Comparing the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey Ark: Key Differences | ||
|---|---|---|
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 features a 34-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, offering a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m² and a refresh rate of 48 Hz - 175 Hz. In contrast, the 54.6-inch Odyssey Ark boasts a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), a peak brightness of 600 cd/m², and a refresh rate of 48 Hz - 165 Hz. The G8 utilizes OLED technology for vibrant colors and deep blacks, while the Ark employs VA technology with a Mini LED backlight for enhanced brightness and local dimming capabilities. Additionally, the Ark is significantly larger and heavier, weighing 41.5 kg compared to the G8's 7.5 kg. Both models support advanced features like HDR and adaptive technologies, but the Ark includes more extensive connectivity options with 4 HDMI 2.1 ports versus the G8's 1 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI. | ||
