Samsung Announces 57” Gaming Monitor For Ultra-Immersive Work And Play

Samsung has just dropped some exciting news for your gaming setup. The tech giant is introducing not just one, but two impressive monitors: the Odyssey Neo G9 57” and the Odyssey Ark 55”.

Starting with the Odyssey Neo G9 57”, this behemoth boasts a dual UHD curved display, measuring 57 inches diagonally. It’s a visual treat, with a resolution of 7,680 x 2,160 and a speedy 240-hertz refresh rate. This monitor takes gaming visuals seriously, offering a peak brightness of 1000 nits.

What’s more, the Neo G9 mimics the vibe of having two 32” UHD monitors side by side. For gamers, the AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and a lightning-fast 1ms gray-to-gray response time translate to immersive, lag-free play. Plus, the handy HDMI 2.1 and the integrated USB hub allow for easy connection to consoles.

Now, onto the Odyssey Ark 55”. An evolution of the original 55” 1000R curved gaming monitor, it introduces the ‘Cockpit Mode’ for vertical screen orientation, offering multiple display options to suit different playing styles.

“The Odyssey Ark is now also more than a personal gaming theater—it is a single source for all computer needs. The added Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) switch feature5 makes the Ark a single command station for a smooth multitasking experience across multiple devices. Users can now control all the devices connected to the monitor with a single mouse and keyboard setup,” states Samsung.

For gamers in the United States, these cutting-edge monitors will hit the market in October. The Odyssey Neo G9 57” will retail for US$2,499, while the Odyssey Ark 55” is still awaiting its price tag.
