New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS): South Korean giant Samsung on Saturday launched the world's first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen in the Indian market.

The ‘Odyssey Ark' monitor comes in black colour and is available for sale at a starting price of Rs 2,19,999, said the company.

"We are positive that Odyssey Ark will revolutionise the gaming ecosystem in India", said Puneet Sethi, Vice President of Consumer Electronics Enterprise Business, Samsung India.

Odyssey Ark comes with a 55-inch screen that surrounds the user's field of vision with its 1000R curvature.

The new screen allows precision gameplay and quick action with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology.

The monitor comes with a cockpit mode that allows the screen to be rotated vertically 270 degrees. For the best screen positioning, this mode enables the screen to pivot, tilt, and rotate using a HAS (Height Adjustable Stand).

Samsung's Quantum Matrix Technology which uses Quantum Mini LEDs, integrated into the Odyssey Ark, allows precise control of the tightly packed LEDs, according to the company.

The 14-bit processing and a sophisticated lighting control technology help gamers to see both dark and bright scenes.

The new screen features Matte Display that provides both anti-glare and anti-reflection protection.

Odyssey Ark comes with Sound Dome Tech featuring AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos for better sound experience, the company said.
