Customer Ratings & Reviews

I connected it with my MacBook M1. Monitor arm on table makes it more perfectly.

Amazing buy, Highest Quality monitor with Streaming channels and all at the same price as a Cheap TV! I use this for recording in my studio and it even charges my laptop. such a great find!

This is my second screen. Only issue since I have another identical monitor, the control that the screen comes with works for both… so I have both screens turning on when I don’t want it too… only issue I have with them… other than that… perfect for my Mac Pro setup! And works great with my PS5

Most monitors doesn't have built-in speakers anymore, luckily this works so I don't have to connect external speakers and runs perfect for my PC. If you need a monitor that uses G-Sync and speakers, this is the one.

Super excited to get this but it keeps flickering on and off. It’s a good concept on paper poorly executed on Samsung’s part. The reason why is the power cable isn’t designed well. Instead of having the cord come down it’s on the side. If the power cable was designed better and wasn’t kinked up in the box I think the device would work with no problem. I hope Samsung and other companies keep this in mind when the next generation comes out.

This is a bad monitor, but a good tv. It is way too dim to be useful. The photo attached to this review shows a Microsoft surface studio on the left and this Samsung monitor on the right. It doesn’t really do justice to just how much more dim the Samsung is. I’ve cranked up brightness and every other control to try to improve this.

First off….This monitor is big! I knew 32” would be but keep that in mind and really think about how big a space you have for it. If you have the space, It is really a spectacular crisp picture! It also has the capability to stream Netflix or Amazon ect. I have a few monitors in my office and my wife runs three at a time for her work and I have never had a monitor that really doubles as a smart tv. It felt like setting up a full size smart tv as well. What I mean by that is you have to login for each streaming service and connect your monitor to your wifi. Set up took a little time no fault of Samsung really it just has a lot of back end set up that is required to get all the streams working. But in addition to all the regular streaming connected tv set up, Samsung also made me set up a Samsung account. I get why they would want this… “Samsung Pay” and their assistant “Bixby” are going after Alexa, Siri and Google assistant. But I would have liked to just log on using my Google Account or Apple and be done and bypass theirs if I wanted to. I played around with Bixby and it's fine but how many more assistance does a person need. Back to the quality of the picture though. Samsung really knows how to make a monitor. All my 4k streaming looks amazing! It also has some easy presets for “dynamic” or “Cinematic “ color profiles. It’s also completely customizable for contrast and brightness ect. The Wi-Fi connectivity is fast (keep in mind that depends on your internet speeds and where you put it in the house) and the monitor is very responsive. The remote control size is compact and tucks away easily in a drawer. It’s pretty cool to have a fully fledge TV as part of my office set up. I know you can just go to the website and stream on any computer but having the ease of the remote and preset streaming shortcuts does make that a little easier. A concern I had with the monitor was the base did not seem very sturdy when I set it up on the desk top. The monitor is big and as such has some weight to it. The base feels small and the monitor sways easily when bumped or touched. It almost feels the base is too small for the size of monitor. It’s not a deal breaker for me but the monitor needs to be on a very level surface and not easily bumped. I would have liked a more sturdy and stable base for this size monitor. Overall a great monitor but 4 stars for me due to the forced Samsung account stuff thrown in on the set up and the movement of the monitor due to a compact style stand. But it’s quality of picture is great! Also a nice touch that Samsung provided HDMI, USB C, cables!

Great Monitor for my ps5. I love how it shows in 4K Quality.

I used this monitor for almost 1 week. This is my 2nd monitor for work, I am using Windows 10 for my work and video editing. I got a 4K 32 inch Samsung M7 Monitor, the screen size is perfect for the 2nd screen. I use PowerToy to divide my screen into 4 Full-HD windows, so I can monitor 4 systems at the same time. When I edit the video, I can use it to check the editing result. My older monitor can only be a "Monitor", it must be connected to a show something, like YouTube, or editing office document. Samsung M7 Monitor has a remote control, built-in speakers, and "Full Samsung TV OS". It has two HDMI inputs, it has 3 USB inputs, plus a separate one for USB-C. But, it is missing DisplayPort...this is the only drawback. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this provides a couple of TV feature and Cloud services. For example, it can connect to Microsoft Office 365 cloud service, Apple Airplay, and Samsung Dex service (if you have Samsung Phone). The M7 uses Samsung's Tizen OS, which you can have a good TV experience and install TV Apps, like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. The M7 has a crisp screen for the pc use case. It has good sharpness, or rather the absence of visible pixels. Even when sitting close to the screen, it is difficult to distinguish any pixel structure. The color is nice and neutral. The M7 brings out the nuances without exaggerating the color saturation. You can turn eye comfort mode that reduces the amount of blue light. That is a good feature for working late like me. When you switch to TV mode, it still offers good sharpness, which allows us to sit close to the screen without seeing a hint of the grid pattern. You can use build-in YouTube or Netflix to watch 4K video, it offers a good image quality in many areas. The M7 also offers a built-in speaker, they did a good job of playing music. If you want to use an external soundbar or separate speakers. It has both Bluetooth and HDMI ARC audio output, which makes it easy to upgrade the sound. Overall, Samsung always comes up with a smart product that may not “best” at anything but works perfectly for both work and entertainment. If you have a Samsung eco-system, you can always connect all your Samsung products together.

The physical design of the display itself is gorgeous. Thin bezels, thin stand base. The features on paper seemed great, too – USB-C with 60W PD, built-in speakers, and as a random added bonus having some "smart TV" features and a TV remote (though I wasn't planning on using any of these). Where it fell flat was actual picture quality of the panel. I was coming from a 2016-ish LG 27UD58P-B (a 27" 4K IPS display). Overall, screen brightness, even set to the maximum, was just not nearly high enough for a room with windows – though I should have checked the specs, which lists the brightness at just 250, so I suppose I should have expected that. Contrast, which is supposed to be good on VA panels, also seemed kindof lacking despite the listed specs (3000:1). The real deal-breaker for me though was the viewing angles, which I was a little concerned about with selecting a VA panel. Looking at a typical webpage dead-on from a normal viewing distance of ~3 feet, I could very visibly notice the left and right sides of the screen appeared significantly dimmer than the middle. If you move your head from left to right, the edges became bright enough. The viewing angles felt noticeably worse than I was expecting, and significantly worse than my old LG display. I thought head-on, everything would look almost uniform. Putting a pure black image on screen, backlight bleed was minimal on my unit. Connecting to a 2018 15" MacBook Pro, I had some issues getting it to display 4K @ 60Hz at first. macOS initially did 30Hz for this display. I had to go into Display settings, option-click on "Scaled", click "Show low resolution modes", and then select 60Hz from the refresh rate pop-up. I didn't have to do this with the LG. I was hopeful for this monitor, but it will have to go back, and I probably will look for an IPS panel next.

This product is a disgrace. After i used it for a while, it stopped detecting the input from the USB-C port. It only worked again after i factory reset it. Then after a dew days, there you go, again stopped detecting - tried with a windows laptop and a macbook pro. Im returning this.

Very sharp looking monitor. I do not notice any issues with edge glow or hot spots and the screen has nice uniformity. Motion is handled nicely and even though I prefer to turn off 'enhancements' this monitor doesn't over do the processing and movement is smooth without getting a 'soap opera' effect. The USB-C input is a nice touch and my phone and tablet both work flawlessly. I connected it to an Xbox Series X and the only option unavailable is Dolby Vision. The speakers are passible for casual use and actually a bit better than I was expecting. The screen does tend to lean a little warm in tone no matter what setting I choose, this could probably be solved by adjusting the white point settings but I haven't dug that deep yet. It's not really enough to bother me or even really notice without being side by side to a calibrated monitor. The built in apps are among the fastest I've experienced on any TV/monitor and may even edge out using apps on the Xbox. Very happy with this monitor.

Initial impressions on this was that it was big. I use a 27” 1440p and a 34” Ultrawide and this takes up the same horizontal footprint as the 34” Ultrawide. Being quite old, physically, our TV’s growing up were this size and now it seems normal to have a monitor this size. Physically: The monitor stand is very nice and made of solid metal (aluminum? steel) construction. It feels solid and the base is super slim allowing you to clear desk space quickly. Two gripes I have with the stand however are that it does not tilt down and the height is not adjustable. It is VESA compatible and simply comes on and off with a click of a button. The bezels are as slim as I’ve seen and the overall design is nice and clean. Screen: The screen is great. Simply put it’s 4k resolution. It does not look like a 32” 4k TV panel and you can tell this was made for a computer. There is no backlight bleed on the edges, the resolution is sharp. The panel does support HDR10 which is nice for when watching videos and movies on the included OS (more on that next). With a 8ms response time there’s not much, if any, motion blur when scrolling web pages. 4k resolution is a huge upgrade and I’m glad to see it becoming more mainstream. OS: There isn’t many, if any, other monitors that have a smart OS built into them. The monitor comes with a remote that resembles most Samsung TV remotes which makes changing settings and flipping inputs amazing. With the OS you can get pretty much any smart app that you can on your TV. While I wouldn’t use this for movie night, it is perfect for me to switch over to Netflix and watch something on while eating lunch. It also supports Microsoft Office 365 without any computer input. If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, just plug it in and you can start working on your documents or excel sheets. With the added Airplay, Google cast, and Samsung Dex support, it literally can be an all in one computer if you really needed it to be. Connections: USB-C is supported, but you might need to update the monitor software and/or your laptops graphics drivers for it to get it supported. The USB-C does charge the laptop at 65w as well so anything there or under should be fine to be powered by the monitor itself. The monitor does have WiFi as well. Overall this monitor is great do it all monitor. Will definitely looks forward to see how, and hope, Samsung develops this product line as it is a very versatile.

>> Overview This is one of the better ideas I’ve seen in a while. It is natural to ask oneself, why a regular monitor couldn’t work similar to a TV (with applications to allow streaming), especially if one had invested big bucks on an otherwise dumb 4K monitor. I wanted to have a bigger 4K monitor, at least a 32” size, to extend the view from my main laptop, a Surface Book. I also wanted the capability to watch shows/movies directly on it as opposed to streaming them from my laptop. Despite some missing features and details, e.g. no DisplayPort (DP) connectivity, the Samsung AM702 32” monitor is the perfect man for the job. Pros: easy switch from duplicating/extending your screen to streaming video, streaming apps available, several connectivity options to choose from, and most of all a 32” 4K monitor. Cons: no DP connectivity, not too-bright colors, and somewhat restricted viewing angles. >> Setup The device is easy to assemble and configure the first time, nothing really worth mentioning here, just some observations: - The stand that comes with the computer is not height adjustable, which kind of sucks as there are monitors out there that come with that feature (my 4K 27” Dell has it). - Stand doesn’t feel solid/stable, so I wouldn’t place the stand on top of books or similar to raise the height (as I sometimes do with monitors whose height cannot be adjusted). - Wall mount is separate from stand. Most monitors have the stand/wall adapter/connector at the same place (well most TVs have feet as well as wall connectors). - Some features require you to have a Samsung account (I have way too many accounts, will wait until I really need to create one). >> A TV or a monitor? To be accurate it doesn’t feel like a full TV neither a full monitor, but the combination plus the added features make this one a killer combo: - Missing to be a complete TV: Antenna/Cable connector. - Missing to be a complete monitor: DP port. >> Who would benefit the most from this combination? I write code most of the time and connect to my remote work machines from my laptop, but I also frequently watch videos on streaming applications. I have found that the monitor/TV combo to be very convenient in my case, when taking a break from work, I can watch something on the Samsung AM702 while still working on something on my laptop if needed (and not spending CPU cycles on streaming). I picture this to be the real deal for a College student stuck in his/her small/shared apartment with a small desk. The Samsung AM702 32” monitor would allow to do work/study from the laptop on a bigger screen as well as sit on the couch or lay in bed while watching some shows on TV. >> Video connectivity This monitor/TV has several connectivity options: wireless, HDMI and USB-C for video. Nevertheless, be mindful and consider the connectors/ports your computer has: - HDMI. I’ve found that HDMI doesn’t really work for resolutions below 4K. I have a docking station that supports up 2660x1440 through HDMI, but when trying to place that resolution on the Samsung AM702, it would show an unsupported resolution message. So, I had to go back to just HD resolution which made the big screen awkward when compared to the smaller 3000x2000 resolution of my Surface Book. I was not very pleased with this. - Wireless. First wireless connection attempt worked flawlessly (and at 4K). However, if you care about image and video quality this is not the best option (but hey, use the TV mode for watching videos then, right?). Nevertheless, wireless casting is very convenient (especially when projecting from your phone). - USB-C. Then came USB-C to the rescue. My Surface Book has a USB-C port and connecting it to the Samsung AM702 provided the best experience: I had an extended 4K screen running at 60Hz with great image quality. I would say that this is the “native” mode of connecting to this monitor. That being said, I also have a Surface Dock which only has miniDP ports for video (I have the miniDP to DP cables). I would have liked to just connect my Surface to the docking station and be done, but given that the Samsung AM702 doesn’t have a DP port, I had to use the provided USB-C cable to connect (an extra cable to worry about). This is not really a deal breaker, but something to consider if you are one of those people that want everything perfect. I would give this monitor a 4/5 rating only because of that. >> Picture Colors are nice, not too vibrant but it is 4K. Video is also nice, I like the fact that I can be working and next time I can be watching Netflix on 4K. It could be a little brighter, though (when compared with my Surface Book). The view from the side is not that clear; but, you are using this to mostly see/watch something while directly staring at it, not from the side, so I’d say it is fine for me. >> Sound Ok, even when connecting wirelessly, the sound coming of this monitor is great for its size. I am not expecting a 5.1 experience here, but I like how crisp the sound comes. Well, if you are not happy with the speakers provided by this device, then you can use the Bluetooth connectivity to connect to your preferred sound device. >> Smart features Several useful applications and, to me the most wanted one, Netflix, plays just nice. I haven’t explored the store, but it looks like there are plenty of possibilities for applications. >> Some notes This monitor has so many features to try. Just to name a couple, I have yet to try the Remote Desktop option (looking forward to it) and I haven’t used the voice commands as of yet (the latter needs a Samsung account and I don’t see the need to use that feature yet).

Great "little' 4k monitor for your everyday needs. Samsung clearly labels the AM702 as a monitor but it doubles as a fairly nice TV as well. Unboxing and setup was fairly simple. Just need a Philips head screwdriver and you're good to go. Screen can be mounted as it is VESA 100x100 compatible. Interesting note for this monitor, Inputs only include 1xUSB-C and 2x HDMI connections. Found that rather odd not to include DisplayPort but nonetheless does not hamper it's abilities at all. I ended up using the USB-C port to charge my phone and tablets and both HDMI ports for my PC and the other for my PS5. I did notice some others state they had brightness issues. I did not experience anything of the sort. I think when setting up the monitor for 1st use, it does ask if you want to enable an auto dimming feature and to those who rush setup, maybe that was chosen? You can of course go into the system settings and change it there too. The design is simple yet very nice. Non-curved almost bezel-less makes it a very attractive screen to be looking at. Web browsing, streaming even school work on 4k looked good. Did a bit of gaming as well and noticed that it does max out @ 4k 60hz (not a big deal for me) and even though it is 4ms response time, I did not notice any ghosting what so ever. I did use the DEX feature, and it works as intended. I like having my tablets on a 32" screen sometimes. Mirroring and even the Tap feature via Smart Things app all work. Sound is adequate at best, but show me a tv/monitor with great built-in speakers. For a small room/office or even a school dorm, I say it is close to perfect. Owning a few Samsung TVs, the monitor has a very familiar feel to it. Turning it on pops on with a HUB on the bottom like my QLED or UN75. I even had to stop using the remote to turn on the monitor as it kept turning on my TVs in the background (not an issue, it's my fault for that lol). Luckily there is a manual power button on the bottom middle. The hub itself has the standard apps like Youtube, Amazon Prime, Netflix etc and after setting up WiFi the stream quality (depending on your ISP) was flawless. Auto detected 1080 and 4k content. All in all, I do recommend this monitor for a multitude of reasons. Size and screen quality are on par. Sound is decent to use as a TV in a room/office. Samsung includes the USB-C and HDMI cables for you. Picture quality is great viewing FHD and UHD content. Screen is great as a 2nd monitor or as a single unit for TV/Streaming and Gaming. Another thing to note, the screen does NOT swivel but can be tilted up or down. So if you plan on moving around, note that this is a VA panel and the viewing angles will differ to everyone depending on where you are staring at it from.

Overall this is a great TV and monitor, superb quality image from my laptop to the screen. I purchased it for my MacBook Pro and use it with the MacBook Air that replaced it. I connect the laptop to the monitor using the USB-C port* and it both charges the laptop and sends video to the monitor. One cable makes it an easy solution to docking. Two issues keep it from being five starts: When the monitor is powered off it stops charging the laptop. So if I walk away for a day or so and leave it plugged in the battery drains. Second, the monitor only sometimes seems to work like a USB hub. I've connected a keyboard and one other peripheral to the monitor's USB ports and they work over USB-C about 80% of the time. I need to go back to the manual and try to figure out if it's something I'm doing wrong, or just the nature of the device. Again, overall though I'm very pleased with this, and enjoy that it can do streaming native, allows AirPlay from my iPad, and more.

Recieved a defective product with light leakage from the top.

The 32" Samsung AM702 is a beautiful 4k monitor that has all of the features a Smart TV has, in a smaller form factor. From having apps, a web browser, and the ability to cast to it, to an ARC HDMI port for audio return, this has many terrific features you'd usually look for in a TV. Upon opening the box, the monitor comes with its mount, a power cable, a 10GB/s USB C cable, an HDMI cable, a media remote with batteries, and a setup manual. Located on the back of the monitor are 3 USB ports (one as a service port), 2 HDMI 2.0 ports (1 with ARC), and a 65W USB C port that can either be used to charge or connect devices to use the monitor as an extra display (like a mobile device or from your laptops Thunderbolt 3 connector). Other than the monitor's slim profile, one of the nicer things you notice is the gorgeous HDR10+, 60Hz, 250 nit brightness, VA panel 4k screen. Greatly specced, it comes with a long list of very useful features that made me fall in love with it. Equipped with Samsung's smooth Tizen OS, it has the capability to install popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and even productivity apps like Office 365. Without the need of a computer, you can connect a keyboard and mouse and start working on documents right from the monitor - a very cool feature. Adding on to the feature list, another great one for those with Samsung or Apple devices, is the ability to cast or mirror your phone's screen with Samsung's Smart View or Apple's Airplay 2. I was quite impressed Samsung added Apple TV and the newest AirPlay 2 functionality to the monitor and both worked well for me. Lastly, in my great features list was Samsung adding the ability to use their mobile desktop solution Dex, wirelessly. Connecting my Samsung phone to the monitor with a tap, I was able to view my phone's apps from the 32" screen and use my phone as a keyboard and mouse in Dex. While there are many things to love about this monitor, there are a few downsides to it. Although monitors usually face oneself, when at an angle, the Samsung AM702's colors on screen become very slightly washed and it loses its full color. At about 45 degrees you will notice the very slight difference. Also adding on to picture quality, there is a noticeable soap opera affect when watching shows with standard settings applied. The effect became much less noticeable after making picture adjustments in the settings though. Overall, this is an amazing monitor loaded with all the bells and whistles. With Smart TV-like features and added features like wireless Dex and Apple TV and AirPlay 2, this monitor is loaded with useful tools. I would recommend this to anyone looking to use this monitor not only as a display for a computer but also for those looking to get more out of a monitor and have the added ability to lay back and watch TV while off work.

I was concerned after seeing so many negative reviews, but this monitor has so far exceeded my expectations. Smart TV function is awesome. Perfect if you watch Disney/Hulu/Netflix etc. Eye care feature is useful during long working hours. Viewing angles and color gamut are average, what one should expect for the price. Speakers sound surprisingly good. My only two concerns so far are: hdmi connnection with laptop only supports 4k/30Hz, can't change from advanced display settings of Windows. Workaround is using USB-C, which connects with 4K/60Hz with no issues, but will be a problem if I want two laptops connected. Second, I could not get the nfc connection to smartphone work. In summary, a great 2-in-1.

First off if you are a avid PC gamer this is not for you. If you want a large 4K USB-C/HDMI screen to connect your Apple or Windows PC then this is an exceptional value. If you occasionally game and watch movies this is very good as it is a mix of monitor and Smart-TV. Good: (5 Star for this context) - 4k UHD and pretty good for 60hz; Great value for capabilities - Apps like TV available, and Samsung Tizen interface - USB-C and HDMI, For a good USB-C monitor at 4k you are in $600+ range for monitors. Worked flawlessly. - 32" very good if small space or no room for two monitor and tv. -VESA (i,e mountable) Stand pretty cheap and wobbly Overall I am happy with this product BUT understand the down sides Bad: (3 star for dedicated gamers, or serious binge watchers) - Remote and menu take some getting used to, read and follow setup (Prob a YouTube video as well - Feels pretty flimsy and suggest you are very careful plugging in devices (But a lot of things are now) - If you game often and expect brightness and deep blacks. I think you would be VERY disappointed. There are some adjustments in menu that help on brightness.
