Samsung now makes the biggest, curviest, you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it PC monitors out there; two Verge editors recently replaced their multi-monitor setups with a single 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 when it went on sale for $999 the other week. But the company’s not satisfied simply filling your horizontal field of view with 49 inches of real estate — today at CES, it’s revealing an even bigger 55-inch curved screen with a special stand that lets you flip the gigantic monitor vertically, so the screen curves right over your head.

Figure 1 shows Samsung Odyssey Ark 4K curved monitor measures 55-inch, and comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio. As per a report by The Verge, the monitor will be launched in the US in the second half of the year. It could feature quantum dot colour and Mini LED backlighting. It comes with a height adjustable stand (HAS) with pivot and tilt functionality. It can be used in both landscape and portrait orientation.

Samsung is offering a wireless dial controller to reportedly manage lighting and the interface. Other details of the monitor are not known yet. YouTuber Tim Schofield posted some images of the display on his Twitter handle.

Samsung Odyssey Ark Specs

If you thought this massive display was all show, think again. The monitor packs an impressive resume making it great for gaming.

While it doesn't include QD-OLED like the Samsung Odyssey G8QNB, it is an impressive quantum mini-LED, 4K display coming in at a whopping 55 inches, with a 1000R curve.

Under the hood, you're getting a 1ms response time and a 165hz refresh rate. [3] Response times tend to be a little longer with larger displays and more pixels, so we're interested to see how this fairs when we can get hands-on with it.
