Here's your chance to score an outstanding deal on one of Samsung's biggest and boldest monitors. For today only, Woot! (which is owned by Amazon) is offering the second generation 55" Samsung Odyssey Ark 4K Mini-LED gaming monitor for a low, low price of $1,199.99. Amazon Prime members get free delivery, otherwise pay just $5 for shipping. This is a brand new monitor with full 1 year Samsung warranty. It currently sells for $2,700 retail at Samsung direct. I've seen it for as low as $1,500 a few years ago during Black Friday, but this deal absolutely trounces it.
55" Samsung Odyssey Ark Gen 2 Gaming Monitor for $1,200
The Samsung Odyssey Ark is truly a one of a kind monitor. It boasts a gigantic 55" screen size with an aggressive 1000R curve, native 4K (3840×2160) resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 1ms gtg response time. The quantum dot mini-LED panel features 1,056 local dimming zones, Quantum HDR 32X technology, HDR10+ support, and 95% DCI color gamut.
A gimmicky yet nonetheless very cool feature is cockpit mode. Basically, you can pivot the monitor to portrait mode where the screen literally curves over your head in a super immersive "cockpit-like" experience. It could be useful in certain types of gaming scenarios but not something you'd taking advantage of on a daily basis. Did I mention it looks very cool?
Other features include an impressive 2.2.2ch 60W sound system that consists of four corner speakers and two central woofers, HDTV-like smart functionality, integrated KVM, and an external control pad. At the retail price of $2,700, this wild monitor would be a pretty tough sell. At $1,200, however, this could be a steal.
