Customer Ratings & Reviews

The features that this monitor comes packed with should be standard for all monitors. After all, no matter how much you pay nowadays, monitors are just dumb screens, but they can easily be so much more, and this monitor shows that. I knocked a star off because three reasons. 1. I noticed a small gap between the bottom bezel and the screen, which caused some of the backlight to bleed. I'm going to exchange this unit and hope the new one isn't damaged. 2. I could not get the Tap View feature to work. It sounds really neat, but it would not work on mine no matter which part of the bezel I tapped. Maybe there's a problem with the NFC on this monitor that hopefully the replacement will fix. 3. The viewing angles aren't the best, but it's not terrible. Overall, the features that this monitor offers are like no other. For the price, this thing is a steal. For someone like me, who wanted a TV come monitor in one solution without having to hookup my laptop to it each time, this is the perfect. Pair with that inbuilt speakers that sound good and get decently loud, power delivery over USB-C, and Samsung DeX, this is a great buy.

Wanted to treat myself to a newer screen and saw this item on sale and I went for it. I expected the size to be ridiculous for a computer screen howere it isnt. The screen size is just right and will not be oversized at all. The colors are fine and you have the ability to change the playing modes/brightness. I like that the USB C allows you to charge and display the screen of your laptop. I no longer need a power cord and hdmi cable i have less clutter now. The screen also allows for wireless display and it works as expected allowing me to sit further away from the screen and get work done. Apps are already pre loaded like hulu, etc you can download more with the various options in the samsung store. My only dissatisfaction so far is the apparent exclusion of Samsung TV Plus app which gives you some additional viewing options. The monitor can play similar apps it just seems weird this wasn't included or available for download. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SAMSUNG! I DARE YOU TO INCREASE THE USER EXPERIENCE AND ADD ADDITIONAL VALUE TO THIS ALREADY GREAT PRODUCT AND ADD THE ALREADY FREE APP). I would highly recommend this item especially if you're looking to upgrade your home office experience. The remote allows you to verbally communicate with the screen and get your actions completed quicker.

SUMMARY: This is an interesting monitor as it brings all the smart features of your Samsung TV's but to a monitor. Seriously, it’s packed full of them. But if I could sum up this entire monitor with a single saying it would be this. It’s a jack of all trades but master of none. And I think that is why this monitor is very hit or miss for people. AETHETICS/BUILD QUALITY: Starting off with aesthetics. This monitor is gorgeous and quite slim. It allows you to either use the stand, which is quite slim without any adjustments, or you can use a VESA mount. It even comes with a remote. Which is a new experience for me since this is considered a monitor. The remote is very nice, the same as you get with a Samsung TV. It has good weight and the buttons feel premium. However, they are limited and I would have preferred to have a few more. Unfortunately, due to this the onboard controls are lacking. There is a single button that you use to navigate by pressing it and then you hold to select. This button also serves as the power on/off. Overall build quality is great. I noticed no creaking or issues. PORTS: The ports are a bit unique as well since this is A. considered a monitor and B. a 4k device. It comes with two HDMI ports (2.0 capable of 4k 60 Hz 8 bits which was tested on a premium HDMI cable and RTX 2070) and a single 60-watt USB C port. But NO display port. The USB C connection is neat. As I was able to plug in my iPad Pro along with my Laptop and it not only showed the content but also charged the device. Which I thought was awesome. One thing that bothered me though is that when I put my computer to sleep it would say it couldn’t register a source and then would take 60 seconds to go into hibernation. Where my other monitor would do it immediately. So, I just turn it off instead. Which is neat because the on/off animation is cool looking. FEATURES: It supports Wireless DeX which appears to be a cool feature. But since I don’t own any Samsung phones or Android peripherals it doesn’t work for me. However, it does support Apple Airplay which did work just fine but I found the resolution and color depth to be lacking. It also uses the Tizen interface which I would assume supports all the same apps as their (Samsung’s) TV’s do. I found the interface to be slightly sluggish. But for the price consider it to be exactly where it should be. PICTURE QUALITY: Overall picture quality is good. Colors are accurate and skin tones look good. Despite it being an 8-bit panel. With it being 4K I expected it to be 10-bit. Blacks are pretty black due to the VA panel. But contrast doesn’t appear to be as good as I would expect for a VA panel. Also, since it’s a VA panel it doesn’t have the best viewing angles. I just said VA way too many times. Additionally, I find the brightness to be adequate but not what I want. In comes in at 250 nits. Which by today’s standards isn’t very bright. I consider my minimum to be 350 nits. With high tier monitors (costing at least 2 - 3x as much as this one) coming in around 1000 nits. But this is NOT an HDR monitor so I’m not that surprised. There is a setting under the system setting that automatically adjusts the brightness based on room light. This is On by default and I think is the reason why most complain about the brightness of this monitor because it doesn’t do a great job at adjusting. Once I turned this off and adjusted the brightness in the regular screen settings I no longer had an issue with the brightness as long as I wasn’t in a bright room. Last, when it comes to the overall sharpness of this screen I find it to be not be great and it can look blurry at times. Which shouldn’t happen with a 4k monitor. I also found the latency to be a bit higher than I personally like for gaming. I’m not saying you couldn’t use it for gaming but it’s on the slow side when it comes to that sort of thing. CONCLUSION: I really like that I can use this monitor for a bunch of different things. Such as connecting it to my main PC, then also being able to quickly connect it to my tablet or laptop via USB C. And if I want to watch any streaming media I can just access the smart features. I also found the speakers to sound really good for a monitor. So, if you are looking for a single monitor that can do a bunch of different things this thing is brilliant. If you are wanting fantastic picture quality and not going to use the other features then I’d recommend going with another panel. As the only thing that doesn’t make this an automatic recommendation is that the picture quality while being very solid isn’t great which is a bummer. It feels like I’m buying an entry level panel but getting charged a mid-tier panel price due to the other features. For me personally, and my setup I’d prefer a better panel and sacrifice the other aspects. But if I were back in college or a high school student I’d be all over this guy.

What a display! This is an extremely versatile high resolution device. I put this in a guest/office room so that the majority of the time it is being used as a computer monitor, but if a guest stays in the room, it can be used as a smart TV With the included remote control, genius!

Overall have grown to like this monitor as its a different style altogether. The mixture of monitor and smart tv seemed like you were getting a mediocre version of either and not the case. I needed a USB-C for a MacBook 16 and an HDMI for a Macbook 13 and this fit the spec. Teh remote is handy as constantly changing the screens and stack the macs to save desk space. Added a brio 4K camera and all good for teams, zoom, etc. The cons - screen is rather large and would I prefer a lower, wide version. Also the monitor only has one USB-C port which is limiting but for the price you can’t beat the flexibility to change the input and watch Hulu! Take a chance on this one as each day you get used to it more and more!

First smart monitor on the market and it offered the solution I was looking for. Even though you can get better OLED monitors, this monitor still offers 4K and I can have a monitor that also provides the Smart TV capability using all of my streaming services like Netflix and YouTubeTv. This monitor allows you to mirror your laptop or surface very easily and has multiple ways to connect with USB-C or HDMI. I have this in a very lit room and the anti-glare is very impressive. The colors could be brighter but it still provides a beautiful screen. It really just depends on the content that you have connected or playing.

Great product and really high quality features that provided more options than what I was expecting. Fits the whole dashboard and it is easy to navigate while updating the data.

The Samsung AM702 4K UHD Smart Monitor/TV is a really interesting product that is amazingly feature packed and versatile. The more I’ve played around with it, the more impressed I am with it. I think this is one of the most spectacular values I’ve seen in a monitor/TV. It has 4 main use cases: 1. You can use it as a Smart 4K UHD TV. 2. You can use it as a 4K UHD Monitor hooked up to your PC. 3. You can use it by itself as a terminal to connect to a remote PC (RDP) or the cloud for productivity work. For example, with just the monitor alone (and a keyboard and mouse), you can use Microsoft Office 365 from the cloud. 4. You can use it in Wireless DeX mode that allows you to use your supported Samsung phone or tablet as a computer. It has tons of cool features: 1. It has WiFi 5 for networking and connecting to Samsung soundbars and surround speakers. 2. It has Bluetooth 4.2 for keyboards, mice, gamepads, speakers, headphones etc. 3. It supports HDR10 and possibly HDR10+ 4. It supports advanced picture processing like motion smoothing. 5. It supports Airplay2, screen mirroring and mobile casting. 6. It supports USB 2.0 peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and external storage devices. 7. It has voice assistance and control with Bixby. The monitor came with a nice bluetooth remote, an HDMI cable, a USB-C cable, a quick setup guide and 2 AA batteries for the remote. Set-up was very simple as you only needed to screw a few Philips screws to attach the base to the monitor. The monitor was huge but very light weight and slim with thin bezels. Powering up, you go through a series of menus to connect to your WiFi network, setup a Samsung account (I already had an account because of previous Samsung products), setup Bixby, and then you can install any apps you want from the app store. Overall build quality seemed very good. At the upper left edge I noticed there was some spacing between the edge of the glass and the bezel but it didn’t bother me. Inputs include 2 HDMI ports (HDMI-1 supports ARC), a USB-C port that can be used for display and supply 65W for charging, and 3 USB 2.0 ports (one of which is also used for service like updating the firmware) for attaching peripherals. Since a PC hooked up to a monitor can also stream NetFlix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and YouTube, why would you need or want a monitor to be “smart”? One good use case came to me when I hooked up a laptop to the Samsung AM702 that hadn’t been upgraded in a long time. It took about 30 minutes to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10 but I was able to entertain myself watching YouTube videos during the process. If I were using a regular monitor, I would have been staring at my laptop screen while it was updating. With a smart monitor, you can turn on the monitor and quickly go to your favorite app to immediately start streaming. You don’t have to wait for your PC or laptop to boot up. Most PCs and laptops also emit fan noise while they are ON which can be quite distracting. Using just the Samsung AM702 to stream is super quiet and uses less energy. Finally, this is a real 4K UHD TV with some fairly high end video processing that most computer monitors do not offer. So, streaming videos and watching movies from Blu-rays will potentially offer better quality in TV mode than in monitor mode. As a Smart 4K UHD TV, I was very impressed with the image quality. The image was sharp and colors looked rich and natural. It has support for advanced video processing such as HDR10 (some specifications on the web indicates it also supports HDR10+ but the user manual makes no mention of it), Contrast Enhancer, Jutter Removal, LED Clear Motion, Gamma, Color Tone, Color Space Settings, Shadow Detail, White Balance and many more which are not normally available in a computer monitor. Playing an UHD movie on Vudu indicated that HDR was being used but I couldn’t actually find any explicit HDR settings in the menus. This was my first time using Samsung’s Tizen OS and overall I found it to be intuitive, fast, and easy to use. The Tizen App Store has most of the apps I want (NetFlix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Vudu, Hulu, YouTube, HBO Max, Plex etc.). The only app that I wanted but was missing was Peacock. Overall, I found the app store to be very good. While mostly intuitive, I found the options for picture adjustment to be a little confusing. Some of the confusion was the result of not being familiar with Samsung’s terminology and not having a clear idea of how the picture presets, custom expert adjustments, and different source inputs (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, USB-C, and Smart Apps) all interact with each other. Sometimes when I make custom setting adjustments or switch back and forth between presets (Dynamic, Standard, Natural, Movie, Filmmaker), the effects are not consistent. Also, some presets and custom expert adjustments were only available on certain source inputs. Only Standard and Dynamic presets were available in USB-C. Actually, Game Mode was also available but it was confusingly accessed through another menu. Filmmaker mode was not available using the USB-C source input. I looked up Filmmaker mode and it’s a recent standard created by the UHD Alliance which is meant to ensure that we get the best cinematic experience by overriding all video processing such as motion smoothing to achieve the proper frame rate, color and aspect ratio as intended by the director. With Filmmaker mode ON and watching Disney+, it did feel like I was watching a movie in my local theater. Most movies are filmed at 24 fps. Looking at the user manual, 24 fps is not supported by the USB-C input. For 24fps you need to use the HDMI inputs. This is probably one of the reasons why Filmmaker mode isn’t available on USB-C. To me Filmmaker mode is a very high end feature and I’m very happy that it is available on this TV/Monitor. The built-in 5W speakers are surprisingly good from such a slim frame. I normally have it set at 20 (out of 100) and it was more than loud enough for me. There are 2 additional sound modes called Adaptive and Amplify. I’m not exactly sure what they do but Amplify seemed to bring out vocals. You can also connect it to wireless or Bluetooth speakers for better sound if you want. In summary, I found the Tizen Smart TV platform to be intuitive, fast and easy to use for streaming apps. Moving between apps was very fast. It is also very powerful and comes with many options and customizations that are usually found in higher end TVs. As a 4K UHD Monitor hooked up to my laptop using the USB-C input, I was at first a little disappointed with the screen brightness. Things seemed a little dull compared to my laptop screen. Text was clear but the contrast of black text on a white background didn’t meet my expectations. Text wasn’t as black and crisp as I wanted it to be. Playing around with the settings, I eventually set the picture to Game Mode and that seemed to do the trick for me. Now light text on a dark background and dark text on a light background look fantastic and are crisp and clear. As a programmer, text clarity is very important to me. Game Mode does something similar as Filmmaker mode in that it turns off most video processing to reduce lag. Video processing that is designed to improve the picture quality of video by smoothing motion might make static images like text appear softer. By bypassing most video processing, Game Mode is actually a good mode to use for computer productivity and not just for games. While the Samsung AM702 lacks some of the newer features (Freesync, G-Sync, high refresh rates etc.) aimed at gaming, it does have features like Game Mode (bypasses video processing to reduce lag), HDR (makes graphics more vibrant) and Ultrawide Game View (changes screen to a wider 21:9 aspect ratio). These features make the Samsung AM703 a pretty decent gaming monitor. Games like Witcher 3 looked and played great. Using Remote Access, I was able to run Microsoft Office 365 using just the monitor and a Bluetooth connected keyboard. I thought this was pretty cool. You can also remote desktop to another PC. This TV/Monitor is basically a thin client computer all by itself! Another thing I noticed is that the Samsung AM702 detected my HDHomeRun tuner on my network and I was able to view live TV with it. It didn’t have a TV Guide but instead presented the channels as folders. This TV/Monitor is jam packed with so many features that it is almost impossible to test them all out. I think this product is perfect for someone who lives in a small space and would like to have something that can double as both their main home entertainment center and as their productivity PC workspace. Not only do you get a Smart 4K UHD TV with a higher end feature set, but you also get an excellent 4K UHD PC monitor too. I think it’s the best TV/Monitor value out there. It has plenty of connectivity options to grow with the user. Nothing comes close to it. It’s an amazing value.

Nice picture! Love the smart features of the Samsung brand.

I really like this monitor. I have a Mac Mini M1 and a PS4 Pro connected to it. They both look fantastic. My PS4 Pro at 4K 60 Hz gives the PS5 at 120Hz in my LG CX OLED a run for its money on this monitor! I like the smart features like Apple Airplay. It makes playing content from my phone really easy and quick. It has speakers that aren’t that great, but decent for watching YouTube or a TV show on Netflix. It streams seamlessly, it’s basically a perfect 50/50 split of a 4K smart TV and computer monitor. It’s light and thin. I had no issues using a standard boom mount from Ama***.

I bought two of these monsters and have them for my MacBook Pro 16 inch if you just get a hub and connect the USB-C cables to that it’s been such a crisp clear editing bay and out of all the monitors at that price point this is honestly the best with the best resolution Photoshop looks clear normal websites look amazing and just the ease of use with having its own remote Definitely complements the piece

Excellent monitor. Love the fact that this can be use as a mini tv with built in speakers and a remote control.

No issues and works very well with my laptop computer. That is a pro book HP.

First off, this thing is huge! Make sure your work surface is large enough to accommodate a monitor this size. The monitor is 28” wide and 20.5” tall when using the stand that comes in the box. The only adjustment the stand allows is tilt. The box was packaged tightly with some recyclable packaging and a Styrofoam shell to protect the screen. I do wish manufacturers would move away from Styrofoam... But the good news is that in the box, you will find everything needed to get started, including cables (power, HDMI, USB-C), remote and batteries. To assemble the stand, you’ll need a Phillips head screwdriver. Screw the riser into the base, then attach the stand to the back of the monitor with 2 screws, plug it into power, plug into your PC/Mac and follow the prompts. I was up and running within 10 minutes. Once you’ve gone through the login into your Samsung account (or you can create a free account), you can start customizing your smart monitor. First impressions: You get a large desktop in which you can easily fit multiple windows side by side. The text and definition worked well for a work monitor. The 60Hz refresh rate proved to be inadequate for any HD gaming, so this is definitely NOT aimed to that market. Watching videos was adequate except for high action parts, where you might see some pixelation. I think that where this smart display works best is when you use the smart features. So you get a large screen to work on documents, that can double as a TV. The remote included worked well and has a layout that is intuitive. Once you have logged into your streaming services, you can switch back and forth from desktop monitor to TV. As a combination monitor/smart display, you have a good amount of available ports to connect many devices and game consoles. You get 2 HDMI, 1 USB-C and 2 other USB ports. The speakers work well as expected but I wouldn’t use them above 60% or so. I would recommend a soundbar or headphones for any extended use. Another cool thing is that you can use Airplay to wirelessly connect your mobile phone/tablet and use it as an external display to share your pictures, videos and whatever else you desire. Overall, I am pleased with the quality of build, the amount of usable screen and the smart features.

Works great. Could be better if it could be brighter.

This Monitor is one of the first in its Class, it has a remote, speakers and smart TV capabilities. Along with Samsungs bells and whistles. I use my Samsung fold and tablet 7plus to connect to the Monitor wireless and it is too good. But not good for gaming.

This Samsung Samsung - AM702 Series 32” monitor has a detailed 4K picture in addition to TV streaming functions like Netflix and YouTube. We both have Samsung phones and with the Samsung app we are able to mirror our phones; it also has various connections with USB-C or HDMI. I have this in a very well lit windowed room; the anti-glare is great. We compared it to our wonderful 1080P 32” TV with the same cable TV feed and this Samsung AM702 is the clear winner in terms of picture clarity. We connected a Chromecast device and YouTube is clearer and more detailed than we have ever seen from our 32” 1080p TV. The 65w USB-C port is a wonderful feature to have in monitors at this price. It easily charges up both our phones and a 12 inch Samsung tablet with a huge battery fast. It also allows data and video connection for Windows 10 computers with that USB-C port onboard. The 65 W USB-C port is also a video input. That means the supplied USB-C cable will both charge your USB-C laptop and send the video to the monitor so anyone can use a single USB-C cable to connect a compatible laptop. The brightness is fine considering we have it facing 2 East side windows which get much light up until 11 AM. Not sure if everyone else has learned about the 4 picture modes which also produce a very bright picture if used. It is part of the settings menu. NO Alexa control, NO Google or Apple control which is surprising with all new devices having such control from microwaves, to toaster ovens as well as TVs today. Maybe Samsung will add it in an over the air WiFi update? The monitor has 3 GB of on board memory capacity of which barely 1.3 Gb is used on our monitor with some extra apps installed. We can’t try the DEX function since we do not own the specific Samsung phone models that are compatible. Get to the settings menu this way to adjust the brightness levels since it seems many of the reviews mention persoanl conflict with their monitors: Home, tab over to the extreme left of the app module until the gear symbol is selected and hit the center “enter” button on the remote. Go to System Manager, notice auto Sound ECO solutions, and Power saving Mode re brightness levels. Use the left right control to adjust the brightness! In the System Maintenance menu is also a function to delete apps and clean out the cache (same as on smartphones) There is also a menu for Yes or No on Auto Source Switching for the various inputs ports on this monitor I adjust the brightness level to about 35 out of 50 and noticed that they wattage usage dropped down to about 30-34 watts (I have a KilAWatt meter at home) from approx 54 watts of usage with the factory setting that was on full brightness. [There are some discussion online in general regarding turning down the brightness and backlight settings on LED TVs to greatly extend the life of the LEDs and to save on your electric bill.] Wish Samsung would put out a more detailed owner manual instead of a rudimentary visual set up flier and a brochure on their web site. I like it!

The speakers and the size and wight are so prefect super thin screen best monitor out there today would buy now before they sell out

First off, the monitor is quite large. Along with the monitor (monitor, neck, stand), you get a HDMI cable, a USB-C cable, the power cable, and of course paper inserts (manuals, etc...) Assembling the monitor takes less than a minute. You will however need a Philips head screwdriver to attach the three screws. You monitor can be used in two distinct ways; one as a good old PC/Mac monitor, the other as a stand alone streaming tv. Once you turn it on, you're brought to a welcome screen. This allows you to choose your language, set up the Wi-Fi, sign into or create a Samsung account, and add apps. I first decided to try out the monitor on its own. I launched three different types of streaming services to see how good the movies looked. (I had changed the setting to dynamic and raised the brightness all the way up) The first thing you will notice is that the colors are somewhat muted. They aren't as vibrant as they are on my phone or laptops. The 4K video looked great, but the video stuttered a bit in the beginning, but it went away after a few seconds. Next I connected it to my laptop and this is where I noticed the biggest disparity in color. I looked at the colors side by side and I could see the difference right away. I connected my laptop to the monitor via the USB-C cable. The response was good, no lag. The biggest letdown of this monitor is that it's only 60hz. I'm guessing that this monitor wasn't aimed at gamers but casual consumers who wanted to watch something when not working. Finally I connected the monitor to my gaming console. The games looked great and no input lag on any level. The gaming mode on the monitor didn't do much when I was playing. It dimmed the screen a bit, and the adaptive brightness did its job, but nothing amazing. The Tizen operating system is a bit slow, and using the voice control of Bixby is hit or miss. (It didn't even recognize my voice on two occasions during the initial set up) All in all this is a great monitor with a few cons. I think with a few improvements, the next iteration of the monitor can be even better. For this monitor, it's not aimed at gamers or content creators. This is mainly a monitor for the casual user.

Wonderful and amazing smart monitor. Easy to use and great quality.
