Designed to meet the needs of today’s businesses and consumers who require excellent picture quality and comfortable, ergonomic design, Samsung offers 12 different High-Resolution monitors across three series – the S8, S7 and S6. All models deliver more than 1 billion colours for a vivid and vibrant image, enhanced by HDR 10 technology. The displays feature colour vividness and clarity through a 178-degree wide viewing angle designed for professional work environments, delivering an uncompromising viewing experience from any angle.

“As demand for higher resolution monitors continues to increase, Samsung plans to continue to lead the market by unveiling new products that meet our customers’ needs.” said Hyesung Ha, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our 2021 High-Resolution lineup delivers dazzling picture quality and powers enhanced performance, all the while ensuring user comfort with a streamlined, eco-conscious design.”

Additionally, all monitors are Intelligent Eye Care certified from TUV Rheinland, the first in the industry to receive this recognition. Adaptive Picture eye care technology optimises 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 monitors also feature a special eye-saver mode to reduce blue light emissions which can cause eye strain, and Flicker Free, protecting the user’s eyes from any flickering on the screen.

The lineup has also been acknowledged for energy efficiency thanks to Eco Saving Plus technology, in addition to receiving the Swedish Confederation Of Professional Employees (TCO) display certification for next-gen sustainable products, the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) ecolabel certification for electronic products, and an Energy Star certification for energy-saving products. Eco Saving Plus technology reduces up to 10% of power consumption by adjusting the brightness of black sections automatically while maintaining bright and vivid picture quality.

S8: Superior visuals and ergonomic design

As the flagship model in the High-Resolution monitor lineup, the S8 is packed with key features for both businesses and creative professionals. This model provides Ultra-High Definition (UHD) resolution and is available in 27- and 32-inch options. In addition to supporting UHD and over 1 billion colours, the S8 delivers a 99% sRGB colour gamut for users to enjoy more vivid content.

The S8 is capable of blazing fast 10Gbps data transmission through its USB-C type port, while the S80UA specifically offers up to 90W charging. The S8 also provides a variety of connectivity features including USB 3.0 and a USB hub to provide enhanced usability and versatility. The flat borderless design maximises comfort and minimises distractions while enabling near-seamless dual-monitor setups. Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mount compatibility and Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) offer a variety of tilt, swivel and pivot control points, allowing users to mount their monitor in any environment. The slim metal stand and narrow depth also take up less desk space for a cleaner, seamless work setup.

S7 & S6: Simple and seamless for any setup

Like the S8, the S7 series delivers UHD resolution in 27- and 32-inch sizes, with ultra-slim stand, 178-degree wide viewing angle panel and vibrant colour gamut. The virtually borderless design empowers users to stay focused on their work, supported by a convenient tilting function.

The S6 series is available in 34-, 32-, 27- and 24-inch sizes, supporting not only QHD (2,560×1,440) resolution, but also PBP (Picture By Picture) and PIP (Picture In Picture) features, enabling users to multitask effortlessly and efficiently. The S60UA monitors not only support Daisy Chain technology, allowing extended multiple screen and screen reproduction, but also LAN cable (RJ45 compatibility), transforming the monitor into a Docking Station Hub. Built-in Wake On Lan (WOL) functionality allows the connected computer to be powered on remotely from another device.

The S65UA 34-inch monitor in Ultra-Wide Quad High-Definition (UWQHD) offers a 1000R curvature, further enhancing productivity with a 21:9 aspect ratio for optimal multi-tasking. The S6 series is also supported by customisable swivel, tilt and rotation functionality, allowing users to find their perfect viewing angle as they can swivel the screen and even rotate between portrait and landscape modes.

The Samsung High-Resolution monitor lineup will be available this spring in a variety of models, sizes and specifications. Please see the specification table for further information about each model.

But aren’t we all fed up of seeing those blurry images that don’t show the firework off to its best? To help, Samsung has compiled the ultimate step by step guide on how to make your firework photos even better and perfect for sharing to your social media pages.

STEP ONE: A STEADY HAND

• Stability is key when taking the perfect firework photo
• If you have access to a small tripod, it will help with the steady hand needed when in low light conditions
• If you don’t have access to a tripod, find somewhere to stand that can help stabilise, for instance sitting down or leaning against a solid structure
• For Galaxy Note8 users this becomes even easier thanks to the 12MP Dual camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) which lets you capture incredibly sharp images

STEP TWO: NO FLASH

• Do not use flash, although you are in low light conditions, the flash won’t be able to light up enough of the sky to make a big impact
• Results will be better without and will show the depth of colour needed for the perfect firework photo

STEP THREE:  NO DIGITAL ZOOM

• Do not use zoom – your camera will capture more detail if you aren’t zoomed into the firework images
• In dual capture mode on the Note8, both rear cameras will take a photo simultaneously, a close up and a wide-angle shot that shows the entire background
• Combined with a bigger Infinity Display you will be able to capture and see all the detail needed

STEP FOUR: SET FOR SUCCESS

• Get the settings right:
• HDR (High Dynamic Range) should be turned off – long exposure slows down the capture which won’t be ideal for burst shoot images
• ISO (sensitivity of the digital camera sensor) – High ISO helps pick out details in the dark, however as fireworks essentially light up the sky, set the ISO to a low value such as 100 to reduce the chance of overexposure
• Aperture – adjust after tweaking the ISO setting to fine tune the image brightness as it controls the light coming into the camera
• If the above feels a little scary, set all the settings to automatic and use exposure compensation functions to adjust the brightness of your images, post capture

STEP FIVE: BURST SHOOT

• Just like taking the perfect selfie, more images the better
• Capture multiple images and as many as you can – use the burst shoot function where you can if you feel you aren’t fast enough
• When using the wide-angle lens, the Dual Pixel sensor includes rapid auto focus, so you can capture sharp and clear shots quickly even in low-light

STEP SIX: TRY ANOTHER ANGLE

• Try pointing your camera away from the sky
• Some of the best photos of fireworks are selfies with fireworks in the background
• With the bokeh effect feature in Samsung devices, you will be surprised at the beautiful colours and selfies you can create
