Wide Workspace in WUHD Resolution
The Samsung ViewFinity S8 S85TH offers a 40" curved screen with a WUHD resolution of 5,120 × 2,160px, which provides more horizontal space than standard UHD monitors. The 21:9 aspect ratio is ideal for working with multiple windows, video editor timelines, spreadsheets, graphic design tools, and extensive documents. A wider workspace helps to reduce constant switching between windows and makes daily multitasking clearer.
HDR10+ and Rich Colour Reproduction
HDR10+ support helps display a wider range of colours, deeper dark shades, and more prominent bright parts of the image. The monitor can work with up to 1.07 billion colours, so transitions appear smoother and the image gains a more natural depth. You'll appreciate the more detailed rendering of both light and dark scenes when watching content, doing creative work, and editing visual materials.
Thunderbolt™ 5 for Fast Transfer and Power
Thunderbolt™ 5 makes it easier to work with data-intensive tasks, high resolutions, and modern laptops. It offers data transfer speeds of up to 80Gb/s and can power a compatible device with up to 140W. The monitor also supports a dual-display setup, so you can create a more extensive workspace without compromising on performance. A single connection can thus handle image, data, and power in a practical work setup.
Easy Connection for More Convenient Device Hookup
The Easy Connection feature brings important connectors closer to the user, so you don't have to struggle to find hard-to-reach ports on the back of the monitor. You can connect peripherals, external storage, or other accessories more quickly, and your desk remains better organised. More convenient access to connectors saves time when connecting devices every day.
Stable Network and Wide Connectivity
The integrated LAN port allows you to use a stable Ethernet connection, which you'll appreciate when working with the cloud, video calls, transferring larger files, or on a corporate connection. In addition to Thunderbolt™ 5, there are also HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-A, USB-C, a headphone output, and other ports for connecting work accessories. The Samsung ViewFinity S8 monitorcan thus function as a practical hub for your entire work setup.
KVM Switch for Working with Two Devices
The integrated KVM Switch allows you to control two connected devices using a single keyboard and mouse. This makes it easy to switch between a work laptop and a desktop computer, for example, without having to reconnect peripherals. Simpler control of multiple devices helps keep your workspace tidy and speeds up the transition between tasks.
Easy Setup Stand and Ergonomic Adjustment
The Easy Setup Stand allows for quick assembly of the monitor without complicated installation. Once placed on the desk, you can easily adjust the screen to your working position – the monitor's height can be adjusted, tilted, and swivelled. Ergonomic adjustment helps you find a more comfortable position for long work, study, or creative activities.
40" Samsung ViewFinity S8 Monitor with Built-in Speakers
The Samsung ViewFinity S8 monitor is equipped with built-in 2×5W speakers, so you don't need separate speakers for regular playback of videos, music, or online calls. This means your desk can stay cleaner and free of extra cables. Sound directly from the monitor simplifies daily use for both work and entertainment.
Intelligent Eye Care for More Comfortable Viewing
Intelligent Eye Care technology helps to adjust the brightness and colour temperature to the surrounding environment. Eye Saver Mode reduces blue light, and Flicker Free reduces screen flicker, which can be unpleasant during prolonged use. You'll appreciate the more comfortable image during long workdays, evening work, and when reading extensive documents.
Samsung Display Manager for Faster Management
Samsung Display Manager makes it easy to access selected monitor functions directly from your computer. You can work more quickly with Split Screen, brightness adjustment, KVM, PiP/PbP, or colour calibration. For corporate environments, there is also a MAPT function, which helps administrators better recognise connected devices on the network. Faster control of monitor functions simplifies daily work and the management of workstations.
Smoother Picture with 144Hz
The 144Hz refresh rate helps improve motion smoothness when watching videos, working with dynamic content, creative projects, and gaming. The image appears snappier than on standard 60Hz monitors, and faster motion is clearer. Smoother display reduces motion blur and makes using the monitor more pleasant for both work and entertainment.
AMD FreeSync Premium for Smoother Action
AMD FreeSync Premium uses a variable refresh rate that helps sync the Samsung ViewFinity S8 monitor with a compatible graphics card. This reduces screen tearing, stuttering, and distracting lags during fast-paced scenes. You'll appreciate the more stable image when gaming, watching videos, or working with smooth motion, where a continuous and clean picture is important.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for the web, films, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours.Maximum Brightness
The value, given in nits or cd/m², determines the brightness level of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250.Refresh Rate and Response Time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.¹ The page may contain images and videos created or modified using AI tools.
