Samsung has unveiled new Odyssey, ViewFinity, and Smart Monitor models with AI-based displays. After releasing the Galaxy Book 4 Edge, which was designed with AI in mind, there is a tendency to apply AI to all products. I'm using a MacBook and a studio display. Is this a good monitor for a creator?

Odyssey G8 OLED 4Kis an AI-based gaming monitor. 32-inch 4K UHD (3840×2160) with 240Hz refresh rate. AI upscaling of the screen is achieved using the NQ8 AI Gen3 processor used in 8K TV models. Samsung OLED Safeguard+ function is applied to prevent burn-in, one of the disadvantages of OLED, and OLED Glare-free anti-glare technology improves color accuracy and reduces reflections. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology allows for natural movement.

Height, angle, and direction can be adjusted as desired. The LED on the back of the monitor emits colors similar to those shown on the screen behind it, giving the feeling of expanding space. It's full of features that allow you to enjoy the content more immersively, but it also looks good for work. You can purchase it on Samsung's website, and the price starts at 1.49 million won. Adding anti-reflection height to the studio display costs 3 million won, so it doesn't look any worse.

Smart Monitor M8(M80D)offers 4K UHD at 32 inches. Provides 4K AI upscaling for high resolution, bringing low-resolution content closer to the 4K UHD standard. It also analyzes background noise to optimize dialogue in content. You can adjust the height and angle, and rotate it horizontally and vertically.

You can also switch between screens by linking with other Galaxy devices. It has a built-in Samsung TV app, so it can be used without a PC or hub, and can also be used as a smart home hub with the SmartThings app. You can pair it with Galaxy Buds or connect it to a smartphone to have a video conference using the monitor. The price starts at 780,000 won.

Viewfinity S8 (S80UD)offers 4K UHD in 32-inch and 27-inch sizes. The ports consist of USB-C, two USB-A, HDMI, and DC. No separate AI technology is applied, so it feels ordinary. The price starts at 330,000 won. It's cheap!
