5K is just so good

The Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K is the only product on the market that can truly rival the Apple Studio Display at the moment. Both displays feature a similar design, made of high-quality materials, and use a 27-inch 5K screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 218 PPI (pixels per inch) for a super crisp image.

The Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K boasts a 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, which means it's a great choice for those who deal with color. It also has an anti-reflective matte coating applied to the display glass, which reduces glare and diffuses light way better than the base-model Apple Studio Display, which costs $1,599.

Using your smartphone phone, you can custom calibrate the display to match your environment and ensure optimal color accuracy. The monitor has one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, one miniDP port, and three USB-C ports on the back for data transfer and power. It's also compatible with both Windows and Mac devices, making it a great option for Mac users who don't want to pay for Apple's pricey alternative.

The ViewFinity S9 5K also comes with a webcam peripheral that attaches to the top of the monitor. The sensor is great, featuring a much wider field of view compared to the Apple Studio Display.

Finally, the monitor has a metal stand that supports height and tilt adjustment, unlike the Apple Studio Display. The stand also allows rotation, so you can use the monitor in portrait mode if you wish.

The Samsung ViewFinity S9 5K surpasses the Apple Studio Display a number of key ways, and for almost $400 less than Apple's product, Samsung's display is the obvious choice for Cyber Monday.
