Samsung has unveiled its 2025 Smart Monitor, Odyssey Gaming Monitor and ViewFinity Monitor lineups.
“The 2025 models raise the bar for monitors by bringing AI features, industry-first sizes in the OLED market and new form factors,” Samsung said.
The Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) introduces “industry-first AI features that enhance entertainment and interactivity through smart picture adaptation and search functions”.
Samsung said it’s the first monitor to integrate on-device AI, and it has AI Picture Optimizer, “which analyses 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 incorporates 4K AI Upscaling Pro, which uses “advanced AI processing and neural networks to upgrade lower-resolution content up to 4K quality”.
It features a 32” 4K OLED screen with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400.
Meanwhile, the Odyssey gaming monitor series has new sizes, with the 2025 Odyssey OLED G8 and G6 models.
Samsung said the G8 is the first 27” 4K (3,840 x 2,160) OLED gaming monitor in the world.

“The level of pixel density and screen smoothness gives game creators and players a new level of detail and picture quality as they build and explore realistic gaming worlds,” the manufacturer said.
The G6 is the first-ever OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate on its QHD (2,560 x 1,440) screen. The 480Hz rate is now in the rearview mirror, and Samsung said the 500Hz refresh rate will suit gamers “who demand the best to gain a winning edge”.
Both models deliver a response time of 0.03ms (GTG) and support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and are NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible.
At CES 2025 Samsung will also reveal its 27” Odyssey 3D gaming monitor.
“The Odyssey 3D provides a customisable 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. It can also add a new depth to content by using AI to analyse and convert 2D video into 3D.”
Finally, the 37” ViewFinity S8 is Samsung’s largest 16:9 4K monitor, with a screen size around a third larger than the previous model.
The 2025 ViewFinity S8 has been certified by TÜV Rheinland for “Ergonomic Workspace Display”, Samsung said.

They include enhanced HP Support Services packages, a new HP Device Registration Service and expansion of the HP Certified Refurbished PC portfolio.
