Bought this monitor at Best Buy here in Toronto, Canada area. Worked great for three days and then went to use it and the screen did not turn on. In a dark room you could see that screen was trying to turn on but was unsuccessful. My region was currently under lockdown so I couldn't return/exchange it, so I called Samsung to do a warranty repair. Shipped out the unit and waited about 9 days for it to return. Got it back, set it up and within 5 minutes the screen issue happened again. Once again, packed up the monitor and sent it back to Samsung warranty repair centre. It's been about 11 days and I'm still waiting for the monitor to come back. Really wanted to like this monitor as it has features I haven't seen before but this is really unacceptable. My best bet is when I get this monitor back and if it still doesn't work, taking it back to Best Buy and seeing if I can get a unit that was manufactured at later date to see if they fixed the issue on the assembly line. At this point I would say buyer's beware.
I currently have a curved 32" Samsung monitor. (I've had it about 2 1/2 years). I did notice that when I have eye-saver mode on it looks very strange when my MacBook Pro is connected (diluted and dull). I'm glad to see the problem doesn't persist on this model! Might have to invest in this!
@@mushisenpai7611 Thank you Erin! I'm thinking of getting this as a monitor to connect with my macbook but im just scared the screen may be slow or doesnt transition well?
This is a product thats reaaly needed now. I was searching for an external Monitor for my MBA M1 and saw these reviews. I was SOLD!!! GREAT REVIEW!! Mine is on the way from Amazon!!
This would be an instant buy if it had an option to have 120fps for gaming, but I don't play that much for it to be a grave issue. Very impressed with this monitor.
I'm excited to try the 43" version of this screen which came out a month ago; this really helped assure me I'm making the right choice, so thanks so much Jenna! I've always been more about media monitors that can act as an entertainment center rather than just a screen with one input since my computer setup is in a dining room/kitchen, so this will likely meet my needs!
@Nathan Schimpf Did you get the 43" model? I've been wanting to buy one, but saw many reviews complaining of very low screen brightness - even at its highest brightness setting. Did you have the same problem? Thanks
@@ragnarocking I've actually been pretty happy with mine, and had no issues with any screen dimness to speak of. It's a good clear monitor which is great for what I use it for (entertainment, writing, and web browsing), and the USB inputs it has act as a hub to allow me to use one wireless keyboard transmitter and webcam for all the inputs. My only real issue with it is that it forgets my programmed HDMI input names if a device is unplugged or goes to sleep, but that's not anything that had me sending it back by any means and can be addressed in firmware down the line. Also wish it had ethernet, but it's so close to the router that it's never an issue establishing a connection.
I have it and I love it. it works really well as a small tv for me, and really nice as a dual monitor. got it for under 300 with a student discount too
Awesome! Quick question: are the USB ports on the back fast enough to xfer 40-50gb of video files in a reasonable time, or are they on the slow side? TIA!
This is a big step in the right direction for monitors and TVs. Hopefully the next version will have a bit more usability in the bare bones desktop environment.
talking about it can not do this device justice. I am using M7 43 inches. This monitor is mad. It is made for Samsung dex and laptop. I am actually typing with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, connected to my monitor. connected to my note 10 via wireless dex and connected my sony headphone #Wh1000XM4 to both my monitor and note 10. My world is so much awesome. I love it. I can see my myself being productive with this monitor.
Samsung has done a brilliant job by distributing their bullshit storyline to all youtubers across the world. No body is talking about it's panel , color reproduction , srgb ratio. and other important stuff that matters more than the addition capablities like few pre installed apps and other features.
This is your sign. ~Perfect opportunity for you to change the storyline~

4k 32" monitor with usb-c 65W power delivery, Airplay, Chromecast, remote control and smart TV for $300. Works perfectly with MacBook. Even if the VA panel, color reproduction, sRGB ratio are average - it is still a great price/value product. I don't see any bullshit here...
I agree. What about users who are looking at the extra features as secondary to an actual computer monitor? I mean, they do call it a monitor, after all. How does it perform for everyday tasks when connected to a computer? A couple of YT comments I've read seem to indicate no, it isn't great - Blurry text, scrolling not very smooth, jumpy mouse pointer... Really seems no different than a cheap smart TV so, yeah, it's a bullshit storyline to feed the masses. Let's throw the word "smart" in front of "monitor" and see how many fall for it.

I own two of these but the software is buggy, struggling at times detecting one hdmi device to the other. But it’s nice to tell Alexa in the computer to switch between. However, the USB-C connected to your laptop? Buggy. Almost always needs a shutdown before it displays. It see’s the laptop but when you connect, it’s no go on the monitor
Awesome video! I've been watching videos about this Smart Monitor for a few weeks, trying to decide if I should get it. Your video made my decision so much easier 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you, I'm placing my order on Amazon right now! BTW, You have a new subscriber 😄😄🖐️😁.
Always enjoy your content, certainly looking forward to future travel vlogs. I started out excited about this monitor, but I'll wait for Samsung's next generation. Only 250nits brightness, and only 60Hz so my existing 1080p 32" will continue to do for now. I'm in Canada, so on the plus side - inexpensive.
I mean 4K and high hz doesn't quite make any sense yet. AAA games won't go further than 60-80 FPS in 4K on a 2000$ GPU... And there's absolutely no way you will find that kind of monitor for around 300-350$
I’d like to know what you can do without wi-fi, or just using your smartphone with tethering. Can I watch Netflix for example? And for connecting my Mac with the cable I guess it’s ok
8:37 -- Jenna "If you're interested in more info on this monitor, there's going to be a link in the description..." Also Jenna... NO LINK. Could you post the link please? Thanks!!
Good monitor except for a few points: no height adjustment, no Displayport, blacks not and is not bright enough. So OK for amateur use but we need a Pro version.
I’ve just bought this monitor and was about to upgrade my phone to a new iPhone but now I think should I get a Samsung galaxy 21? Does the airplay work as well as tapping the Samsung phone against the monitor?
Great tutorial! Soo many Really cool features but I'm guessing you can't use a Samsing note 9 or 10 to be able to use dex wireless connectivity seamlessly as you showed using your Samsung 21 ultra? Anyone that knows the answer thanks in advance for your help..
I have this monitor. It buggy as hell tab view won't work like 8 out of 10 times, sometimes my phone could not search this monitor, usb C connector often wont connect.
So you can definitely connect your laptop to this monitor wirelessly! Great feature connected to your Wi-Fi connect your wireless monitor to it no cords great feature!
Love this review, answered several questions I had on this monitor! Quick question: are the USB ports on back essentisly working as a hub when you have MacBook pro connected? Wondering if their fast enough to xfer photos/video from SD card, or are they the slower USB ports? TIA!
So answer this, can this be used in "monitor" mode with the only 2 inputs would be HDMI - 1 - Cable TV box and 2 - Apple TV - this is the only way I would use that as I am thinking about putting on my covered patio... thoughts? Other options? I need 2 HDMI and don't can't really exceed 30"... Thanks in advance folks! - Kevin
You could try an HDMI-to-USBC cable to get a third input into the USB-C port, though I'm not sure if it would convert a cable/Apple TV box; I'm getting mine in a couple weeks so I'll actually test this and get back to you. But you could definitely just have two devices, then use the smart features without any actual computer, I would think.
How smart can a monitor be? And why Apples PRO display XDR doesn't have an Ultra WB Chip for the same like on the HomePod Mini. Apple needs to compete in this market.
I purchased the 32" M7 model. Will send it back. Can't get any wireless mouse to work with the monitor. When I plug in my Note 10+, it works great. But what's the use of wireless Dex if you can't use a wireless monitor? Very disappointed.
Hello Larry, any idea does it supports Horizon app from Playstore? That is a deal breaker for me. And if you are looking to return only for wireless mouse, there are wireless mouse many using in the review. I think probably some wireless with BT adapter fixed to the USB port in the monitor.
Thanks for the review. I have the M5. However, when wireless screen sharing from windows to monitor, the mouse on the monitor is always an arrow. Even on links where it should change to a hand icon or on text areas where it should change to a single, vertical line. Seems like the monitor is overwriting the the signal from the pc and using it's own cursor. This is really annoying and the click point is not precise. When typing it's impossible to click on two letters. However, on my LG smart monitor this does not happen. I have tried two different laptops, one is win10 and the other win11 and three different mice. Nothing changed. Did you or anybody noticed this and is there a solution? I have called the customer support and they told me I should use the monitor with wired connection!! Thanks.
I really enjoyed making this video so I hope you enjoy it too!
