Today, Samsung has unveiled its first ever 37-inch monitor, part of the ViewFinity S8 line. It sits right in between the already available 32″ and 43″ models in the series, offering “outstanding readability, an optimal viewing distance and a comfortable field of view”, the company says in its official press release.
The 37″ monitor has a 16:9 aspect ratio, and compared to the 32″ version, “the screen’s additional five inches provide more workspace while maintaining UHD resolution in sharp detail”, Samsung promises.
Even with the same display settings, text appears larger than on a 32″ display (obviously), “making details stand out and information easier to grasp at a glance”. It delivers “the big-screen experience designed for collaboration” when standing, presenting or sharing the display with teammates.
TÜV Rheinland has certified the new 37″ monitor as an “Ergonomic Workspace Display”, which “recognizes its design that reduces visual fatigue during tasks like text editing or documentation and enhances task immersion”. It also has an Intelligent Eye Care feature that minimizes blue light and flicker, reducing eye strain. This too is TÜV-certified.
The monitor has a built-in keyboard, video and mouse switch letting you control two devices simultaneously with a single set of peripherals. You also get picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture for better multitasking. In the former mode you can, for example, connect a laptop and a smartphone that will each use one side of the display as a separate screen.
There’s also a USB-C port and a built-in LAN port, the former offering 90W charging for your devices. The Easy Setup Stand is advertised to only require about 10 seconds for installation, even if you have little experience – and there are no additional tools or screws needed. The height-adjustable stand has tilt and swivel functions to allow you to get the best position.
There’s a gaming-oriented version too, the Odyssey G7, in 37″, which comes with 1000R curvature, 4K UHD resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms (GTG) response time “to deliver an immersive large-screen gaming experience”.
