Product Features

55-Inch Curved 4K UHD Display

The expansive 55-inch display provides a large viewing area for gaming, films, and connected entertainment. Its 4K UHD resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels delivers detailed images, making it suitable for modern gaming systems and compatible high-resolution content.

1000R Curved VA Panel

The 1000R curvature is designed to follow the natural curve of your field of vision, creating an immersive viewing experience across the large screen. The VA panel provides a high contrast ratio for clearly defined dark and bright areas.

Quantum Mini LED Backlighting

Quantum Mini LED backlighting provides precise brightness control across the display. Combined with Quantum Matrix Technology and 1,056 local dimming zones, it helps improve contrast and preserve detail in bright highlights and darker scenes.

165Hz Refresh Rate

The 165Hz refresh rate supports smooth motion during fast-paced gaming. It updates the screen more frequently than a standard 60Hz display, helping improve visual fluidity in racing, action, and competitive games.

1ms GtG Response Time

The 1ms grey-to-grey response time helps minimise pixel transition delays and motion blur in fast-moving scenes. This supports clearer motion and responsive gameplay. Actual results depend on display settings and operating conditions.

Quantum HDR 32x and HDR10+ Gaming

Quantum HDR 32x enhances compatible content with a broader range of brightness and contrast. HDR10+ Gaming uses dynamic metadata in supported games to adjust image presentation according to scene requirements, helping reveal details in bright and dark areas.

1,000,000:1 Static Contrast Ratio

The monitor’s manufacturer-listed static contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 supports strong contrast between bright and dark image areas. Together with local dimming, this helps create more detailed gaming environments and cinematic visuals.

Quantum Dot Colour Technology

Quantum Dot technology produces a broad range of colours for vibrant gaming and entertainment. The monitor supports up to 1 billion colours and approximately 95% typical DCI-P3 colour coverage, helping compatible content appear rich and detailed.

AMD FreeSync Premium Pro

AMD FreeSync Premium Pro synchronises the display’s refresh rate with compatible graphics hardware to help reduce screen tearing and stuttering. It also supports compatible HDR gaming for smoother visual performance.

Cockpit Mode with Rotating Screen

The adjustable stand allows the screen to rotate into Cockpit Mode, creating a vertically oriented display for a more immersive gaming environment. Height, tilt, and pivot adjustments help users customise screen positioning. The display must be manually rotated, and the appropriate vertical display setting must be selected during setup.

Multi View with Four Inputs

Multi View allows up to four input sources to be displayed simultaneously, reducing the need for several separate monitors. This is useful for managing a gaming PC, console, streaming content, and other compatible devices on one screen. In Cockpit Mode, Multi View supports up to three screens, and some gaming features are restricted while Multi View is active.

Flex Move Screen

Flex Move Screen allows users to adjust the displayed screen area from 55 inches down to 27 inches and select supported aspect ratios, including 16:9, 21:9, and 32:9. This helps adapt the viewing area to different games and preferences using the Ark Dial controller.

Ark Dial Solar-Powered Controller

The included Ark Dial provides convenient control of the monitor’s settings, Multi View, Game Bar, and Flex Move Screen features. Its solar-powered design reduces the need for frequent battery charging under suitable lighting conditions.

KVM Switch for Multiple Computers

The built-in KVM switch allows users to control compatible connected computers and supported built-in applications using a single keyboard and mouse. Each external PC requires a USB upstream connection, and compatible software may be needed for the full KVM functionality.

Built-In 60W Sound Dome Audio

The integrated 60W 2.2.2-channel sound system includes four corner speakers and two central woofers. Sound Dome Technology and Dolby Atmos support create a more immersive audio experience without requiring a separate soundbar for basic use.

Tizen Smart TV Platform

The integrated Tizen platform provides access to supported streaming services and smart entertainment features. Samsung Gaming Hub and Samsung TV Plus availability depends on region, service support, and internet connectivity. Some services may require a Samsung account or separate subscription.

Matte Display and Eye Comfort Features

The matte screen finish helps reduce distracting reflections from external light sources. Eye Saver Mode reduces blue-light output, while Flicker-Free technology helps minimise screen flicker during extended use.

HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and Wireless Connectivity

The monitor supports HDMI and DisplayPort connections for compatible gaming systems and computers. Built-in Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.2 provide wired networking, wireless internet access, and connectivity for compatible peripherals.
