Samsung Odyssey Ark

-

> The Consumer Electronic­s Show (CES) is a great time to see some outlandish tech, and Samsung did not disappoint this year with its Odyssey Ark monitor. This display behemoth is a mammoth 55 inches across — more than double Apple’s largest 27–inch iMac — and uses a heavily curved screen to make using it a little more comfortabl­e and immersive. Like the latest MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, the Odyssey Ark uses miniLED tech to ramp up the display quality and offer increased contrast and brightness.

You can rotate the screen 90° into a portrait orientatio­n, and thanks to its curvature and enormous wingspan, this makes the monitor loom ominously overhead — to the height of three 16:9 monitors stacked on top of each other, in fact. It’s frankly terrifying.
