Samsung ViewFinity S9, an Astounding New 5K Monitor

Samsung Electronics America today announced it is expanding its ViewFinity monitor lineup with the 27-inch ViewFinity S9 (S90PC model). The launch of the ViewFinity S9 strengthens the Samsung high-resolution monitor lineup following the introduction of the ViewFinity S8 (S80PB model) in June 2022, which featured an Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution. The new ViewFinity S9 includes all the tools needed in creative industries like graphic design and photography, and was named a CES Innovation Award honoree in 2023.

Bringing users’ ideas to vibrant life

The new ViewFinity S9 offers a 27-inch screen with a 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880). Its display offers 50% more workspace than other 4K UHD monitors with exceptional picture and text clarity. It allows professionals to work on ultra-high-resolution content without the need to zoom in, so they can view their projects in 5K while keeping all their editing tools visible on the screen.

With its 99% DCI-P3¹ and 218 PPI (pixels per inch), the ViewFinity S9 provides more saturated and vivid colors with crisper details, perfect for those who rely on visual fidelity.² Furthermore, a typical brightness of 600 cd/m² makes it easy to work in nearly any lighting environment. Samsung calibration technology helps users achieve the accurate color they want. During production, the monitor’s color is factory calibrated for incredible Delta E <2¹ accuracy immediately out of the box.³

Simplifying Smart Calibration with a smartphone

The ViewFinity S9 uses the Smart Calibration feature controlled with smartphones⁴ which is the first in the industry. Users can conveniently customize the screen for precise settings without expensive, complex calibration equipment whenever they want. Using the SmartThings app, users can choose to calibrate in Basic mode for a quick and easy adjustment of white balance and gamma settings, or they can use Professional mode for complete control of color temperature, luminance, color space and gamma settings. Users can start this process simply by pointing their smartphone camera at the ViewFinity S9, and after calibration, they can view a report detailing the adjustments made and the Delta E color accuracy.

Making work productive and entertainment fun
