On the PC side, it can reach up to a 165Hz refresh rate, allowing for frenetic gaming at incredibly high framerates. When it comes to software, the Ark is a curious device, sitting somewhere between what you'd expect from a smart TV (it has apps for Netflix, YouTube and everything else you'd expect), and a computer monitor. Just a few steps off the center and you immediately lose color and clarity. But while the Ark's sweet spot is indeed very sweet, showing off the added brightness of Mini-LED and the expansive color range from its Quantum Dot display, its viewing angle is incredibly limited. Movies, TV shows, and even trailers felt like they were drawing me into the action, so much so that I barely noticed the slight distortion from the curved sides of the screen. The combination of expansive sound and a wonderfully immersive picture make the Odyssey Ark a truly unique viewing experience. And unlike most TVs and monitors, the Ark's large frame allows it to house a six speaker sound system (four tweeters and two woofers), which delivers the audio punch of a medium-sized soundbar. It's an effective bit of immersion while you're viewing the Ark in its standard widescreen mode, reminiscent of specialized theaters like LA's Cinerama Dome. The sides of the display almost seem like they're trying to embrace you with 4K Mini-LED goodness. I've been in front of plenty of curved screens before, but nothing this extreme. The Ark's odd shape, as well as a few LED lighting strips on the rear, are the major signs that it's not a mere TV set.
