Samsung Electronics America has unveiled its 2025 Smart Monitor, Odyssey Gaming Monitor and ViewFinity Monitor lineups, all of which will be on display at Samsung’s First Look at CES on January 5.
“Samsung will continue its tradition of innovating display technology in 2025 with the introduction of new Odyssey, Smart and ViewFinity models,” said David Phelps, Head of the Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Whether its new AI capabilities, size options, or groundbreaking refresh rates, Samsung will ensure that every type of user will have their needs met for enhancing productivity, gaming, and entertainment.”
Samsung’s 2025 models raise the bar for monitors by bringing AI features, industry-first sizes in the OLED market and new form factors that ignite the passions of users worldwide — whether they’re working, gaming or creating.
Smart Monitor M9: Entertainment and Efficiency Get an AI Upgrade
The Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF) is the first monitor to integrate on-device AI, features AI Picture Optimizer, which analyzes input signals to determine the type of content being viewed — such as gaming, video, or productivity applications — and automatically adjusts the display settings for the best visual experience.
The M9 also incorporates 4K AI Upscaling Pro, which uses advanced AI processing and neural networks to upgrade lower-resolution content up to 4K quality. By analyzing input signals and existing image data, this feature delivers crystal-clear visuals with enhanced detail, regardless of the original resolution.
The AI goes further for gamers by recognizing the genre of the game being played and fine-tuning the picture settings to deliver an optimal and immersive experience for every play style.
The M9 features a 32” 4K OLED screen with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 for incredible details and vivid colors and its thin design, along with the Easy Setup Stand, allows users to effortlessly create their ideal workspace. The M9 also has a built-in 4K camera, making it convenient to use in any environment.
Samsung Odyssey Series: Two Industry Firsts With a 27” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor and an OLED Screen With a 500Hz Refresh Rate
The 2025 Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 gaming monitor models’ new sizes power up performance, with both models delivering a response time of 0.03ms (GTG) for smooth visuals and crisp gameplay, even in fast-paced gaming environments. They also support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and are NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, allowing them to provide smooth pictures with less tear and flickering. VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 delivers rich darks without bloom or color bleed, making the most of the OLED screen, while OLED Glare Free screens keep the focus on the game by reducing distracting reflections and glare.
The Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) is the first 27” 4K (3,840 x 2,160) OLED gaming monitor in the world. The screen packs in 165 PPI (pixels per inch) with a refresh rate of 240Hz, with the level of pixel density and screen smoothness giving game creators and players a new level of detail and picture quality as they build and explore realistic gaming worlds.
The Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) has lightning-fast speed as the first-ever OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate on its QHD (2,560 x 1,440) screen. The ultra-smooth gameplay unleashes the potential for gamers who demand the best to gain a winning edge from device performance.
Samsung is also showcasing the 27” Odyssey 3D (G90XF) gaming monitor at CES. Thanks to its lenticular lens attached to the front of the panel and its front stereo camera, the Odyssey 3D provides a customizable 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. It can also add a new depth to content by using AI to analyze and convert 2D video into 3D.
ViewFinity S8: A Bigger Canvas for Productivity and Creativity
The ViewFinity S8 (S80UD) is the largest 16:9 4K monitor to date boasting a 37” screen that is approximately 34% larger than the previous model and designed to maximize productivity, immersion and efficiency. With its sRGB 99% color gamut faithfully presenting colors on the 4K (3,840 x 2,160) screen, the ViewFinity S8 delivers the color representation and brightness necessary for professional users to do their best work while making the most out of valuable desk space.
The 2025 ViewFinity S8 has been certified by TÜV Rheinland for ‘Ergonomic Workspace Display,’ recognizing its ergonomic design that enhances work immersion, task efficiency and productivity. TÜV-certified Intelligent Eye Care reduces fatigue in users’ eyes by adjusting the color temperature based on the environment’s lighting. Eye saver mode and a flicker-free feature also protect eyes from strain.
The S8 also keeps productivity high through a built-in KVM8 switch, turning the monitor into a single command station for multitasking across several devices with only one mouse and keyboard. Devices can also be connected and charged at the same time with a 90W USB-C connection, making it easy to quickly manage all the accessories a user needs.
