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.

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.

@@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.

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

@tech-Nic 10 ай бұрын

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

@mkwsoxfan 10 ай бұрын

@@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

@tech-Nic 10 ай бұрын

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!!!

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.

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.

@@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.
