Samsung Electronics ha annunciato ufficialmente il gaming monitor Odyssey Ark, una device "da sogno" per ogni player, in grado di vantare la dotazione di un pannello curvo con diagonale da 55-inch e raggio di curvatura pari a 1000R.
Il monitor Odyssey Ark di Samsung è tuttavia capace di esibire specifiche al top non soltanto dal punto di vista fisico: si consideri, ad esempio, il tempo di risposta pari a 1ms nello scenario GTG, oppure la frequenza di refresh, che raggiunge il valore di 165Hz con risoluzione video 4K (3.840 x 2.160 pixel).
Il pannello da 55-inch del monitor Odyssey Ark di Samsung è basato sulla tecnologia proprietaria Quantum Matrix e utilizza quindi i Quantum Mini LED, che promettono, tra l'altro, 16.384 livelli di nero, e quindi, in ultima analisi, una resa grafica molto realistica.
Altre caratteristiche di primo piano del monitor Odyssey Ark di Samsung coincidono con il rapporto di contrasto statico, pari a 1000.000:1, e con il chip Neural Quantum Processor Ultra, che utilizza 20 reti neurali per fare l'upscaling del segnale video portandolo fino alla risoluzione 4K.
Il prezzo di lancio del monitor Odyssey Ark di Samsung, che supporta peraltro la tecnologia AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, è pari a $3.500. Segue il comunicato stampa in lingua originale attraverso il quale il gigante coreano ha lanciato questa periferica.

A New Cinematic Experience That Appeal to The Senses
The large 55-inch screen wraps around the user’s field of view thanks to its 1000R curvature, filling their peripheral vision. This is further emphasized by Cockpit Mode, which enables the screen to rotate with HAS (Height Adjustable Stand), tilt and pivot functionality for an optimal screen environment that creates a new sense of world-blending immersion.
The Odyssey Ark brings Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology to bear, using Quantum Mini LEDs, which enable ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs. With newly added 14-bit processing, a sophisticated lighting control technology, gamers see both dark and bright scenes, including 16,384 black levels for ultra-realistic graphics.
A million-to-one static contrast ratio brings out even the most subtle details with perfect clarity. Plus, the Neural Quantum Processor Ultra takes content quality to new heights by using data generated from 20 neural networks to enhance every visual detail, upscaling content to up to 4K resolution.
For supreme cinematic experience, the Odyssey Ark leverages Samsung’s Matte Display and Sound Dome Technology. The Matte Display provides both anti-glare and anti-reflection protection, minimizing distractions and keeps users focused on the content in front of them. The Odyssey Ark introduces magnificent sound with ‘Sound Dome Tech’ featuring AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos to enhance the surround sound experience. Four speakers, one at each corner, and two central woofers result in realistic and rich sound thanks to a 60W 2.2.2 channel with the lowest 45Hz notes of any gaming screen or gaming soundbar.
