I really like this monitor, so it's actually more like 4.5 stars. I use it both as a monitor for my PC and as a standalone TV and it works really well for both. I was impressed by the number of apps that are available for the monitor; it's not all of the ones I can get on my Fire TV stick, but it's pretty much all of the ones I use. Setup was easy and there is even a connection guide that walks you through how to connect different devices. The only thing I'm knocking half a star off for is that it doesn't seem to allow for a good screencast from my phone. I can mirror my iPhone screen, but it's iPhone sized. With my previous tv, I could screencast to the tv and it would be full screen. It's not a huge issue, but for the few apps that aren't on the tv, it sucks that I can't run the app on my phone and cast to the tv. It's really very minor, though, so overall I'm happy.

It’s sometimes very slow and sometimes I have to unplug it before attempting to download apps. Very nice screen but I haven’t had it for long and I have multiple dead pixels

Great picture, even from a distance. Bought this as a replacement for a TV that my 95 year old mother used, which required a decoder box for cable, so was really nothing but a monitor, anyway. The built-in sound system made it capable, where most monitors don't have that. It has dramatically made it easier for her to recover from a power outage, which used to leave her TV/decoder system in a state she could not figure out (so, she called me). Also the "smart monitor" stuff stays hidden unless you ask for it, so nothing there to confuse her. It would clearly work well on a computer, we've just not used it that way.

This is my first experience with a Samsung monitor. I was reluctant to switch from the brand I was loyal to for years. I LOVE, LOVE this new Samsung - AM500 Series 32" LED FHD Smart Tizen Monitor for working and online on the computer, watching streaming channels to ZOOM meetings. It is more than expected. The clarity, sound quality, easy to use remote for its various functions...so much to love. SOOOO happy I made this purchase! Oh, and the price was unbelievable too!!

Always great when Best Buy is one of the first retailers to offer new technology. The monitor works great as a primary monitor but as an added bonus the monitor works individually without a PC or Laptop. Great picture and very easy setup.
