Odyssey OLED G6 and Odyssey OLED G8 debut first 27” 4K OLED gaming monitor and first OLED screen with 500Hz refresh rate 

Largest 16:9 4K ViewFinity launches in 37” for maximum desk-based productivity  

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled its 2025 Smart Monitor, Odyssey Gaming Monitor and ViewFinity Monitor lineups, all of which will be on display at Samsung’s First Look at CES on January 5.

The 2025 models raise the bar for monitors by bringing AI features, industry-first screen size options into the OLED market and new form factors that ignite the passions of users worldwide — whether they’re working, gaming or creating.

“With the new monitors in our industry-leading lineups, we’re giving people more ways to explore the content and connections that they love in new ways,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Because of our new AI capabilities and size options, 2025 will see users across the world find the right monitor that fits them.”

Smart Monitor M9: Entertainment and Efficiency Get an AI Upgrade

The Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) introduces industry-first AI features that enhance entertainment and interactivity through smart picture adaptation and search functions.

As the first monitor to integrate on-device AI, the M9 features AI Picture Optimizer, which analyzes input signals to determine the type of content being viewed — such as gaming, video or productivity applications — and automatically adjust the display settings for an optimized visual experience.[1] For gamers, the AI goes further by recognizing the genre of the game being played and fine-tune the picture settings to deliver an optimal and immersive experience for every playstyle.[2]

The M9 also incorporates 4K AI Upscaling Pro, which uses advanced AI processing and neural networks to upgrade lower-resolution content up to 4K quality.[3] By analyzing input signals and existing image data, this feature delivers crystal-clear visuals with enhanced detail.

These smart and personalized features enhance the hardware performance of the M9. It features a 32” 4K OLED screen with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for incredible details and vivid colours. Its thin design, along with the Easy Setup Stand, allows users to effortlessly create their ideal workspace, and a built-in 4K camera makes it convenient to use in any environment.

Samsung Odyssey Series: Two Industry Firsts With a 27” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor and an OLED Screen With a 500Hz Refresh Rate

The Odyssey gaming monitor series powers up innovative performance in new sizes with the 2025 Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 models.

The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF model) is the first 27” 4K (3,840 x 2,160) OLED gaming monitor in the world. The screen packs in 165 PPI (pixels per inch) with a refresh rate of 240Hz. The level of pixel density and screen smoothness gives game creators and players a new level of detail and picture quality as they build and explore realistic gaming worlds.

On the other hand, the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF model) redefines speed as the first-ever OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate on its QHD (2,560 x 1,440) screen. The blazing fast speed and ultra-smooth gameplay unleashes the potential for gamers who demand the best to gain a winning edge from device performance.

Both models deliver a response time of 0.03ms (GTG) for smooth visuals and crisp gameplay, even in fast-paced gaming environments. They also support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and are NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, allowing them to provide smooth pictures with less tear and flickering. VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400[4] delivers rich darks without bloom or colour bleed, making the most of the OLED screen, while OLED Glare Free screens keep the focus on the game by reducing distracting reflections and glare.

Samsung is also showcasing the 27” Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) gaming monitor at CES. Thanks to its lenticular lens attached to the front of the panel and its front stereo camera, the Odyssey 3D provides a customizable 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. It can also add a new depth to content by using AI to analyze and convert 2D video into 3D.

ViewFinity S8: A Bigger Canvas for Productivity and Creativity

The 37” ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model) is the largest 16:9 4K monitor to date. Its screen is approximately 34% larger than the previous model[5] and is designed to maximize productivity, immersion and efficiency. More information can be seen at a glance while making the most out of desk space — ushering in a new era of large, high-productivity monitors.

With its sRGB 99% colour gamut faithfully presenting colours on the 4K (3,840 x 2,160) screen, the ViewFinity S8 delivers the colour representation and brightness necessary for professional users to do their best work.

The 2025 ViewFinity S8 has been certified by TÜV Rheinland[6] for ‘Ergonomic Workspace Display,’ recognizing its ergonomic design that enhances work immersion, task efficiency and productivity. TÜV-certified[7] Intelligent Eye Care reduces fatigue in users’ eyes by adjusting the colour temperature based on the environment’s lighting. Eye saver mode and a flicker-free feature also protect eyes from strain[8].

With a simple Easy Setup Stand, the S8 also keeps productivity high through a built-in KVM[9] switch, turning the monitor into a single command station for multitasking across several devices with only one mouse and keyboard. Devices can also be connected and charged at the same time with a 90W USB-C connection, making it easy to quickly manage all the accessories a user needs.

Smart features powered by AI bring enhanced entertainment to Smart Monitor M8 and Odyssey OLED G8, while new ViewFinity models enable more efficient workplaces

Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. announced today the global launch of its 2024 Odyssey OLED gaming monitor, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity monitor lineups.

These new and updated models bring features that people want — as well as some they don’t expect — to deliver new experiences, no matter how they use their monitors. The Odyssey lineup brings a next-level OLED experience and new AI capabilities[1] to the Odyssey OLED G8; the Smart Monitor lineup heightens joy with more enhanced entertainment features, plus the Smart Monitor M8 is powered by AI; and the ViewFinity lineup boosts connectivity to create a complete workstation.

“Our latest monitor lineups deliver a breadth of options to users globally and create better experiences, no matter how people use them,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “From the groundbreaking AI-powered Odyssey OLED gaming monitor to multi-device experiences in the Smart Monitor and ViewFinity lineups, Samsung remains committed to redefining the market and delivering cutting-edge technologies to users everywhere.”

Odyssey OLED Series: Visual Excellence With New Burn-In Prevention Features

The 2024 Odyssey OLED models expand Samsung’s offerings of next-generation OLED performance with the new Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model).

The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32” Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time for ultra smooth and responsive gameplay. The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, supporting a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time make it easy for gamers to keep up with fast-moving gameplay.

▲ The Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) and T1 team (from left: ‘Keria’, ‘Oner,’ ‘Faker’, ‘Gumayusi’ and ‘Zeus’)

The new Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor powered by AI. The NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which is the same processor Samsung uses in its 2024 8K TV, upscales content to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub [2] and the monitor’s native Smart TV apps for higher resolution in gaming and entertainment.[3]

Both new OLED models feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a new proprietary burn-in protection technology. This technology is the first in the world to prevent burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor. Additionally, the Dynamic Cooling System evaporates and condenses a coolant to diffuse heat five times more effectively than the older graphite sheet method[4], which prevents burn-in by reducing temperature at the core. The monitor also detects static images like logos and taskbars, automatically reducing their brightness to provide another means of burn-in prevention.[5]

The Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6 both deliver incredible OLED picture quality with a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.), while FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen lag and screen tearing[6].

Samsung’s new OLED Glare Free technology[7] also preserves colour accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to offer an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimized, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialized hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.

Both monitors feature a super slim metal design that gives them a distinct identity, while Core Lighting+ enhances entertainment and gaming experiences with ambient lighting that synchronizes with the screen. The ergonomic stand also makes long sessions more comfortable with adjustable height, plus tilt and swivel support.

The new Odyssey OLED monitors are the next entry to expand Samsung’s OLED monitor market leadership. Their release comes after Samsung achieved the top position in global sales in the OLED monitor market within only one year of launching its first OLED model.[8] This achievement underscores Samsung’s rapid ascent in the competitive landscape of OLED monitors while reinforcing its commitment to diversifying its gaming monitor lineup with models that leverage the company’s proprietary OLED technology.

Smart Monitor M8: AI Processing for Crystal Clear Video and Audio

The updated Smart Monitor lineup brings together a complete multi-device experience into one hub for smart entertainment and great productivity. The upgraded 2024 models include the M8 (M80D model), M7 (M70D model), and the M5 (M50D model).

The upgraded 32” 4K UHD Smart Monitor M8 introduces new features powered by AI with the NQM AI processor, taking entertainment experiences to the next level. AI upscaling brings lower resolution content up to nearly 4K[9], and Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyze background noise in the user’s environment to optimize dialogue in the user’s content.[10] 360 Audio Mode[11] is available on the M8, which pairs with Galaxy Buds to create an immersive sound environment. The built-in SlimFit Camera also makes it easy to conduct video calls through mobile applications with Samsung Dex.[12]

New to the entire line of Smart Monitors is a Workout Tracker,[13] which pairs with a Galaxy Watch to enable real-time health data on the screen, even while streaming content. This makes it easier to track workout goals and can make working out more enjoyable.

These new features enhance the already impressive Smart Monitor functionality. Smart TV apps and Samsung TV Plus[14] provide instant access to a wide range of streaming services and live content, without needing to boot up a PC or connect to other devices.[15]

The M7 is available in 32” and 43” with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 300 nits (Typ.) and a gray to gray (GtG) response time of 4ms. The M5 is available in 27” and 32”, with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080), a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms.

ViewFinity Series: Maximizing Creativity and Ease of Use

Optimized for creatives and professionals, and built with responsible practices, the latest ViewFinity lineup includes the ViewFinity S8 (S80UD and S80D models), ViewFinity S7 (S70D model) and the ViewFinity S6 (S60UD and S60D models).

The updated 2024 ViewFinity monitors[16] are made with a minimum of 10% recycled plastic and do not apply chemical sprays to the plastic components.[17] The packaging also uses glue instead of staples for easier disassembly.

The Easy Setup Stand is put together with one quick click, requiring no tools or screws, making it fast and easy to set up and enjoy the ViewFinity’s vibrant display. Every 2024 ViewFinity monitor supports HDR10 and the display of 1 billion colours, offering accurate colour representation, while also integrating TÜV-Rheinland-certified Intelligent Eye Care features to alleviate eye strain during prolonged work periods.

The ViewFinity S8 offers 27” and 32” screen options, each with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a refresh rate of 60Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.). They also feature a USB hub for easy connectivity and a height-adjustable stand. The S80UD model includes a new KVM switch for easy connection and switching between two different input devices, as well as a USB-C port that allows users to charge devices with up to 90W of power.

The ViewFinity S7 is available in 27” and 32” options, each with UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.) and a refresh rate of 60Hz. The ViewFinity S6 is available in 24”, 27” and 32” options, each with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a refresh rate of 100Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.), including a USB hub and height-adjustable stand. The S60UD model also includes a built-in KVM switch and a USB-C port (up to 90W charging).

The era of dull and lifeless desks, with black monitors and unsightly wires, is officially over. As people spend more time at home, they are more eager to personalize their home office. To provide users with a range of customization options to fit any lifestyle, Samsung Electronics has added four new colours to the Smart Monitor M8 lineup that can liven up any space.

The four colours — Warm White, Sunset Pink, Daylight Blue and Spring Green — were inspired by the theme, ‘Shades of Nature.’ These soft pastel colours can boost your mood at home, whether you want to feel calm and comfortable or fully energized.

Do you want to transform your ordinary desk into one containing playful colours and innovative features? Samsung suggests using one of the Smart Monitor M8’s four colours to create a personalized ‘deskterior,’ a portmanteau of ‘desk’ and ‘interior.’ Read on to discover how this colourful upgrade can refresh your desk space in style.

Invigorate Your Home Office With Spring Green

After a long day of work, treat your eyes to the Smart Monitor M8 in Spring Green. By picking up some office supplies in different shades of pastel green, you can turn your space into a playful and botanical-inspired sanctuary.

 
Deskterior Tip for Spring Green

• Try placing air-purifying plants on your desk to improve your mood after long working hours.
• Is keeping plants alive too difficult? Try decorating your wall with posters of plants instead for the same vibrant atmosphere but with less maintenance.

The Smart Monitor M8 handles all your necessary tasks without the need for a separate PC or laptop, allowing you to create a neat and clean deskterior. The Smart Monitor M8 allows you to search the Internet, check email and access Microsoft 365^[1] simply by connecting to Wi-Fi. Conveniently, you can continue your work by logging into your account and uploading files directly to the cloud. Notably, you can access your work desktop remotely and remain as agile and productive as if you were in the office.

Video conferencing while working from home is now a breeze, as the Smart Monitor M8 comes with a SlimFit camera which can be conveniently attached or detached from the monitor at any time. Additionally, Eye Saver Mode reduces blue light, the main culprit of eye fatigue, and Flicker Free technology ensures a comfortable viewing experience by lessening screen flickering. Not only does the design and colour of the Smart Monitor M8 minimize eye strain, but the display itself also helps protect your vision and improve work efficiency.

Enjoy Your Hobbies to the Fullest With Daylight Blue

With the Smart Monitor M8, you can decorate a space dedicated to your favourite hobbies, accompanied by the colour of Daylight Blue. Enhance your room with travel souvenirs, trinkets or celebrity merchandise in complementary shades of blue to create the ultimate deskterior that expresses your unique personality.

 
Deskterior Tip for Daylight Blue

• Dress up your plain white table with a checkered tablecloth to add a quick pop of colour and style to your home.
• Look for a colourful mousepad that adds beauty, personality and practicality to your space.

The Smart Monitor M8’s next-level connectivity with your mobile device can help you watch your favourite content on a bigger screen. Simply connect your smartphone to the Smart Monitor by using Tap View^[2] or Screen Mirroring. With a single click, you can be transported instantly to another country or your favourite singer’s concert, all thanks to the monitor’s large screen and rich picture quality. Samsung DeX^[3] also enables multitasking and transforms your smartphone into a touchpad. Using two screens at once, you can take an online drawing class or watch videos of your favourite music group on a larger display while still using your phone as a phone.

The Smart Monitor series also boasts Apple AirPlay2 integration^[4], which allows users to easily view movies, music and photos saved on their smartphones or laptops on the big screen.

Relax in Your Home Cinema With Warm White

After a busy day, one of the best ways to recharge and unwind is by streaming your favourite movies in a home cinema. For a cozy atmosphere, you can pair your monitor’s Warm White colour with wood accents to warm up your space and keep you feeling comfortable.

The Smart Monitor M8’s flat-back design with 11.4mm of thickness uses your space more effectively and maintains a minimalistic, café-like aesthetic — so it’s the ideal place to enjoy a sweet treat while binging on your favourite shows.

 
Deskterior Tip for Warm White

• Use small pieces of décor to keep distractions to a minimum while watching a movie.
• Fill your space with calming colours and wood tones for a comfortable feel.

You can build your perfect home cinema using only the Smart Monitor M8, as it provides a wide range of OTT services^[5] such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV on a large screen via Wi-Fi. There’s also no need for a keyboard or mouse while watching a movie — the Samsung Smart Monitor’s remote control allows you to use the up, down, left and right buttons on the remote to control the mouse cursor from your sofa or bed.

Other features that make the viewing experience even more satisfying include the device’s UHD resolution, HDR10+ support, 2.2Ch stereo speakers and Adaptive Sound+ which automatically analyses the monitor’s surroundings to optimize its sound quality. Are you worried about your posture while watching TV? The Smart Monitor M8 includes a height adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt functionality, allowing users to find the perfect position for binge-watching.

Celebrate Spring With Sunset Pink

For fans of flowers, the Smart Monitor M8 in Sunset Pink instantly transports you to a cherry blossom festival in full bloom. Adding a white vase of beautiful flowers to your desk creates a bright and optimistic atmosphere that’s ideal for any home.

 
Deskterior Tip for Sunset Pink

• Pair your monitor with a white or light-coloured vase and other accessories, which go best with pink.
• Use round, soft-shaped trinkets to create a kind, gentle and comfortable atmosphere.

If you’re inspired by the floral scent and craving a song for the spring season, the Smart Monitor M8 is a ideal solution. Even if your monitor is turned off, you can still play a perfect song for spring by talking to Bixby^[6]. The Smart Monitor M8’s built-in microphone lets you manage your device with just your voice so you can focus on your hobbies, like writing or drawing, instead of using a keyboard or a mouse.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M8 complements your daily life and personal style to make your space more colourful. Regardless of your daily routine, you can use the Smart Monitor M8’s expanded colour options to customize your space and express your individuality. From hobbies to home cinema, the Smart Monitor M8 can transform your boring desk into a vibrant deskterior, ideal for adding a splash of colour to any space.

Samsung Electronics Canada recently announced its latest Smart Monitor series, the M8, featuring an upgraded, stylish design. The versatile new M8 delivers Samsung’s iconic slim design in four new colours – Warm White, Sunset Pink, Daylight Blue, and Spring Green – available in 32-inches with UHD resolution and a SlimFit Cam.

First launched in November 2020, Samsung’s Smart Monitor series is a family of do-it-all screens designed for modern day users who demand a product that offers both functionality and entertainment at home. The M8 is not only a traditional monitor: it also allows users to enjoy a variety of OTT services^[1], including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV via Wi-Fi without having to connect to a PC or TV.

When it comes to style, the Smart Monitor M8 offers both space and work efficiency in an ultra-stylish design. The new model is 11.4mm thin, about three-quarters slimmer than the previous Samsung model.

Featuring a sophisticated flat-back design, the M8’s range of colours complements any setting based on the user’s personal preferences.

“From home offices to entertainment hubs to gaming displays, monitors are being used now more than ever,” said Pat Bugos, VP/Head of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Canada. “The new Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is capable of matching different consumer lifestyles and preferences. With a colour palette of four different colour options, the M8 provides a modern, minimalist look that suits any environment or setup design.”

When it comes to productivity, the Smart Monitor M8 has it all. The M8 provides an excellent home office environment without using a PC by connecting to various IT devices through the upgraded Smart Hub. The Workspace User Interface offers all services needed to work on one screen, helping users wirelessly connect to a Windows or Mac PC and efficiently use an extensive range of useful features, including Samsung DeX, Apple AirPlay 2^[2] and Microsoft 365^[3] cloud service, as well as mirroring content from a compatible smartphone to the M8.

Additionally, the Smart Monitor M8 has a magnetic and removable SlimFit Cam that can attach to the monitor while keeping desk space neat without any unsightly wires. The SlimFit Cam also features face tracking and auto zoom functions, swiftly identifying a person’s face when on screen and automatically focusing on the subject. In other words, it can follow and capture an individual speaker, a great option for active presentations or livestreaming.

The Smart Monitor M8 has an IoT hub called SmartThings Hub, where users can connect all their IoT devices wirelessly. The SmartThings app^[4] allows users to track IoT devices throughout the house easily with the app’s intuitive control panel, thus highlighting all information provided by other devices connected to the M8 such as a light switch and plug power^[5].

Equipped with a high-sensitivity Far Field Voice microphone, the assistant controls Bixby and Amazon Alexa using voice commands. In addition, the microphone uses an Always On Voice function, displaying conversation information on screen when Bixby is activated, even if the monitor screen is turned off.

To accompany the monitor’s wide array of features, the display offers adaptive picture technology, enhancing viewer comfort by automatically adjusting display brightness and colour temperature. The M8 also includes a height adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt functionality, allowing users to find an ideal position for every project, movie night or study session.

In January 2022, the Smart Monitor M8 earned CES Innovation Awards Honouree from the CTA (Consumer Technology Association) in recognition of a wide array of its display technologies.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is currently available for pre-order in Canada ahead of its official Canadian launch on April 20^th. For more information, please visit Samsung.com.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. recently announced new models in its monitor lineup that exemplify its leadership within the sector. The versatile new lineup delivers beautiful picture quality and intuitive features that give consumers more choice when selecting a monitor that fits their exact needs.

The 2022 monitor portfolio brings out the best experiences while working, gaming or watching content at home. Samsung’s latest monitors include features for high-performance gaming as well as smart and pro-level elements, such as the Odyssey’s Quantum Mini LED backlight panel and HDR 2000; the Smart Monitor’s do-it-all screen with smart features; and the High Resolution Monitor’s comfortable ergonomics.

“Samsung’s 2022 lineup represents the next generation in monitor innovation with offerings that meet the demands of competitive gamers, professional designers and everyone in between,” said Hyesung Ha, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “As the work and entertainment worlds continue to evolve, we are proud to deliver monitors that boost users’ experiences from the comfort of their homes.”

Odyssey Neo G8

As the world’s first monitor to feature a 4K (3,840×2,160) 1000R curved screen with 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time (GtG), Odyssey Neo G8 32” (Model Name: G85NB) is set to open a new chapter in gaming monitor innovation, offering razor-sharp performance for even the most dedicated PC gamers. Its performance matches its stunning picture quality featuring Quantum Mini LEDs, Quantum HDR 2000 with a 2,000nit peak brightness and a million-to-one static contrast ratio, bringing out the most subtle details for increased world building and immersion.

The new Odyssey Neo G8 is built with a similar design language as the Odyssey Neo G9, offering a sleek white exterior that stands out even when it’s turned off.  Beautiful colours leap off the screen into a user’s real environment with CoreSync lighting. The core lighting found on the backside of the monitor automatically detects colours on the screen and projects them in real life to create a deeper sense of immersion.

Smart Monitor M8

With an ultra-slim thickness of 11.4mm, which is about three-quarters thinner than the previous model, the 2022 Smart Monitor M8 32” (Model Name: M80B) provides space efficiency. Especially for those who value style, it features a sophisticated flat-back design with enhanced usability and comes in a new warm white colour that fits perfectly everywhere. The brilliant UHD panel provides 99% sRGB colour gamut while supporting 1.07 billion colours at 400nit brightness, showing every video, document or photo with near true-to-life accuracy.

Smart TV and productivity apps are built directly into the monitor, enabling seamless entertainment and work while serving as a SmartThings control hub, even without the need of a PC [1]. The 2022 Smart Monitor M8 32” is a great option for remote working. It comes with a movable magnetic SlimFit Cam that enables crystal-clear video calls when working from home. With a USB Type-C port enabling 65W charging connections, the Smart Monitor M8 provides a streamlined all-in-one workstation experience that doesn’t require an additional docking station.

High Resolution Monitor S8

The Samsung High Resolution Monitor S8 (Model Name: S80PB), available in 27” and 32” models, delivers professional-level UHD performance for creators and designers who need the highest levels of accuracy and range when working in the office or at home. Delivering up to 98% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, the S80PB provides an ultra-wide range of rich and nuanced colours. With Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display HDR 600[2], this high-resolution monitor provides an immersive viewing experience, bringing content to life as it was intended. As the world’s first UL (Underwriter Laboratories) verified Glare Free monitor, Matte Display is applied on the top of the panel, reducing light reflection even when not using a monitor hood, to provide a distraction-free working environment.

Both models feature USB Type-C 90W charging and LAN ports to help users create a simplified workstation that can charge laptops and mobile devices with no additional docking station required.

Built with the VESA mount compatibility standards, as well as a Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) featuring tilt, swivel and pivot control points, users can mount their monitor to suit any environment.

The Smart Monitor offers integrated media and productivity apps, versatile connectivity, built-in speakers and a solar cell-powered remote control[1].

As part of Samsung’s long-term sustainability program, the M7 43-inch includes an all-in-one solar powered remote made from recycled plastic, delivering eco-friendly efficiency with charging from indoor sunlight, lightbulbs, or a USB-C connection. In addition, the remote for other models has been partially crafted from recycled plastic for reduced carbon footprint and enhanced sustainability.

Utilizing the same features as the first-generation lineup, the Samsung Smart Monitor lineup provides numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones. Users can connect their personal mobile devices with just a quick tap using Tap View[3], Mirroring or with Apple AirPlay 2.

Samsung Electronics recently announced the global availability of its all-new Smart Monitor, an innovative, do-it-all screen that brings together a suite of features for work, learning and entertainment, all in a single display.

Designed to meet the new needs of today’s consumers, who are now working, learning and consuming entertainment at home, Samsung Smart Monitor incorporates powerful mobile and PC connectivity, remote home office and learning features as well as Smart Hub, a comprehensive entertainment hub that is similar to Samsung’s built-in Smart TV platform.

“The new Smart Monitor showcases Samsung’s continued commitment to industry-leading innovation in technology that understands and supports the lifestyles of our customers,” said Pat Bugos, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Home Entertainment, Samsung Electronics Canada. “Our new Smart Monitor has been designed to meet the demand for technology that serves the new normal for many Canadians as entertainment, work and education increasingly take place at-home. The Smart Monitor offers a one-screen solution to customers, bringing their display and entertainment needs together into one hub.”

The new Samsung Smart Monitor provides numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones. Users can connect their personal mobile devices with just a simple tap using Tap View[1], App Casting or Apple AirPlay 2. For a complete desktop experience using a mobile device, users can also connect to the monitor with Samsung DeX.

For home office and learning, the display operates Microsoft Office 365 applications[2] without a PC connection thanks to embedded Wi-Fi, allowing users to view, edit and save documents in the cloud directly from the monitor. Remote Access also allows users wirelessly and remotely access files from a PC or view content from a laptop, whether it is situated in the house or at the office. The USB Type-C port[3] allows for data, display and power — up to 65W — with just a single connection, keeping the area around the monitor clean and beautiful. Multiple USB ports and Bluetooth 4.2 allow for additional connection versatility while the display has a built-in two channel speaker.

When work is done, the display also operates as a complete entertainment hub with the ability to stream content with Samsung’s Smart Hub. The monitor’s app store allows users to stream their favourite content[4] even without a connection to a PC or mobile device. Content can easily be accessed with the supplied remote control which includes streaming service hot keys. The display can also be controlled by voice thanks to Bixby integration.

The Smart Monitor also features technology designed to make viewing more comfortable. Adaptive Picture optimizes picture quality for any viewing environment by automatically adjusting brightness and colour temperature in response to room conditions. This ensures the most comfortable viewing experience in any environment, reducing eye strain even after extended use. The monitor also features a special eye-saver mode to reduce blue light.

The monitor is available in two models at launch. The M7 supports Ultra-High Definition (UHD) resolution in 32-inch while the M5 supports Full HD (FHD) resolution in 32-inch and 27-inch options.

The Samsung Smart Monitor will be available in late November in Canada. For more information, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/.
