Strong points
- Innovative and elegant design, especially for a product marketed gaming
- Very bright, ideal for lighted rooms
- Image quality rendered in 4K, with deep blacks
- A very good integrated sound system for a PC screen
- The promise of the hybrid screen with its smart TV functions is generally well kept
- The Ark Dial remote control is very successful
Weak points
- Connectors adapted to a 4K TV, less to a PC (absence of Display Port)
- Currently unable to display 2 HDMI sources at the same time
- The large format is not optimal for long-term use at less than one meter
- High introductory price, around 3000€ (the price does not influence the final grade)
In terms of pure specs, the Samsung Odyssey Ark is a very good monitor. Ultra-bright Mini-LED matte panel that retains good contrast, pretty colors thanks to the famous Quantum Dots, 4K resolution, 1 ms response time, 165 Hz panel, very satisfying sound… But the Samsung Odyssey Ark is not just a simple monitor, it is a kind of hybrid, certainly very innovative, but imperfect. The format requires a lot of hindsight, the absence of Display Port is noticeable and it is quite frustrating not to be able to display 2 HDMI sources at the same time. These defects do not affect the excellent quality of the slab. If your budget allows it, you can be sure that such a behemoth will impress your guests.
