Samsung announces new 2022 ViewFinity S8 monitor


Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the global launch of ViewFinity S8 (Model Name: S80PB), a high-resolution monitor specialized for creative professionals including content creators, graphic designers and more. ViewFinity, a portmanteau of “View” and “Infinity,” is the new name for Samsung’s high-resolution monitor line-up and denotes “The Value of Infinite Viewing Experience.” ViewFinity showcases Samsung’s ambition to establish a new benchmark for high resolution monitors.

“Our new ViewFinity monitor was made to meet the needs of professionals that require pinpoint accuracy and consistency in their work,” said Harry Patz, Jr., Senior Vice President and General Manager, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Business and creative professionals alike will be able to use this monitor to drive business growth, as it is equipped with various features that are necessary for productive and efficient work.”

The Samsung ViewFinity S8 is available in 32” and 27” models, offering high performance in the most popular screen sizes. Pro-grade UHD resolution is combined with a wide color gamut up to 98% of DCI-P3 and Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) DisplayHDR™ 600[1] for more range, accuracy, and nuance. Professional factory calibration ensures up to one billion colors are projected in crystal clarity on the IPS panel, which creates vibrant color reproduction and contrast for users while they work on the most complex visual and design projects.

Moreover, Samsung ViewFinity S8 received the ‘PANTONE Validated’[2] recognition in display from PANTONE[3] — meaning the models authentically reproduce more than 2,000 colors, as well as the newly added 110 skin tone shades, which can be found in the PANTONE SkinTone Guide.

The ViewFinity S8 is the world’s first UL[4] verified Glare Free monitor and applies Matte Display on the top of the panel, which reduces light reflection even when not using a monitor hood to provide a distraction-free working environment. This is enhanced by the wide viewing angle allowing users to see images clearly from any angle. Plus, ViewFinity S8 earned the CES 2022 Innovation Award Honoree in the Computer Peripherals & Accessories category in recognition of Samsung’s ongoing efforts to deliver considerable benefits to its customers.

Samsung has developed and applied a new material, made with repurposed ocean-bound plastics, to the ViewFinity S8 to reduce marine waste and minimize the environmental footprint, while using more recycled plastics to produce its display products than it did in 2021. Samsung’s Eco Savings Plus technology also reduces pixel brightness in sections of an image with black pixels for up to a 10% reduction in power consumption. In fact, ViewFinity S8 is TCO Certified[5] for its product design based on specific social and environmental responsibility requirements, as its product lifecycle also contributes to the circular economy.

The ViewFinity S8 offers increased functionality to create efficient workflows. It can be used as an all-in-one dock for desktops or laptops for simplified workstations at home or the office. Also, users can connect the monitor with a single USB Type-C cable enables display signals, 10Gbps data transfers, fast internet speeds via an Ethernet[6] connection and fast charging with up to 90W power. The VESA-compatible design maximizes space efficiency, allowing users to adjust, tilt, swivel and pivot the monitor into the perfect ergonomic position. Furthermore, the ViewFinity S8 offers certification from TÜV Rheinland for Intelligent Eye Care, Adaptive Picture for optimized quality in any viewing environment, Eye Saver Mode and Flicker Free technology.

The ViewFinity monitors include the newly released models and nine other products with QHD or higher resolution – 2022 models (S80PB, S61B, S80TB) and 2021 models (S95UA, S80UA, S80A, S70A, S65UA, S60UA, S60A).

Samsung’s new high-resolution monitor, ViewFinity S8, will be available globally from the end of June, with launch schedules varying by region.

Impressive. A monitor that requires no power or signal cables. ;-)

I know the images are marketing ones, but they are a little absurd.
