Samsung Electronics<\/a>, a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, today announced that it has supplied monitors to support officiating and broadcast operations for select short track speed skating disciplines at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn environments where critical decisions depend on what people see, visual accuracy and reliability matter,\u201d said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to see our monitors used in these real-world settings, and we continue to focus on developing display technologies built on precision and trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Short track speed skating is one of the fastest and most technically demanding sports in the Olympic Winter Games. Races are often decided by razor-thin margins \u2014 sometimes as little as 0.001 seconds \u2014 and outcomes can hinge on brief moments such as athlete contact or the precise positioning of a skate blade. In these situations, officials rely on high-speed camera systems and real-time video review to evaluate incidents and ensure fair competition.<\/p>\n

To support this process across short track speed skating disciplines, Samsung monitors<\/a> are used to enable real-time video review and competition monitoring. With the aid of these monitors, officials can clearly assess critical moments and confidently make rulings.<\/p>\n

ViewFinity S8: Supporting Officiating With Clear, Reliable Visual Review<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In officiating areas near the field of play at Milano Cortina 2026, 37-inch Samsung ViewFinity S8 monitors (S80UD model)<\/a> have been deployed to support fair play through real-time video review and competition monitoring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ViewFinity S8<\/a> features a 4K UHD (3,840 \u00d7 2,160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, offering a large viewing area that allows officials to examine fine details without compromising clarity. Compared to standard 32-inch displays, the expanded screen enables clearer inspection of close calls at the same magnification, helping officials review footage with greater confidence. HDR10 support further enhances contrast and color expression, ensuring faithful reproduction of video feeds during critical decision-making moments.<\/p>\n

Odyssey Ark: Supporting Broadcast and Production Operations<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Samsung monitors<\/a> have also been installed in video rooms operated by Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), the official Olympic broadcaster for the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In these broadcast and production environments, Odyssey Ark\u2019s<\/a> Multiview feature supports teams monitoring multiple live feeds on a 55-inch display with a 1,000R curvature and 4K UHD (3,840 \u00d7 2,160) resolution.<\/p>\n

Designed to enhance immersion while minimizing visual distortion, Odyssey Ark<\/a> helps broadcast teams maintain a clear view of fast-paced action as competition intensity unfolds. A 1ms GtG1<\/sup><\/a> response time supports consistent image clarity during dynamic scenes, contributing to smooth monitoring across live production workflows.<\/p>\n

Bring<\/strong>ing<\/strong> Advanced Monitor Display Technology to Global Sporting Events<\/strong><\/h5>\n

During the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung<\/a> is carrying out its global Olympic and Paralympic partnership campaign, \u201cOpen Always Wins.\u201d First introduced at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the campaign reflects the value of openness \u2014 embracing differences, rejecting discrimination and creating greater possibilities through collaboration. At Milano Cortina 2026, the message is shared alongside Team Samsung Galaxy<\/a>, comprising official Samsung Olympic and Paralympic athlete ambassadors.<\/p>\n

Building on its experience supporting live competition and broadcast environments at Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung will continue developing monitor solutions optimized for global sporting events and complex on-site operations, supporting fair competition and seamless production under the most demanding conditions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
