Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Recieved a defective product with light leakage from the top.

Excellent monitor for the price. Only trade off is the latency to wake after sleep. This is not a gaming monitor but plenty useful for office work. This is VA panel and not IPS, so if viewing angle matters then this is not the monitor for you. Also it’s not color accurate so not ideal for photo editing.

I did a lot of research before buying this monitor. I wanted a 32 in monitor for my new M1 Mac. the first one I bought died on day 3. It just quit working. Fortunately, Best Buy has a great return policy and I was able to swap it out for another one. What I like about the monitor - it has a great 4K picture for viewing sports and movies - its remote is easy to use and the user interface is fairly straightforward - As a 32 in monitor, it has a lot of real estate for work. I barely use my second monitor. Some things I'm not so fond of but are not show-stoppers for me: - When powering up my M1 MAC, there is about a 5-7 sec lag before the monitor shows the screen and another 2-3 seconds lag before my mouse is usable. - I had to manipulate the contrast setting to increase the brightness on the screen, which was not intuitive to me. - in TV mode, rearranging your favorite apps is a little clunky All in all, I really like my Samsung AM702 Smart TV/work monitor and would recommend it if you spend a lot of time on your computer and/or need a combo TV/work monitor.

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.

I've been using this monitor for over a year. I love it. Gives me very little problems. Only things I would change would be the blue tooth disconnects every time. It would be nice if it would just connect to my speakers automatically instead of having to do it every time. The remote works great but be careful, all Samsung monitors respond to the remote so if you have more than one you might be turning on and off several at a time by accident. Other than that, I use it for photo editing and it does great.

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.

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.

So far so good. It took me months of searching for a monitor with the new world we live in. One day I found this new Samsung listed on BestBuy and the specs were very intruiguing. I had a SyncMaster from 2009 with the HDTV Tuner at 1080p which was starting to have a washed out picture. Took llong enough for this monitor to come out. Most 4K monitors seem to skip out on the speakers. not sure why. This one came with all the bells and whistles : two hdmi inputs, USBC, and a remote. It even came with all the cables! After reading all the reviews, I was nervous to go pick this up. Figured this was a defect and just like the rest of 2020. Been using this product non-stop and have not run into any issues mentioned in the previous reviews. Managed to buy this on sale for $319 on Black Friday sale. Ended up being way cheaper than most monitors that were on display at my local Best Buy.

Just what I needed. Me and my wife share the monitor with a Apple and a PC computer. It’s not the brightest but it’s good enough in our home office with the lights on. It has great speakers and I live the remote. Have not used the smart features yet but might be perfect for a college student in a little dorm room.
