Samsung has previously tested the limits of monitors with displays like the Odyssey Neo G9, but now the company is pushing boundaries even further with the absolutely gigantic 55-inch Odyssey Ark and its wild “flexible” display.
The Ark is a next-gen gaming monitor with a 16:9 display that can be used either horizontally or vertically. The display’s “multi-view” feature uses an adaptable screen size for watching movies, playing games, or whatever else you need to do.
Samsung’s announcement is light on specs, so we’re still a little unclear as to whether the curved monitor is actually flexible or whether the display is simply based on a flexible panel that helps support what looks to be an encompassing 1000R curved design.
The Ark clearly blurs the lines between gaming monitor size and basically a full-on TV, but it does have some neat gaming-specific features. A height-adjustable stand pivots into a vertical orientation for a “cockpit-style” gaming experience in both landscape and portrait modes. The monitor also comes with a wireless controller that sports a dedicated wheel for adjusting the monitor’s brightness and image quality or navigating the Ark’s on-screen interface.
The Ark isn’t expected to go on sale until the second half of 2022, so it may be awhile before we get any information about the Ark’s final specs and price—though you can almost guarantee it will be wildly expensive.
