A circle with a radius of 1 meter (3.3 feet) or 1000R, which is the curvature of the Odyssey Ark G97NB’s 55″ 4K monitor, has a radius of 3.3 feet or 1 meter. It also features a normal 16:9 aspect ratio and a 3,840 X 2,160-pixel resolution.
The cockpit mode, in which the entire display is rotated 90 degrees on its axis to form a long and broad vertical display, is the Odyssey Ark G97NB’s most striking feature. Together with the panel’s 14-bit processor, the Odyssey Ark G97NB’s Quantum Mini LEDs enable 1056 local dimming. It also boasts a static contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 and 16,384 black levels.
It provides “Quantum HDR 2000,” which corresponds to a peak brightness of roughly 2,000 nits. The display has a matte texture to reduce glare and reflections. The display boasts a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms grey-to-grey response time, and it supports FreeSync Premium Pro. The Neural Quantum Processor Ultra can also convert older games to 4K resolution.
The stand that comes with the box can be adjusted for height and tilt and offers three different wall mount options (200×200, 300×300, and 400×400). You can tilt the screen 90 degrees in cockpit mode so that the bottom part is largely vertical and the rest hangs overhead.
The Odyssey Ark contains an integrated audio system with four speakers—one in each corner—and two woofers at the bottom. These speakers have a combined output of 60W and a frequency response as low as 45Hz.
Other Features and Pricing
The Odyssey Ark G97NB is the same size as four 22.5″ monitors, so it may also be utilized in a borderless multi-monitor setup. It does have four HDMI inputs to help with that. If you put it in Cockpit mode, you can also have a vertical stack of three virtual displays each measuring 27″.
You can also change the image size between 55″ and 27″ and the aspect ratio from 16:9 through 21:9 to 32:9. The Ark Dial is solar-powered, just as the remote controls for recent Samsung TVs. The monitor has several helpful gaming features.
The Game Bar makes it simple to check that everything is in order, including whether you’re getting the frame rate you expect, whether HDR and VRR are enabled, and other details. The pre-installed Samsung Gaming Hub will offer recommendations for games from different streaming services including Xbox, GeForce Now, and Stadia.
