thanks for the insight on the monitor only being compatible with bluetooth speakers; would you have any recommendations on bluetooth speakers with low latency?
Use HDMI output for connecting audio home theatre Or soundbar. Good thing it also supports eARC granted the USB 2-0 is a letdown in this day and age but at least there's the USB Type C!
Is there any benefit to getting these vs just a QLED Samsung for approximately the same price? I don't really game, just want a larger mounted monitor to add some real estate to my laptop for audio editing, graphics and TV watching.
I have the 32 inch M7 version of 2022.. Compared to the 27 IPS 4k screen I've got, the Samsung screen quality is really bad.. But it gives you smart TV function and HDMI ARC port for soundbar..
I doubt. The split screen issue is from the operating system of the TV itself. Which means we'll have to use MacOS or Windows to imitate a split screen, which defeats the purpose of having a smart monitor to begin with.
Yes you can, provided your sounder or speaker system supports"HDMI(ARC)". The monitor DOES have a "HDMI(ARC)" port and you can use that for your sound output.
Hi, I dont really game much, mostly work, watch neflix, play switch and play teamfight tactics. should I get this or a TV? I am using a laptop MSI Modern 14, I7-1255U, Intel Iris(r) Xe Graphics, HDMI 2 port
For sound it does have HDMI eARC, so you can connect a soundbar via HDMI cable for better sound! It also has built in Samsung Dex support, which you did not mention! So if you have a Samsung phone that supports Dex, then you can connect either wires or wirelessly to the monitor for better functionality!
I'm looking for a 43" monitor specifically as a work PC monitor. Price on this is great compared to a standard monitor. Would you recommend this for my need or do you have another recommendation?
I'd recommend you get a 43-inch TV instead. Should be cheaper than a 43-inch monitor but the panel isn't as quick or have features like adjusting brightness via you PC for example.
I got this at Micro Center for $370 a week ago to replace a 32" monitor. Text is crisp and clear. Colors pop. So far the only disappointment is the short 1 year warranty and the USB-C cable that accompanies it is much too short.
Thank you for your nice video. I received the monitor yesterday, but there is no video signal from my m1 Mac mini or from my iPad 10th gen. It is working as a hub and the iPad is charging, but no video from them. Can you help me please? Thank you in advance.
Its difficult to tell which cable you have though. You'll need a USB 3 C to C cable. Easiest way is to use a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 cable as they're labeled clearly.
There is an issue that when you connect your laptop by HDMI TH-cam videos ( except 4k 8k ) playing by lagging. I went to the store yesterday and checked with Samsung staff there. They told me have not realized before this issue. There has to be a setting / or settings which will sort out this delay. It is 60 hz and when i connect my Apple Cinema Display 30 inch it works great. So it made me thought. Even it has DVI connected monitor. On the other hand when you play TH-cam videos through monitor's own app then it works flawlessly. So same device and different outcomes ...
how about upward converting 720p and 1080p contents and streaming Netflix with fiber optics, do you think this m7 is better or low end samsung 4k tv such as u7000 better? thanks
The usage is different. If you only want to watch Netflix on the TV, then get the 4K TV. The only benefit of getting the M7 is the ability to "do work" with it.
42 or 43 is best size for a monitor ... i will never use any monitor or pc speaker ... btw who would use a 43inch tv/monitor speaker ... a klipsch is an easy fix
mmm i like this monitor and I now want one in 43 inch...lol.....I will add external speakers KANTO TUK's with a matching subwoofer....should be perfect i think for my PC....will be NO GAMING but will be NETFLIX...WEB SURFING...SOCIAL MEDIA...UTUBE....AMAZON PRIME..DISNEY PLUS etc....what are your thoughts on this set up...thx ...cheers from Canada
@@NasiLemakTech no not unequal. Between screen and bezel it has 1 cm gap on all three sides except Bottom. The samsung guy said it is that way bt default.
I never tried the Prism+ TV before. If you're looking for a pure monitor, then you don't need these smart features honestly. They're more like a bonus for those who want to also stream movies from sites like Netflix without the need of a laptop or desktop.
Thanks for reply. Personally, the media experience is also important to me 😅. I'm looking for a 43" 4K monitor, but was wondering if 4k tv of the same size would be a good alternative, as tv have other convenient features too.
Windows auto turn off screen after specified minutes in power plan settings, Normal monitor > click mouse or tap the keyboard > the screen will be on again. This Smart Monitor is different, it go to sleep state but is not on again (must use remote to turn it on) Anyone have the same issue?
Thank you! Helped me decide this isn't really what I wanted.

Use HDMI output for connecting audio home theatre Or soundbar. Good thing

You can use audio jack 3.5mm ports in your laptop or PC

Just get the QLED TV. I really don't see a purpose of this monitor existing, tbh.
@@NasiLemakTech Thanks! I think this review and your response have convinced me to do exactly that. Cheers!

Using type -c to 3.5mm jack can we use for external speaker 🔊?
I'm wondering of this too. If i can use my ear buds if i use a 3.5mm jack to usb c converter
Is it possible to overcome split screen issue by using Microsoft Power Toys app?
I doubt. The split screen issue is from the operating system of the TV itself.
Which means we'll have to use MacOS or Windows to imitate a split screen, which defeats the purpose of having a smart monitor to begin with.
Great honest review I'm waiting for my to come in the mail
Hope you enjoy it!
Can you use a soundbar via hdmi to avoid the audio latency? Or does that mean you lose the port to be able to plug a laptop in?
Funny enough, that feature is not listed on the spec sheet and I don't have any HDMI soundbar to test.
That feature is called HDMI ARC or eARC.
Yes you can, provided your sounder or speaker system supports"HDMI(ARC)". The monitor DOES have a "HDMI(ARC)" port and you can use that for your sound output.
@@calmserenitytranquility6353 Thanks, I was about to give this monitor a pass before seeing this comment
I’m buying this monitor this week, and the HDMI ARC was a main feature i needed. HDMI port 1 is ARC
You can use audio jack 3.5mm ports in your laptop or PC
Hi please confirm whether one HDMI is ARc , so why can't we connect it to a sound bar with the same
Dude u cn always connect ur audio system directly to ur pc...or even u cn convert them to usb and plug in directly to the monitor.
Did you try doing this? Would love to connect my speakers directly to the monitor as I will be using it with multiple devices.
Hi, I dont really game much, mostly work, watch neflix, play switch and play teamfight tactics.
should I get this or a TV?
I am using a laptop MSI Modern 14, I7-1255U, Intel Iris(r) Xe Graphics, HDMI 2 port
Can, just that this monitor isn't actually a TV. Doesn't have the TV tuner functionality
@@NasiLemakTech Who uses a tv tuner nowadays? 😂
For sound it does have HDMI eARC, so you can connect a soundbar via HDMI cable for better sound! It also has built in Samsung Dex support, which you did not mention! So if you have a Samsung phone that supports Dex, then you can connect either wires or wirelessly to the monitor for better functionality!
DeX works on regular monitor too. I don't have to pay extra for this.

@@NasiLemakTech tv as pc monitor? tell me you are not kidding
Dont use tv for pc monitor....
Recommending to use a tv as a monitor connected to a computer is totally crazy.
Won't using the 3.5mmaux input from the pc tower solve the audio issue?
Only for the monitor part. Once you use it as a TV, you're stuck with the internal speakers again
I use soundbar with aux and hdmi arc for this monitor... Aux for pc and hdmi arc for tv ( tizen os)
Was the webcam included?
It's not, I believe it's the only M8 that includes the camera, the colorful ones.
Thank you for your nice video. I received the monitor yesterday, but there is no video signal from my m1 Mac mini or from my iPad 10th gen. It is working as a hub and the iPad is charging, but no video from them. Can you help me please? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching!
Your situation seems weird. Which cable are you using?
@@NasiLemakTech I used 3 different cables, one being the USBc to USBc cable that came with my iPad.
Its difficult to tell which cable you have though. You'll need a USB 3 C to C cable.
Easiest way is to use a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 cable as they're labeled clearly.
I want to use this mainly for gaming streaming & editing & uploading to TH-cam will I need a PC to do that?
Yes. I've seen people do it on a phone or tablet but I personally prefer a PC

So do you use it?

I wanna buy it to play PS4 and watch netflix and that kind of stuff would you recommend it ?
I suggest just getting a Samsung TV. No need to get the Smart Monitor for that purpose
@@NasiLemakTech but would it worth it ı mean i live in Turkey and there is a price difference of almost half the minimum wage
Yeah for PS4 and Netflix purpose, just get a basic Samsung TV. Don't need a smart monitor.
mmm i like this monitor and I now want one in 43 inch...lol.....I will add external speakers KANTO TUK's with a matching subwoofer....should be perfect i think for my PC....will be NO GAMING but will be NETFLIX...WEB SURFING...SOCIAL MEDIA...UTUBE....AMAZON PRIME..DISNEY PLUS etc....what are your thoughts on this set up...thx ...cheers from Canada
I think it should work fine for your usage.
The Kanto speakers is a good choice too. I think it'll be a really great setup!
Does anyone know if this supports ethernet adapter via USB A adapter or USB C ?
Literally my daily driver.
How's it boss
Connector type ?
And please explain differences
Connector type as in the display inputs?
Hi I have same monitor. Does ur monitor have around 1 cms gap between border and screen area
As in the bezel or from the bezel inner part to the screen area?
@@NasiLemakTech from bezel to screen area. I think 1 cm gap in top left and right but not bottom.
Oh you mean the screen has unequal gaps between the 4 sides.
I probably recommend you to send it in for warranty.
@@NasiLemakTech no not unequal. Between screen and bezel it has 1 cm gap on all three sides except Bottom. The samsung guy said it is that way bt default.
Hello, how is the screen of this monitor?.
Can we have 2 input run side by side
That's something that I didn't test. I think so?
@@NasiLemakTech if possible, could you pls try it in your machine ? As i need to make purchase decision
How do you compare this vs using 43 4k tv as monitor? Like prism+ q43

This Smart Monitor is different, it go to sleep state but is not on again (must use remote to turn it on)
Anyone have the same issue?
I bought the same but my eyes Pain while gaming
Is 43 inch too big for coding ?
Depends on how close you sit in front of the monitor. I'd say generally yes, too big.
No.
That's a good model for those who want a 43-inch premium smart TV at a low price ($500 or less).
In a way, yes. I don’t think Samsung makes premium 43-inch TVs right? As in without the “smart” features that are found in this smart monitor
A 4k tv is more economical sans the suspect 'smart' features, no?
Correct! You can still use a basic smart TV for your laptop/PC and Netflix anyway. No point doing Office 365 work on the monitor if it lags
You do realise you're going to fck up your eyes if you work that close to that monitor :/
Gonna have ultrawide eyes
Anyway, I've changed back to a smaller display
yesss you are right terrible monitor. but they sell it for 290 dolars. if somebody can find a apple pro display for this money i will go and buy one.
Who has it for $290?
@@AS-hu2ek Good question. I'll buy a 2nd one for that.
Just bought it 220$ not used 2 years warranty.
Thanks for the review. It made me not buy it!
🥰😍😘
psl. stop using background music.... thank you.
too much bla bla, and no actual review of the MONITOR only functionality.. no info on image quality, etc..
Very very bad text clarity. Don't buy it for work monitor!
Are you using 4K? Correct cables etc? I have an M2 Mini connected and mine looks great in 4k.
