Thanks for the video. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the witty banter throughout. Other reviews of the 55 inch Samsung Odyssey Ark come off as hateful out the gate, or whiny because they have to swivel their head to see that 55 inch real estate. You actually have a genuine love for it, and a positive opinion at that... so thanks for the review.
Thank you! We really appreciate the support! 😁😁
Only vid I seen putting this thing together man. Good shit
I also subbed because of the shirt..
Rarely you stumble onto a UA-cam gold channel, that happened today, 😂
Thanks
I’ve had mine a few months and I love it. Destiny has been awesome on this thing! Escape with the sync lighting
I've been playing Starfield on this some. And wow! That's really all I can say. Love this thing
Hello brother, I’m happy for you when I saw your 55-inch monitor. Congratulations.
Love the video, not many people are as silly as I am when being super playful. Great job.
No point in living life in a boring fashion. I'm with ya on that one! Thanks for watching!
Very nice review! They announced the Ark 2 which is probably why this has been going on sale.
Yeah, maybe it's time I try the Ark 2...just sayin!
You mean 2nd Gen?
Just bought the 2nd gen one. Absolutely love it.
These things are truly a work of art. I love it! and 2nd gen...I'm jealous.
I like this guy! Good review man!! Keep it coming
Huge thanks for this great review. Could I ask how is text on this monitor ie in word, mac mail etc considering the low ppi due to massive display and it only being 4k. I would have thought a screen this big would be unreal in 8k + oled.
tune in again❤️🔥
I gotta say, I am excited. I did purchase through samsung, and I will be picking mine up this friday! I also have to say, this has been one of the most informative videos on the ark. Thank you for the time you put into doing this!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the support. Make sure you watch our latest video because we're giving away $500. Share with your peeps. Again, I really appreciate your message. This Friday is exciting...new screen just for the long weekend! Awesome timing!
What is your experience so far? In ready to pull the trigger but it's getting mixed reviews 😢
Did you manage to pick it up ? Share you experience?
@@cwilsonsr7263 I am enjoying this screen. I could easily complain about only being able to have one HDMI active at any given point but if you go into this aware of that it's not a game ender. Performance and appearance are just fine. Is it the absolute best monitor out there? No...but for most gaming and viewing that people are doing this thing is more than capable.
it's really an amazing monitor, recently updated gen2, i just pay the deposit, probably receive it in Nov.
I've been fighting for my life to NOT purchase this thing for $2000. I've held out so far. But the idea of using it as a TV and monitor combo instead of purchasing a TV is having me hold onto the dream
I will say that for some gaming I can't go full screen. Lol. But for others it's beyond incredible. As far as a TV goes it's a fantastic device. I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying this
@@tech-Nic would it be more reasonable to say that using it as a primary TV/Netflix device (full screen) with an occasional smaller PC browser/gaming on the side is the better arrangement? I too don't see a lot of games that I'll be able to play at 55" for long durations but using a 24" picture and Picture monitor for Internet browsing with a larger video playing in the background is what's drawing my desire to buy it. Justification of buying a 2k TV if I don't get much gaming use out of it is freaking me out tbh
I think it's fair to say it's multimedia first with this one. Gaming comes in as a secondary offering. Now some gaming experiences are amazing on this thing (AOE for example). I also have found some success at turning the screen vertical and gaming that way with the screen split into thirds. It essentially let's me watch youtube/netflix on the same screen while I game. I don't use the PIP much but I can see it being a big draw for some people for sure. I do think you're right in stating this is probably a statement piece and television and secondarily for gaming. But it is awesome!!!
@@tech-Nic thanks for the replies! You've earned my sub, hoping for some lessons learned, and/or some "tips and tricks" after you get a couple months with the monitor under your belt!
I appreciate the sub! Make sure to look at our latest video and share it because we're giving away $500
Need the update on how it's treated you thus far!!
Would the Arc be better purchase to get compare to the S95c 55 for the same price? Primary use pc gaming. Great video - sub earned…………. Yo give this man more SUBS!
Just scored one myself last weekend, Gen 1 model like yours but I only paid $475 cash and a $531 newegg gift card for it, new in box even. All in the monitor is 89.8LBS. the mount is solid wood and the bottom mount plate is solid steel.
I need this.
It looks like they just launced the new version on the 23rd of aug? G97NC which can support multiple inputs now if I'm reading it correctly
Samsung Odyssey Ark 2023 just got announced a few months ago. It basically fixes the main complaint with PiP have the ability now to use four different sources.
Got mine aweek ago and I'm not impressed on the fact that I am not able to have netflix app running in split screen while the PC is on the other side in split screen mode .. though they give you the option to run samsung TV app🤔 confused 😕
I want a minitor for my gaming pc xbox and ps5. Maybe i buy this or the gigabyte aorus fo48
I purchased this monitor for $1400 US with white glove service from Samsung. I used all my Samsung Points and employee offers program. The one thing I am disappointed in, is the lack of a Display port. Which I heard they are incorperating into their next generation. Just be aware that a high end HDMI 2.1 cable is needed to push the 4K gaming, to it's full potential.
You got a great deal on this thing!!! Great point about the DP.
Hi. Enjoyed the show. I'm interested in this for work. Lots of windows open. Your son said he'd expected to love it for his spreadsheets. So the Q is... Did he? Does it work for multiple spreadsheets and other work windows or do you need to make the text so big that you don't gain the real estate you think you should get?
This thing is fantastic! It's essentially three monitors in one as far as size goes. Can be very productive with multiple things open at once. I am ashamed at how much I've enjoyed this thing.
😂😂😂 you have me rolling
What is the resolution when you split the screen to 4? Are all 4 inputs in 4k resolution?
Can it do 4 screens keep saying only 3 which is tad odd no?
Is this the 2nd Gen that just got released?
2023 2nd gen version can have multiple external inputs.
its seems like a one man job to set it up(hopefully cos mine is coming tomorrow and i dont have anyone :~()
and I spent exactly the same price 2000dollors. My big worry is if my desk can hold this monster. It is 40kg heavy, its like a skinny woman standing on the desk. Hope my beautiful desk wont collapse
oh btw this monitor doesn't have g-sycn, so not friendly with N card.
Does the low ppi really ruin gaming with a ps5? I want to be able to use for video editing and gaming. I currently purchased the lg45 oled ultra gear and the quality for gaming is meh
Quality is meh? You must be sitting too close. That monitor is incredible for gaming!!
Can you reuse the box after cutting those plastic straps? I'm moving soon..but I need to use the monitor for work now.. but when I move would like to reuse the box to move the monitor..
Yes, if you keep the box in good shape you could use it to move this unit later. The styrofoam packing coupled with the box would make the best option for moving this monitor.
@@tech-Nic but how would you secure the bottom? The top of my box is just taped.. Not sure if that can hold the weight on both sides taped..
@@keno6391 you'll want to use a decent amount of packing tape to hold the box seams together. I would still have my hands with one under the box and the other hand in the handle. Make sure you're moving this with no fewer than two people. It's awkwardly shaped and balanced when moving.
That's a huge bish! 😂 Nice freaking monitor bro!
Thanks! This thing is really, friggin massive. I have been playing on it non-stop. I might be in love.
@@tech-Nic Glad you're enjoying it. Good things happen to good ppl.
@@TheAuspiciousTurtle man, I appreciate that bro. Thanks!!
😂 subbed. X2
Can you wallmount this monitor?
It does come with a mount. I haven't been brave enough to attempt that yet.
@@tech-Nic but there is the option to wallmount it?
i guess its not wall mountable :(
Only a complete idiot would pay this amount of money for a monitor that only allows one HDMI input!
Anyway, I absolutely love mine! 😂😂
p.s. I'm in the UK and got mine on a 40% off deal and paying £50 per month interest free!
p.p.s There's a Gen2 version of this now that allows 4 HDMI inputs at the same time. Hopefully they'll sort something so us Gen1 users can enjoy the same!
Lol!!! I couldn't agree more
how to kill you eyesight
I see bad reviews and I see good ones, I just want this for my PS5. Simple
You wont be able to afford power and water bill after buying this thing and your SO will leave you and take the kids but itll look good in your office :P
😂🤣
Can you push it far down and tilt it a bit upwards while in vertical mode? Im planning on using that vertically with 3 screens and i imagine looking up for the third screen for hours would destroy my neck.
