Skip the suite and buy the Ark instead?

We were crazy enough to actually buy the Samsung Odyssey Ark when it launched and, if truth be told, it was one of the craziest experiences we’ve had.

The 55-inch Ark was thoroughly immersive during usage, offering up a careful balance between responsiveness and downright obscurity. Featuring top-tier specifications that include a mini-LED panel, 165Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time, this behemoth really seemed to tick all the right boxes.

Having said that, it was almost impossible to move on your own – and would be an absolute nightmare for almost any half-decent desk.

If that doesn’t deter you, however, there are several great deals on the Samsung Odyssey Ark as we speak, with Samsung offering over $700 off this crazy 55-inch monitor.
