Front Runner of Monitors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S9 monitor with 5K definition is truly impressive in terms of display quality and clarity. Its high-resolution screen provides stunning visuals, making it a fantastic choice for creative professionals like me. The colors are vibrant, and the details are razor-sharp, which enhances the overall viewing experience. It covers a wide color gamut, making it suitable for tasks such as photo and video editing where color fidelity is crucial.
I love the fact that the screen is matte, witch helps with glare, especially in well lit environments, like an office. The height adjustment and tilt are easy to manage, and don’t require a lot of force.

The SMART feature of it is a big plus, as it comes with the Samsung Hub and a few apps already installed. I believe these would be good for someone who multitasks, plays video-games, and likes to use a monitor to watch movies on Netflix - not my case, but definitely a plus.
However, there is one significant drawback that I must mention - I've encountered issues when attempting to connect my laptop to the monitor through various display ports and Thunderbolt connections. Despite numerous attempts and troubleshooting, I have been unable to establish a stable connection. This can be quite frustrating, especially if you rely on external displays for work or entertainment.
In conclusion, the Samsung S9 5K monitor shines when it comes to display quality but falls short in terms of connectivity, which is a critical aspect for many users. If Samsung can address this issue in future iterations, it would undoubtedly be a top-tier monitor.

Overall, I really like it, I don’t think it beats the competition just yet, but it’s a 5star because it has been the best Samsung Monitor I’ve seen or used so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ViewFinity S9 is an amazing monitor. The rotating screen adjusts to whatever you need/want. You can pivot the screen 90 degrees for a greater view of documents.
It comes with a 4k camera that amazes you with its resolution, and design. The monitor works perfect both with Mac and Windows and lets you connect through so many different ports (Thunderbolt, mini DP, and USB-C)
The ViewFinity S9 works also as a SmartTV and comes with several apps like Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime, and Samsung TV Plus, of course), so you can stream your favorite contents.

Last but not least, the gaming experience is great. Samsung has developed the best gaming monitors, and you don't need a console or PC for that.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this multiuse monitor!

Excellent for Creators

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the monitor is very straight forward, only needing one person. Stand seemed a little wobbly at the beginning, but after completing the setup it holds the monitor in the right orientation and height very well. Rotation is smooth and the webcam has no issues remaining attached.
The 5K resolution is beautiful. Out of the box the color is quite vibrant. There is a calibration process available. It is quite easy and can be completed with a smart phone.
This monitor was clearly designed to work with macs, as the ports available are usb-c, thunderbolt 4, and mini display port. A thunderbolt 4 cable is included, which seems to work fine, although a bit short. I did have a few problems getting the ViewFinity and another monitor (LG) to work together when waking my computer up. Sometimes the ViewFinity would need to be plugged back into the computer before everything would work. I think this is a weird interaction between LG and Samsung. When the ViewFinity is the only monitor there are no issues.
The smart TV features are icing on the cake and provide better than 4k resolution for TV watching or console gaming. It is a good TV for its size, and would be a boon for a smaller room that doesn't have as much room for a large TV. The remote control is easy to use. One small nitpick would be the built in speaker. It sounds small and I would definitely recommend having dedicated speakers plugged into your system.
The monitor is great, I would definitely recommend, especially for creative types.

5K All The Way! Beauty and Brawn Blows me away!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment I pulled this monitor out of the box and placed it on my desk I could tell this would be exactly what I was looking for. I am in the unique position of editing daily on both Mac and PC and there was no 5K option until Samsung released the ViewFinity S9. Right away you notice the sleek styling, plenty of ports/technology, and a whole entertainment suite packed in!
Jumping right into the looks, it's a stunner, and that's before you even look at the screen. Very minimal and sharp lines lead up from the base and give you a nice focal point when the display is off. Even with my monitor exposed from the back on a peninsula desk the cables can be managed so nicely. You can set the height match with your working style, and adjust as needed to your heart's content. And the webcam that just "magically" attaches with no wires! Oh what a dream this is coming from other high end monitors. And speaking of dreams, that is also the best way to describe the huge 27" 5K display. Everything fits and scales exactly how I would expect and hope. Color calibration out of the box was fantastic, very vivid, and as bright as you could need! Love the matte finish as well, helps my attention to details just that little bit more, thanks to little reflection! I used my smartphone to really drill the monitor in on color calibration and everything looks that much better and more accurate.
The technology side of this monitor also opens up all sorts of possibilities in my setup too. I have a laptop connected via thunderbolt (This also works as a hub to charge and connect my keyboard and mouse, and the 4k "magic" webcam), a Desktop via the microDisplayPort and as a bonus I can connect my Samsung S23 Ultra smartphone wirelessly to the monitor to view any quick videos I grabbed around town. Just full of options to connect and use. I haven't even mentioned the smart TV side of this, it's nice to swap over and take a quick break and binge of few episodes of whatever show I'm currently into, and you can even game on just the monitor alone, I was able to play from game pass some of the latest racing games without any issues.
A couple improvements that I think are possible would be the monitor waking up a little faster when I plug in my laptop, a slightly longer Thunderbolt cable would be nice, and at times it almost seemed too bright, I'm sure another update cycle can clear that up.
Overall this is a perfect dual use monitor and I'm already planning to buy another!
I would recommend this to a friend!
