For today only, Best Buy is offering the 27" Samsung ViewFinity S8 4K monitor for just $169.99—a steal! This is comparable to the $350 Samsung model, minus the USB Type-C port. However, this incredible price makes it one of the sharpest, most affordable monitors on the market. While not ideal for gaming (dedicated gaming monitors offer better performance), it's a fantastic choice for productivity tasks.

27" Samsung ViewFinity S8 4K IPS Monitor
$419.99 $169.99 at Best Buy
The Samsung ViewFinity S8 is a 27-inch monitor boasting true 4K (3840x2160) resolution, resulting in a crisp 163ppi. Only 27-inch 5K models (like Apple's pricey $1600 option) offer superior sharpness. Imagine a dual 27-inch setup—nearly matching the size of a Samsung Neo G9 57" double 4K UHD monitor, but at a fraction of the cost! This exceptional clarity, combined with the smaller screen size, is less crucial for gaming (especially considering the need for a high-end GPU) but perfect for pixel-perfect work or text-heavy tasks.
Its features are geared towards productivity. The IPS panel provides wide viewing angles and accurate 99% sRGB color reproduction. Connectivity includes HDMI, DisplayPort, USB Type-A, and Type-B ports. The 60Hz refresh rate is perfectly adequate for its intended purpose.
