Samsung has outfitted ViewFinity S8 displays with pivot, swivel, and tilt stands. These monitors include a height-adjustable stand that allows the screen to tilt, rotate, and pivot. The VESA 100100 mount allows you to mount the ViewFinity S8 to a wall or your own monitor arm. Samsung also claims that some sections of its ViewFinity S8 monitors were constructed from reused materials produced from ocean-bound garbage.
The matte surface on the display screen of the ViewFinity S8 range provides a glare-free viewing experience. The new range of monitors has UL certification for anti-glare performance. For color accuracy, they are also PANTONE Validated and PANTONE SkinTone Validated. Samsung has also incorporated technologies that eliminate flickering and decrease blue light in displays.
Hyesung Ha, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics Visual Display Business, stated, “ViewFinity is the culmination of Samsung’s goal of providing the most precise and useful screens to enterprises that demand pinpoint precision and consistency throughout their operations. We are excited to provide this screen to designers, craftspeople, and specialists who will use our invention to create innovative ideas and experiences that realize their full potential.”
