Samsung's Odyssey Ark gaming monitor will be available for purchase starting in August, according to a new report from Korean outlet ETNews. Originally announced in January during CES, this is a big display that leverages a 55-inch curved (1000R) 4K panel, one that can be used in either horizontal or vertical orientations thanks to its special height-adjustable stand with pivot and tilt functionality, making it an interesting choice for usage scenarios that include portrait viewing and vertical arcade shooters. Samsung's Odyssey Ark gaming monitor also features a wireless dial controller that users can use to manage its lighting and interface. There's no indication of how much the Odyssey Ark will cost, but Samsung recently launched its Odyssey Neo G8, the world's first 240 Hz 4K gaming monitor, for $1,500.
