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.

  5. I just bought a new gaming PC from Best Buy and haven’t upgraded my monitor, this would be a great addition to my gaming setup!!

  14. I work remotely from home and currently use a laptop with a 13″ screen. I find that I am straining my eyes to see the program I use for work and end up with a headache by the end of the day. The Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K smart monitor would so amazing to use instead of my tiny laptop I have to work with. This would be so fantastic! On my personal time I would use it to watch movies and stream videos.

  17. I would use the Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K smart monitor for graphic and photographic work as a side hustle.

  25. I would love love love this spectacular monitor for gaming, streaming, music and work station!
    This incredible monitor has all things needed to help me with long hours online. The 5K resolution, eye care package and 4K web can for all my work and social zoom and Skype calls as well as FaceTime. The rotating screen/monitor is especially beneficial.

  26. More monitor is more better.
    This could be 3rd to add to my system and become the new home to my streaming videos, but would eventually replace some aging hardware
    Now if BestBuy could add a contest for a bigger desk, I’d be set !

  29. I would use this monitor for working. I work from home and created a goal for myself to spruce up my home office. As someone who is on a computer all day, this monitor would be a great addition!

  30. I would use this monitor for video & music workstation editing as well tons of gaming. The built in gamer hub is what I like & the rotating screen is awesome for different side scroller & topdown games, I especially 5k for powerful PC graphics. The Thunderbolt connection is a must for me for newer PCs, the Pantone color accuracy is an amazing addition, I don’t have any monitor atm, just an aging TV.

  33. I’d be using this to teach my students! The 4K camera, intelligent eye care feature, and matte display would make sitting at a desk all day a far more enjoyable experience.

  41. I wish I would be using the ViewFinity for something fun and exciting, but I teach. So I would be using it to prep and mark for my photography and videography class.

  43. If I was to win the thing I would benefit the most is I will be able to spend less on a screen while building a desktop which means I can go for better configurations

    Secondly this can be used as a 2nd screen with my work laptop when having to work from home.

  48. I work from home and spend far too much time on the computer for both work and personal use. So I would be using this monitor a lot for work, plus some movies on the weekends
