In a world where screens are central to how we live, work, and play, Samsung has raised the bar with the launch of its flagship Smart Monitor M9, a cutting-edge device that blends the power of productivity, the excitement of gaming, and the comfort of home entertainment into one stylish display.

Announced on June 25, 2025, the new M9 is more than just a monitor, it's a complete digital hub.

Designed for users who expect versatility without compromise, the M9 introduces Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) technology to Samsung’s Smart Monitor lineup for the very first time.

This 32-inch 4K display brings deep contrast, punchy colors, and sharp clarity, creating a viewing experience that’s rich, immersive, and impressively lifelike  whether you’re editing a presentation, binge-watching your favorite show, or navigating high-speed racing games.

But it’s not just the visuals that impress, it's how seamlessly the M9 adapts to every part of your digital lifestyle. Unlike traditional monitors that serve a single function, the Smart Monitor M9 is engineered to be a do-it-all solution, removing the need for multiple devices.

At the office or at home, the M9 becomes your workstation. With native support for Microsoft 365, you can work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without connecting to a PC.

When it’s time to relax, the monitor transforms into a smart TV with access to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and more via built-in apps. Prefer live content? Samsung TV Plus offers free streaming channels straight from the monitor.

And when you’re ready to game, the experience is smooth and ultra-responsive, thanks to a 165Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and full NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility.

Another standout feature is Samsung Gaming Hub, which lets users stream games directly to the monitor via the cloud which means no gaming console or high-spec PC needed.

Just pair a compatible controller and you’re ready to dive into titles on platforms like Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW. It’s a breakthrough for casual and hardcore gamers alike, combining low-latency performance with instant access to a vast library of games.

The M9 also leverages artificial intelligence to enhance your experience across the board. With AI Picture Optimizer and 4K AI Upscaling Pro, the monitor automatically adjusts image quality based on your surroundings and the content being displayed.

Sound is intelligently managed too, using Active Voice Amplifier Pro (AVA Pro) to deliver clearer dialogue even in noisy environments. And with Samsung’s OLED Safeguard+, the monitor includes a proprietary cooling system that reduces burn-in risk and extends the life of the display, something OLED users have long been concerned about.

The M9 supports Multi Control to work seamlessly across Samsung devices like smartphones and tablets, and with Multi View, users can display content from two sources at once. For example, streaming a show on one side while referencing notes or emails on the other.

For users who want one beautiful, intelligent, high-performance display to handle all aspects of their digital life, the M9 may just be the most compelling screen of the year.

Samsung is also launching updated models of its Smart Monitor M8 and M7, which offer many of the same smart features in more affordable packages. But for those looking to elevate every part of their screen time from 9-to-5 productivity to midnight gaming sessions the M9 is your choice.
