Coming to the display specs, the 32-inch model comes certified with DisplayHDR 600 and is completely functional as well as capable of handling some HDR work. While, on the other hand, the 27-inch variant only features a DisplayHDR OF 400.

One other amazing spec about the ViewFinity S8 is that it supports height adjustment. Also, it features tilt and swivel screens paired with a VESA wall mountable.

Furthermore, one can also use the same for transferring their data easily along with accessing the internet freely. Not surprisingly, ViewFinity S8 also provides eye protection and can optimize the display according to the environment. Hence, the users can spend a long time designing or even watching their favourite content on the big HD screen.
