Samsung takes on Apple and LG with the new ViewFinity S9 5K monitor

Ahead of CES 2023 event, Samsung today announced the new ViewFinity S9 (S90PC) to compete with Apple and LG in the professional display market. The ViewFinity S9 monitor features a 5K 27-inch screen with 5,120 x 2,880 resolution, support for wide color gamut of 99% DCI-P3, and average Delta E ≦21 color accuracy for precise color representation.

Samsung has included a built-in Color Calibration Engine in this monitor to ensure precise screen color and brightness. Users can use the Samsung Smart Calibration app to adjust white balance, Gamma and RGB color balance. Thanks to the Matte Display, you will have reduced light reflection and glare.

Users can connect devices to this monitor through USB-C and Thunderbolt 4. It also comes with a 4K SlimFit camera that supports native video conferencing through apps such as Google Meet available in the Samsung Smart Hub.

Along with the new ViewFinity S9, Samsung also announced the Smart Monitor M8 (M80C) which now comes in a new 27-inch size in addition to the existing 32-inch size. This 4K monitor is available in four colors: Daylight Blue, Spring Green, Sunset Pink or Warm White. Also, the screen can now pivot 90 degrees.
