Overview
Home offices and photo editing desks get dense, crisp text from the Samsung ViewFinity, a twenty seven inch IPS monitor with ultra high resolution. One USB-C cable charges a laptop, carries data and shares the built in LAN port, while a KVM switch lets one keyboard and mouse run two computers.
High pixel density makes text and photos look print sharp and fits more windows on screen. Refresh rate and response time are standard office grade, so it suits work more than competitive play.
Who it's for
Designers, photographers and office workers who read fine text all day get a sharp, calibrated screen. Gamers chasing fast motion will find the refresh rate limiting.
Pros and cons
- Very high pixel density
- USB-C charging up to 90W
- Built in LAN port and KVM switch
- Picture by picture for two sources

Performance notes
Sharpness comes from packing many pixels into the panel, so text renders smoothly with scaling turned on. The USB-C link carries video, data and power together, and charging speed depends on what the laptop draws.
