In working for the blog, I’ve read many, many reviews of computer monitors and, if I’m being honest, they all eventually sort of blend into each other and it’s hard to tell what sets each apart from the rest. But while working on publishing its review, the Samsung ViewFinity S9 monitor stood out to me. It has 5K resolution, an included HD webcam, and lots of thoughtful and useful features added for users. Find out what makes this monitor a hit in my book and enter for a chance to win it.

The ViewFinity S9 is a work from home workhorse

Given that it costs as much as a high-end TV, I would definitely expect a lot from the ViewFinity S9 monitor. And it delivers. This monitor is designed to be at the centre of your workspace while taking up as little space as possible. It has a beautiful, sleek look and can be wall or arm mounted to still be accessible but free up some desk space. It comes with a 4K webcam for all your video calls or vlog recording too! The 27-inch display may seem small to some, but is really the perfect size to be unobtrusive while still giving you plenty of real estate to pour over long Excel sheets or refine that tricky curve of the new art piece you’ve been working on.

The display features of the S9 perfectly lend themselves to creative tasks and long hours looking at detailed documents. If you read through Chris’s honest review of the monitor, you’ll learn that the S9 has a multitude of display features, key of which is the impressive 5K resolution. 5K means over 14 million pixels, which is ideal for those who need (more than) ultra-high definition and clarity for video editing, graphic design, and gaming. For ease, the monitor can be height adjusted via the stand as well as tilted up and down to get the optimal viewing angle, and can also be pivoted to 90 degrees for those times when a vertical view is more useful. Two additional features I like the most are the Eye Care technology and matte display, which is very important for making sure your eyes aren’t constantly fighting glare and getting easily strained.

An entertainment and smart hub rolled into one

Like many, I am an early October baby, with a birthday that’s just a few days before Thanksgiving. So for me, there’s usually a lot to look forward to in October as fall moves toward the cold, cold holidays—a quick weekend away, cozy days sipping on hot chocolate, and horror movie nights to watch spooky stuff around Halloween. I know if I were to win the ViewFinity S9 it would not only be a fantastic birthday gift but I would be very thankful to have a high quality screen from which to independently stream YouTube or any other video content. You don’t need to be connected to a computer, or speakers either. It’s also possible to play games without a console with the Samsung Gaming Hub! Some Fall Guys perhaps? Haha. Now, playing games wirelessly on a monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate is not going to give you the optimal gaming experience that a competitive player might want, but for the casual gamer, the S9 will be more than good enough.

While gaming or watching a cheesy horror flick, you can also change the smart lights in your room to set the mood with Samsung’s SmartThings app. This monitor is able to control any compatible smart home devices in your home for you, so you don’t even have to get up from your chair to turn your oven off when the turkey is done cooking! Sadly, though this monitor can do many things, it can’t actually take the turkey out of the oven for you.

  7. I would use this monitor for my home office for working.
    Features include Pantone colours, Wireless display, Intelligent Eye Care.

  14. If I won this monitor I would mostly use it for my creative work. I’d replace my old iMac with a Mac Studio and use it with this monitor.

  27. It would have so many uses, I can’t name them all, but mostly I would use it for movies and /or in the office.

  33. I would use it for all my courses in Real Estate and Meetings. I have a very old Monitor it would be a Great help.

  40. I would use this monitor for work and youtube/netflix viewing. Currently have two laptops that we do those activities on, and the screens are just so small – not great for my eyes. That is why I find the additional features of the eye care technology and matte display to be a good fit for my need to reduce eye strain. I’m also happy to read that the stand is adjustable for height and tilt – being able to set up a display ergonomically is so important for working from home!

  43. I would use this for everything. Gaming movies, work. But primarily I will most likely work since I work almost 10 hours every day.

  44. As much as I would love to use this monitor myself for studying and streaming should I win it, I would actually gift it to my father for him to use for work. Although technically retired, he is still very active in his field of interest and spends many an hour hunched over his laptop. He does also enjoy a TV show and movie now and then, which I am sure would look beautiful on this HD monitor.

    Features he would appreciate:

    1. 5K resolution and 27″ monitor
    – his aging eyes could benefit from crystal clear resolution and a larger screen (but don’t tell him I said that!)

    2. 4K Webcam
    – he often has online meetings and I’m sure the other participants would appreciate being able to see him more clearly and without any lagginess
    – he also records videos to put on his website so having a higher quality camera would be very beneficial

    3. 90 degree monitor tilt and adjustable height
    – an old-schooler in his 70s, he doesn’t know the joys of being able to adjust one’s monitor so that neck strain and shoulder scrunching don’t have to a thing…I bug him about his posture at his desk so this would certainly help him!

    My father would be absolutely thrilled to have a monitor such as this one. His 75th birthday is coming up this year…a match meant to be?

  45. If I won this it would be a dime
    I would use it for art and design

    ️ 5k resolution with matte display
    ↕️↔️ The horizontal and vertical adjustments
    Gaming hub

    Wish best luck to others

  50. the Viewfinity S9 monitor would be useful for reading (5k resolution), and this would also benefit from the ability to rotate the screen from horizontal to vertical. The fact that it has a video camera included, it might come in handy.
