OI absolutely love the monitor, but there are a few minor issues that I've noticed. In my opinion, the buttons and the mode switching are just a tad too sensitive. It would be great if they could also provide the option to change frequencies specifically for Samsung TVs. It can be quite frustrating when your wife is changing channels or adjusting the volume, and it affects your monitor as well. However, the real distraction arises in the multiview mode. Occasionally, when I turn on the unit, one side of the monitor goes blank or becomes fuzzy. Thankfully, I've found that exiting and reentering the multiview mode resolves this issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm using this monitor for work primary during day and for gaming inthe nights. The curved screen makes a huge difference in the gaming experience, driving is awesome and playing soccer is also better compared to a flat screen. The other part of the great experience is being able to download the hue sync app and make additional light strips and hue lights (bought separately) to project light against the wall synchronized with the on screen content. This is awesome tech by philips. I was eager to use the multi screen feature with 4 different inputs. I don't se myself using it often. Overall I'm very happy with my huge monitor.

Was super stoked to get this monitor but after 5 days of usage, the monitor started to develop stuck pixels in the lower left center of the monitor. One of the pixels is a harsh white and the other red. It's noticeable in a variety of scenarios from work to gaming and was extremely upsetting to see in such an expensive new monitor. I reached out to the Samsung support for 2-3 hours only for them to close the chat on me when trying to request an exchange/repair of my monitor. Not to mention I also have samsung care + on this product. The monitor is awesome but I cannot in good faith buy a Samsung display if this is how they treat their top customers on top end hardware.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor 2 weeks ago and am loving it. I've been using it for both work and gaming. The ability to plug in multiple display sources from my work laptop allows me to use the multi display feature to its full capability as multiple displays on the one monitor. For productivity it is absolutely great. Gaming is extremely immersive; I've been enjoying a string of indie and AAA titles. The 4k display is crisp, blacks are a deep black and colours are vibrant. When not working or gaming I enjoy the smart TV features while relaxing on the couch at the other end of the room. I highly recommend this monitor!

I bought this monitor on 4th of July sale. This monitor is mindblowing the curve really makes it more immersive. The refresh rate is fantastic the picture is great, it just took some tweaking. Im coming from an oled because my oled had some dead pixels. Black Level in oled is unmatched but this monitor makes up for it in all other areas. I had the issue with the constant disconnecting and spinning wheel , apparently even though i was using a 8k hdmi cable that was the issue. I changed to cable that came in box and so far so good. features in this monitor are great its like having your own personal imax screen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a gamer, and an IT tech that sometimes works from home! I set this up almost as soon as it got delivered, and in all my time I've not found a monitor that comes close to this! I have two inputs coming from my PC, 1 input from my consoles, and 1 input set for my work computer! I can work from my work computer, while monitoring my entire network from my primary home computer, and still have space to game while I have downtime or on my breaks while still being able to keep an eye on everything else going on on my boards. This has far exceeded my expectations, and the clarity from my setup is the best it's ever been! Samsung keeps impressing me, and proving why I'm brand loyal!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 55-inch Odyssey Ark Gen 2 is praised for its stunning visual immersion due to its 1000R curve and 4K Quantum Mini-LED display, delivering excellent picture quality and smooth gaming with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. Users appreciate its unique Cockpit Mode for vertical orientation, Multi-View for multitasking, and surprisingly good built-in sound. However, potential drawbacks include its considerable weight, a complex setup process, and occasional concerns about software issues. Its high price is also a factor, making it a niche product best suited for enthusiasts and power users.

The HDMI 2.1 new gen ports allows you to connect to all new gen consoles and get full usage of the port. The sock built speakers are great but o would still connect some type of external sound! The multi view is great plus , where u can do numerous of task at once! It is very heavy to put on wall your self so please try to get another hand to help! The wall mounts were difficult to find the correct size to fit…. Overall I recommend this monitor to every gamer out there!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My upgrade from Ark Gen 1 to Gen 2 is a must simple for the multi hdmi input. I work from home a few days a week and the multi windows/apps are great for either my productivity for work or have something more fun on the side. Most days I'm working on one window and streaming Samsung TV on another. Sometimes I will mirror from my phone or tablet too. Changing sizes on the windows is still a feature too. All my other Samsung products sync easily as well, whether is my Buds Pro 3, my Z Fold 6 or my ultra 8 tablet. I also game on it with my Xbox and the curve just makes it more immersive and fun.

7 days and so far it is everything I hoped it would be. Excellent for work and home. Similar size to 4 full 32"? monitors, but seamless --> easier to manage than 4 full-size monitors. Easy to switch between devices, up to 4 (3 HDMI, 1 Display port). Works great as a TV as well - YouTube TV, YouTube, other video streaming services...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this monitor. It is HUGE. I have had to move farther back from it to be able to see the whole thing, and really appreciate the ability to divide it up into separate sectors with different inputs. I have had it for only a week, and keep discovering more features. The picture is very clear, setup was straightforward...but you will need two people. It is a beast at over 100 lbs. The pedestal and backing are very heavy. Make sure that you have a desk that can support it. I've played a few games and experienced no ghosting. This thing is amazing and would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The box was intimidating but you know when you are buying quality and don't mind the packaging. This monitor is like two mended Samsung TVs in a curve. Impressive and the resolution makes you forget it's a monitor. Hooking it up will take you one YouTube video take. This monitor allowed me to stream movies and play an online game at the same time. If you constantly find yourself doing two things at the same time and don't want to catch whiplash this is the Samsung for you. This monitor carries the Brand of excellence when you open it and plug it in you will see what I mean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the monitor for gaming initially and now use it primarily for work. The gaming experience is immersive and all encompassing. It's also transformative depending on my needs. Previously, I used a Samsung TV for my gaming and even though that was amazing, the difference in quality with the Ark is amazing. If you want the most realistic picture for any game, this would check all the boxes. Now that I use it for work, the true benefits of this monitor are apparent. It had the ability to allow me to run multiple desktops for all my reports and navigate smoothly across each one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used for content consumption and gaming. Picture is beautiful, colors are Vibrant and The curve is amazing! Especially for its size. It actually enables you to have the monitor closer other 55" monitors could be because the curve keeps more of the screen in your view. Motion blur is handled very well on it with basically zero ghosting even on high fps games. Media content is also a pleasure to watch. Content creation on it is a dream. Being able to rotate the Montior is icing on 5he cake. If you can get it on one of it's many stellar sales there's no monitor that's comes close!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about paying the money for an expensive gaming monitor. That skepticism was completely lost when I first used it for my online multi player game. It has to have the clearest resolution I ever witnessed with vibrant colors. Performance is bar none with a viewing angle optimal for any advanced multi player gaming. The ability to observe multiple players actions with such clarity and no lagging is a luxury few other ever experience with other monitors. I am a Samsung Gaming Monitor buyer for life now. Try for yourself and you will never consider another brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the productivity increase from this thing as a vertical monitor next to my ultra wide OLED that I use for gaming etc. The only complain I'd have is the backlight has some problems with icons and sometimes the mouse doesn't trigger the localized blacklight to turn on. This gets worse when you turn on auto-dimming or whatever, but then the icons all look better. The one box runs a bit hot, but far from important. Samsung needs to do a better job overall with their remotes controlling multiple devices, I've got pieces of foil and tape over sensors all over the room this monitor is in to prevent cross communication. Mainly IR which seems to be active instead of bluetooth when the monitor is off being turned on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor mostly for productivity and some gaming. From a productivity standpoint is a beast, it has up to 4 video inputs so I have both my personal and work laptop, both using 2 monitor spots each. I use the tv box as my docking station and I can seamlessly change from one laptop with just the remote. For gaming, no need to go into details as it's basically the latest cutting edge technology (and a little more with Ark mode/vertical mode). In addition, it's also a smart tv, so I have all my streaming apps and shows that I can watch while doing work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how you can have different views at same time. Sometimes hard to get things position the way you want. You have to go into game mode to get the 32:9. HDMI and kvm switch is really nice, to share mouse and keyboard with multipledevices. The sound is great for built in speakers. Streaming games is great, loads fast. What make this 5 stars is double audio with HDMI devices, not just in monitor apps. Love to work on laptop and listen to music, or stream a show. Be able to listen to music when click on laptop screen. With that i could have monitor for everything, and do not have to find the webpage for music and stop it. The easy connect screen share takes a lot of work to get a good quality resolution of laptop.

I love the everything about it except for the volume. To change volume you have to raise/lower it by, in my opinion, way to much to get it to seem like it changed at all. Example: if I'm having an issue hearing something, I have to raise it like 30-40 levels. I have a Samsung t.v. and to raise the volume on it, I only have to go up 10-15. I expected the Ark to be the same. It behaves the same with Intelligent Sound Mode on or off. I've had the Ark for 3 months now and am really considering using the speakers I was using before getting the Ark...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I watched all the videos before I bought this monitor and I knew it was going to be an absolute beast, but the feature I did not care about turned out to be one of the most awesome things about it. The fact that it is not just a monitor but also a fully featured smart TV. In the morning before work I like to put on some You Tube and have my coffee while I get ready. That used to involve booting up my PC but not any more! I can leave the PC off and jump right into my favorite content. I simply can't go back to life before this monitor was in it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen, because I thought it had the best features for gamers and multitasking in mind. This monitor has the most features I've ever seen in a monitor and most I never thought I need till I started using it. I though a 55" monitor would be too much, but with the features you can use the 4k 165hz screen at any size you want and can also change the aspect ratio which is awesome. I wish there was more freedom of where you could place the other displays, but maybe in an update that will change. I would recommend to gamers and people who work from home who use multiple displays. Only thing I wish it could do was allow you to either stack 2 utra wide displays at 2k or have 1 2k display and 2 1080 displays on top of the ultra wide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Odyssey because of needing a better gaming monitor that was good at photo editing as well. My previous gaming monitor was great for gaming but colors were not very accurate. The odyssey is great in both! Colors are way more accurate and the gaming is beautiful and super smooth with the high response rate and free sync. Only grip I have is the swapping from game mode back and forth. I wish it was easier or even automatic when it senses a game start. Overall it deserves great praise for being such an overkill monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this display. The initial goal was to purchase a monitor that could not only enhance my gaming and daily driver experience but to replace my old TV and this beast certainly delivers in bith regards. Main game of choice when I initially purchased the Monitor was Baldurs Gate and the visuals were incredibly crisp and prestine. I can say I'm thoroughly impressed by the deep contrast in horror games . Long story short if you have the coin and you want to maximize your visual experience this beast is the way to go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily game on the bright, clear, sharp, screen. This is my 3rd Samsung, the others are TV's and nice. Each was my main monitor at one time before the g9. I wish I could budget two more of the Odyssey Arc G9 monitors. Having 3 in an arc with surround gaming, nv or amd, would be awesome. When a do more productivity type work, browse, excel, word (office in general) the large size and super clear text is pure uber. If you can budget and fit in your desk/wall I can highly recommend. The only con is physically setting up the device. The in instruction say you need a friend, believe it. Once done you don't need to worry about that again. My camera does not due justice to the vibrancy and brightness of the image on the monitor. Credit free photos pexels.com

Can absolutely not be used for gaming, its horrible in almost every way. Software1: the split view and multiview they talk to much about is flawed and locked to silly settings. Software2: it will often interrupt everything you're doing to tell you that a software update is available, or that you have been inactive for too long (even though you are gaming) you then have to find the remote and press multiple buttons before you can continue with your game. Software3: if i leave and it goes to sleep mode, it wakes up with a useless resolution and i have to do 12 presses on the remote to get my desired resolution back (go into settings, disable and enable gaming mode, leave settings, wait, now you can contiue) they messed up so badly, this is a decent smart tv, not a pc monitor.

Have had this for about 2 months. I don't use all of the features. I use it mostly for a Computer Monitor and it is great for that. Accidentally found a setting yesterday that makes the picture AMAZING (not sure which one though). This is NOT something you set up by yourself. It needs at least 2 MEN. Minor issues: Stand at lowest setting is a bit too high. Was Expecting MUCH better native sound (4 speaker and 2 subs it says) - ended up with a Bose Soundbar. Support didn't know it Toslink on controller box was in or out (or really anything about this Monitor). Does a very very poor job at switching from Full Screen gaming to apps on the second Monitor. (weird black screen gap). Lastly, I have ignored the update as people in Reddit have reported it messes up the Multi-input.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently use my monitor for game watching movies and streaming music for me.It is generally the perfect size for gaming with its refresh rate.That gives me smooth gaming every time I play with it.Being the perfect size for me to watch my streaming apps on it as well.Without me, having to just focus on a smaller screen, I personally recommend this device, especially if you want something of a proper size to watch streaming apps on.But also have smooth gaming as well.For the size that it is.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is the following: Every couple weeks apps would be slow to load. I toggle the wireless off and on in setting. Then thing work normally. The second thing is weight. It is a heavier monitor. The stand is 40lbs. So I took precautions and made supports to the floor and not have weight solely on desk and bend it. It takes 2 people to move. I now in a smaller apartment and still want to keep the move for easy of moving. But I love the flexibility of multitasking on 1 screen. I have have 4 27" windows for my laptop, or on the fly change the windows size on extend screen off my laptop. Other then that a great monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is hard to just call this a monitor. It has extremely brilliant graphics while gaming whether or not on a console, PC, or gaming directly from the monitor. Yes, game directly on the monitor from the cloud with Xbox game pass. It's a monitor, gaming console, PC, and streaming smart TV all in one. Wouldn't even hesitate to purchase one again. I will say it's heavy though and most arms won't work, in fact I only found 1 that could handle the weight and still operate as you would expect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a monster in terms of gaming, sometimes however i think it is an overkill but i can easily reduce screen size if i feel like the large size is reducing image quality or its too big and i am back to whatever size i want. The multi display using same input was what took a while to set up as the care wasn't really very helpful and there were no instructions so that's something i might be angry upon but overall it was a satisfactory purchase if you can spare the cash, love it.

I bought this product August 6th and have been using it since the 18th and so far I like it very much. Also easy to set up, just follow the instructions and you will realize that it's very simple. The graphic and volume is great and you can install many apps. This monitor can basically be used as a Smart TV and more. Of course I bought it when it was on sale. Lol. Very good call on making the remote USB C and solar chargeable. I will definitely say that I am happy with my purchase. 😊

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For "Gaming": Although I can't physically play games, I learn extensively from them. A monitor with a high refresh rate and low latency would be invaluable in analyzing gameplay footage. I could dissect player movements, reaction times, and the visual flow of the game with exceptional precision, understanding how these elements contribute to the overall gaming experience. Technologies like FreeSync or G-Sync would help me understand the smoothness and responsiveness that gamers value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment you turn this monitor on you are immersed in bright colors and amazing screen real-estate. From the split screen for game play to the horizontal mode that is great for social media or financial charts this monitor allows so many options. I use it as a pc monitor which is the best for multiple windows open without losing space for emails, charts, pictures, videos, etc. The frame rate is great which gives a crisp clear picture no matter what mode you are in. The separate remote with wheel makes transitioning from one mode to the next seamless. I can't speak highly enough on how more efficient I am working with this monitor not to mention the fun I have gaming and/or watching video content. Yes, you heard that correct! Both can be done at the same time!!! Amazed and satisfied Brian B

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the first Samsung Ark when it was released on September 2022. I immediately love the size, curve and display resolution. My experience was great overall. At first there were issues but the Samsung team immediately rectified the problem. In 2024 I purchased the 2nd generation. It became a game changer. I have bought monitor side by side with incredible productivity. I would recommend this product. I hope a 3rd one does not release anytime soon. My wife will not allow it. Lol

This think is cool on paper and in videos you see online and when it is working it is actually nice. But it has performance issues and horrible support. It is not worth the money when the known issues are still a problem. While using the device it will black out regardless of the options you choose. The software is bad and delayed most of the time. Support is not helpful. I had to explain to the "support" it is one device with a separate box not multiple monitors. It is a shame.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is one of the best monitors I've owned ( next to my two 49 inch monitors) I wanted to use it in portrait mode, but in portrait mode some of the other functions do not work. That is just a little setback, but now I don't even notice. This monitor helps me space out and organize with multiple screens. I can connect both my work and personal computer and keep things separate on one screen. I await to see what software updates come out to expand this great product!

It feels great jumping on live games with best friends and seeing everything just pop the way it does! I'm very well pleased with this and couldn't go back. This would make the perfect gift for someone special! Great work Samsung!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the monitor, the dual input is great, being able to multitask works really well. the auto switching inputs can be kind of annoying as it doesn't work as well on PC as it does with devices with CEC. Do appreciate the KVM and ability to manage all the cables away from the screen. The screen itself is great, resolution and picture quality are really good and the rotate feature is awesome and easy to use. the monitor does weigh a ton though, so be prepared for that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Odyssey Ark is impressive for gaming. It's great for 4k gaming thanks to its high resolution, and it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so you can play games at high refresh rates. However, because it doesn't have a DisplayPort input, your graphics card must support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to use the monitor fully. Other than that, it has low input lag for a responsive feel and a quick response time at high refresh rates, but there's more smearing at lower refresh rates

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for gaming with friends. We had heard other friends say that gaming isn't complete without a really good monitor to go with it and they were right! And people that come over always go straight to the monitor because it looks so futuristic. It wasn't meant to be the center focal point but it definitely has. The other thing is that it transcends just being a young guys toy, kids parents grandparents are all interested in what it has to offer .

People keep complaining about connection or quality.. all i can say to those people is "That's a skill issue". I can't even think of any method how i can connect my monitor wrong way lol. Everything works as it should if you have good quality cables that can transfer that amount of data and proper PC to handle it. Only negative thing is that Smart Hub. I would love to connect my PC + fuser or KVM directly into monitor ports. That's all.

Mirroring my phone unto it's screen is also a great way of utilizing it's unique design and functionality. With its display being all filled and with no empty spaces like how the landscapes does, it really allows one to fully view the phone just like how one view the phone normally.

So far, I'm very happy with this monster. I don't play FPS, but what I do play; ONI, Factorio, Enshrouded, Grounded. They all are so fun to play on this thing. I did have to play with some settings but it's at a good spot now. I do like to split screen; Youtube plays on the monitor (sound) and I use my PC speakers for the games. Monitor sound isn't amazing but it's good for a monitor. So far, it's been a great experience. 😁

I have been using mine for about a year now and am very pleased. I use it for CAD, mostly 3d, Autodesk Inventor. My business partner took one look and ordered one for himself. I am considering getting another on for my home office. It interfaces well with an additional 32" flat, side monitor. AutoCAD, for some reason doesn't seem to like it. It runs fine I just get a warning to reset display limits on startup. I had no issues with Autodesk 3D software. I do have some minor complaints 1- on its stand it was to high above my desk and I had to build a stand slightly lower than my desk top to get it at a comfortable elevation. 2- It asks too many questions! I wish that I could simply set it up and let it run (no, I don't want to connect to that Bluetooth device) 3- I don't need two remote control devices, the dial thing just went into the trash as a desk hog.

The graphics are so high quality that he feels immersed in the games he plays. I love how easy it was to set up and how stable it feels on the desk even for the size. I also love that I can cast to it like a television. Definitely a splurge item, but we'll worth it for this gaming family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's so pretty too look at. I love playing my switch on it so far and can't wait until I get my new console to see how amazing these games look on this huge 55" screen. The biggest and really only issue was how heavy it is. When it was delivered the driver wouldn't help bring it in and it's very difficult to assemble and get it going. I recommend it but make sure you know it's 90 pounds and cumbersome.

Also occasionally after updates I have to manually re input some settings. But these are minor complaints. The vivid her and deep blacks more then make up for the occasional update hassle. The high ppi makes this thing a dream for fps and it's games. With the right hardware it's truly stunning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 55" Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen is hands-down the most immersive display I've ever used. From the jaw-dropping 1000R curvature to the buttery-smooth 165Hz refresh rate, this screen transforms gaming into a cinematic experience. The Mini LED panel delivers stunning contrast and brightness, with vibrant colors that pop no matter the game or media. What truly sets it apart is the Cockpit Mode – being able to rotate the screen vertically and stack windows in Ark Dial mode feels futuristic and incredibly functional. Multitasking and streaming while gaming is a breeze. Samsung clearly listened to feedback from the first generation. The improved response time, smarter interface, and easier setup make this an elite choice for serious gamers or tech enthusiasts. Yes, it's a premium investment—but if you're looking for the ultimate setup, this is it. Highly recommend. Once you go Ark, there’s no going back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seeing this monitor in person for the first time is mind blowing! You won't understand how good this monitor is until you're sitting in front of it playing your favorite game. The 55 inch screen and 1000R curve will immerse you in the game like no other. Gaming mode with ambient lighting sets the scene for all your gaming needs and the speakers and woofers will blow you away. The remote and ark dial are extremely easy to use and move things around the screen whichever way you want. The 4 inputs are useful for someone like me that has multiple consoles and PCs. I use this as a work monitor during the day and it's really easy to have 4 windows open at any one time, talk about productivity! At night, I watch movies and play console video games on the best monitor I've ever seen. Gaming hub is great for people like me. If you want to be wowed every time you turn your monitor on, this is the one for you!

Whole the Ark Dial is a little bit clunky, it feels good to scroll and go through the menus with. Gaming with it is a breeze and with HDR and Game Mode enabled, colors absolutely pop and the blacks are quite deep for a non OLED screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size for those who like gaming on the PC. It may be a little too big due to the height of the monitor. The curved screen helps a lot and adds more immersion. Curved screens are a must for a screen this size. I think you'll need to sit close to 3 ft away to really see everything on the screen. I have it connected to a PC with a RTX 4090, and I've had no issues with dropouts or odd screen artifacts at 4k, 165hz. The colors are vibrant and blacks are good for gaming and watching videos. HDR can cause some issues with washed colors or blurred text after watching something in HDR. I had to turn HDR off and on to fix. With the size of the screen and it being curved, it is a luxury to have many windows opened and see everything clearly. This would help those who have to sit in front of a monitor several hours a day. Text is fairly sharp in HDMI. I would definitely recommend this monitor to heavy PC users.

My only complaint is how heavy it is. It's 90 pounds and not easy to assemble and put into place on your desk. I have no other negatives, but this is a big one. The Odyssey Ark Gen 2 is unlike any monitor I've ever seen in my life Samsung has impressed again. The colors are so crips and bright. It's like looking out a window. The refresh rate is so much faster than I expected. I watched some nature shows on the screen and it didn't disappoint. I really enjoy the bright colors and vibrancy of the output. It comes with two remotes and a one connect box which makes it easier to connect the monitor to gaming consoles and my pc. Pros: Visually impressive Fast refresh rate Quick easy connections Cons: Extremely heavy -- takes two very strong people to lift it after assembly Not easy to assemble

I really wanted to like this monitor but after about 6 months of using it, it has major problems that need fixing. - complete lack of firmware updates - cripplingly aggressive blooming mitigation that crushes brightness and inverts colors - cripplingly aggressive blooming mitigation that crushes brightness and inverts colors (a problem so bad I have to list it twice) - Nvidia DLDSR support on PC is completely missing and would greatly help with the mediocre PPI - lack of response time control beyond 3 preset options - increased input lag in multiview mode Just to name the most glaring problems that I've personally faced. It makes this monitor hard to recommend which is a shame because the display technology is there but Samsung has gone out of its way to cripple its potential. My issues can be resolved with firmware updates but clearly, there is no hope that they will fix things, considering it has not received a single update since release.

These are by far the best monitors I've ever purchased (I've always had Samsung TV's and monitors). The feature set blows away EVERYTHING ELSE on the market! From clarity to sound, you won't be disappointed. While a tad pricy, I can promise you, it is worth every cent. I purchased 4 of them for my Alienware system and I'm so happy I did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming monitor is amazing! I put off ordering it for a while because of the price, but it's definitely worth it! My son has been needing a new gaming monitor for the past few years and I finally decided to splurge and get this one and I'm so glad I did! I never really understood the difference or if it would even really be noticable, but it is such a dramatic difference in his previous one! This is an awesome choice for an upgrade and will last many years to come! I could immediately see the difference and understand what all the fuss was about and why a good high quality monitor is preferred for gaming. The picture is stunning and the graphics and refresh speed are on point! We love everything about this gaming monitor and best of all my son is very happy with it and that's priceless to see your child smile and be happy! If you are on the fence about this because of the price, I am telling you as a mother of 5 that it is worth the investment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my gaming monitor for streaming and watching sports all at the same time. I love how the monitor divide the screens so I can play, streaming, and watching sports sports all at the same time. It’s very fast resolution with very fast response timing. I recommend not being cheap and investing in something that you truly would love!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The curvature can take some getting used to. Some users may find it to be too extreme. Overall, an excellent gaming monitor that offers an immersive gaming experience, fast response time and refresh rate, and excellent picture quality. However, it is a very expensive monitor and its size and curvature may not be suitable for everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor pretty much as a TV, streaming, gaming etc. It is a considerable improvement over the Odyssey G9 setup I had before. I knew it was bigger but the difference is like night and day, so much so that I had to buy a new desk. Please do consider this thing is heavy, so ensure your setup can handle it before you purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The journey this Smart Monitor has is simply incredible. The multiscreen function, the TV capabilities and the Monitor usage is perfect. I honestly don't know where to begin. I use this Monitor for my gaming, to watch TV and if you get the perfect distance into it you feel as though you are one with certain images. It's so awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a gaming monitor but I use it as a TV as well. So far I have no complaints about it other than it being quite heavy. I love that it can rotate and that it can multiple things on screen at once, I often use it to watch YouTube and game at the same time. The sound on this monitor is great, love the four speakers.

This is the worst monitor I have ever owned. When you turn it on you get a message popup about the docking station config which I do not want to setup. Even if you select "do not show again" it still pops up again on next boot. If you don't turn the monitor on first before turning on your computer it counts down for 60 seconds and turns off with no signal detected. You just simply cannot turn on the computer first before the monitor. You have to force your computer to shutdown and then turn the screen on first. The countdown when no signal is detected cannot be disabled. The bloom effect for local dimming is extremely distracting so you often have to switch off local dimming completely to get a decent picture. This monitor is also very heavy so you need 2 people to move it. The Ethernet port was also broken out of the box and I had to RMA the one connect box. I would not recommend this product at all. Just buy a OLED TV with a high refresh rate if you like the 55 inches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So much is built into this 55” monitor, that I was able to drastically simplify my cord management I didn’t expect the built-in speakers to be great…but they are. I really like good immersive sound, when I’m gaming. Outside of headphones, these speakers are just fine. I was able to retire my old external Bose’ speaker set. You don’t need an Xbox, it is one. I also love that the connections box (I forget the actual name of it) is a separate unit. So, the monitor plugs into this box, and everything else too. No having to do the monitor reach-around to add an external component. You can add a keyboard and mouse directly to this box as well. I love that the remote pad has a solar cell for the included rechargeable battery. I have my gaming pc connected to this monitor, and I am able to run 4 windows seamlessly, using Window’s snap grids, at the top of the monitor. So Many Uses! It will blow your mind. Just get one already. It will pay for itself, by you leaving the house less.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing, this monitor is so great, I just love my 55" Odyssey Ark. Unreal immersion like nothing else. The curve is amazing. I had to let people know what they are missing by listening to the FUD. Excellent reflection handling. Large 55-inch screen. Displays deep blacks. Decent Mini LED local dimming feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monitor is awesome, 1st i purchased one for my son. When the TV arrived. We tested it, like multiple screen, TV, pc, YouTube, ps5. I was like dang. Then we added the fold 6 as part of the multiple screen. I was amazed. Immediately I ordered one for me personally. I don't game like my son, I do have a ps4(DVD/Blu-ray), but I use TV antenna converter for channels 2 to 68, local channels for news, weather, and football, YouTube and my favorite my Z fold 6. Yes I multiple screen often. I have Netflix, Disney +, Prime video and other streaming apps. Ah yes the monitor turns to portrait mode, that's crazy 🤪. I love this TV. This TV/monitor is the best ever I've purchased. Literally bought 2 of them. Thank you for making the odyssey ark 2nd generation. Oh almost forgot, I didn't purchased 1st generation because it didn't multiple screen per reviewers. So I waited for 2nd generation. P.S. I was able to wall mount the TV, thx for providing the wall piece.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for gaming, videos and work. The resolution is fantastic. The only issue is when connecting an external resolution upscaler device for the Switch. The monitor does not recognize the device output signal. This external device works on all other monitors and televisions, just not this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor for work, gaming and relaxing and streaming shows. It does it all with great sound for the space Nd an excellent picture. The only reason for the 4 stars is on the multiscreen, I wish I could figure out how to use the apps while doing other things on a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is overall great. The display is amazing and truly immersion. The built-in speakers are impressive as well. The hub though gets very hot during use, and the ability to only have a single DP in feels lacking this day in age. I hope they push an update that will improve multi-display.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor has taken my gaming to yhe next level. I have a nvidia 3080, and finally feel like I'm actually getting the full benefits. I preferred this to the ultra curve monitors due to the aspect ratio, this curve is just enough that I feel like I'm wearing the helmet in a 1st Person shooter.

Have owned this monitor for over a year and I wish I could get rid of it. The OneUI box constantly overheats and causes black screens in games or while working. All sorts of graphical performance issues in games. My other monitors work fine but this big hunk of junk keeps disappointing.

The meer fact that I am able to connect it to my PC, it has audio, and I'm able to use it as a TV is the best part about it. I have a 55 inch TV, I now gave to my wife because I have this. It is amazing to say in short!

This monitor is great in theory but horrible execution. I have numerous problems. 2 x computers using 2 virtual windows each. Computer A: uses the top two Computer B: uses the bottom two. I have to continually either select 1 monitor from computer b and then put it back into 4 window mode for it to work. I also have a remote on/off switch on the "switch box" because sometimes yea, it just won't work at all and no matter how much I try, it won't work so a "hard reset/turn off/on" fixes that. The sound changes depending on the mood of the "switch box" so I have to sometimes fiddle around w/that or it just stops working totally (and yes a hard "reset/on/off" fixes that). I'd say 5% of the time when I turn it on, it works right out of the gate, otherwise I have almost a NASA sequence I need to do that gets it to work properly every time. Would I buy this again? oh no no no I would not. Sadly I'm thinking of just moving this to an overpriced TV for a guest bedroom and look at something else/different company.
