If you own a Samsung Smart Monitor, there’s exciting news on the horizon. Samsung is expanding the Tizen 8 One UI update to eligible smart monitors globally. The new version debuted with 2024 smart TVs and recently rolled out to the 2023 TV lineup. Monitors are now getting it too. The rollout began recently and could take a while to reach all users around the world.
Samsung updates its smart monitors to Tizen 8
Samsung’s high-end smart monitors under the Odyssey, ViewFinity, and a few other lineups run on Tizen OS. They even come with TV remotes, enabling advanced functions beyond a monitor. You can use them as standalone smart devices compatible with the SmartThings platform. This also means Samsung can deliver regular OS updates to add new features.
After updating eligible TVs to Tizen 8, the company is rolling out the new version to supported monitors, bringing several enhancements to users. As announced at SDC 2024 in early October, this update introduces the One UI software experience to your big screens. Samsung aims to unify the UI across all its products for a more cohesive device ecosystem.
If the Tizen 8 update for Samsung smart monitors is anything like its TVs, you can look forward to numerous improvements and features. The company redesigned the Game Bar interface to offer a more intuitive and immersive gaming experience. The Multi-View feature has also been upgraded for smoother multitasking. There are tons of other changes and enhancements.
If you have a Tizen-powered Samsung smart monitor, watch out for this update in the coming days. You can also manually check if the One UI-themed firmware update is available for your device. Open All Settings on your monitor, navigate to Support, select Software Update, and tap Update Now. If the update is available, install it to enjoy the latest features and enhancements.
