Woot is having a big sale on Samsung gear, and specifically a range of gaming monitors, Galaxy Tab tablets, and some accessories. Advertised savings are up to 56% for the form and up to 80% off the latter, and while those discounts apply to MSRP rather than street pricing, there are some huge, actual discounts on tap. One of those applies to Samsung's monstrous 55-inch Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen display.
55-Inch Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen Gaming Monitor Is 56% Off MSRP
To call the
55-inch Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen display big is like saying Godzilla is big lizard. It doesn't really underscore the massive nature of the beast. Call it whatever you want, but it's on sale for
$1,199.99 at Woot (save $1,500 over MSRP).
That's a gargantuan savings, and most of it is real. For example, Samsung has the same model on
sale for $2,429.99 (save $270), and it's currently going for a discounted
$1,699.99 at Amazon (save $1,000). Looking at the price tracking history on Amazon (which owns Woot), Woot's pricing is the lowest this monitor's ever been listed.
The Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen (LS55CDG970NNXGO) sports a massive 55-inch curved (1000R) mini LED panel with a 4K (3840x2160) resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time. It's also a FreeSync Premium Pro monitor with HDR10+ support.
Other tricks include a four-input multi-view feature, a cockpit mode that lets you swivel the ginormous panel into portrait mode, a built-in KVM switch, and an integrated Game Bar. It also comes with a solar-powered Ark Dial accessory for quick access to certain features.
If you're on the fence, you'll want to decide sooner than later. Most of the other monitors on sale at Woot have already sold out, save for
Samsung's 25-inch Odyssey G4 (LS25BG402ENXGO), a 1080p IPS panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC support. It's listed for
$169.99 at Woot, compared to
$206.99 at Samung ($73 off) and
$194.99 at Amazon ($85 off).
