For a limited time, Best Buy is slashing the price of the 27" Samsung ViewFinity S8 4K monitor to just $169.99. This deal, available only today, represents a significant saving from its usual $350 price tag on Samsung's site, although this model omits the USB Type-C port. Despite this, the ViewFinity S8 remains one of the sharpest monitors you can buy, making it an exceptional choice for productivity tasks, though not ideal for gaming due to better alternatives available.

The Samsung ViewFinity S8 boasts a true 4K resolution of 3840x2160, which translates to an impressive 163ppi. This level of clarity rivals even the sharpness of 27" 5K monitors, like Apple's $1600 model. Imagine setting up a dual 27" multi-monitor configuration with double 4K UHD resolution; it would nearly match the size of the Samsung Neo G9 57" dual 4K UHD monitor, yet cost a fraction of the price. Such precision is perfect for tasks requiring pixel-perfect accuracy or dealing with text-heavy content, although it might be overkill for gaming, especially considering the need for a more robust GPU.
Designed with productivity in mind, the ViewFinity S8 features an IPS panel with wide viewing angles and a highly accurate 99% sRGB color space. Connectivity is covered with HDMI and DisplayPort options, along with USB Type-A and Type-B ports. The monitor's refresh rate is a modest 60Hz, reflecting its focus on productivity rather than gaming.
Remember, this is a Best Buy deal of the day, set to expire at midnight. If you're considering a workspace upgrade, don't forget to explore the best office chairs, which are also great for gaming, and the best standing desks to complete your setup.
