Samsung ViewFinity S9 S90PC 27″ 5K (2024)

This 27-inch 5K monitor targets creative professionals with a Thunderbolt 4 connection that delivers 40Gbps data, 5120×2880 video, and up to 90W of laptop charging over a single cable. A Mini DisplayPort 1.4 input provides an alternative video connection without needing a full-size DisplayPort cable. Three USB-C downstream ports serve as a peripheral hub, though they run at USB 3.0 speeds. Notably, there are no HDMI ports or USB-A connectors, so legacy devices will need adapters.

Notes & Compatibility

No HDMI port. No USB-A ports. No headphone jack. Thunderbolt 4 port supports DP 1.4 Alt Mode, USB4, and 90W PD. Downstream USB-C ports limited to USB 3.0 speeds. Built-in 5W x2 speakers. Matte display coating. 99% DCI-P3 color gamut. Smart TV features via Tizen OS. Video arrives two ways only: the Thunderbolt 4 upstream port, which carries 5120×2880 at 60Hz, data and laptop charging down one cable, or the Mini DisplayPort input. A desktop graphics card with a full-size DisplayPort output needs a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable, and Samsung does not put one in the box. The bundled 4K SlimFit camera clips on magnetically over pogo pins, so it does not use up one of the three downstream USB-C ports.
