Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Odyssey Ark's large screen size, impressive picture quality, and immersive curved display, highlighting its excellent sound quality and high refresh rate for smooth gaming. However, some users point to limitations in HDMI connectivity, the monitor's substantial weight, and challenges with the stand's design and functionality as drawbacks. The multi-view feature also received mixed reviews, with some finding it less useful than expected.

    I was wowed by it's large stature... but found the tech driving it is bad. I didn't even open it and returned it within 24 hours. Cons: No displayport (hdmi only) No multi-source at once The G9 Odyssey has both of the above, and is precious gen flagship. Not sure what Samsung was thinking here... but i'll pass.

      Thank you for your purchase and review of the Odyssey Ark Gaming Monitor! We are sorry to hear about the dissatisfaction you have related to using multiple HDMI ports simultaneously.

      The Ark’s One connect box is designed with four (4) HDMI 2.1 ports to give ultimate connectivity to devices with HDMI outputs which include, but are not limited to, PCs and Macs, Gaming Consoles, Media Players and Streaming Sticks, cable or Satellite boxes, legacy DVD Players and more. While up to 4 inputs can be connected simultaneously for cable management, only 1 HDMI Input can be displayed on the Ark display at a time, whether in full-screen or in Multi View mode.
      We’ve received feedback that it would be desirable to be able to use multiple HDMI inputs simultaneously, and we’re exploring this as a future feature on this or other Odyssey Gaming Monitors.

      Your overall feedback is important to us and we will document your concerns.

      If there is anything else we can do to assist you and improve your product experience, please contact Samsung Customer Support via: 1-800-SAMSUNG, available 8AM - 12AM EST (Mon-Fri) / 9AM - 11PM EST (Sat-Sun)

    Awesome TV/Monitor

    I have owned this Gaming Tv/Monitor for over 3 months now. I have enjoyed many games and movies on this tv/monitor. The only two downsides I have is that it's heavy (because of the stand) and second the 55 degree is only for a front viewing.

    This monitor or smart tv or ultimate game monitor multitasker is ridiculous. 55” inches curved. If you can afford to combine with otherA it’s even better to multitask. No regrets. Well worth the cost but am happy I got it on sale.

    Nothing I have purchased before has been as great as the Ark has been. Great picture and quality. Extremely heavy but after setting it up, it is just worth. Really reccommend it if you snag it at the discounted price.

    Epic Monitor If You Have The Space

    This is an awesome monitor. Lots of reviews hating on it in the media but it’s immersive, has great color, easy on the eyes and big enough to do a lot more all in one screen. Made for a full pc. Don’t use an underpowered machine. Runs well only in 4k so ensure you can handle that spec. Controls are good. Os is solid. I do wish there was a way to change the os a bit but there has already been some updates to it. Gaming is a blast. Working is also great but if you keep a camera on the top of your screen you will find its too high up. Plan ahead.

    Great Screen - Poor Execution

    Aside from UI issues that could possibly be from getting a lemon (Extremely slow/lagging controls) the screen is great, 4k uhd content looks great. Cockpit mode is very cool, but the plastic cover on the back is subpar, and falls off super easy.

    Amazingly impressive monitor. It's heavy, and big, you're going to need space. Extremely bright display, beautiful colors. The rotating is a gimmick, please don't rotate it. Great monitor if you game and productivity.

    Love it. The ability to put slit screens with streaming media and youe workstation is nice. I do wish that the monitor allowed for more customizations for the screen layout, as well as supporting more than ome computer input. With a monitor like this, it would be nice if it also came with a built in AV Switch.

    This is the smart monitor that I've been waiting for. The OS from Samsung is easy and intuitive. The product is HEAVY, but the results are amazing. Using it for work, spreadsheets are amazing, and with Teams calls, i get access to my work and the shared information in easy to see resolution. Built in speakers are a great addition, and the remotes are perfect. Changing input sources is easy, fast, and why i bought this in the first place. Now they need to fix the Picture in Picture functionality, so i can use the monitor to feed hdmi1 and hdmi2. Or have hdmi1 and youtube, etc. Haven't used the vertical view much. But, enjoying it. 2 months in.

    Unfortunately the first generation was a huge beta test. Having purchased this monitor on day 1, I am very displeased that a second generation was released $1500 less and fixed the main issue with the monitor… it only used one input at a time. The second generation has fixed this allowing you to use all four inputs at once. Again I purchased this day one, for $4500 and feel completely taken advantage of as this display cannot even upgrade to the new box that Samsung has for the gen 2. The box seems to be the only difference between the two and it is unavailable for purchase or upgrade from the gen 1

    Awful concept monitor

    As an avid gamer, and a heavy PC and Mac user for the last 20+ years (I am also a tech executive) I can see without a doubt this is the worst PC monitor I’ve ever owned. Save for the fact that Samsung advertises four viewable screens, but you can only use one HDMI that only begins to describe the problems with this monitor. The monitor randomly stops recognizing my PC and I have to hit the middle button on the dial to get it to reconnect. There are periods when I turn off my computer and turn it back on 4 to 5 times before Samsung will even acknowledge that an HDMI input is being used. I tested this on two different gaming PCs l, my Mac and a Windows-based laptop at my house with the same results over the period of four weeks. HDR regardless of the settings I choose also turns off for no reason, even in HDR optimized games, causing a complete loss of picture quality.
