Samsung has once again raised the bar in display technology with the launch of its 2024 monitor lineup, designed to cater to a diverse range of consumer needs and preferences. The launch event, themed “Explore More Wonders,” last 08 August 2024 at the CyberZone of SM Makati, in collaboration with PC Express, one of the Philippines’ leading tech retailers. This lineup introduces advancements across Samsung’s Odyssey, Smart, and ViewFinity series, offering tailored experiences for gaming enthusiasts, professionals, and casual users alike.
“Here in Samsung, we recognize the diverse preferences and needs of our consumers when it comes to technology. Our 2024 monitor lineup is crafted to provide exceptional and tailored experiences in order for users to find the best monitor, whether for personal, gaming, or professional use,” according to Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation’s (SEPCO) President Min Su Chu.
Odyssey OLED Series: Elevating the Gaming Experience
A highlight of the event was the introduction of the Odyssey OLED Series, which continues Samsung’s legacy of innovation in gaming monitors. With the Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 models, Samsung aims to redefine the gaming experience with state-of-the-art OLED technology.
The Odyssey OLED G8, Samsung’s first 32-inch flat OLED AI gaming monitor, boasts a 16:9 aspect ratio and is powered by the NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor. This combination delivers stunning visuals with vibrant colors, deep contrasts, and near 4K resolution. The monitor also features a 240Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay, making it a top choice for competitive gamers.
For those seeking a more compact option, the Odyssey OLED G6 offers a 27-inch QHD display with a 360Hz refresh rate and the same 0.03ms GtG response time. This model is designed for fast-paced action, providing seamless visuals that keep up with the most intense gaming sessions. Both models are equipped with Samsung’s latest OLED Glare-Free Technology, which minimizes distractions from reflections, allowing gamers to stay fully immersed in the action.
Smart Monitor: A Versatile Solution for Work and Play
Samsung’s Smart Monitor M8 is the centerpiece of its Smart Monitor lineup, offering a perfect blend of productivity and entertainment features. The 32-inch 4K UHD display, enhanced by Samsung’s NQM AI processor, ensures that users can enjoy crystal-clear visuals whether they are working on detailed design projects or streaming their favorite shows.
The Smart Monitor M8 also comes with Active Voice Amplifier Pro technology, which enhances audio clarity, making it ideal for focused work environments. The monitor’s 360 Audio Mode further enriches the user experience by delivering immersive surround sound, perfect for enjoying movies and music videos. Additionally, the built-in SlimFit camera supports high-quality video conferencing, eliminating the need for external webcams.
For health-conscious users, the Smart Monitor M8 includes a Workout Tracker feature that syncs with Galaxy Watches to provide real-time health data on-screen. This versatile monitor is available alongside other models in the series, including the Smart Monitor M7 and M5, each offering unique features tailored to different user needs.
ViewFinity Series: Empowering Creatives & Professionals
The ViewFinity series, designed for creatives and professionals, rounds out Samsung’s 2024 monitor lineup. The 27-inch and 32-inch ViewFinity S6 models are engineered for tasks that require high color accuracy and precision, such as photo and video editing. These monitors deliver exceptional clarity, ensuring that every detail is rendered with remarkable accuracy.
Samsung’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the ViewFinity series, with each monitor made from at least 10% recycled plastic. The manufacturing process also prioritizes eco-friendly practices, avoiding chemical sprays and using glue instead of staples for easier recycling.
In addition to their environmental benefits, the ViewFinity monitors offer enhanced productivity features, including a USB type-C port with 90W charging and data transfer capabilities, as well as a built-in LAN port for seamless connectivity.
