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.

  9. Perfect for watching TV but my kids say gaming . I love the big screen, the 14 million pixels and the smart home compatibility

  11. This monitor would be great for my home music and video production setup. The 5k resolution, arm mount, and being able to rotate 90° would all help with video quality, saving space & adjusting views for mixing/editing when needed.

  17. In the review by Chris the 3 features that I really like are the modular 4k camera that will of course capture all of my wrinkles during my work calls at home, the matt finish to reduce glare from my outside window while working, and the fact that I could use it as a smart TV during my lunch breaks. Seems like a great product.

  22. Currently looking for monitors and I’m really bummed out that I missed out on the 99.97 deal for the Odyssey G3 165Hz monitor. This would be outstanding.

  28. As a graduate of a Visual FX program, the monitor would very much be to expand my video real estate.

    That said, it’d probably rock a few games, too. 😉

  29. I would use this for work as I am a therapist who offers virtual services so I will be able to see clients even better! With that in mind I appreciate the ultra high definition and clarity of the monitor. Also I like that it can be adjusted so I can get a good angle when I am standing or sitting so clients can see what I am doing. Lastly because I can be on zoom for 4-5 hours at a time I really appreciate the eye care technology!

  32. I just have a comment to make, no disrespect intended.

    Every time I receive a Best Buy contest by email I know that no matter what it is (and you have good ones) I will not be entering it. Why can’t you use a normal form? Every time you ask to make a comment on the product. How can we make a true comment on one of your products when we have never used it. If you want comments that is fine but you should also have a giveaway form to enter.

    Hopefully this will give you something to think about.

  33. I would use it for watching TV and gaming.
    I like that it is compatible with smart devices with 14 million pixels and a 27 inch screen size. GLA

  35. If I won, I would give it to my one of my nieces – one of them sure could use this great prize. Thank you.

  37. I would be using Samsung ViewFinity S9 monitor for watching TV and gaming.

    I love the idea of 14 million pixels with a 27 inch screen size. Having compatibility with Smart Home Devices is an excellent option as well.

  43. I would really enjoy using Samsung ViewFinity S9 monitor for viewing and playing music. It would help me become a better musician as I love to create music and record.
    The 14 million pixels would be amazing as well as the 27 inch screen as I have long hours of playing and learning the guitar and producing songs. Having compatability with Smart Home Devices is an excellent bonus. Thanks

  44. I work from home so this computer monitor would be amazing. The 5K resolution would ease eye strain from long hours working. The HD camera would make work meetings much more like in person meetings. In addition, the ability to move the monitor to any angle is extremely helpful. The smart tv apps enables this monitor to function as both work and personal for me.
    Thank you.
