These two monitors just cost way more than my whole existence.

I love the fact that you are honest, pros and cons on how they work/don't work for you.

Both the Ark and your LG monitors are 4k resolution. So you wouldn't get any more real-estate. To get more real-estate, you need higher resolution. The bigger screensize will just make the same amount of charts larger. The 5k LG 40in ultrawide might be better for you because it has more resolution vertically but it would have less horizontally (when standing vertically). Thanks for putting two of them side by side! I was looking to see if that would be a good fit for my setup. I think I'll just stick to one because of the size though.

Good to see this reviewed from a business/productivity perspective. I have a 6 monitor setup currently (two 16:9 stacked in the middle and four 5:4 old school monitors stacked on the sides), and realize that this would be a downgrade in terms of overall pixels from what I run. Windows is getting better with things like FanzyZones (PowerToys feature) to customize display zones on large displays like this - though it still isn't the same as having distinct separate monitors (e.g: sharing a monitor with a colleague in video conferencing software, or maximizing a video or game to only that monitor). The technology looks like it is getting close though... I'd love to get rid of some bezels and have a single display for my needs.

LOL man that was awesome. Loved this video!! Great editing / acting / music. Keep it up buddy I love the channel.

I just got the Ark last week and I love it, you took it to a whole new level with two arks in cockpit mode, that was awesome! Great video!

The "better just get 2" had me rolling lol. Dope intro, New Subsciber for sure

this is cool! may i suggest putting the monitors on a seperate table that the depth is just enough for the stands that is a little lower than your desk. then have them further away and a bit lower to take advantage of the size... also try to have the top part vertically stright while the curved part comes towards the desk making the edge flush with the table... they are so big you don't have to be so close to the monitors... also you might see less pixel size if they're a little further out... try and see :). Great video edit!!

Good points. I have dual Samsung Neo G9's for work and was looking at the Ark but only having a single PC input is a deal breaker. my desktop and laptop on the same monitor sounds like the perfect work setup for me.

Super entertaining intro. Better than most things I've seen recently. The input issue seems like quite the fail. There's MASSIVE real estate, of course users want to use it to split up the different devices they have. Liked & subscribed.

What would make the monitors more "convenient" to use would be a set of heavy duty monitor arms that attach to the desk. Not sure if they make them for this size monitor though. However you can definitely make these work with the one horizontal and one vertical layout like you have in the background at one point. Nice set-up regardless. Keep up the good work!

Nice one!! I thought about getting 3 of these for gaming in cockpit mode. Must be insane. I subscribed.

Awesome video, looks amazing with two Ark monitors side by side😅 The reason why your user interface is bigger on the Ark is because it is still only a 4K monitor, just like your 43” screens. They are both using the same ratio. From what you tell me, you want to scale the user interface to make more room and make everything look smaller on the ark. Maybe your software supports this, like browser windows, where you can scale it freely to suit your taste.

WOW... thank you, Mr. Young, it great educational video on the Dual Samsung Odyssey setup.

Awesome set up, JRY!

Thanks for the monitor review. Now I'm going to check your channel to learn about day trading.

Try 8k resolution Samsung televisions and see if that helps your situation. I believe you would benefit. A setup you should consider is the 8k resolution Samsung televisions on a wall(choose however many you need) with a more focused desk setup. You can walk the wall of televisions showing far more info as each 8k resolution TV is 4x the pixels/data as 4k resolution. If you can do 4 8k resolution 55 inch(probably has to be 65) that's an insane amount of data. I did what you did but going to 85 inches and you just need more resolution. 4k isn't enough. 8k is just getting there.

4k is 4k, no matter the size of the screen you will get the exact same real state. Beautiful setup, thank you for sharing!

Love the editing :D

Entertainment! funny video james! Im keeping my allen wrench for now 😂 btw did not expect the horror part in the ending. haha

I appreciate your talking about it for productivity. I would like to see you use it for editing. That + other creative productivity would be my use case. For now I have the LG Ultrawide 49" 5K monitor for the better clarity and (non-gaming) specs overall. I'd love to get the next version of this Ark. Oh, and it's about $2,500 now.

great video mate - congrats on the goated setup

Great Video. Love the sense of humor to share the story. Keep it up. One question: in the video, you have the 2 arks on your desk. And on the Ark on the right hand side, you have multiple charts showing possible trends that you are seeking to trade. Which program are you using to access that many charts on the screen. Thanks. Look forward to your next story.

LOL such a great setup!!! I am using Samsung 49-inch curved but damn the Arks looks beast! I am insipired

good review and very good montage

This was a great video! made me smile. Now i want one of these definitely!

Very cool video and awesome setup!

I don’t know what it is but I literally subscribed instantly 😭

HA! the beginning was entertaining! your sense of humor shines through.

them monitors are insane!!! I had to subscribe. Beast setup for trading!!!

Like the content man! Just a comment at around the 5:40 mark, you may have the right resolution and scaling dpi but you did actually lose half your pixel count going to 2 4k monitors versus 4 so do have less viewable information potential than previously for unscaled apps like your trading graphs.

Damn bro I just switched to this and LIFE IS DIFFERENT. I don't day trade or really game but it's the ability to use this at 100% scaling that's got me h-as-a-rock. Now that I have one... I want 2 more to have an array of 3. I just don't think my desk can support that weight. I can't believe this video exists. Thank you

So damn nice to be both Rich and Young.

thanks for the feed back and honest opinion.

Very interesting. I have been using a 43" samsung nu6900 4k 60hz (6100:1 contrast) VA in portrait mode on each side of whatever was my main middle screen (now a 48CX OLED) for years. A stream deck + a handful of stream deck addons for app and window management can do similar to what the ark's OSD window management can do, or better imo, and has been able to for years now. That is, at least within the window environment and what inputs you can put into your pc. Since the ark can't do more than one hdmi input at a time it's multi screen isn't that useful. I also wouldn't opt to use a TV OSD web browser for security reasons and quality of life addon reasons so that's another ark OSD input/window that is out the door. I can set up my side screens to tilt downward very slightly and then use my chair's full head and neck support to tilt the chair back very slightly to a micro "sniffing" position. Over a ~ 39.5" view distance (the focal point of the 1000R, 1000m radius curve), or across the 40 to 48" view distance I use with my 48" oled, that allows a better viewing angle for the tops of the screens across that distance. I'm still interested in an ark as my main media and gaming screen in landscape mode primarily, just not at the current astronomical early adopter price. I really don't need the speakers either as I have a receiver for surround sound at my pc + some high quality headphones, so paying for those speakers for nothing in my case. I could still flip one vertical between my 43" tv "two towers" with gap between them all. (55" in 16:9 landscape, 3840x2160 resolution:~ 47.9" wide, ~27.0" tall viewable). So that's a ~ 48" gap minus the 27" wide screen in portrait mode = ~ 10.5" gap on each side while rotated unless I move the side 43" screens together on their monitor arms). I just wanted to say I've been able to do similar or better windows management and app controls via a stream deck for years, and vertical monitors with that type of control is nothing novel to me. I still think the ark is a great size vs curve radius vs rez. At the ~ 39.5" view distance of the radius/focal point it still gives ~ 61 PPD which is just above what I consider the minimum for massaged text subsampling and aggressive AA t compensate enough vs text fringing and graphics aliasing. So samsung balanced the ark's proportions and specs well. A smaller screen would have a higher PPD but would have lost out of the immense immersion at 1000mm. A larger screen (or sitting to close to the 55 ark) would have been too poor of a PPD, sub 60. So the ark is pretty much the limit imo until we get 8k screens.

Just when I saw the thumbnail, that he made dual monitor setup with Samsung Odyssey Ark!!🤯 I said He must be a Kotipoti ( Millionaire). and after watching the video, I confirmed he is actually a Kotipoti ( Millionaire). 😅😅

Thanks for the video. I am a full time trader current running 3 curved monitors in landscape. Looking to add 3 more and add a top row. Still looking at options so thanks for showing this. But I was worried the agressive curve on the odyseey would make my charts look funny.

Was planning the same setup , thanks for doing this video , now I'm going to try the asus Rog 48 x 2

Awesomeness the old monitors get to see another day (" liked your review... thats a steep price tag but I'm sure it Worth it very nice setup U got... very nice review 👌 have a great weekend...

Great video! Beyond zooming out of your trading browser (I assume it’s a web browser but idk anything about trading), if you have an nvidia card you can try dsr in the nvidia control panel settings (dynamic super resolution), and run your panels at a higher than 4k resolution and get even more screen real estate that way (I believe you can go up to 8k)! I do this with my 1440p display to get 4k scaling for productivity, while it can sometimes add a small amount of blur to text, you can mitigate this with built in sharpening/smoothening, I recommend giving it a shot for your use case.

Dude, you are my hero. Charts charts charts. I need this setup ASAP. LOL.

Both monitors are the same resolution. The originals being 4k and the Ark being 4k. The Ark has a larger screen with the same resolution that is why everything seems bigger. Its a bigger screen. The curve wouldn't have anything to do with it. 3840x2160 on both monitors. The old monitor might also look sharper since it has more pixels per square inch. But at 4K at either screen size PPI isn't a very big deal.

Very nice! I like the charts. I have a similar setup for my trading and made a video about how I took 2 Neo g9s and turned them vertical and added an additonal 48 inch oled, which I think is a good alternative. The lack of inputs was a no go for me, so I went for this solution of mine. I actually show it in my channel.

you saved me alot of money thanks man!

Awesome video

Awesome - I’ve had mine for months (for trading) and don’t know you can do full pc screen when in cockpit mode! 🥳

...and I remember back in the 90's I was doing graphic design, desktop publishing AND AutoCAD on a 13" monitor... It was facy 'cos it was a Sony Trinitron... My has time and requirements changed..

hi nice video i also have this in my showroom it is really cool

Now we need that triple monitor setup

I'm super jealous and I really need to step my game up.

Very good video sir love from India🇮🇳

Imagine having a triple monitor set up of this? One landscape in the center flanked by two in portrait mode on both sides.

On sale right now until May 28th for $1999. Just it bought from Best Buy. Can’t wait to hook it up.

I think for me two horizontal screen view since I am an gammer video streamer/ music editor will do. I just discovered this monitor yesterday. For your set up, I suggest the one SAMSUNG 55" curved in the middle and two 43" LG placed on each side of the Samsung. PC on the Left LG, PS5 on the Center Samsung Curved and the other PC on the Right. So, two PC's for both end Straight 43" screens and the PS5 Horizontal in the middle. Good luck on your adventure.

For my 3d work flow, i bought Neo G9.. Love that..

Dream setup bro. Coming soon.

I don’t care about the bad reviews about these monitors I’m definitely purchasing one

Your insane and I love it

You can put the PC on the entire screen. You have to change your settings on your PC into portrait mode and also change your monitor's settings to portrait mode under the game settings.

Hey James thanks for this! do you feel its hard to get like a main area to work with. like where you would look most of the time at. seems if i wanna split 4 screens on the monitor i would have to look at a specific corner thus putting strain on my neck. what your thoughts? thanks!

Like the feel of the vid

honestly amazing intro

I love this monitor and hopefully there is an update to use all the inputs at the same time. Probably asking too much. Gaming on it is amazing 👍

So I have a suggestion, I find that large displays and especially large curved ones require you to offset the monitors from your table. Hear me out, you need a shallow desk around 15 inches. Now your monitor needs to start below the table line, at least 1/3 of the monitor needs to be below your table in front of you. edit: Needs to angle up towards you To best test this method out is to setup a standing desk in front of your existing desk and stand up. It's much more comfortable and is more much more ergonomic than how you previously had it setup. The same goes for your existing setup, since you're using such large displays. You won't need to crank your neck up and down. Also, two of your vertical displays flanking the sides of the Odyssey Ark in the middle seems to be the sweet spot.

when the ark came out i tought no one would buy a fridge for a monitor. James why not have 2. looks good 👍

Channel name makes sense now. Rich and young.

Intro was the most subtle flex

its so beautiful :,)

The issue is that, at the same resolution the 40" monitors use, you're essentially taking that image and "stretching it" to a 55" monitor, even when using the "proper resolution and scaling". To fix this, you'd need to go into Window's settings, scale DOWN a bit, until the image was the same PHYSICAL size between the 55" and the 40". That would get you the screen real estate you want. Regardless, great video, the intro was hilarious, thanks for the content and the review.

I love the edit of your videos. I am still deciding whether to get this monitor or not. Would you say my gpu 2080 Super should be fine with this monitor?

Crazy dude.... 2x of these? wow...

what you want is a true 5k (not the 5k2k) or 6k, or even 8k monitors that are big TV sized large to get more of the height real estate. I also use 4-6 portrait panels, but 1440p only which is not wide enough. So I was looking into upgrading, but haven't seen what I want on the market yet.

Bro should be an Actor not a Trader! 😄😄 This was a master piece in story telling without even speaking!

Crazy monitors :O

LOL I just finished setting up my dual 49" curved monitors stacked on top of each other for my home office. Took me 5 hours to do because I had to build the L shape desk as well. I want something vertical for my office at work though. This ain't going to be it, but nice set up with them haha

MY DREAM

The monitor my dreams dream of.

I dropped my ark quickly the no more than 1 hdmi was a deal breaker for me and I got it super cheap on sale for like 1700. Dropped to a lgc2oled do not regret at all

If they continue with the ark line I figure the next version will be better and no the price to feature ratio is not there for this go around.

Amazing set up, time however to give that room some love...🤔

When the Ark can display multiple external sources ( at the same time) , then I'll consider two or three if them.

I know in windows you can adjust your resolution to what your video card can do, but on a mac I use a program called EasyRes and I'm able to use a resolution that wasn't intended for mysetup. It uses more resources, but it's worth it. It's sad PC's won't allow you to do that. With a beast system, I'm sure your computer could handle 7680 x 4320 (8k). My macbook is running at 1440p and can max to 4k, but it has a built i graphics card and is 6 years old. It's native reso is 1080p.

Keep both!

If you already had 4K monitors, then unless you go up to 8K resolution, by going bigger, you don’t gain any extra screen real estate. Just all bigger and easier to see like you found out…

Man you deserve so much more views.. That'll happen soon

what s sick setup how you can scan so many charts at once. may I ask, what trading platform you are using?

when you use for example two hdmi cables from your pc to the one connect box, it should be possible to put a second "pc monitor" into this split view, as it's just another hdmi input for the monitor. same for three.

HI, please is that a trading view chart on the right monitor ? Thanks

When one's solution on misaligned mounts is to buy new monitors instead of replacing or rearranging mounts, they are rich.

if you change the scaling in display settings you can get a lot more screen realistate depending on what you are after

I really wish they'd have allowed multiple inputs and did away with that "One Source + 2 Built-In Apps" bullcrap. I use those kinds of features for work DAILY, and not having it, means I won't be buying this monitor. It's such a shame really, because I feel like this could have been a powerhouse.

Yeah it's only $3500 I should order 2 for now LOL, thanks for showing how it connects, I was wondering how that works.

Dude pulled the most expensive monitor and a dream of lots of developers and put two of them together. While I can't even afford the most affordable ultra wide monitor

Microsoft Powertoys will create zones that act like different monitors. You can drag a window while holding shift and it will resize to whatever zone you created whether a 3x1 grid or whatever. This should be included with windows, but it is a free download so... And yes having the same number of pixels but larger will make things larger. You can try setting dpi settings to higher that will make things look smaller (or the same size as on the 42 inch TVs) and thus will be able to display more information. Remember though that less pixels are being used to display information at the same size as the 42 inch screens so although you'll fit more information on the screen it will look less detailed as less pixels are being used. What you were thinking is like going from a 27 inch 1080p screen to a 27 inch 1440p or 4K. Which has more pixels so to draw the same information with the same number of pixels it appears smaller on the screen and you can display more information in the same amount of inches because the pixel density is higher. No worries as I know it's a weird concept to wrap your head around if you're not in the tech space. It's one of the hardest things to explain to consumers who are upgrading displays. Overall the Samsung display is cool, but the limited splitting options like you mentioned in the video makes it a handicapped experience for sure especially for non enthusiasts that don't know software workarounds. The LG DualUp monitor recently released I think is much more useful as far as non standard looking monitors go.

Please review Corsair xeneon flex. Thanks 👍🏻

Nice video! Btw, you only gain screen space if you increase the resolution. If you increase monitor size but keep the same resolution, you will still have the same screen space. everything is stretch to fit the monitor size. The size of the monitor doesn’t matter as you saw.

can you go over that big brick kvm switch again. That was just glossed over really quickly. Does that come with the monitor what is that? You can have more than one computer plugged in at the same time?

Should try *Windows Grid* setup something like 6x12 in portrait.

I wish you could have multiple inputs. Hopefully they will fix that if they haven’t already.

Hi me is from India ...I am going to buy this Samsung ark for stock market trading....is it suitable for it...right now I am using Dell 49 inch and LG 49 inch monitor and want to replace with this one...is it will be right choice? Hope for your reply.
