    This thiing is awesome. Complete multiple task while working, watching and creating. I play music and invest all while keeping my focus on one monitor. Depending on my needs I can have 4 different inputs running at once, or just 1. It even allows me to customize the size of the screen if 55” is too much on the eyes. Give it a try…you won’t be disappointed!!

    This is a fantastic monitor, but it’s for a niche crowd. I say that as it’s screen is great but not as sharp and crisp as an OLED one. However, for me it’s ideal. I wanted a monitor that could double as my TV, have built-in speakers, and it’s built-in streaming features. I have a small office so being able to replace my TV, existing monitor, desktop speakers, and gain streaming features all in one unit is GREAT!
    I say it’s a niche product because if you’re looking for a fast response, sharp picture, G-Sync compatibility, this isn’t the monitor for you. However, if you want a decent monitor that combines several functions into one unit it can’t be beat.
    There are other issues to consider as well. The weight of the monitor and it’s stand is just under 100lbs so if you want to move it, you’ll probably need help. It will pivot to Portrait Mode which is nice for some applications, but I was disappointed that in landscape mode you can only tilt it forward and back but not left or right.
    Bottom line if you’re looking for an All-In-One device and are prepared for some of the limitations of one, this is the way to go!

    There is a reason this monitor is always on sale for $1,000 off of its $3,000 price tag despite this model being less than a year old since release: It is awful quality. For the price of this thing, you would think it would last longer than 5 months but that is not true. It’s refresh rate is all over the place, had 3 dead pixels from the moment it was unboxed, software is awful, it gets hardly any firmware updates or support from Samsung, and it fails in reliability just like the rest of the Odyssey lineup. This thing is incredibly heavy and expensive so having to take it down to return it was a huge pain and time consuming. Avoid this monitor like the plague because you will inevitably run into issues sooner or later because Samsung’s quality the last few years is a dumpster fire. Also, avoid buying from Best Buy because even when you do return/exchange even with Total Protection, they force you to either exchange it for the same thing or something else with them and you will only get store credit for the balance of the return/exchange regardless of paying cash/debit.

    great for standing and using veritical orientation, but there’s little you can do to cope with the overall height when attempting to use landscape as you just have to pan your head, neck and eyes. ultimately i went back to my g9 49″ where it’s the same width, but only one row high. the speakers in thsi thing are awesome for a desk, it really sounds like there are baby subwoofers back there and the atmos totally works, but it’s no replacement for a soundbar

    This 2nd version of the ARK has fixed the 2 major issues from the 1st version, it now includes a display port and allows up to 4 external simultaneous connections for screens within the display. The display blacks look great, it’s bright and up to 165hz in game mode. Also the display didn’t have any bad pixels or issues. This is expensive but worth the money.

    This things a beast. I got it because of multiple use as i had two separate desks and decided to consolidate into a big desk and decided to get a new monitor as well. Its huge, fast, but also filled with some of Samsung notorious junkware albiet not as bad as they once were. It does have to my surprise nvidia GeForce built in, amazons cloud and a couple other ones ive never heard of. Ive never played any of these services since im a PC gamer but perhaps I’ll try that out at some point. I guess this is supposed to be an upgrade of last gen mainly for software. Also, the sound is fantastic and having it as a TV is sorta like woe this thing is truly milti capable and wasn’t really expecting that for this much money ($1999). Overall od you’re looking to consolidate into an all in one setup I’d recommend it. Again the reason for the 4 is i hope they continue to upgrade the firmware rather than leaving the generations behind with multiple iterations of the same product.

    Great monitor so far! The size really is something to get used to. The monitor works within the specs given, however a few hiccups with software. Such as “ambient mode” has 30+ options but only 10 or so work. Another is when I try to turn off a device and pick up another, the monitor will turn off with the device and not turn on with the next if done right away. A feature it doesn’t have that I’d love to see is, since it has four speakers in each corner, having audio come out of each for the individual view as an option would be great. Also a welcome surprise is I was checking to find if I can wall mount it and still rotate it, and the supplied wall mount spins. But overall the monitor is great and I’m just nit picking.

    To start my review I got this again the 57 inch they sell as well and ended up refunding the 57 inch.
    For those of you in the same boat that was thinking about getting both and having a hard time picking this review is for you.
    The 57 inch was great. “8k” so it looked amazing. (My 4090 was dying lol) room to finally get rid of my 2 other screens and gaming was weird in 32:9.
    The reason I returned it for this amazing screen is the fact that they are the same price and this is just 2 of the 57 inch stacked on top of each other. Plus if you really miss 32:9 or 21:9 for gaming or for work. This screen also has modes to change to them both. I never seen that before. I used it for dark souls and riding games and it feels the same. You do get a black bar on the bottom or top during this but thats not that bad because of how black this screen gets.
    On top of all that this screen also has speakers that are pretty good unless you use something crazy.
    The screen is uglier then the 57 inch because 4k stretched out over 55 inches gets a bit pixely but in games you cant tell as much vs random videos.
    So my case is only get the 57 inch if you work or code alott. The 55 inch is just better.
    Now my normal review. If you older or have bad eyes this thing will help alot. I played the finials and other fps games and I can see everything better plus 165 hz and 1 ms has made it so I’m scoring in the top 2-3 instead of last xD.
    Movies/youtube is crazy. I’ve done nothing but game at 4k and watch everything because this thing makes everything pop.
    Colors are ok. Not great tbh but after messing with the settings I managed to make it look great. 57 inch was better so if you edit pictures or videos and need good colors might need to pick that.
    Sound was ok. It beat my cheap setup I got for 20 dollars but it does the job and you’ll use a headset most of the time anyways. But its close to 360 sound so you can hear in direction so movies are great.
    Remote/software was snappy but its slow to get through all the menus and options. Plus if you want to go multiplayer and use the 4 screens feature you lose 32:9 and also huge negative you haveee to connect your wifi…. makes no sense. I refuse to connect this screen to the internet because its just a monitor for me nothing more. I’m afraid they are going to update it and slow it down or remove features like Samsung always does so I can tell you anything wifi related.
    The hub is amazing. A lot of people have bad things to say but clearly they havent tried to reach around a screen before to plug a cable in. That hub saved me so much time. 57 inch was the worst. Took me 23 minutes to plug in a usb and hdmi…
    Overall if this thing is on sale and you have money to burn pick this up. I think its worth 1500-2000$ 16:9 is just better for everything but work and with this size even work might be a bit better.
    5/5 recommended
