Samsung’s latest innovation, the ViewFinity S9 monitor is a high-end combo monitor/TV.
Perfect for graphic designers and photographers, this 27-inch, 5K resolution display offers exceptional color accuracy and will be hitting stores in August for $1,599.99.
After much anticipation, Samsung has finally unveiled the pricing and availability details for its ViewFinity S9 monitor in the United States.
This monitor is specifically designed to cater to the needs of creative professionals, offering an impressive array of features ranging from its size and performance to its affordability.
The S9 builds upon the success of Samsung’s S8, which was already an excellent choice for graphic designers and photographers seeking an alternative to Apple’s Studio Display.
With its remarkable 5K resolution (5,120 by 2,880 at 219 pixels per inch), 60Hz refresh rate, and ability to display vibrant and saturated colors, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the S9 is cementing its position as a fierce competitor.
When it comes to color accuracy, Samsung has included its intelligent Smart Calibration feature with the S9.
This feature allows users to conveniently adjust the screen settings using their smartphones, eliminating the need for expensive calibration equipment.
By simply pointing their smartphone camera at the ViewFinity S9, users can calibrate the display’s white balance, gamma settings, color temperature, luminance, color space, and gamma settings.
The process is quick and easy, and after calibration, users can view a report detailing the adjustments made and the resulting Delta E color accuracy.
The S9 boasts a typical brightness of 600 nits, ensuring effective display of HDR content.
Samsung has also ensured user comfort by incorporating TUV-certified Intelligent Eye Care technology, which minimizes eye strain even during extended periods of use.
In addition, the Samsung Matte Display minimizes reflections and glare, preserving color accuracy while reducing distractions.
Compatibility is not an issue with the ViewFinity S9, as it works seamlessly with both Mac and Windows PCs.
It offers support for Thunderbolt 4, Mini DisplayPort, and USB-C, allowing attachment of various devices while providing 90W of power for charging and data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps.
The monitor also features a built-in 4K camera that conveniently connects to the back of the display using a “pogo pin” setup. No cables or additional equipment are required.
It also offers a tilting mechanism and an Auto Track feature, ensuring users stay in the shot, much like Apple’s Center Stage feature.
Equipped with a full Samsung Tizen smart TV interface, the ViewFinity S9 and previous ViewFinity monitors can be used for entertainment as well as professional work.
This versatility makes it an excellent option for editors who work in small spaces, where one monitor can serve both work and leisure purposes.
Make sure to mark your calendars for August when the Samsung ViewFinity S9 will become available for purchase at a price of $1,599.99.
