Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen specs

The Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen, like its predecessor, has a 55′′ 4K (3,840 x 2,160) mini-LED display with a 1000R curvature. The UL Glare Free matte surface on the VA panel lessens bothersome reflections. The display has a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz, an aspect ratio of 16:09, a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, and a maximum brightness of 600 nits.

The monitor’s innovative Multi-View mode divides the 55-inch panel into four halves, allowing display input from up to four sources at once. Additionally, it contains a KVM switch that aids in controlling the four input devices listed above.

It features compatibility for FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR, Game Mode, and Eye Saver Mode and is powered by the Neural Quantum Processor Ultra. It has a 60W 2.2.2 channel speaker system with Dolby Atmos, Sound Dome Technology, and Adaptive Sound for superb music quality. Tizen is the operating system, and it includes Microsoft 365 integration, TV Plus, Multi-Device Experience, and SmartThings Hub. Voice assistants incorporated into devices, such as Bixby and Alexa, make controlling your monitor simple.

Its I/O ports include Display Port Version 1.4, HDMI, USB ports, Ethernet, Wireless Display, and HDCP Version 2.2. Its connectivity options include Bluetooth v5.2 and Wi-Fi 5.
