Samsung Odyssey Ark Monitor Review

Our Samsung Odyssey Ark review looks at color accuracy, picture quality, and gaming performance - comparing results against other market leaders.

The Samsung Ark is an incredibly cool, futuristic looking monitor that would increase the aesthetic prowess of almost any gaming setup. It’s wide swooping 1000R curve pairs nicely with the huge 55-inch display to create a starship vibe that is unlike anything on the market today.

The Ark also performs to a pretty high level as well. It offers a decent sRGB preset right out of the box for color accurate work, alongside decent fluidity when playing both single-player and more competitive titles.

Having said that, we can’t ignore the sheer size (and price) of this behemoth monitor. At 55-inches, it is simply too big for most people’s living space. Additionally, with a price tag that currently sits at around £2,500 ($3,500), it will far exceed most peoples budgets.

Summary

After finishing College, Charlie pursued his joy of PC gaming by building several PCs for his favourite game, Counter-Strike. To this day, Charlie continues to enjoy gaming and PC building inside and outside of the office.

Experience

Charlie started his career with BGFG after a long 5-year stint traveling Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. While he could have pursued a further career in the building trade, he decided to delve into the world of PC gaming and journalism. Being a keen gamer and PC builder, it was easy to transition between the two industries. After showcasing a real joy for both writing and PC building, he was moved into a more senior position, which he continues to hold to this day.
