Mac users will soon have a 5K monitor option
Today Samsung announced its refresh of 2022’s UHD ViewFinity S8, the 27-inch UHD Samsung ViewFinity S9 monitor. This model features an upgrade to a 5K (5,120 x 2,880) resolution which, according to Samsung, offers 50% more workspace than even the best 4K monitors and allows professionals to zoom in on their work while keeping editing tools on the screen. Samsung also states that the monitor boasts a 99% DCI-P31 color gamut, 218 PPI, and 600 nits of brightness.
It’s compatible with both Windows PCs and Apple Mac devices and comes with a mini Displayport input as well as a 90W USB Type-C port. It also features a built-in 4K SlimFit camera that connects via pogo pin and has Auto Framing. For professionals who worry about adjustability, height can be adjusted and the screen can be rotated by 90 degrees.
What also sets the ViewFinity S9 apart from many of the best 5K monitors is that it can be calibrated with a smartphone without the use of calibration equipment.
