Why you should buy the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen gaming monitor

When we tested the first-generation Samsung Odyssey Ark, our major problem with it was its expensive price, so this discount for the second-generation Samsung Odyssey Ark makes it an extremely tempting purchase. Its primary feature is its 55-inch rotating screen, which you can control with the wireless Ark dial. You can stack several windows horizontally or vertically, and you can play the best PC games in perspectives that are impossible for traditional gaming monitors.

The Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen gaming monitor checks all the boxes that are necessary for gamers, according to our computer monitor buying guide. You’ll be able to appreciate the graphics of modern video games with 4K Ultra HD resolution on its 55-inch screen, and you’ll enjoy smooth animations with its 165Hz refresh rate. The 1000R curvature fills your field of vision for an immersive experience, and its Sound Dome technology creates a three-dimensional soundscape. The gaming monitor supports the Samsung Gaming Hub for direct access to cloud gaming services, and it’s also a smart TV so you can launch streaming apps when you’re taking a break from video games.

In one of the most attractive Samsung monitor deals we’ve seen recently, the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen gaming monitor is down to $1,800 from $2,700 for a huge $900 discount. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before this offer expires though, so if you’re interested in upgrading your PC gaming setup with the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen gaming monitor, complete your purchase immediately — you don’t want to miss these savings.

ChatGPT Computer History Feature in action

We've already covered how ChatGPT's Computer History feature lets the Mac app remember what users have been doing across apps and websites, using interaction events such as clicks, typing, and app switching rather than screenshots or recordings. However, a rather uncomfortable detail in OpenAI's official documentation is that the files containing that history aren't encrypted.

Jared Cooney Horvath has spent over 15 years studying how people learn, and he says the picture for today's kids isn't good. The neuroscientist and former teacher argues that classroom technology is quietly eroding how children think and retain knowledge, according to a report from The Guardian.

Horvath's new book, The Digital Delusion, lays out the case that generational progress in health and education has stalled since around 2000, right around the time kids started to get access to screens. Concerns about early exposure run even deeper, with some researchers now warning that screen habits formed before age two carry their own developmental risks.
