What Modern Monitors Can Do: 7 Features That Will Surprise You

What Modern Monitors Can Do: 7 Features That Will Surprise You

Modern monitors are less and less reminiscent of their predecessors, which could only display information from a computer. Today, these are powerful hybrids with artificial intelligence on board, smart TV functions, and in the case of Samsung, they also support wireless communication with tablets and smartphones and serve as a hub for smart home devices. Using the updated Samsung Odyssey OLED, Smart Display and ViewFinity monitor lines as an example, we tell you what you should pay special attention to.

All-in-one system

If TVs can function as monitors, why can't monitors be TVs? Modern displays combine the capabilities of smart TVs and third-party applications. These are all-in-ones that don't require a separate PC to operate. In cases where the workspace is limited or when a second TV is simply needed, smart displays of the M series are the optimal choice.

In turn, the ViewFinity line allows you to free up your workspace by acting as a docking station: cables and peripherals can be connected directly to the monitor. Bonus – charging of connected devices.

Artificial intelligence inside

AI opens up a whole new range of possibilities. Firstly, the potential of 4K resolution screens can be expanded with the 4K AI Upscaling function: in the case of the M8 smart display, scaling using artificial intelligence based on the NQM AI processor allows you to increase the resolution of the content. As practice shows, the expansion works great when converting original Full HD and HD video to 4K.

AI integration is also a feature of the new Odyssey OLED G8, Samsung’s first AI-enabled OLED gaming monitor. Its 3rd-generation NQ8 AI processor, which Samsung is using in its 2024 8K TV, allows it to upscale the resolution to 4K not only when watching videos, but also when using built-in smart TV apps for gaming and entertainment. (Though the Odyssey OLED G8’s features go far beyond that, too: a refresh rate of 360Hz, a response time of just 0.03ms, and Samsung’s advanced OLED Safeguard+ anti-burn technology.)

AI is also used for audio enhancements: Active Voice Amplifier Pro analyzes the background noise of what's happening on screen to separate dialogue from the background, making the former sound clearer.

Control all devices with mouse and keyboard

Multi-Control (ALP/OPE2) lets you expand your multitasking and easily control multiple devices with a single mouse and keyboard, seamlessly switching between your smart display, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy smartphone – just like having two regular monitors side by side.

Solar powered remote control

The SolarCell Remote, with its solar panel on the back, eliminates the need for disposable batteries, making it more environmentally friendly. And the built-in quick-start button provides instant access to certain menu options, including the settings page.

Monitor – control center of a smart home

The Smart Things app lets you see all your smart home devices on one screen in a user-friendly interface. You can control them even if they are in different rooms. The energy-saving mode is activated with one click, and with a Galaxy smartphone, you can control all these features with your voice.

Display as a canvas on an easel

Samsung ViewFinity series high-resolution monitors are designed for business, content creation and graphic design – areas that actively use crystal clear and natural color rendering technologies: this includes HDR10, and extended dynamic range, and DCI-P3 color gamut of 99%, and display of 1.07 billion colors, and anti-glare coating certified by UL, which allows you to work with images with constant levels of brightness and color even without a special visor for the monitor.

Monitor – personal trainer

New to the entire smart display lineup is a workout tracking feature that, when paired with the Galaxy Watch, allows you to display real-time health data on the screen – even while watching content.

All these features make modern screens even more attractive, functional and interesting. You can buy monitors of the new Odyssey OLED, smart displays and ViewFinity 2024 lines at Citylink.ru, one of the largest retailers of computer, digital and household appliances in the country.

About author

I pass by being that person liable to duty, but who cannot resist the flights of imagination. I have always loved the legends, the myths and the stories of the old and distant times with my whole being. In high school I fell in love with the history of art and I made it the object of my university studies. Once I graduated, I dusted off an old flame: that of children's literature. I rediscovered the beauty and importance of illustrated books and books, where, to a quality text, images are added that give strength and enrich what is narrated with meaning. It can be said that illustrators often make real works of art! It was then that I decided to follow this passion of mine both as a volunteer, entering the ranks of readers born to read, and in my work as a librarian. I am a greedy devoured of illustrated books (I have an absolute weakness for the stories that have bears or wolves as protagonists!), I love simple stories that know how to strike and surprise. I hate pigeon-holed books in a specific age group and readers in a certain category of readings. I think everyone is different and deserves to choose (and be chosen by the books) without constraints, in complete freedom! [email protected]
