The Smart Monitor isn’t the only new device, alongside the Smart Monitor, Samsung announced the Samsung 2D/3D gaming monitor. Here’s what we know.

As of this article, Samsung announced the Smart Monitor and the 2D/3D gaming monitor but also mentioned and teased a “lifestyle monitor” called, The Link. We don’t have much info on this, but we will update when we do.
Update on THE LINK: Whether it’s the office, an at-home setup or a gaming den, multi-monitor setups are the norm. But often, they’re uneven, mismatched and fail to properly connect with each other for a seamless experience. To solve that, Samsung is introducing The Link – an aesthetically pleasing multiscreen setup. It’s not only a super-thin 4K 32-inch LED monitor, but it’s the first to enable multiple The Link connections without separate cable. Connect as many monitors as you need to get your perfect setup, with each offering premium picture and sound quality, as well as smart features.
