Samsung - AM702 Series 43" Smart Tizen 4K UHD Monitor (HDMI, USB-C) - Black

This monitor is really good for the money and value.I’m really impressed and more than satisfied with my purchase. I bought this open box so the price point was awesome considering how much all the thunderbolt 3/4 docks cost $300-500 and you still have to purchase additional dongles and adaptors so finding this with built-in USB-C connectivity was a much better value being incorporated into a 43” monitor plus there additional features like Airplay 2 connectivity. The shipping time was great but the boxing of my the merchandise was BAD!! I was surprise it wasn’t damaged due too the fact of the condition of the box. I have bought plenty of open-box but this was my worst experience with packaging of the merchandise.

Can’t say enough about this monitor. First, the set up was easy from start to finish and took less than 30 minutes. The sound quality is incredible and now I can watch a movie while eating lunch :D! Most importantly, the ability to multitask on this is nothing short of epic - Samsung delivers big@!!!

I purchased 2 of these for my home office. Was able to get all my streaming apps (vudu, disney+, you tube tv, hbo max, etc... They are great. Only 1 drawback I have found, that is I cannot use them both as monitors simultaneously. When connecting with my laptop, i can only use 1 at a time as a monitor. Not a killer for me as a 43" monitor can handle many spreadsheets. I use the other to watch MLB or NFL Network while working. Excellent quality and a respectable pricepoint for a 4k monitor. Remotes are battery free. No more AAA. The remotes are a great innovation. If a Samsung rep reads this and knows a way i can use them both as monitors simultaneously, I'd love to hear from you. Id give this monitor two thumbs up.

Think my first review didn't go through but all in all this monitor is dark even with all the brightness and contrast all the way up. TURN GAME MODE ON!!! Adds a lot of brightness and an amazing monitor I love it in full 4k and all the workspace I have. I almost returned it because it was too dark until I found the GAME MODE setting. Think game mode was off comparing the Samsung on the Left and the LG on the Right. But the single pic is with it on

I love this monitor, I use PowerToys to create multiple distinct zones in the screen. If you were to equally divide it into 4 sections, it would be equivalent to four 21” monitors stacked on top of each other. I first had an issue trying to connect my surface tablet and my surface laptop using the provided 4K USB-C cable, but switching it out with a Thunderbolt 3 cable worked. Its great only needing to use one USB-C wire to connect the display + provide power. I was able to put away my docking station and cable management is now a breeze, I love how clean my desk looks. I highly recommend this to everyone, I tell my coworkers about it all the time, my home setup is now more efficient than my in office setup. Side note: I mainly use this monitor for work but Ive watched shows on it a couple of times and its nice that Samsung TV Plus is free with hundreds of channels.

Love this screen. I was able to remove two large monitors from my desk and have this ONE screen. I can fit a handful of windows on it just fine for work. It connects to my Macbook Pro perfectly and doubles as a nice tv on breaks :)

I just received the smart monitor and it has major issues. It does not turn on. It attempts to load and would not bypass the initial Samsung smart monitor page.

I ordered both this monitor and the LG 43UN700-B, kept this one. Pros: * Came from dual 27" display setup, I love the increased screen real-estate and fewer cables * It's a BGR sub-pixel panel but the text clarity is decent (at least on a Mac, didn't test ClearType on Windows), the LG 43UN700-B sports an IPS panel, text clarity is identical to my eyes. * Lightweight and thin, this is the main reason I kept this monitor instead of the LG, it's only 18 lbs without stand, the LG is much heavier and bulkier. * Good backlight uniformity control. The LG has dark corners and edges, this Samsung is much better. Cons: * This is very subjective but I hate those TV features, just want a simple computer monitor. * Don't connect it to wifi unless you really want to use it as a TV, once connected it will load Ads and menu navigation will be terribly slow. I disabled wifi after firmware upgrade, Ads are still there but at least you don't need to wait for 5 seconds after pressing a button on the remote. * Don't connect through HDMI, text is visibly mushier with HDMI, use the provided USB-C cable. This is the same on the LG btw. * Color is quite off out of the box, I haven't calibrated yet hopefully it will be OK. * No signal when computer wake from sleep, extremely annoying. Do a search you will find lots of people complaining about this issue, it happens on both Mac and Windows. What worked for me so far: 1. Turn on the monitor; 2. Open my MBP from clamshell mode, wait for the laptop to fully wake up; 3. Unplug the USB-C cable, wait; 4. Replug the USB-C cable, wait, 5. If monitor still show no signal, repeat step 3 and 4. This is ridiculous, my 6 years old Dell monitor wakes up when I type on my wireless keyboard while the laptop stay in clamshell mode...
