The Samsung ARK is a 55-inch OLED monitor that can go vertical. I saw it in person, and it's wild.
The line between TVs and monitors is blurring. And Samsung wants to remove that line entirely with Odyssey ARK gaming monitor.
On the other side, we’re seeing more monitors that look like TVs. Last year’s 55-inch Alienware OLED gaming monitor is one example, and at CES this year, we’ve seen large format OLED monitors from Asus and Acer, among others. Your eyes don’t deceive you. That is a 55-inch curved OLED monitor positioned vertically. This is cockpit view, where the display stretches far above your head, and it’s remarkable to see in person.
Will anyone actually use this? It’s a question you could ask of a lot of CES products. ARK doesn’t look immediately useful, but the vertical orientation could have legs for specific applications in the future. It’s cockpit view, and my mind immediately went to gaming. The vertical orientation is impressive, but it’s important to remember that this is still a 55-inch, 16:9 display. Unlike the DualUp, you can just use it in the horizontal orientation, and the ARK is a great that way.
Bringing TVs and monitors together The Samsung ARK is gimmicky. The vertical orientation is cool, sure, but there aren’t any games that support that kind of aspect ratio, and I imagine most people will use the monitor in horizontal orientation.
