The Samsung ViewFinity S9 Series 5K monitor is on sale for $849, a 47% discount from its original $1,599.99 price. This 27'' monitor supports DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, making it compatible with both Windows and Apple devices—a handy feature if you work across multiple platforms. Its matte display is said to minimize reflections, while its Intelligent Eye Care feature optimizes brightness, cuts down on blue light, and eliminates screen flickering, to improve your overall viewing comfort.
The monitor includes a tilt- and height-adjustable stand and allows for complete screen customization through Smart Calibration. You'll also find a built-in SlimFit 4K camera in the package, though it’s worth noting that the camera doesn’t swivel sideways, according to user feedback. And for those who use Apple products, you can mirror or extend your display using Apple AirPlay. Additionally, Samsung says you can enjoy gaming directly on the ViewFinity S9 through the Samsung Gaming Hub without needing a PC or console. It also comes with built-in smart TV apps for easy streaming. However, some users have reported connectivity issues, so that's something to think about.
When compared to the Apple Studio Display, which is priced at $1,439 (down from $1,599), the Samsung ViewFinity S9 presents a more affordable alternative with competitive features.
