Display

Samsung initially showed us this monitor at CES 2022, and it is now available for mass shipment. Going over its primary USP, the display, it's a 55" mini-LED powered panel with 1000R curvature and 4K resolution. You can also rotate it, which according to Samsung adds a new level of immersion.

Best of all, it has a cockpit mode that allows users to flip the entire display vertically for multitasking and a completely different experience. Likewise, the display has a 165Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a built-in chipset to upscale video to 4K for the best gaming experience. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and has features such as a Game Bar for adjusting the display aspect ratio (16:9 / 21:9 / 32:9). Another notable software feature is the Gaming Hub, which allows you to access popular PC and console games as well as leading streaming services all in one spot. A Multi View feature allows up to four apps to be split over the screen.
