Did you know that gaming monitors make a difference to your gameplay? Many gamers spend a lot of time researching and investing in the perfect gaming monitor that suits their gaming style because of the elevated experience they’ll enjoy with the right gaming monitor in front of them!
Unlike regular monitors that are often used in offices or at home, gaming monitors generally offer a smoother and more immersive gaming experience. So what should you be looking out for if you are looking for a gaming monitor?
Higher refresh rates and response time, smoother gaming experience
Input lags are a big no-no for any gamers, especially if you are playing a first-person shooter (FPS) game or racing game, which is why it is important to have a gaming monitor that offers higher refresh rates and response time. It is recommended that your choice of gaming monitor should offer a refresh rate of at least 144Hz and a response time of at least 4ms (GTG). Samsung offers a range of gaming monitors that meet these requirements, with the majority of them exceeding the specifications for an enhanced gaming experience!
Bigger screen, better immersion
Size does matter when it comes to your gaming monitor screens – but before you go and get the largest gaming monitor in the market, there are a few things you’ll need to note.
Firstly, be sure to assess your desk real estate before you go and make a purchase. Ensure that the gaming monitor you’ve selected fits comfortably in that space.
Secondly, you should consider the resolution that the gaming monitor offers. A bigger gaming monitor may offer the same number of pixels as a smaller monitor. In this case, it would be better to opt for the smaller monitor as the pixels can appear quite stretched on the bigger screen monitor, decreasing the quality of your gameplay as it will reduce the overall definition.
Whatever the gaming monitor size you may be looking for, Samsung can offer you quite the selection, from 24” to 55”, and everything in between. Check out Samsung’s range of gaming monitors below.
Experience gaming with a monitor that plays as hard as you do!
But if you are after a gaming experience unlike any other, then Samsung has a gaming monitor that will impress even the most hardcore gamer! The world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen makes for exciting gameplay and a gamut of features that will take gaming to the next level. With a refresh rate of 165Hz, 1ms response time, and FreeSync Premium Pro, the Odyssey Ark offers gamers a seamless gaming experience, all on one screen. In addition, you can conveniently rotate your Odyssey Ark screen into a cockpit mode (vertical setting) to create an immersive experience.
Do everything on just one screen!
Often you will find gamers using multiple screens to multi-task or create a larger screen, with their screens hooked up by wires and cables. However, with the Odyssey Ark, gamers can now do everything within the 55” screen simply by activating the multi-screen feature.
The multi-screen feature allows you to split your screen horizontally or vertically (when it is in the cockpit mode) and lets you game, chat with friends, stream, and more! You won’t have to toggle between screens, because the Odyssey Ark allows you to do all that, without disrupting your gameplay.
Setting up the right gaming mood
Get yourself into the gaming mood by setting up the Eclipse Lighting and Eclipse Sync on the Odyssey Ark, in addition many of the Odyssey Line up feature Core-Sync lighting. This will allow the monitor to use the LEDs on the Gaming Screen to mimic the colours of the games you are playing. Just imagine the gaming vibes you can experience with this setting turned on!
And of course, if you are gaming, you would want your sound system to be top-notch, which is what the Odyssey Ark promises. With four corner speakers and two central woofers fitted in the monitor, the AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos will take your gaming sound experience, quite literally out of this world!
