Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung’s Insane New Display Will Break Your Brain…”.
[ Applause ]: what are you doing? Well, what are you doing? Uh just playing some games here. You think you got a pretty good setup going on it’s pretty good. You got a nice uh gaming pc going on. I, like the 49-inch, samsung, here’s the thing.
I got something better for you. Okay, they got a better model. I mean this one’s good.
I can bring you something better. All right. Let’S see what you got, i can bring you something better, something better better something better.
Better something better, better something better new samsung odyssey arc 55 remote control power, the knob to navigate the display. Do you have a do? You have a remote for your display right now, like this didn’t think. So is this the greatest monitor ever this is wild.
This is an external box for an even greater array of inputs, one connect for that cable accessory four hdmis lan optical audio usb, which then creates a hub for charging, possibly streaming devices or other accessories question for you, your display do that. I don’t think so. So, as far as peels go whoa yeah, it’s one of the best one of the best deals worth it there’s a side.
Peel too, look at that hard to even call it a monitor, really because it’s gon na be your tv, it’s gon na! Be your monitor! It’S gon na have all your sources going into it. It has a four speaker system. It’S gon na, be your music system, the most insane thing about this. So this stand is almost hard to believe everything seems off, it’s like very alice in wonderland right now, and then it does that this also still does this, which is probably what you would want to do. It brings the upper portion closer to your point of view and if you have one of these chairs check out this experience here – and you now have this incredible real estate now, what can you do with this display and, as you can see in this portrait orientation, There’S a few different options i can set up two screens.
I can set up three screens or i can do one large with a picture in picture now for the purpose of this demo. I’M gon na do three i’ll put the pc down on the bottom here. In the screen, one section youtube in screen: two and i’ll: do: let’s do a browser in screen three? What you’re gon na notice is that it looks like a triple monitor setup. In reality, it’s not three separate inputs. Instead, this is a smart monitor which is using a separate youtube app to supply the center screen, a browser app to supply the top screen. There’S other inputs available to you, including airplay.
If you want to apple related device mirrored into one of these sections, you have netflix and a variety of other apps twitch. But what you can’t do and what you aren’t doing is putting three separate hdmi inputs into these three separate outputs, ideally, and what i think samsung, maybe through an update, could hopefully do maybe through an accessory or something could introduce an option to have three separate hdmi Inputs, this little box is essentially an hdmi switcher, but because we have high resolution high refresh hdmi we’re going one cable from this box back to the monitor in this type of orientation. I’M guessing that the way most people will use that is in a multi-tasking type of scenario, would have their pc down here. That you’d be doing some work.
You have your youtube going and possibly your audio being pumped via the the youtube portion. You can select the audio output from any one of these screens at any given time, and this is kind of this is why i think samsung has given you this controller here to quickly cycle through change sources, and you can see in the youtube scenario. This is actually fast forwarding through the playhead, which is pretty cool, this little button there, which brings up a separate menu or what they call arc dial guide, and this is going to give you access to monitor settings. It’S going to allow you to create custom sizing for different windows. It’S going to allow you to go home to your multi-view settings which, like this, is one of my saved multi-views or to the game bar if you’re in game mode, and that gives you quicker access to things. You might be interested in if you’re playing a game.
Refresh performance and so forth, this is what home looks like you can navigate it again. With this controller or just with the standard, remote, a smart tv type of interface, it’s going to showcase some things to watch as well as allow you to install other applications. Things like netflix, prime video, disney, plus apple tv.
All this stuff is going to work independently of your pc, so this has functionality without even having your pc running. So if you just want to sit there and watch a bunch of netflix, why have your big pc wasting power when you can just have the uh monitor the display turned on on its own? If i go to ambient, you can see, there’s also some nice visual ambient type of setups kind of a wallpaper or background that you can just leave on in in your space. There’S a few different ones, kind of a nice way to show off this insane display under workspace. Here we have the ability to connect devices wirelessly. So, even though we’re only displaying one single hdmi source at a time there’s a way to get more computing on the display, you could have your pc input on one and then you could connect a windows pc mac or you could use samsung dex in order to Have another computing device occupying one of those other input slots now? This is an interesting one.
The gaming section where it seems like samsung is kind of encouraging you to use a modern game streaming service and then connect and pair a controller, as you can see in the top section here, so whether it’s via xbox stadia, utomic or g-force. Now they’re saying why even bother with a separate game console or gaming pc, you have everything built in just connect a controller and go so if i go ahead and click the same multi-view button you’ll see now there’s quite a few more uh orientations. So if i go make my own, we can do a dual monitor, just left and right we can do one big too small. We can do three that are kind of evenly distributed. We can do four with one large three little ones on the side or we can do a quad setup which i’ll demonstrate now. So we can have the pc in the top left.
Samsung tv in the bottom left we’ll do youtube in the top right and then we’ll do an internet browser in the bottom right and then you can also connect a mouse directly to the monitor, which would let you quickly move between your uh different inputs. But you can also use this dial to do the same thing and to make quick adjustments between various views. It’S a really fast way of like moving between a variety of sources. It’S really kind of a complicated task, figuring out how to view four different sources. At the same time, if you wanted to just have four hdmis, you would need four cables going all the way to the display, but that’s getting kind of messy, and this is meant to be moved and the orientation flipped and and so on. And when you have the breakout box now you have one hdmi going to the display.
So now you need these other inputs, not necessarily traditional inputs, but instead like apps and uh wireless versions of inputs in order to populate these other screens. But then it’s like okay. Well, if you have this mixture of wired inputs and wireless inputs and app inputs, how do you move between them in an effective way, and i think that’s where samsung developed this controller or emphasized the need for a controller like this honestly, i think as much as I’M sort of playing around and enjoying the multitasking aspect. I think the real appeal of this display at the moment is just having a tremendous bright, beautiful, high resolution, high refresh display in full screen, and you sit as close as possible to it in order to almost create a scenario similar to vr, without the need for Vr, let’s go to single display mode and, let’s blast some video games on here.
Well, what do you say? This is great yeah, it’s great! It’S next level, like it’s kind of the holy grail of monitors, look at the way he’s sitting and how comfortable he is, and he can be at a distance which would be impossible with other monitors because well they just don’t have to scale this intense curvature. Bringing everything to like a comfortable position for him to see as he’s playing it’s kind of the dream, come true where you want. Obviously, the maximum screen that you can get but there’s always been significant drawbacks well, for one they’ve, never been optimized to be monitors, they’ve pretty much always been tvs first, with all types of processing and things going on this one can sense the input and, in the Past when i’ve tried to connect pcs to televisions, yes, some of them would have a pc mode, which would turn off a lot of that processing. That would cause issues or lag and things like that, but this one. On the other hand, it’s like monitor first and then all the smart tv functionality yeah we’ll give you that too, but as a monitor, it’s functioning in a way that i’ve never seen a 55-inch monitor function. It’S meant to be the holy grail for a setup granted.
Yes, he could flip it into portrait if he wanted to be even more insane. What do you say will? Can i flip it in portrait for you? Okay, so obviously this is a very unusual use of this and we just so happen to have halo installed on this computer. So we want to boot it up and see if it would work and obviously it works, but like kind of squished in this way and then gaining in this way, there could be maybe some sort of game where this could work out or be cool.
I don’t know maybe like a racing game or something, but this is more just to showcase the versatility and the insanity of this monitor it’s completely out of hand, and that’s what’s good about it, like that’s, like, i said, holy grail status, the monitor to end all Other monitors the monitor to eat all other monitors. It actually looks like it could just chomp will he do maybe that’s what he wants. So there you have it. That is the new top-tier top dog status, monitor the holy grail of monitors, the odyssey arc from samsung. Apparently, there’s a few deals if you want to pick one up and create the most insane setup for yourself, those details will be in the description and i will i’m going to have to try to like yank willy do out of there possibly get some work done At some point, but i have a funny feeling people are going to be fighting over this monitor good. Lord .
