Refreshing display settings and trying several different resolution configurations seems to help the Ark learn the correct display resolution over time. When running Windows on the max resolution of 3840 x 2160 as I did for most of my time with the Ark, it does present some issues with being able to read Cleartype fonts correctly, with blurring and ineligible text the further one has to look from their seated position. Not only is this ugly but takes away the point of having such a large display. Windows 10 presents some scaling quirks, as it recommends scaling the display to 300%.

I can have the Ark run Disney+ or HBO Max, while doing work on the ultrawide – and instantly I’m both immersed in the movie with the best sound I’ve ever heard from a display – and getting work done. This is when I found myself being most productive.īeing able to play a video game on the far left of the Ark, with Samsung TV Plus, Youtube, and a screen mirrored Mac Laptop displaying on the right, and then using the Utlrawide for writing this review has been super helpful – more so than using the Ark as a standalone monitor. For my time in using the Odyssey Ark, I experimented with using the Ark as a standalone monitor, and then in tandem as a second display for my Windows PC – utilising another Samsung ultrawide I own. Here again is again why I say using the Odyssey Ark is best in twos. Using your smartphone and the Smart Things app as an input device helps, but it too takes a little getting used to and sometimes can be too sensitive, especially when using the 4Dpad as a mouse. Not to bemoan the point, but it really is a shame that I can’t have Smash Bros loaded up on one side of the screen, and for example, this review text in another.Ī workaround to using streaming apps may be to use the built-in web browser, but it’s a pain to navigate using the Ark Dial or Ark remote.
