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.

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.
