[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ViewFinity S9 5K IPS Smart Monitor is an excellent feature-rich monitor that has everyone covered on productivity and beyond. The first step with ViewFinity S9 5K is the packaging and the unboxing/set up experience. Thankfully, the packaging is not large and cumbersome.

The stand feels substantive, yet not overly heavy and allows the monitor to tilt up and down with ease. The monitor comes configured in landscape mode (horizontal) viewing, and can rotated for portrait mode (vertical) viewing after you tilt the monitor up first. The stand also has a designated space for cords to feed to through to the monitor connections. The result is a clean look on your desk setup.

Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of using the ViewFinity S9 computer monitor, and I must say it's nothing short of exceptional. This 5-star gem is a true masterpiece in the world of displays.
I use this for work, media consumption, graphic design, and music production. The ViewFinity S9's standout feature is its remarkable 5K high resolution. With 218 pixels per inch, it provides an expansive canvas that's perfect for those who demand incredible detail and true color representation. Whether you're working on creative projects or indulging in your favorite multimedia content, the clarity and vividness are simply breathtaking.
This monitor delivers unparalleled color saturation and detail, making your work come to life with vibrant brilliance. What's more, the factory-calibrated color accuracy ensures that you get true color representation right out of the box, eliminating any need for manual adjustments.
The camera is also phenomenal for work and video conferencing. I'm a therapist and do home sessions with clients over Zoom, and I can't believe the quality of the camera. In today's remote work era, this feature is invaluable for staying connected and maintaining the highest quality communication.
The ViewFinity S9 is a game-changer in the world of computer monitors. Its 5K resolution, exceptional color accuracy, anti-glare technology, and versatile connectivity options make it a must-have for professionals and creatives alike. If you're looking for a monitor that takes your computing experience to the next level, the ViewFinity S9 is an investment you won't regret.

Beauty and Brains -- in a monitor!
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: Niegelw

Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My thoughts on ViewFinity S9.
Out of the box, the monitor looks sleek and super nice. Simplistic yet classy. It was easy to setup -- click the base to the stand. Hook up the monitor to the stand and wait for the click. Plug in and that's it! The Viewfinity experience begins!
It's not your ordinary monitor as it can work immediately out of the box. This monitor comes with a remote -- why? It's your total entertainment center. This comes with preinstalled apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Youtube, and access to Free TV to name a few. It has built in speakers which is ok -- althought I somehow expected a bit better sound experience. But it's much better than my previous monitor that only has a display but no sound. It definitely delivers the entertainment you needed right at your desk with no additional devices needed.
The Ergonomic stand makes it easy to adjust how to best use the monitor for productivity. Tilt it upward or downward, slide it to the top of the ergonomic stand and create extra space to bring your laptop right below your monitor, or slide it down and lave your laptop to have an extended screen view. It's up to you! Wanna have a different view, slide it to the top and turn it 90 degrees and have a vertical monitor perfect for YouTube Shorts! The monitor includes a multi-view function that allows me to watch TV on one side and work on the other, I could also connect 2 laptops and work side by side through split screenI love this feature -- it's definitely a convenience factor!
Wireless Connectivity is what made me fall in love with this. Getting rid of cables is a big thing for me. I was able to eliminate my Hub/ docking station, my external webcam, my laptop charger-- making my desk extra clean and clutter free. The ability to connect wirelessly -- or with a single USB-C cable to my laptop is already good, but having that usb connected to the monitor and not just extend my screen to the majestic 5k display -- but actually charges my laptop at 90W is another cable free convenience!
There's also a built in Camera that connects with magnetic pin right at the top of the monitor. Another awesome wirefree solution! The camera pans digitally to keep you center of the video
Some things I wish it would improve is support for additional productivity apps as it only supports Google Meet for video calls -- it would have been great to allow support for Zoom and MS Teams or other meeting platform.
Overall, It's a great monitor to have!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung S9 Viewfinity 5K Monitor: A Visual Marvel
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: BrainDoc
from Beavercreek
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S9 Viewfinity 5K (LS27C900PANXZA) monitor is nothing short of a visual masterpiece that has truly revolutionized my computing experience. With its jaw-dropping 5K high resolution, it provides a sprawling canvas that brings out the finest details and delivers colors that feel incredibly true-to-life. The DCI-P3 99% color gamut and 600 nits of brightness are a game-changer, saturating my content with vibrancy. What was neat is being able to use my Galaxy phone to calibrate the monitor.
As a healthcare professional, integrating the Samsung S9 monitor into my daily routine for reading MRI and CT scans of the brain has been nothing short of transformative. It's not just a monitor; it's become an essential part of my diagnostic toolkit. The 5K high resolution and precise color reproduction bring every scan to life with an unprecedented level of detail. I can't emphasize enough how crucial this is when making critical medical decisions based on complex imaging data.
The matte display is great during long hours of analysis, as it eliminates distractions and allows me to focus entirely on the scans. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a world of difference when you're dealing with life-changing diagnoses.
However, it's important to note that my experience with the monitor wasn't without its hiccups. One notably frustrating issue I encountered was related to audio output when using a Lenovo Thinkpad docking station. Despite the monitor's excellence in visual performance, I found that sound output via the dock, using the provided mini DisplayPort cable, simply did not work as expected. This was a significant source of frustration, as I had hoped for a seamless, all-in-one solution for my workspace. It required a workaround, such as using separate audio connections, which felt like a cumbersome addition to an otherwise outstanding monitor. Additionally, the modular 4K camera, while offering crystal-clear video quality, was not recognized by my PC and can only be utilized within the Samsung monitor's proprietary software.
The Samsung S9 monitor clearly outshines the Apple HomeCinema display in several key aspects. First and foremost, when it comes to ergonomics, the Samsung monitor offers a more versatile and user-friendly experience. It features a fully adjustable stand.
It's my hope that software or firmware updates can resolve this audio output and camera issues.
I received this product to test from the MFG for my honest opinion.

Exquisite design

Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the sleek and professional design of this monitor. I work remotely from my bedroom — during the day, the 5K display is great for my marketing image and video campaign asset reviews; at night, it serves as my smart TV, I can play YouTube/Netflix/additional streaming services, and control it from the comfort of my own bed using the remote. I am able to connect and control in multiple ways — airplay, usb-C, use Alexa voice control or the remote — making this the smartest device in my household! My friends have complimented the aesthetics of this monitor when they saw this set up.

Best monitor I have ever used
on October 3, 2023
Posted by: PumpkinLatte
from Alpharetta
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a tech enthusiast and someone who always buys the latest technology, I have used a lot of monitors. This Samsun Viewfinity S9 is by far my favorite.
The functionality and design are 10/10. The monitor is extremely sleek and would look great on any desk. The silver and black combination are timeless. I have gotten a number of compliments from people who have seen my new monitor.
The 5k Display is truly a gamechanger for anyone who works in the creative field as the quality of your photos and videos can truly be appreciated.
The 5K camera is amazing and I have no complaints. The matte display is also easier on the eyes and makes working in sunny conditions a breeze.
The 27 inch screen is the perfect size as it is big enough to see all my programs and applications but not too big that I cannot view the whole screen at once.
This monitor is pricey but it is worth it for all the features. I plan to use this monitor for many years to come.
