Samsung Electronics has announced the availability of the upgraded Odyssey Ark 2^nd Gen Curved UHD Gaming Monitor (G97NC model) in Singapore, building upon the success of its 2022 debut.

Setting a new global standard as the world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen, the Odyssey Ark earned widespread recognition for providing gamers with an unparalleled immersive interface. The Ark 2nd Gen takes this legacy a step further, delivering a compelling cinematic experience. Equipped with an AI-Powered processor for pixel-perfect image restoration, AI Sound Booster, and Dolby Atmos technology, it creates an unmatched gaming ambiance.

The upgraded model introduces Multi-View connectivity, supporting up to four source inputs^[1], including three HDMI sources and one DisplayPort source. This allows users to seamlessly connect and control multiple devices, transforming the Odyssey Ark into a centralised command station for multitasking.

“We are excited to introduce these upgrades to the Odyssey Ark, elevating the gaming experience. Boasting enhanced features like 4K Picture Quality, a Matte Display, Multi-View, and Quantum Matrix Technology, the 55” Odyssey Ark ensures heightened connectivity and compatibility. This signifies Samsung’s commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of the gaming community, offering innovative design, top-tier performance, and personalised options to unlock users’ optimum gaming potential,” said Mr Jacus Long, Director and Head of Display at Samsung Electronics.

Making immersion stronger than ever before

The Odyssey Ark combines stunning picture quality, a flexible interface and incredible surround sound to create a space for gamers to connect, compete and multi-task during gameplay without missing the most exciting moments. Lifelike images on the 55-inch screen deliver visuals that heighten the senses, creating a personal gaming theatre. This is complemented by 1000R curvature^[2], wrapping around the field of vision for maximum immersion.

The Multi View feature has been notably upgraded, offering advanced connectivity and a dynamic multi-screen experience. Users can now effortlessly split the screen into four windows (three in Cockpit mode). It also enables users to indulge in a variety of content, playing multiple games at once, or viewing a handful of documents, all through one screen.

The new rendition also introduces robust support for external devices, incorporating a DP (DisplayPort) 1.4 into the Odyssey Ark’s three HDMI ports. This addition not only enhances compatibility but also seamlessly integrates with the KVM Switch^[3], providing users with a smooth and efficient multitasking experience across multiple devices.

The Flex Move Screen allows users to change the screen size from 55 to 27 inches, adjusting the position of the games in any direction and allowing gamers to modify the ratio from 16:9 to 21:9 or 32:9. This can be controlled by the Ark Dial, an exclusive controller offering a thrilling opportunity to unlock new possibilities through the world of gaming.

A tailored gaming environment

For a cinema-quality gaming setup, the Odyssey Ark utilises Samsung’s Matte Display and Sound Dome Technology. The Matte Display provides anti-glare protection, reducing glare by absorbing light, helping users minimise distractions and maintain focus. Its Sound Dome technology blends an AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos to help enhance the sound experience with four speakers at each corner, and two central woofers, resulting in realistic and rich sound which totals to 60 watts.

To give gamers a competitive edge when speeding through fast environments, the 165Hz refresh rate, on the Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen brings together a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution featuring 1ms response time (GtG)^[4] with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, helping to maximise on-screen accuracy.

Availability and Pricing

The upgraded Odyssey Ark 2^nd Gen will be exclusively available for pre-orders in Singapore from 23 November to 6 December 2023, through the Samsung Online Store. General availability is set to begin on 7 December 2023 at S$4,488.

Samsung Electronics Singapore has launched pre-registration for the latest addition to its Odyssey monitor series: the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ (G95NC model). The cutting-edge gaming monitor made its debut at Gamescom 2023, the world’s largest computer and video game event held in Cologne, Germany, from 23 to 27 August 2023.

“The world of gaming is constantly evolving, and our latest monitor technology is crucial for gamers to open new doors to adventure and perform their best. Samsung’s monitor leadership is further boosted by our newest Odyssey monitors, which unlock the ultimate level of immersion and create new experiences for gamers worldwide,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Gamescom is where the future of gaming is built. We can’t imagine a better place to showcase the future of monitors.”

Odyssey Neo G9 57” Offers Gamers Next-Level Immersion and Specifications

The Odyssey Neo G9 57″ (G95NC model) is designed to deliver groundbreaking visual experiences for gamers looking to enhance performance and sharpen their competitive edge. With the world’s first Dual Ultra-High-Definition (DUHD) screen and a suite of high-speed connectivity options, the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ already earned a Best of Innovation Award at CES 2023.

The 1000R curvature in the 57″ 32:9 screen is as wide as two 32” UHD monitors, wrapping around users with pin-sharp images and a wide field of view, immersing them in their games like never before.

Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers smaller, more discrete dimming zones. The result is a better distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and less blooming.

The Odyssey Neo G9 57” makes the most out of its Quantum Mini LED lighting by combining it with VESA Display HDR1000. With 1,000 nit peak brightness, HDR content appears vivid and life-like, with accurate colour and contrast reproduction, as well as enhanced colour expression and depth.

The gaming performance matches the level of visual quality to help gamers meet their full potential. The 240 hertz (Hz) refresh rate and 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time^[1] deliver less blur and minimised ghosting, allowing gamers to react instantly and seal victory while enjoying a smooth gaming experience and exhilarating gameplay. Plus, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro syncs the screen for a stable, lag-free picture.

The Odyssey Neo G9 57” offers VESA-certified DisplayPort (DP) 2.1 connectivity, which facilitates smooth gaming, efficient video playback and the Neo G9’s DUHD resolution up to 240Hz.^[2] In addition to DP2.1, the Odyssey Neo G9 57” also offers HDMI 2.1 and a USB hub, so gamers can hook up all their devices and elevate their game with less mess.

“By bringing DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to their premium gaming monitor, Samsung is opening new doors for gamers,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “More bandwidth, higher speeds and faster refresh rates provide new levels of performance and visual fidelity in games, and together the new Samsung displays, and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics cards will deliver the most vivid and immersive gaming experiences yet.”

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the Odyssey Neo G9 57” in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desk clean from clutter, while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes offer multiple inputs at a single glance, and the monitor utilises Auto Source Switch+ to instantly connect to new devices without flipping through input sources. An ergonomic stand, Core Lighting+ and CoreSync make the monitor fit in any environment and match the mood of the game with ambient lighting.

In August and September 2023, the Samsung Odyssey Twitch channel is celebrating the launch of the Odyssey Neo G9 57” with a special event named Odyssey Evolves. During the event, some of the biggest streamers will be playing the hottest games on the Odyssey Neo G9 57” while also giving away prizes for channel followers — including a $10,000 gaming setup featuring the Odyssey Neo G9 57”.

Preorder, Availability and Pricing

The Odyssey Neo G9 57″ (G95NC model) will be available in Singapore on 28 September 2023 at S$3,688 (including GST).

From 7 to 13 September 2023, consumers can register their interest for the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ on the Samsung Online Store. As a special bonus^[3], consumers who register their interest and place a preorder will receive a complimentary 32″ Smart Monitor M7 valued at $848, along with a Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield 4TB worth $488.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today launched two new series of The Wall – Samsung’s cutting-edge Micro LED displays – in the Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) region at the inaugural Samsung Display Tech Summit 2022.

Held in Bangkok, Thailand, the Summit hosted some 230 enterprise customers, tech enthusiasts and pro audio-visual partners from across the region over two days to share the latest insights and first-hand experiences on Samsung’s next-generation commercial displays and solutions.

“We are in the midst of a hyper-scale shift towards hybrid interactions, where everyone is expected to be seamlessly connected – be it at office desks, meeting rooms, classrooms, cafes or in the home office,” said Alex Hong, Head of Asia Sales & Marketing Group, Display Solutions, Samsung Electronics. “Organizations today have an opportunity to reimagine the future of productivity and collaboration that combines physical, digital and virtual worlds. I am excited about the role of display technologies in helping organizations to reconnect with its stakeholders in an ever-developing hybrid world.”

Creating Immersive Customer Experiences with The Wall

Perched at the pinnacle of display technology, Micro LED technology offers immersive viewing experiences in a high-resolution and large screen format, creating premium customer engagements for brands.

In 2018, Samsung, a pioneer in Micro LED displays, launched The Wall, which was then the world’s first consumer modular Micro LED 146-inch display. Since its launch, The Wall has been deployed to provide customer premium experiences globally, including in this region. In Bangkok, The Wall enables The Forestias by MQDC¹ , Thailand’s biggest property development project, to present a one-of-a-kind 360-degree cinematic experience to inspire its customers.

“Micro LED represents the future of display innovation. Samsung is leading the way in Micro LED adoption in Southeast Asia and Oceania with our flagship The Wall series. Expanding The Wall lineup with the launch of the All-in-One model, we are offering even more immersive experiences and innovation in installation, which significantly simplifies the process akin to installing consumer TVs,” said Leslie Goh, Head of Regional Display Solutions, Southeast Asia & Oceania, Samsung Electronics.

Launched in the SEAO region at the Summit, The Wall All-in-One, also called the IAB Series, brings the ease of Micro LED installation to the next level. The IAB Series requires only two hours for two people to install as it comes with a pre-adjusted seam and pre-assembled frame kit, which includes an embedded media play S-box. The Wall All-in-One has a display thinness of just 49mm and is available in three models: 4K 146-inch, 2K 146-inch and 2K 110-inch.

Also unveiled at the Summit is The Wall IWB Series, which is available in 0.63 and 0.94 pixel pitches. At 0.63 pixel pitch, this model is the slimmest ever pixel pitch in The Wall lineup, delivering Samsung’s most detailed picture and dynamic range expansion with the screen’s 120Hz frame rate, HDR10/10+ and LED HDR. The Wall IWB Series also provides a variety of screen sizes, accommodating 4K movies for 110-inch and up to incredible 8K quality for 220-inch.

All models in The Wall lineup feature Black Seal technology, enabling purer black levels with enhanced depth and details; Ultra Chroma technology, where narrower wavelengths produce RGB colors two times purer² and more accurate than conventional LEDs; 20bit processing to present extraordinary contrast ratio and smooth, natural tonal gradients; and Micro AI Processor to enhance image contrast while removing noise instantly.

The Wall also features Multi View, which enables simultaneous playback of content from up to 4 sources on one screen without the need for a video splitter.

Visualizing Productivity and Collaboration in the Hybrid World

In addition to launching the new 2022 models of The Wall, Samsung also showcased its latest display solutions at the Summit that are relevant to new modes of work, study and play in the hybrid era. These include:

• New World of Learning and Meeting: Classrooms and meeting spaces in the hybrid world require display solutions that are seamlessly connected, easy to use, immersive while allowing multiple users to collaborate at the same time. The new 2022 Samsung Flip Pro, available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch and 85-inch models, is perfect for students and professionals to enable high-quality collaboration with real-world writing and drawing experiences with pen and brush modes, integrated video call apps, multiple connectivity and wireless screen sharing.

• New World of Content Creation: The new Samsung ViewFinity S8, a high-resolution monitor for content creators, is available in consumer popular sizes of 27-inch and 32-inch for creating impactful content such as graphic design or detailed financial charts in the office or at home. Its pro-grade UHD resolution carries a wide color gamut up to 98% of DCI-PS and VESA DisplayHDR³ for optimal range, accuracy and nuance. Notably, the ViewFinity S8 received ‘PANTONE Validated’⁴ recognition for ability to accurate reproduction of more than 2,000 colors and newly added 110 skin tone shades from PANTONE⁵ .

• New World of Gaming Experiences: Odyssey Ark is the world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming monitor. This next-generational 4K gaming display features a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and a Cockpit mode to create a whole new immersive and personal gaming theatre for competitive and casual gamers alike. This ultimate gaming monitor also comes with the Ark Dial, which is a solar-powered controller built to give the player quick access to screen functions such as Flex Move Screen, Multi View and Quick Settings.

Sustainability by Design

At the Summit, Samsung reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by designing and building display solutions that can reduce carbon footprint, as well as contribute to resource circulation.

Its new 2022 display solutions have all received ENERGY STAR and EPEAT energy efficiency certifications. Certified by Carbon Trust, Samsung has incorporated eco-packaging in its products, with recycled materials used in all display solutions since 2021. Samsung has also developed and applied a new material made from recycled ocean-bound plastics to manufacture the ViewFinity S8. This has helped to reduce marine waste as well as carbon footprint.
