Samsung this weekend has the 27-inch ViewFinity S9 5K Smart Monitor at a steep discount, available for $899.99, down from $1,599.99. In addition to this $700 discount, you'll find deals on 4K and 5K Samsung monitors in Samsung's new sale, including the Smart Monitor M8, as well as storage, audio, TVs, smartphones, and home appliances.

Overall, the ViewFinity S9 5K Smart Monitor is at a very solid second-best price this weekend, just $50 higher compared to the previous record low price. This monitor has a matte display, modular 4K SlimFit camera, and support for Thunderbolt 4.
Samsung's 27-inch Smart Monitor M8 is also being discounted during this sale, available for $399.99 in Warm White, down from $699.99. This is a 4K smart monitor with a design that looks similar to the new iMac line, and it's at another great second-best price during Samsung's monitor sale.
Additionally, when you sign up to learn more about Samsung's upcoming TV and audio product lineup, you can get $100 off your purchase. The new slate of Samsung TVs and audio equipment is set to be unveiled on March 21, and this $100 discount offer will be available through that date.
For all my criticisms of the Apple Studio Display (and they are many), no one understands design like Apple. Their products (this is the legacy and influence of Jony + Steve, I believe) exhibit intentionality in every feature.
This thing from Samsung looks like they didn't understand the assignment and didn't have a clear view of their neighbor's paper either.
Tough to keep passing on it at this price... must resist. I appreciate the sales but once you are knocking on the door of 50% off it might be time to adjust your MSRP.
Samsung must really be struggling to sell these things
I'd imagine the market for $1500 27" 5K panels is fairly limited, otherwise we'd see a lot more options out there. Windows handles fractional scaling better than macOS (at the cost of less consistency across the OS) so most Windows users are content with the wide selection of much less expensive 27" 4K panels. It's primarily Mac users willing to pay a premium for true 2x QHD scaling on 5K because of the way Apple chose to implement fractional scaling in macOS. Samsung could never compete against a first-party Apple hardware option among Apple loyalists unless it was at a deep, deep discount.
