There are few monitors more profound, versatile, and perfectly designed for gaming than the Samsung Odyssey Ark gaming monitor. This monitor puts you in the game. With stunning colours and clarity, a response time you expect in a gaming monitor (165Hz refresh, 1ms response time) the consequences of your thoughts are immediate—like you are in the game. During gaming month Best Buy will have many gaming contests, and this one is for anyone who wants their gaming bigger and better than ever. The prize is the same monitor that we sent to Marcus (pictured above) for an honest review. I saved that sample at the office when it returned from Marcus so that I could give it away during gaming month. Read his review to learn about this monitor and enter this contest to win it!

Are you really in the game

Like most things in life that are real, gaming ability and gaming interest falls on a normal distribution (aka, a bell curve). Some of us are “Little Game” and some of us are “Big Game.” I fall on the far left at about a “3” on the scale since I don’t play games very much. But I work with talented writers on the Best Buy blog, like Jon Scarr and Matthew Rondina who are at “8” or “9” on the scale (reserving a “10” for professional eSport players).

Introspect for a minute. What kind of gamer are you? When hostile aliens come to visit Earth, will you be on the “A” list of people the army calls for the big “drone battle in the sky” or will you be someone, like me, they ask to do more farming to feed the troops? Hey I could use a big monitor like the Samsung Odyssey Ark to plan my crops!

Who in your life is the biggest gamer you know

Okay so I have established that I am not “Good Game” and certainly not “Big Game.” You likely have a good idea where you land on this scale, but how about the people in your life. Are they more game or less game than you? In other words, would they be more likely or less likely to get the most benefit from having this amazing monitor prize in their home. For some people this might be a sensitive topic: food fights have started with less incentive. I’m not trying to raise hackles, or move anyone to cast judgement. If a consensus is not immediately forthcoming, then this is likely the kind of question best settled with … a game! Perhaps you’ll get to play it using this monitor.

I understand, however, that many people might think this monitor is too big for their home. That’s okay. Samsung has a huge selection of gaming monitors, smart monitors, curved monitors, efficient productivity monitors, and more. In fact, many of them are on sale this month so you’ll likely find exactly the monitor you need for gaming, for school, for work ….

  1. Roman is definitely a much better gamer than I and his young age takes people by surprise ! He’s got great problem solving skills and patience ! He’s definitely skilled more so than I or anyone that I know. I may have a chance with Mario Kart or smash bros or even rocket league

  3. I would match my boyfriend Apollo and we would play Mario party 3 on Nintendo 64. It’d be the only way to settle the score on whose the best gamer one of the first games we played in early dating days was Mario party on Wii and I stole all his stars and since then, I’ve never heard the end of it. Time to settle the score

  4. Nate is a similar level gamer to myself. We’ve had many battles on various platforms over the years, but I think I would challenge him to a game of NBA2k. We’ve both got skills and it would be a great match.

  5. Laura is about the same level of gamer as me. If we were going to compete to see who is actually better I would play Just Dance Now even though I think she has a slight advantage.

  6. Neil is not at same level as I am. I would like to play Rocket League because i think I would have a better chance to win than he would.

  7. This would be perfect for Marc, and I would love to play Overcooked with him, lol. Not at his level, but that’s more my style. Would be great on this Samsung 32″ monitor: Model Number: LU32R590CWNXZA

  9. I would compete with Paul in playing God of War, because of the challenging combat in this game.

  12. my friend Jade, we would probably play against each other in Mario Kart, simply because this is the only “competitive” game I play

  25. Bob is very good at video games, but I am sure that I could beat him at League of Legends. It would be fun to try as we both love the game but have never played against each other before.

  27. Steve is about the same level gamer as I am. The game we would play is Madden Football because we both like sports games.
