There are great monitors, and then there’s the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd gen. Even though it’s only been a few months since this ginormous mini-LED monitor was released, we’re already seeing a jaw-dropping 40 percent discount, its biggest deal so far. Instead of spending $2999.99 on it, you can get it for just $1799.99. That’s still a good chunk of change, but not when you consider everything this model has to offer.
The Odyssey Ark is just one of the insane deals going on as part of Samsung’s huge “Discover Samsung Sale” this week, which has staggering discounts on highly rated Samsung devices like Galaxy Book4 laptops and Galaxy laptops, as well as SSDs, TVs, and more.
The Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd gen is a massive 55-inch behemoth with a 1000R curved display. Whether you’re playing some World of Warcraft with your guildies or shooting up zombies, you’ll be sucked right into that world thanks to the stunning 4K visuals. They’re made even more luscious thanks to the inclusion of quantum mini-LED backlighting, an OLED alternative, and the HDR10+ support that technology unlocks.
Gamers will also appreciate the blistering 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, which translate into buttery smooth visuals. Plus, the AMD FreeSync Premium Pro promises tear-free and stutter-free gameplay.
Of course, the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd gen isn’t just for gaming. You can connect up to four different devices at the same time, switching between them as needed. Frankly, that’s ideal for all those gaming sessions you squeeze in between work meetings (it’s not just me who does that, right?). Thanks to the Multi View feature, you can keep an eye on your work chat while playing.
One super cool thing is that the Ark has a built-in KVM switch, which enables you to control multiple PCs with a single mouse and keyboard, efficiently simplifying your workflow. Simply brilliant.
The Samsung Odyssey Ark Gen 2 has so much to offer. While we admit it’s a pricey monitor, it’s a worthwhile purchase, especially now that it’s $1200 off. The finest things in life are never cheap, but one of the finest monitors ever unveiled can be yours for a whole lot cheaper than usual today.
