Samsung Electronics said on the 12th that it is supporting fair judgments by referees and vivid on-site broadcasts by providing high-performance monitors to the short track venue at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics.
Short track is an event where rankings are decided by 0.001 seconds, and split-second moments such as slight contact between skaters or the position of a skate blade determine victory or defeat.
Display equipment for video review requires a much higher level of precision and reliability than standard products.
Accordingly, in the field of play zone where video rulings are conducted for short track at this competition, Samsung Electronics' 37-inch ViewFinity S8 monitors were installed.
The product provides an optimal environment for rulings with 4K UHD (3840×2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio.
With a larger screen than the conventional 32-inch, it displays finer elements of the action bigger, allowing crucial moments to be checked accurately.
Based on enhanced color reproduction and contrast expression, it renders every movement clearly.
At the scene, where countless screens must be monitored quickly to decide broadcast output, a large, high-resolution monitor with fast response speed is needed.
Samsung Electronics installed the Odyssey Ark in the video room operated by the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), the official Olympic broadcaster under the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
This product features a 55-inch large curved screen that minimizes distortion and maximizes immersion.
It supports 4K UHD resolution (3840×2160) and a fast 1ms response time, expressing the sport's dynamic scenes clearly and smoothly.
Lee Heon, vice president of the visual display business at Samsung Electronics, said, "We plan to continue introducing displays optimized for global sporting events and a variety of on-site operating environments."
