Samsung's ViewFinity S9 5K Display Launching August 28, PreOrders Available Now

At CES in January, Samsung unveiled its upcoming ViewFinity S9, one of the closest competitors to Apple's Studio Display, and last month Samsung announced that it would finally be coming to the US in August.

Now it looks like we have a firm release date as Amazon has put the new look up for pre-order with a release date set for August 28th with next day shipping available.

The Samsung ViewFinity S9 will be one of the few 27-inch 5K monitors on the market to deliver the optimal 2560 x 1440 pixel density for full Retina desktops like Apple's Studio Display.

The ViewFinity S9 is priced at $1,599.99, which is roughly the same price as the "Apple Studio Display," but Samsung offers a tilt-and-lift stand and Apple charges $400 for the upgrade. The ViewFinity S9 can also be rotated to portrait mode with the included stand.

The ViewFinity S9 is equipped with a Thunderbolt 4 port, three USB-C ports, a Mini DisplayPort port, and a 20V DC power port. It connects to PCs and Macs and delivers 90W of power transfer and data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps for devices connected via the Thunderbolt 4 port.

At the top of the screen is the SlimFit 4K camera, which adjusts to the angle of the screen and has an automatic framing function that ensures that the user remains visible and in the frame, similar to Apple's Center Stage function. A built-in speaker is included, and the Adaptive Sound + option includes automatic noise level adjustment.

A built-in Smart TV app and remote control are also included, allowing the monitor to work as a TV without having to connect it to a computer. Popular streaming apps are supported, as well as the Samsung Gaming Hub for streaming cloud games from Xbox, NVIDIA and more.

The new ViewFinity S9 will also be available on Samsung's website on the same day, August 28, and other retailers should add it closer to that date.
