for a straight plug and play behemoth monitor, this is not very plug and play friendly, and the added bells and whistles tend to cause more issues then provide any value. If you are in to pushing refresh rates and highest possible frames, or want something better then VRR, this is not a good monitor for you. Ill keep using mine for now. Maybe another firmware update will fix some issues instead of take away another afternoon of trouble shooting. But if I could get a do over, I would have got something different. And I may end up doing just that if the issues keep coming.

Unsure why people give this monitor bad reviews. Maybe they are expecting too much it is very nice. The setting are complex when using a pc connected due to over lapping hdr, and color settings on both pc and monitor. This thing is a beast though. Brightness is intense, dark inky blacks, hdr looks great. One thing I noticed is if you try to run hdr and game mode at the same time the color gets washed out when using pc. If you use game mode on monitor set hdr on your pc. With consoles everything works great and is a little easier. When it comes to settings this thing has options to say the least, tons of options. You can fine tune it to look amazing. The vertical mode I don’t use too much but it cool for certain applications. 1000r curve is amazing on a monitor this big. I recommend and disagree with all the bad reviews. Worth the money to me.

For those that want the quick review, yes I absolutely love this display. It has changed my entire experience at how I do everything at my PC. Just be aware that this is extremely heavy for a monitor. The big deal people get stuck on is the price. At the time of this review the actual price dropped to $2,400, the original list price was $3,500, and I purchased it on sale for $2,300 a few months ago. I would absolutely wait for this guy to be on sale just because any % drop is huge. I just can't fathom spending $3,500 for a monitor, tech has definitely gotten out of hand. Any early 5/5 star reviews that bought this at full price are wild to me because price alone would've dropped it a star at least. Unboxing was fun to say the least, definitely go slow and have a second person help lift it with you. Nothing crazy though, just follow the instructions. As soon as you start gearing up to go you'll realize if you hadn't already that you can't really use multiple HDMI inputs at once to divide the screen, like a PC, Playstation, or Xbox. This might be changed in the future, but I only use my PC so this isn't really an issue for me anyhow. There's a way to get two PC inputs going, but I haven't tried it. I wrote you have to compromise in the title because of the HDMI inputs as well as if you intend to use multiple windows there isn't a great way for them to resize the window automatically. I grabbed some software that lets me resize windows a lot easier, but it required some extra tinkering. I don't game full screen because it genuinely is an overkill. The screen for the optimal viewing angle is just way too massive to be able to play any slightly competitive game without a disadvantage. Cinematic games are stunning though, and watching movies or shows on this makes me never want to leave my desk. I resize my game window to about the size of the Samsung G9 monitor, and use two windows above for Discord and Chrome. With manual window resizing comes problems. I have noticed that I have the SLIGHTEST white bar across my screen from where the top of a window sits on my screen since I do everything in windowed mode. I really searched for any sort of pixel shift or anti burn in measure but couldn't find it. I am coming from some like 7 year old 60hz monitors so I never even thought about brightness and burn in, but I would recommend not going full blast on your brightness, that's a me problem so I can't hate on Samsung. In the future I'll be trying to remove windows bars and the start bar to minimize any more burn in. Another issue I've been having is there's a quadrant of pixels on the left side of the screen that flicker ever so slightly, but only if you are really looking for it you will see it. Forums recommended that there was a cable loose, so I made sure all my cables were tight. Only when I unplugged and replugged my Samsung box was the flickering fixed, but sure enough it came back the next few days and goes away the same. Not sure if I got a bad monitor or cable, but I'll be following up with Samsung on this one. If I could talk to my past self I'd recommend a warranty, because a purchase that's over two thousand dollars with a 30 day return policy is a really bad feeling once you hit those 30 days and start to have issues. The monitor itself is amazing, and I don't think I can ever go back to a smaller monitor now. I'd recommend viewing this monitor in action at Microcenter if they have it on display because it will give you a feel for size. I have mine on a really large sitting/standing desk and it can hold up to around 550lbs so just make sure you are giving the monitor a solid place to sit. Hope this helps with your purchase! Edit: One year in. Still loving the monitor. It's bad because once it dies I have to either go back to not using a giga huge monitor or buy another/similar. The reason for this review edit is because my monitor has a dead pixel now after a year. That being said, it is easy to not notice or lose track of it due to the size and amount of pixels in this panel. Here's the kicker, are there more dead pixels? Maybe, but I'm not looking for them. I am familiar with dead pixels from work history so I know how common they can be as sad as that sounds. Samsung's response is a understandable one, with the % of dead pixels being so small they are not going to replace the monitor. I was not given a % value of allowable dead pixels, but just be aware that this issue is in new, old, and every monitor so don't let it scare you off.

The Samsung Odyssey Ark is absolutely stunning. The massive 55-inch curved display creates an incredibly immersive experience for gaming, movies, and multitasking. The 4K resolution is crystal clear, colors are vibrant, and the 165Hz refresh rate delivers exceptionally smooth performance. The build quality is premium, setup was straightforward, and the customizable features make it easy to tailor the experience to your needs. A true centerpiece for any gaming or workstation setup. Maybe a tad large once seen in real life. But a beautiful display!

I've had this for a few months, and sure it was exciting at first, however when you start to realize where all the missteps Samsung made it's insane to justify purchasing. It's unfortunate, because this could have truly been an amazing product. First the good: the screen is nice; great curve and the size is daunting for a game monitor. Refresh rate capability is good, as one should expect at this price. Build quality is pretty solid. The stand is surprisingly sturdy for the size, probably why they built this to weigh 118lbs. However in cockpit mode, it does make you feel uneasy, but it does stay put. The bad: hard to know where to begin. First and foremost, if you're considering this for multiview features which I assume most are to have this as an all in one monitor solution, pause and look at reviews that elaborates on how wretchedly bad Samsung dropped the ball on this primary feature for a gaming monitor. You can only multiview with one HDMI source shown at a time. Even with Samsung's gaming hub displayed, multiview is not possible at all. Most game enthusiasts will want to display their game HDMI and then their stream or chat HDMIs. This is surprisingly not possible and it doesn't look like Samsung intends to fix it with an update. You can only multiview one HDMI and then any of the junk proprietary Samsung apps like YouTube or their home grown internet browser. Pathetic. Additionally, splitting audio between displays is only possible with some of the apps you won't use anyway. Long story short, I don't even use multiview for these reasons because this deems it worthless to me rendering this into nothing more than a really large monitor. I actually have two other monitors for my other HDMI connections now instead. The construction weighs a whopping 118lbs, so be prepared for that with a strong desk capable. Support is terrible if you have problems like not getting one of their listed supported controllers to work correctly. The stand will position the monitor at its lowest height to where the bottom is about 10" from surface. This was disappointing to me, and I tend to look up quite a bit when using it for work because of this if I want to use the whole screen. It's hard to know where to put a webcam that's not off to the side because of that. Cockpit mode is a neat concept in theory, but after the niche wore off I never bother to use it, probably because multiview is so worthless. There's a plethora of Samsung garbage apps they baked into this that I don't care for and never use. All the app stuff seems half baked and rushed without actual thought before product delivery. The ark dial remote is bulky like a giant calculator. There's a smaller remote, but using them is unintuitive at times with the TVs software. TBH, I find that I mostly just use the power button or switching the single HDMI display. It is nice, however, that they have a solar for recharge. The TV is slow to recognize display from my MacBook via HDMI, sometimes takes like 20 seconds. Powering the TV on or recognizing my switch's HDMI is slow like that too. The backlit LED output is underwhelming. I bought additional Govee LEDs because it hardly produces enough output. In summary, given that multiview is rendered useless, this is basically nothing more than an over priced really large single screen curved gaming monitor. I wish now I'd gotten an Odyssey G9 and mounted two monitors above for stream channel purposes and would have probably spent less with a better experience. Samsung really dropped the ball on this because it could have been great. Two stars is generous because of these short comings. Samsung: fix multiview and this could be totally different.

As a monitor, it's great (if over-priced). But I specifically bought it for the multi-view features and they are basically useless. There's a controller that is supposed to allow you to control size/position of the multi-view windows but it almost never actually does anything. Multi-view does allow you to view multiple sources at once, but it wastes a ton of space. Like a picture in picture function except the whole side that the smaller picture is on is blank except for the window. It doesn't overlay. Also, does not support multiple HDMI connections at once, only HDMI and something else like wireless screen share which sucks. Delayed, bad picture, jumpy with a high performance laptop 9 inches away. I elected to keep this because it actually does work really well with Windows 11's window snapping feature for using multiple applications at same time, but I was really disappointed by Multi-View. Again - great monitor, but given that none of the special features are useful at all, it's just way over-priced. Also, for me with slightly sensitive eyes, it is way too bright. You can't adjust the backlight and it's lowest brightness setting is still too bright.
