Back in May last year, Samsung started shipping its new sleek-looking 9 Series monitor. Now, in preparation for CES next week, they have announced their second-generation 9 Series model, the S27A970, which will be showcased at CES next week.
The new Samsung 27-inch 9 Series Monitor features a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 when compared to the previous model, together with Samsung’s Colour Expert technology. This advanced technology ensures that the monitor delivers precise and vibrant colors, making it ideal for professional photographers, graphic designers, and video editors who require meticulous detail and color accuracy. The monitor also boasts a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a 5 ms (g2g) response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness, and 178/178 viewing angles, ensuring that images remain sharp and clear from virtually any angle.
Enhanced Connectivity and Features
Samsung has equipped the new 9 Series monitor with a variety of connectivity options to cater to different user needs. The monitor includes HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, and a built-in USB hub, making it easy to connect multiple devices simultaneously. Additionally, the inclusion of MHL (Mobile High Definition Link) allows users to connect their smartphones and tablets directly to the monitor, enabling them to view and interact with their mobile content on a larger screen. The built-in speakers further enhance the multimedia experience, providing clear and immersive audio without the need for external speakers.
Samsung UK’s Neil Sawyer explains:
“Interest in user-generated content and a premium computing experience is growing as consumers are demanding products that allow them to better view, edit, and share their photos, videos, and entertainment content,”
“The new Series 9 monitor, with Samsung’s exclusive Natural Colour Expert technology, answers the need for higher resolution and meticulous detail editing, regardless of the job,”
PLS Panel Technology
One of the standout features of the new 9 Series monitor is its PLS (Plane to Line Switching) panel technology. PLS panels are known for their superior color accuracy and wider viewing angles compared to traditional TN (Twisted Nematic) panels. This makes the S27A970 an excellent choice for professionals who require consistent color performance across the entire screen. The 2560×1440 pixel resolution provides ample screen real estate, allowing users to work on multiple applications simultaneously or view high-resolution images and videos in stunning detail.
Samsung’s new 9 Series monitor with PLS panel, 2560×1440 pixel resolution, and an MHL port will be available from March 2012 for around $1200. This price point positions the monitor as a premium offering, targeting users who demand the best in display technology for their professional or personal use.
The Samsung S27A970 9 Series monitor represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, offering higher resolution, advanced color accuracy, and a range of connectivity options. Whether you’re a professional in need of a reliable and precise display for your work or a consumer looking for a premium viewing experience, the S27A970 is poised to meet and exceed your expectations.
