Making immersion stronger than ever before
Lifelike images on the 55-inch screen deliver visuals that heighten the senses, creating a personal gaming theatre.
This is complemented by 1000R curvature, wrapping around the field of vision for maximum immersion.
“We are excited to introduce these upgrades to the Odyssey Ark, elevating the gaming experience. Boasting enhanced features like 4K Picture Quality, a Matte Display, Multi-View, and Quantum Matrix Technology, the 55” Odyssey Ark ensures heightened connectivity and compatibility. This signifies Samsung’s commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of the gaming community, offering innovative design, top-tier performance, and personalised options to unlock users’ optimum gaming potential,” said Jacus Long, Director and Head of Display at Samsung Electronics.
The Multi View feature offers advanced connectivity and a dynamic multiscreen experience.
Users can now split the screen into four windows (three in Cockpit mode).
It also enables users to peruse a variety of content, playing multiple games at once, or viewing a handful of documents, all through one screen.
The new rendition also introduces robust support for external devices, incorporating a DP (DisplayPort) 1.4 into the Odyssey Ark’s three HDMI ports.
This addition not only enhances compatibility but also seamlessly integrates with the KVM Switch, providing users with a smooth and efficient multitasking experience across multiple devices.
The Flex Move Screen allows users to change the screen size from 55 to 27 inches, adjusting the position of the games in any direction and allowing gamers to modify the ratio from 16:9 to 21:9 or 32:9.
This can be controlled by the Ark Dial, an exclusive controller offering a thrilling opportunity to unlock new possibilities through the world of gaming.
A tailored gaming environment
For a cinema-quality gaming setup, the Odyssey Ark utilises Samsung’s Matte Display and Sound Dome Technology.
The Matte Display provides anti-glare protection, reducing glare by absorbing light, helping users minimise distractions and maintain focus.
Its Sound Dome technology blends an AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos to help enhance the sound experience with four speakers at each corner, and two central woofers, resulting in realistic and rich sound which totals to 60 watts.
To give gamers a competitive edge when speeding through fast environments, the 165Hz refresh rate on the Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen brings together a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution featuring 1ms response time (GtG) with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, helping to maximise on-screen accuracy.
