Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which delivers more precise, smaller dimming zones, is powered by quantum matrix technology. As a result, there is a clearer difference between the light and dark portions of the screen, with less blooming.
To the extent possible, the gaming performance reflects the level of visual quality. Less blur and less ghosting are produced by the 240 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms grey-to-grey (GTG) response time, allowing players to respond quickly and secure victory while experiencing a fluid gaming environment and thrilling gameplay. Additionally, AMD FreeSyncTM Premium Pro synchronizes the display for a steady, lag-free image.

The Odyssey Ark, on the other hand, is the first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen in the world and has undergone significant improvement. Samsung has improved the new Odyssey Ark based on player input, building on the popularity of the original Odyssey Ark. New features created for connectivity, simplicity, and performance will please gamers seeking the utmost in entertainment, in addition to the amazing picture quality, form factor, and professional-level gaming performance.
Gamers have an advantage thanks to the monitor’s 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms GTG response time, while Cockpit Mode’s vertical posture opens up entirely new worlds for them to discover. The Odyssey Ark (G97NC model) now has extra capabilities like the new Samsung Multi View, which enables users to view up to 4 inputs on the screen simultaneously.
