Samsung Odyssey Ark: specifications and price of the curved gaming monitor from the firm.

The Samsung Odyssey Ark monitor, 55 inches in size with a 1000R curvature radius, includes the Neural Quantum Processor Ultra to optimize content upscaling to 4K.

The South Korean company presented the Odyssey Ark at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year, a monitor that integrates a solar panel and a USB Type-C port for charging, eliminating the need for disposable batteries, and is now available for sale globally.

The main appeal of this monitor designed for gaming is its 55-inch screen and 1000R curvature, designed to fully cover the user's peripheral vision. Samsung points out that this effect is intensified with the Cabin mode and the adjustable-height stand, which allows the screen to be rotated and pivoted.
