Samsung Goes Large with 55-inch Odyssey Ark Monitor
There's always a discussion about screen sizes and resolution when news about a new display is posted and we have a feeling that this one will be ultra polarising, since Samsung has decided to show off a 55-inch 4K curved display, with a tilt option. Yes, you read that correctly and there are pictures from CES to prove it as well. It would appear to come with a small, external control unit, which is likely to come handy, as reaching the onboard controls could be tricky on a large display like this.
Little else is known about the Odyssey Ark at this moment, but it's apparently using what Samsung calls a Quantum Mini-LED panel and it's meant to have multiple built in speakers. However, it is said to be a real product that should launch in the US market in the second half of this year, but expect to pay a crazy premium for the pleasure of owning one.

The only thing stopping me buying one of those Odyssey bla bla bla, is the 1000R curve
And the new 34 inch curve QD-OLED as well... just MAKE THEM FLAT 27 and 32 inch.
Look at the guy sitting there. Nuff said
Also, I'm not convinced that a variable radius works for curved displays. We're all used to the distortion caused by a flat image, you can re-adjust to a curved image very quickly, having parts of the image with flat distortion and the rest of it less distorted because of the curve makes no sense to me. Why not just make the whole thing a consistent 1500R rather than having a weird curvature change along the horizontal axis?
