Samsung launches ViewFinity S9 5K monitor in South Korea

Samsung has launched the ViewFinity S9 5K monitor in South Korea. This monitor is made for media professionals and creators who need a color-accurate screen for their work. The ViewFinity S9 was first showcased earlier this year at the CES 2023 expo in the US, and it is a successor to the ViewFinity S8 that was launched last year.

ViewFinity S9 5K monitor is now available for pre-order in South Korea

The ViewFinity S9 (S90PC) monitor is priced at KRW 1.9 million (around $1,457). The monitor can be pre-ordered from today, and the monitor will be available in stores starting July 3, 2023. It features a 27-inch VA QLED panel with 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880 pixels) and a pixel density of 218ppi. Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, creators can view and edit 4K images and videos without scaling them. Samsung claims that the monitor can reproduce 99% of colors in the DCI-P3 color space and has a peak brightness of up to 600 nits. It has a height-adjustable stand that can pivot and tilt the screen. It can also be used with a VESA mount for added flexibility.

In addition to color calibration at the factory, Samsung has also introduced an easy color calibration feature that lets users calibrate the monitor’s colors using a smartphone (via the SmartThings app). The ViewFinity S9 has a matte finish on the screen to reduce glares and reflections from nearby light sources. It has a Thunderbolt 4 port that supports display signals and charges a connected device with up to 90W of power. The monitor runs Tizen and has all the audio and video streaming apps. It also comes with a remote controller. It comes with a 4K Slim Fit webcam that can be attached magnetically.

Hoon Jeong, VP of the Visual Display division at Samsung Electronics, said, “The 5K ultra-high resolution monitor Viewfinity S9 is a product that integrates Samsung Electronics’ long-term concerns and know-how to realize sophisticated color expression. We will present products that reflect various needs and present a new standard for high-resolution monitors.”
