A: Answerconnect it directly from gpu ports to this monitorAnswered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionCan this monitor be used by PC/Windows computer?(5 answers)
A: AnswerTLDR - Yes. Detailed Answer - Windows 10 Pro doesn't like 5k that much and has scaling issues, but in 4k it's been pretty solid. My GPU supports both DP1.4 and HDMI 2.1 and can handle 5k res without problems, but depending on the app, you'll probably see scaling issues crop up more often than not when running in native 5k on windows. I especially had a problem when waking the monitor back up from sleep. maybe there's a 3rd party app option that could help with that, not sure. I bought the monitor to run with both mac and windows though... And for that purpose, it's clunky but works. The picture quality is great and the setup is simple enough, but you have to use either the samsung smart things app or the remote to switch between output ports or make any changes to the monitor using the built in "Smart" interface/UI (the clunky part). In my case, I have a DP 1.4 cable - came in the box, running directly to my PC GPU, and the thunderbolt cable - also in box - running direct to a thunderbolt hub. So far, so good. 4k is best for windows scaling, and letting the Mac do it's thing is best for Mac depending on how much space you want to work with vs distance to clealy read text. 27in might be a bit small for true 5k, but the monitor does support 5k on both windows via the dp1.4 cable and on mac via the thunderbolt port with the right ports and gear.Answered by MrMoviePhone
- A: AnswerShort answer, Yes. If you don’t already have one, get a good HDMI cable rated for more than 4k (S9 is a 5k monitor).

Samsung- 27" ViewFinity 5K Smart Monitor Rocks
With its exceptional value compared to the Apple Studio monitor, the Samsung- 27" ViewFinity S9 5K IPS Smart Monitor is a true game-changer. Not only does it offer the convenience of adjusting the height effortlessly using the stand, but it also allows for seamless rotation. Whether I'm using it as a monitor for my Mac Studio or indulging in a wide range of other content, this smart monitor never disappoints. Its versatility knows no bounds. However, the only aspect that prevented me from giving it a perfect rating is the subpar quality of the built-in speakers. To enhance my audio experience, I decided to invest in a Bose SoundLink II speaker and connected it via Bluetooth to both the Samsung- 27" ViewFinity S9 5K IPS Smart Monitor and my Mac Studio. This setup truly elevates the sound quality and provides an immersive audio experience.

Great value
I love this monitor. I was torn between it and the Apple studio display. I ended up going with this one. Great color accuracy. Big and beautiful screen. Speakers are ok. 4k camera leaves more to be desired. But the $849 price tag is what made me pull the trigger. Glad I did…

Crisp & clear display, but weak product support
I was looking to replace a 32” 1440 Dell display I had been using for a few years. The Samsung is a very bright and sharp looking panel. Colors and pictures look great. It is hard going from a 32” to a 27” monitor though. It is a lot smaller than you think. I tried calibrating the monitor with the Samsung application, but I learned after repeated calls to Samsung product support that the app does not work yet on an iPhone 15. The support folks don’t know much though and it took several attempts to figure it out. The other issue is a somewhat cumbersome display menu system. In the end, I returned it and went with a 32” 4k display for my Mac.
