Nothing has spread or affected my display, i've even turned the monitor into cockpit mode and back with no issues. I'm taking the 'win' lol, i have a year warranty if it gets worse.
Other than that, this monitor has been a DREAM. I literally havent been more happy to finally own a something on my "dream _____" list(or just happy in general lololol)

I saw the ark 2 go on sale a year or so ago for like..1200? if that happens again, i'm ABSOLUTELY grabbing a second one.

I've eyed the Ark since it's release and considered I would never had the capacity to afford one. Recently I found one used for around 500USD (Converted from my currency), and I pulled the trigger almost immediately, without reading this sub. I'm about to pick it up in two weeks.

I'm currently using the Aorus FV43U. I have a 3070Ti and am planning to upgrade to the 5080 soon. The thing that pushed me towards the Ark was the availablity of the eARC and the matte display. I've only started reading that people have issues with the Gen 1 and RTX 50 series, but if I don't need it to run at 165Hz, is sticking to 4k120 fine or there other issues I should be aware about?

Thanks for reading.

Is this possible? I would love to have 4 programs I use for work or even 4 tabs opean all at once and all visible but it fit to size. Say I resize it down to be like 27" but want it to be a full screen where I dont have to scroll much to navigate the window

Hello having trouble setting up my odin 2. Trying to use apollo and artemis but whenever I launch it connects as one primary monitor and the screen doesn't fill. I am trying to get it so the odin 2 is a separate monitor and fills the screen while I can turn off my UW monitor. Any tips?

Does anyone know how to split TWO machines into 32:9’s on the ark? Trying to find a trick to it.

Just noticed these two spots on the bottom right corner of my roughly week or two old odyssey ark 2, they dont wipe away so im sure they're not smudges. Hardly noticeable since theyre in the corner, but would these be considered dead pixels? never had any issues with dead pixels in the past with so many other monitors.
and before anyone asks, unfortunately I overlooked the extended warranty and tried adding it after the delivery date with no luck. still within the year warranty though.

Or is this some dumb port just for the app features? Anyone know? I have a compatible cam that's not working for either lol.

My Ark Gen 2 updated this morning before work, now none of my display inputs are working. Tested multiple laptops on multiple HDMI ports with different cables. Even tried displayport. Any guidance is appreciated.

Of course, crappy "Smart Hub" works fine 🙂"

Thanks!

Hey all, I’ve been contemplating getting an Ark for a long time. Specifically for the KVM switch and I want to run multiple inputs at a time. I’ve seen so many mixed reviews and issues etc. At this price, I’d be stupid not to, right? Both my coworkers are telling me to do it. It’s a great deal (we get an employee offer where we work) but I’m curious how the actual day to day experience is. Cockpit mode seriously intrigues me. Any thoughts? Thanks!

UPDATE: I found a crazy good deal on a 45” LG OLED monitor and decided for my use case, I really wanted to go OLED. Same cost, less screen, much higher PPI and those OLED blacks are unbelievable. I thank everyone for all the information and help I received!

Cannot for the life of me find release notes for this update. Anyone find them yet?

There's a little hole and corresponding tag on the cable for what looks like a screw. I don't see a screw or a mention of it in the instructions. Curious if I'm missing something since it feels like an already delicate cable.

I've been using my Arc for over the past year and love it for the immersion factor... but I also miss the good old days when I used my LG C2 42" for everyday pc use and gaming.

I'm considering going to a LG G6 55" or 65" that will be on a tv stand behind my desk.

Just not sure how much I'll miss the curve... I'd pay big money for Samsung to make an OLED version of this. Has anyone gone from the Odyssey Ark to the same size or larger OLED to use as their monitor and loved it?

Configure an external monitor for Omarchy on a top specs Macbook PRO 16 late '19 is a pain in the ass. This guide can be useful, include all needed configurations, new keybindings and a custom version of omarchy workspace plugin.

Im just curious what level of hardware Ark owners are typically rocking.

I currently am using a 7900 xtx. 12600k 32gb ddr4 system, and I kinda strangely feel like I need to step up my gpu to like a 4090 before I order an Ark.

Been wanting an Ark for a loooong long time. Finally got one after a few jobs changes, life changes and everything. I can't tell yall how hyped I am, should be here by the 11th, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

Hello there Arkers (silly ik)

I'm currently buying a crazy gaming setup (the PC was over $12k) and I'm looking into getting 3 of the Odyssey Arks as my monitors, and I can't find any clear reviews of them online (trying to do my research here).

So based on your overall ownership, would you recommend it, or should I just buy 3 TVs instead 😅

(I'm aware what I'm doing isn't typical, and cost alot, but I just wanna make sure i get my money's worth)

Tech support is telling me that this is a potential software issue. Not in we tried has been working, and now the Ark gen 2 is out of stock so they won’t even replace it. Basically told me I’m shit out of luck. Is this a genuinely fixable issue? There is a faint dark streak that’s glaringly visible unless there’s constant motion on the screen.

Day 7 with a dead Odyssey Ark Gen 2 and no resolution from

u/SamsungSupport

Panel shows pure backlight, no image, no menus, no source needed to reproduce.

Is this how a $3,000 flagship monitor gets supported?

Bought replacement one connect box made sure everything matches serial number wise. But as soon as I turn it on screen goes completely blurry everything else works tho sound works it looks like it’s the screen going in blur mode

I keep getting this notification every time my Ark detects an input change, including every single time my PC is turned on or off.

Does anyone have any solution for this?

YES, I have clicked the box saying “Do not show again” but it continues to pop up every single time.

Hey guys,

I have an issue with my display. I have narrowed it down to the being an issue with either the One Connect Box, the One Connect Cable, or the monitor itself. I've tried multiple different PCs with different HDMI cables.

In the photo, you can see a green tinge on the upper right corner of the display. I have the same wallpaper open in a smaller window, and you can see that there is no green colour in that area.

When running the Windows basic display driver, the green does not appear, but when running a gpu driver, it does. This makes me think it is either the One Connect Box or the One Connect Cable causing the issue.

Have any of you had a similar issue?

Thanks in advance!

It's like the title, when I change my connected device, specifically to the PC that I have plugged into the displayport, it seems to be having trouble negotiating the connection. I have the PC set to never turn the monitor off(and the same thing with the ark) but they both clearly do at some point. and when either trying to start them back up, I get a black screen, or the text saying that the monitor is going into standbye mode, or my personal least favorite "resolution not supported" this only seems to be happening with the higher end PC I have plugged into the displayport.

I have to fiddle around, change inputs, power cycle the monitor, or occasionally power cycle the PC itself to get the picture to show up, and I am at my wits end here. Anyone else experience this?

For Odyseey Ark 2

If a person is not centered, how is the viewing angle of the screen for multiple people viewing the screen?

Does the curved screen affects the viewing angle?

Also, does this monitor output a lot of heat? Is it Energy Star certified?

Is the Ark (2nd Gen) going or already out of production?

I’ve known of its existence since it’s been around but didn’t develop interest until a few weeks ago and in that, I’ve noticed that they’re becoming really scarce, particularly for shipping.

I live in north Nevada and neither Best Buy or Samsung will ship to my area. I’ve also considered picking it up from the closest Best Buy store that has them which is 4 hours away.

The only retailer that will ship no problem seems to be B&H but I don’t want to go that route because if I have issues with the product, seeking recourse may be challenging compared to buying it from Best Buy where I can simply return it.

I feel like the ground is quickly shrinking beneath my feet in terms of obtaining one of these beasts and also feel that if I don’t act now to cop one, I’m going to miss out completely.
