Smart Monitor M9 (M90F): OLED Picture, Intelligent Performance

The Smart Monitor M9 introduces QD-OLED technology to the Smart Monitor lineup for the first time. Its 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel delivers deep contrast and vibrant colour, offering an immersive visual experience across productivity, streaming and gaming. Samsung OLED Safeguard+ helps maintain screen integrity over time with a proprietary cooling system designed to reduce the risk of burn-in. The M9 also features a Glare-Free display to minimise reflections and ensure consistent visibility and comfort — even in bright lighting conditions.[1]

The M9 is powered by AI Picture Optimiser, 4K AI Upscaling Pro[2] and Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) Pro, which work together to enhance picture and sound quality in real time based on content and surroundings. Whether users are watching, creating or multitasking, the display adapts automatically to deliver optimised performance.

The M9 also serves as a smart entertainment hub with access to popular streaming apps, Samsung TV Plus and Samsung Gaming Hub — which enables cloud-based gaming without a connected console or PC[3]. With a 165Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time (GtG), the M9 supports smooth, fast-moving visuals ideal for high-performance use.[4]

The M9 features a slim metal design that blends premium aesthetics with functional form, creating a modern look that complements any workspace. The Smart Monitor M9 has also earned a Pantone Validated certification from Pantone. This certification highlights its advanced adaptive colour technology, which ensures an exceptional colour reproduction capability that meets Pantone’s rigorous standards for authentic colour that is nearly indistinguishable to the human eye under standard lighting conditions.[5]

Samsung’s Senior Director of Display, and Brand Memory, Phil Gaut says “Samsung’s excited to showcase the new Smart Monitor M8 at Semi Permanent. With flexible work and hybrid lifestyles leading our everyday, more of us are looking for ways to get the most of our spaces within the home and we look forward to interacting with attendees to inspire how they can best work from home.

It’s the seamless integration of the Smart Monitor M8 that enhances hybrid lifestyles, that naturally connects with the Semi Permanent festival and its audience. New York-based Scottish designer, Jonathan Saunders, known for his unique use of colour, pattern and modernist design, epitomises this new way of life following his career path and pivotal approach to his passions.

“Semi Permanent is all about connecting and inspiring the creative community with best-in-class leaders in the field, and so it makes complete sense for the festival to partner with Samsung to launch the Smart Monitor M8.  The way in which we all work, watch and live has evolved dramatically over the past twok years, and with that, so too have our technology needs.  The Smart Monitor M8 is a fantastic piece of superior technology, that delivers by servicing the multiple needs of today’s world and it’s also visually appealing thanks to the modern design,” said Jonathan Saunders.
