The Smart Monitor M9 is the first of Samsung’s monitors to incorporate OLED technology in the screens. Delivering deep blacks and rich color contrast, the OLED screen makes even the tiniest detail pop. The OLED screen also uses Glare-Free technology, which keeps pictures sharp even in bright surrounding light.
Avid gamers can also appreciate smooth transitions with a rapid refresh rate of 165Hz. At the same time, the monitor easily recognizes the genre of the game being played and fine-tunes picture settings to deliver an optimal and immersive gaming experience, no matter the playstyle.
Samsung ViewFinity S8
The 37” ViewFinity S8 displays unmatched color accuracy, from a spectrum of shades to create the most true-to-life visuals. The monitor’s sRGB 99% color gamut faithfully represents colors as seen by the naked eye, enabling creatives to create consistent and high-quality work.
The new ViewFinity S8 also boasts an impressive 37” screen, making it the largest 16:9 4K monitor to date. The ViewFinity S8’s large display makes it the ideal monitor when it comes to productivity, as its ergonomic display allows one to completely focus on their work and accomplish complex tasks with ease.
Samsung Odyssey Introduces a Whole New Level of Gaming
Gaming is as immersive as it can get with the Odyssey 3D 27” monitor, delivering a natural-looking high-definition 3D image that requires no specialized glasses—utilizing advanced eye-tracking technology and a proprietary lenticular lens, pulling you in as the action jumps out of the screen. The Odyssey 3D also unlocks new dimensions and brings you to new worlds with its 3D AI Video Conversion feature, which converts videos to add depth and realism.

Meanwhile, the 32" Odyssey OLED G8 gives a new level of detail and picture quality. Packing 166 pixels per inch in a QD-QLED screen, the monitor creates a brighter, more detailed world in sharp, 4K quality. Its VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 adds to the immersion, displaying true, rich blacks. Refreshing at a rate of 240Hz and a response time of 0.03 ms, the monitor keeps up with any kind of dynamic content, no sweat. With its Glare-Free technology, the monitor becomes the optimal screen to charge into battle distraction-free during the day or night.
Samsung OLED Safeguard+ for Burn-In Protection
Samsung’s monitors are built not just to meet productivity and entertainment needs, but to surpass them. It is an investment where every component is integrated to support capabilities that elevate every working, viewing, or gaming experience.
Part of this supportive technology is the Dynamic Cooling and thermal modulation system integrated into monitors. These work in combination to keep the screens cool, complementing Samsung OLED Safeguard+ to prevent disruptive burn-in.
