Samsung Electronics is delivering a more responsive and refined screen experience with the Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model), the first OLED display in Samsung’s Smart Monitor (M series) lineup.

The Smart Monitor M9 brings together the brilliance of a 4k OLED display with built-in Smart TV Apps, AI-powered features and Samsung Gaming Hub[1] to achieve a seamless experience no matter what’s on screen—no PC required.

Since its release, the device has earned praise from industry experts for its stunning picture quality, intelligent features and gaming-ready performance.

Next-Level Picture Quality Backed by QD-OLED Brilliance
Highlighting the high-end features and performance improvements of the M9, one of Samsung’s best OLED 4K models in its class, Tom’s Guide wrote, “The new M9 offers a significant upgrade over its predecessor thanks to its 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel, which dramatically enhances contrast and color for an improved movie-watching experience.”

The Smart Monitor M9 delivers true-to-life visuals powered by QD-OLED technology, producing rich colors and deep inky blacks — complemented by sharp 4K resolution. With support for VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, content appears with greater depth and contrast, even in dark scenes.

“The Smart Monitor M9 features Samsung Vision AI, providing advanced upscaling and picture optimisation features,“ added Tom’s Guide. “During my time with the M9, I came to the conclusion that it’s a huge leap forward from its predecessor, offering more than enough advancements to justify a price increase.”

Techaeris rated the M9 a 9.7 out of 10, calling its QD-OLED panel “one of the best you’re going to find on any monitor,” and noting the display “looks spectacular” with colors that “pop” and brightness that “doesn’t wash out the colors.”

To help reduce the risk of burn-in and maintain screen integrity over time, Samsung OLED Safeguard+ features advanced technologies like adaptive brightness controls and a proprietary cooling system with a Pulsating Heat Pipe.

Game in High Gear with Pro-Level Specs
“With a brilliant 4K QD-OLED display, 165Hz refresh rate, Smart TV apps, Gaming Hub[2], and more, this is a do-it-all monitor and TV, perfect for work and play,” wrote Techaeris.

The Smart Monitor M9 is engineered for smooth, fast-paced gaming, featuring a near-instant 0.03ms GTG response time and support for both NVIDIA G-SYNC™ Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

HomeTheaterReview described the M9 as “one of the most impressive displays money can buy,” pointing to a responsive performance and “color accuracy that creative professionals will drool over.”

Whether jumping into cloud-based titles via Samsung Gaming Hub[3] or connecting to a console or PC, the M9 delivers the speed and clarity needed for an immersive gaming experience. The same reviewer noted they use the M9 just as often without a PC as with one, describing it as “the kind of paradigm shift that makes this monitor truly special.”

A Smarter Screen and a Smarter Experience: AI That Adapts to You
“Imagine a monitor so capable, you might forget to connect a computer,” wrote HomeTheaterReview, which awarded the M9 five stars and an “Editors’ Choice” distinction.

The M9 is a smart entertainment hub that provides built-in access to popular streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube, Samsung TV Plus[4] and Samsung Gaming Hub[5], enabling cloud-based gaming and content streaming, all without a PC.

Powered by the NQM AI Gen3 Processor, the M9 optimizes both picture and audio for a more immersive viewing experience. Intelligent features like 4K AI Upscaling Pro, AI Picture Optimizer and Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) Pro automatically adapt to content and the display’s surroundings to consistently provide reliable, high-quality entertainment.

Whether used for content viewing, cloud gaming, or everyday tasks, it delivers the flexibility of a monitor and the functionality of a smart TV. Techaeris calls the M9 “an outstanding monitor” and adds, “for those who only want to spend once, this is a solid choice.”

The M9 also features a 90W-charging USB-C, one HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, and eARC ports, supporting a variety of gaming and entertainment input needs. The slim metal stand, which offers tilt and height adjustment, “deserves special mention,” according to HomeTheaterReview, for its balance of form and function in a modern flat-back design.

The Smart Monitor M9 was named a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree, receiving the recognition for its advancements in display performance and intelligent features.

Techaeris named the M9 a Top Pick of 2025, citing its versatility across work, play and everything in between. That recognition joins a growing list of accolades across Samsung’s next-generation display portfolio, including a 2025 Techaeris Innovation Award for the Odyssey 3D G90XF — celebrated for its “mind-blowing” 3D experience and praised as the “real deal” for those seeking a 3D monitor without glasses.
