The viewing experience was made more enjoyable by the introduction of curved monitors. The edges of the monitor curve towards you can make you feel like you're in a game or movie.
Is there a market for a curved monitor? It is about to be found by the company.
On Tuesday, the company announced the Odyssey Ark, a big, curvy monitor that can be pivoted to the side and used in vertical position.
The device has a 4K display panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and comes with a wireless dial controller that you can use to manage lighting and interface, but the details on the device are very scarce. It has a pivot and tilt stand.

It should be perfect for people doing everything from editing to gaming at home because of all of this. The majority of the time, the gaming community will choose a standard, horizontal orientation. Even if you stack a couple of these side-to-side for a massive, curvy, multi-monitor, vertical experience, the benefits over standard, flat monitors (or even curved monitors stacked horizontally on top of one another) are unclear. It looks cool.
There is no word on when the Odyssey Ark will hit the market.
