I had to do a little exploring to discover the Samsung booth at PAX West in Seattle. But when I did, there was really only one product to see, Samsung's HUGE Odyssey Ark 55" curved monitor. It's kind of nutty and entrancing at the same time.

Now understand you aren't going to get a full 240hz like you do with their Galaxy g9 ultra-wide monitors. However coming in at 165hz, Samsung's monitor doesn't seem to know the word inferior. As I watched a man playing a racing game on it, the picture was stunningly beautiful. The curved span of 55" is made to accommodate our natural optical perspective, giving you the sense you're surrounded.

Sooo here are some of the details:

-The monitor comes in at a hefty 80lbs with stand (he chunky)

-In horizontal mode it can display up to 5 screens, and then when rotated vertically, can display up to 3 screens.

-It comes with a dial and remote to adjust all it's settings (kind of a cool feature which gives it a very upper echelon feel)

Samsung's Ark 55" curved monitor is available now for pre-orders, and will begin shipping September 12th, 2022 for $3499.99. If you do pre-order now, you will receive a $200 bonus towards future purchases. You can pre-order on Samsung's website, Amazon, or Best Buy.

Overall I'm adding this to my wish list. Please and thank you 😜
