Samsung’s premium 5K monitor is $700 off in rival Prime sale

The Samsung ViewFinity is a premium 27-inch monitor with a big sale in the Samsung Prime Day rival event.

Samsung’s Viewfinity S9 is the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it is considered one the best 27-inch monitors. On the other, it is one of the best 5K monitors. And now, in Samsung’s answer to Prime Day deals, you’re able to buy it for just $900. That’s $700 off of its usual $1,600 and yours for the taking if you tap the button below. Keep reading to learn about its extra features, gorgeous screen, and more.

Unlike a lot of the best monitors these days, the Samsung ViewFinity S9 skips the 4K standard and goes up to 5K, giving it an edge for those in professional video or photo editing roles. Its got intense color spectrum quality, and has both a Pantone validation and Pantone SkinTone validation. One screen extra you don’t seen often is the matte finish, which is easy on the eyes and reduces glare. This, of course, isn’t the only Samsung screen with a matte finish, and you can check out Samsung’s The Frame TV in Prime Day TV deals for more Samsung screens of this nature.

And then you get to all of the extras, of which there are a ton. Take, for example, the SlimFit camera that shoots in 4K (its the small circular object above the monitor in the shot above, in case you missed it). Or, perhaps you want to make your monitor horizontal when you read long documents (or browse Tik Tok on the PC). To do so you just need to lift and bend. It’s really easy. Connect to other devices with AirPlay and, if you’re into graphic design, adjust the advanced details of your monitor’s color display with the tap of a finger on a connected smartphone. Then, when work is done, relax and enjoy some TV. This has a built-in TV OS, compelete with Samsung Gaming Hub. In theory, you don’t even need one of the best desktop PCs to enjoy this monitor. And that’s all without talking about the ports and other great features that make this a worker’s dream monitor.

Once again, this monitor is just $900 as part of Samsung Prime Day deals. This deal saves you $700 off of the usual $1,600, but you’ll have to act soon to take advantage of it before this deal is over. Decided this monitor is not for you?

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
