Just to hammer home the point, your first interactions are via a remote control rather than an OSD.
The remote offers dedicated buttons for Disney Plus, Netflix and Prime Video.
A detachable 4K webcam can be attached to the top of the stylish S9
Samsung backs up the visuals with the bestspeakershere by some distance.
Whisper it, but theres even bass on show.
It supportsXbox Game PassandNvidias GeForce Now services, too.
A 5K resolution makes everything look incredibly detailed
Games look great, despite the S9s modest 60Hz refresh rate.
And at this point, finally, it becomes a normal monitor.
Albeit one with a 5K (5,120 x 2,880) resolution, which gives a quite stunning 218ppi density.
The stand offers a limited amount of tilt
At this price we expected mini-LED technology, but IPS is in place as usual.
NotAdobeRGB, though, which is a surprise as the ViewFinity S9 lists Pantone validation among its many features.
There are also two slots available in the OSD for hardware calibration via recent Samsung phones.
Films benefit from even higher peaks thanks to support forHDR.
The monitor itself looks stunning.
Theres one final bonus here: a4Kwebcam.
When its time for calls, its superb detail capture will surely impress.
Whether its great enough to justify the price is a different matter.
