Samsung Electronics has expanded its ultra high-definition (UHD) monitor portfolio with the release of the new UE590 and UE850 UHD models. Available in 23.5- and 28-inch models, the UE590 is most applicable for entertainment seekers and gamers. Alternatively, the UE850’s (23.5-, 28- and 31.5-inch models) improved resolution and dynamic connectivity drive efficiency for professional, creative and analytical tasks.

Both new series present more than 8 million pixels and have four-times the detail clarity of full high-definition (FHD) alternatives.

The UE590 and UE850 support AMD FreeSync technology, which synchronizes the refresh rate of the monitor to the frame rate of a user’s AMD graphic card for a smooth and tearing-free game. Response times as fast as one millisecond in the 28-inch models also allows gamers to see even the fastest on-screen action clearly and smoothly, while a 60 Hz refresh rate further eliminates picture choppiness.

While both UHD monitors have integrated DisplayPort (DP) and HDMI ports, the 28- and 31.5-inch UE850 business monitors feature a Quad Interface that connects with DP 2.1, miniDP, HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4a sources. HDMI 2.0 and DP 2.1 support 4K resolution at 60Hz, which is double the maximum resolution of HDMI 1.4a (4K at 30Hz).

The UE850 also comes with four USB 3.0 ports, with two offering super-charging capability. Since the super-charging USBs enable the simultaneous charging of multiple mobile devices that is three times faster than a normal USB 2.0 port, the need for a docking station is eliminated.

The UE590 and UE850 allow users to align on-screen content with their specific viewing needs. A Picture-by-Picture (PBP) mode ensures content can be displayed from two different input sources while maintaining picture quality. Similarly, up to 25 percent of the screen can be repositioned and resized anywhere within the screen using the Picture-in-Picture 2.0 (PiP) mode.

The UHD monitors come with VESA-supported wall mounts, and the UE850 further extends viewing capabilities through a height-adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt, pivot and swivel capabilities. Professionals can also maintain aspect ratio consistency when pivoting the UE850 business monitor with a built-in auto on-screen display (OSD) rotation function and auto magic rotation software.
