Our Verdict

Samsung Odyssey Ark S55BG970

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85 and the Samsung Odyssey Ark S55BG970 are both 4k monitors with Mini LED backlighting, but there are a few differences. The Neo G8 has a smaller screen and higher pixel density, resulting in better image and text clarity than the Ark. The Neo G8 is also better for gaming as it has a higher refresh rate and better motion handling, and with a DisplayPort input, you can take full advantage of it even if your graphics card doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Conversely, the Ark gets much brighter in HDR and has a built-in smart system, so it's the better choice for relaxing and watching your favorite shows.
