Can you confirm that is only 30 hz through usb-c! This is a big NO GO for me, if that is true. Can you test it and report it back. This is the only thing holding me back from not buying it.
By far the best review for this monitor. I love how to the point you are and that editing makes your video a pleasure to watch. Good job and subscribed!
WOW only 400 dollars!!! I'm glad it is VESA compatible for monitor arms! It's so cool yet weird to see a remote control for a monitor! Airplay 2 is really cool as well! This is truly a special monitor! Awesome video as always Iskren!!! 😁
I have this crazy setup with Roku and everything and like an hdmi splitter so I can switch between my MacBook, PC, and Smart TV so as soon as I heard that smart monitors were a thing, I never pulled out my credit card so quick! I’m out here watching a bunch of reviews after already buying it and stumbled upon this vid! This was an excellent review!! Sooo much better than channels with full teams and everything!! Your personality and editing style makes for such an easy watch!! Keep up the amazing work!!
It's very difficult this days to find a monitor that doesn't wobble at all. I have two monitors sitting on a Ikea desk. My brand new 24" LG (24BL650C-B) does wobble (a lot!); but the 12 years old Dell (with a very sturdy stand) doesn't wobble at all. ;)
@@Conceptcreator a monitor stand elevates the monitor to the ideal level, at least for me. If I don't use the monitor stand, I tilt the monitor screen back to a comfortable viewing angle relative to my keyboard / desk surface. Based on the video it appears the monitor base is wide enough to easily accommodate a notebook computer. Therefore, if you tilt the monitor screen back, the notebook, with lid closed, fits under the monitor screen.
I'm very happy with mine. It was available for $299 CDN when I bought it. Similar decision to yours. The price was just too good to pass up compared to most other 32" 4K. I mostly bought it because my work laptop is 4k and when I was using my other 27" 1080p monitor I was having so many issues with resizing. Instead I run it all on this monitor now and it looks great. I can run all my windows on there and don't feel like I'm out of room. I'll be happier once I get a VESA mount though because with two large monitors I can't really sit in the middle of them without getting neck strain. Waiting for the right one to be in stock.
Have you any experience with IPS screens at all? I’m a freelance illustrator and wondering how this screen would be for design work, and how it is with colours
@@Mr_ToR Almost 2 years later and at full price? I'd wonder if there isn't a competitive full TV by now, or different gaming monitor. I'm still very happy with mine but I use it almost exclusively for work
I just bought this monitor and two biggest hang ups with this thing that are ultimately going to lead to me returning it to Best buy are: 1) There is no simple way to toggle between the various input port or even to get to them once you've started using the smart TV features. For example if I am using the smart TV function to watch a movie on Netflix and then want to switch the screen to using my work computer I need to use a remote go through a minimum of 9 button presses to navigate the menu before switching to monitor mode. 2) Probably the most annoying issue here, If I get up from my computer at any point and either lock it or just walk away long enough for it to time out/sleep the monitor will just power down completely and not wake back up when I come back an move my mouse to wake the computer causing me to use press another button to power the monitor back on again, its a relatively small problem that is a Huge annoyance to me since I go back and forth from my computer very frequently throughout the day.
This monitor is one of my strangest purchases. I bought it for my MacBook Pro 16" for longer working hours. The first bummer was that they promoted that it supports USB-C but they didn't include one! Ok, I got one and it ran perfectly. However, after 3 days of using this monitor for about 5 hours everyday, it stopped working with USB-C connection!! Why? I don't know. I changed cables and also tried connecting it to my iPad Pro but nothing! It charges but doesn't show anything on the screen. I called Samsung and their only reply is to reset it to factory defaults which didn't do anything. Their final solution is to take it to their service center! Wow, 4 days of a new monitor and this is my experience. Totally disappointed. Also the colors, contrast, brightness are all terrible. Can't edit photos or videos on it.
I’ve watching 10+ review on this monitor and no one even mentions any downside or the fact that it’s a VA panel. Samsung pays them really good. You come here and save the day. Great video always!
Finally, a real and honest review. Those are rare, most M7 were only sponsored videos as you haveaid. I bought mine 40 days ago and so far it has been great! I managed 4K wirelessly from my computer but only 1080p for Dex Also for Brrighness you can use bixby vocal commands Yes Dull is the word for other non smart monitors :)
@@ThisIsE Hi, i am in Europe and there was no usb-c cable but only hdmi cable :-( I dont use airplay, i think it is called miracast on my windows PC ( AND smartview on my samsung smartphone)
@@venkyprashant1380 There are a lot of different Horizon app on the playstore. Probably not. M7 has a tizen only store and you cannot install app outside of it. Google TV OS is much more convenient for apps
@@JoeGillian0 Thanks a lot. I did some search on that as well. And yes you are right. Probably Smart Monitor (with Android) could answer my need. Horizon is a Remote workspace App, as this product labelled as "Smart Monitor" I thought there will be some Workspace related Apps but this is more of a "Smart TV - Light version".
This is the most reliable review I’ve seen. Thank you. I got this almost 2 weeks ago, and the first few days were completely horrible, and it looked dark, cheap, and impossibly hard to use. Tech support couldn’t help me connect to Airplay 2 or even tell me what the right specs for a single USB C cable we’re. None of the 6 cables I had, including a Thunderbolt 3, didn’t work, and of the 4 100w 5A cables I bought, only 2 worked. And for no reason Airplay just started working after my 3rd factory reset. The hype is just that. Hype. They don’t tell you beforehand that on HDMI it can only do 30Hz, and that on wireless it’s only 1080p, and it doesn’t work properly as a KVM (maybe it isn’t meant to). But I bought into the hype, and coming from an Apple Thunderbolt Display, I guess my standards were a bit high. I was so angry for about a week. With managed expectations, it’s grown on me, and on a one cable connection and a monitor arm, it reduces desk clutter significantly. Print design and productivity don’t need a brilliant display anyway, and I realized the dimmer VA panel causes less eye strain. And in hindsight for PhP19,699 ($400) on promo in the Philippines, it’s possibly the cheapest Airplay 2 Type C 4K monitor. It’s not worth the $580 they retail here, but can easily be found for $360-400 in the Philippines if you look around. In its price range, and if you’re not a gamer, cinephile, or professional video editor, it’s ok, once you get it running.
@@christianlabij9499 I was having second thought of buying this monitor right now since it is on Sale. But I saw that it’s already been on the same price since 2 years ago. Dis you perhaps upgrade from using this one? Do you have any suggestion?

Don't discredit it for gamers. I prefer 60fps absolutely maxed out gaming over higher frames and giving up picture quality. And I'm going to buy this monitor because I'd rather have the better contrast ratio this one offers over the IPS viewing angles.
Nice review thanks. Just got one on sale in 2024. I'm impressed. For what it offers in features it can't be beaten. I'm just using mine as a bedroom TV. It replaced an almost 14 year old Hisense 22" TV which was a monitor for me. Or well media consumption. So it's rather perfect for my wants/needs.

This was a great review! I just got the LG ergo 32 inch, it costs 700 euros. I was almost boxing it to send it back, but then I saw this Samsung brightness and that this panel is 8 bit. I do work with photography and got the LG to upgrade my setup. If this Samsung was brighter and be a 10bit panel, at 400 dollars/euros, I think I would change in a heartbeat. Impressive monitor. There is an HDMI ARC!!!!! Unreal... and AirPlay!.... God... why my LG couldn't have those...
Just bought this and mine come with a very meaty usb-c. Its 4k 60hz rocking with my iMac 2020 27". My color setup was dynamic, brightness 23, contrast is half.
Good to know other setup, I have Samsung S6 and MacBook Pro M1 14, and I see everything a little matte color, can’t change much or I don’t know how to setup, so frustrate, what I see in my MacBook Pro is different than my monitor. Please help!!
One of the three USB-A ports is not connected to the built in hub. It’s labeled Service. Things you connect to this port are not connected the PC connected to the USB-C port. You can, however, connect a mouse and keyboard here to use with the monitor itself. If you want to 4K at 60 Hz via USB-C, you have to dig deep into the settings to enable this. The setting is named Input Signal Plus, hidden under Settings - General - External device manager. There is no audio out port. If you want to use external speakers, either use bluetooth, or HDMI with some kind of splitter, or connect the speakers to your PC. If you decide to use bluetooth: there is no information on what codec is used. Probably the lowest quality one. If you decide to use this, you may or may not have opted into Samsung’s creepy ad slinger network. Where they can decide to use the device to show you ads when they feel like it. The privacy notice makes this clear. I’m sure this was why the the price could be this low.
So does it support usb hub on 2 usbs? I can't find any specific info, somewhere it is written there is no usb hub, somewhere there is... What exact model you have?
Hi E, I love your honest review on this! I'm considering on upgrading my work monitor to this. Wondering if the screen quality is good for the design softwares (especially Adobe Illustrator, After Effects)? Thanks!
hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
I really like your videos. Very detailed and to the point. I also really like your white desk shelf with the two drawers. Can you please provide any details about it?
Another awesome video! I have this monitor and it's the best I ever had at this price point. I also didn't get any usb c cable with it so must be a regional thing 🤷♀️
Hey do you know if the USB-C connection dobles up as a charge! To put it diffrently if you connect a macbook to the screen VIA the USB-C will you also need a power cable plugged into the laptop or dies the the USB-C CABLE also double up as a power cable????
@@rachidchrifi3597 My macbook air charges when connected with usb c. I use the Apple official thunderbolt cable (Usb c to usb c), the charger that comes with the Mac does not work with picture, only charges it through the monitor. The monitor has to be turned on for it to charge though. It won't give any power in stand-by.
I got this monitor some weeks ago And for someone who just wants to get rid of speakers for some space on the desk and all the privileges of a smart TV without out cable (I just don’t watch cable anymore) it’s very comfy and nice to have. The only problem I’ve had is in the “pc mode”, it changes the colours making them awful compared to other displays and even if you try “smart calibrate” it (which is a function that you have with the Samsung SmartThings app) it still looks bad and it lowers the brightness a bit. I tried using different modes and settings but colours look always weird, like some weir blue light filter is on (and it isn’t, I checked) For now I got a little closer to normal looking colours with HDR but still not good This happens only in “pc mode” Maybe it is the hdmi cable, wrong port maybe? Dunno The only thing I know, other things have the right colours, even the switch which is connected by hdmi If I find any solution to this problem I will edit the comment explaining what to do if someone is having the same issue or just wants to buy this product and is scared of having to deal with this issue
Ended up buying a Samsung S70A (LS32A700NWNXZA) from Amazon a couple weeks back when they were having a Monitor sale, but they were talking about taking up to 4 weeks to deliver. So I found a third party seller, selling and brand new open box for a little bit cheaper and quicker delivery, so I bought that. They ended up sending me this M7 monitor instead (and it did come with a USB-C cable, I'm in the US)...and honestly, I think I lucked out! I was going to return it out of principal but I decided to keep it. I'm quite liking it so far...unfortunately I'm going to need to upgrade my PC a bit to get 60hz out of it (I only have HDMI 1.4), and my graphics card can't do HDR. But other than that it looks great.
I bought one of these for use as my productivity/work monitor with the thought that it would be a jack of all trades. Well... for me, it didn't satisfy my needs. I was not happy with the viewing angles which to me were very narrow along with the fairly low maximum brightness. I also was not fond of the smart functionality user interface. I think that could use some work to be more user friendly.With that being said, I could see this monitor satisfying some people with different tastes and use case. Im returning mine and decided to try an LG 32" ergo that was on sale at Costco for a similar price, I am crossing my fingers that I like it better.
Sir, I've seen reviews saying using this M7 with a USB - C input cable kinda kills the monitor like just within two hours to a brand new monitor within two days. HDMI port is told to be the safest . Did you face any of these issues? Are you still using this monitor? If so How is the performance with iPad pro via USB - C cable. Thanks. Nice video :)
I was looking at the new M8 until I found out that it was a VA panel - $700 is way too expensive for a VA panel. The M7 looks like it's more suitably priced for its features. The only thing I'm worried about is I've only owned IPS panels, ever. The angles/washout is a worry of mine for VA panels.
@@zeallavacube6357 No, I haven't. But while overseas, I hooked up my M1 MBA to a $300 4K Viewsonic 32" VA panel and it worked great! Really no reason to pay more for productivity, unless you have special needs like color-matching, FPS gaming, etc...
As someone who has used 120hz+ for years I can instantly tell if I am on a 60hz and I'm not talking about just for gaming. 120hz needs to be the standard, 144hz is getting into 'great' territory and 240hz (Samsung G7 I just grabbed) is the best I have experienced.
Hi, that's really a great review! my congratulations... I heard about complains regarding text clarity and sharpness... what do you think about that? Is this monitor a good choice for a programmer? Thank you!
hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
Awesome video as always E! Do you know if I would be able to power a chromebox with that usb-c cable?, hence I would be using only 1 cable to power both, monitor & chromebox.
Great video! I am actually looking at the Samsung 32" M70A 4K UHD Smart Monitor with Streaming TV (I need to sometime use my laptop with Apple AirPlay.. Would you still recommend it?
Great insightful video! Do you think it would be possible to use it as a wireless monitor for a Mac Mini M1 via the AirPlay? Or does it only mirror screens? Not really familiar with the technology.
why televisions over 24" are so hated? in the internet forums I always read that it is the perfect size and that more than that is not worth it in gaming, something that makes no sense because a pc with a recent graphic is far superior to the ps5 or xbox x console.
I have to say: I bought this exact monitor and I had to send it back! I could not read text on it (fuzzy, with color fringing) when it was at 4K. And I was driving it with an M1 Mac Mini. My old monitor was an Acer ET430K, 43 inch beast (sadly no longer available) and I thought I would be better off with more compact pixels. I REALLY wanted to like this M7 but I couldn’t. We’re there settings that could have improved the situation? I tried everything I could find.
Thanks for the review. It was really helpful. My goto feature was the being able to use Airplay and use the monitor was a secondary display to go along with my mac mostly for coding and stuff. Would you say the lag between the devices is significant?
Speaking of Display port, where, oh where, is it? I'm referring to the newest standard. The new standard for HDMI (2.1) came out and was readily accepted in products. However, the newest standard for Display port (DP 2.0) which is the preferred standard for professional use, was slated for release over a year ago, and hasn't been seen in any cards or products to date. Why is DP being completely ignored?
0:50 The Samsung M7 has definitely been making the rounds on youtube with Samsung-sponsorted "reviews"-- in a way it's good because it lets me know which RUclipsrs I should ignore in the future. Thanks @ThisIsE.
I brought Samsung Smart M7 monitor. Experience was horrible. Samsung sent me a 15Amps plug with monitor , when I asked why 15 amps instead of 5 amps they blame Amazon the seller. After a long follow up and time wasted, finally Samsung accepted that that monitor comes with 15amps plug and they don't know why or they can't provide a 5amps one either. Even they didn't accept this as a mistake. I m naver going to buy Samsung monitor again. Please suggest me a 30 to 34 inch LG or any good monitor.
Hi ThisIsE, I just got myself this monitor, cant seem to get 4K 60HZ on any of my usb c cables that i try, even with cables that supports 4K 60hz. Using a Huawei Matebook X Pro. Will need some little advice and help PLEASE . Thanks
Can you confirm that is only 30 hz through usb-c! This is a big NO GO for me, if that is true. Can you test it and report it back. This is the only thing holding me back from not buying it.
I have 4k@60Hz via usb-c from my pc or even my smartphone
@@JoeGillian0 why does some website and users report only 30 Hz with usb-c. I can't find anything official?
@@sanjindervisevic5243 Well, how the hell should i know? I have 4K@60HZ on both my portable PC, that does not mean that all PC can achieve 4K@60Hz...

I have to say , you are on different league and I don't understand why only have 24k subs ?!!!!
how's the HDR performance ?
I miss also this test. Does it work st 4k 60Hz? Via both USB-C and HDMI?
Clean and informative video, thanks for your help!!
My pleasure
Best review I've seen of this monitor.
Great video! Thank you for being honest.
My pleasure
It's weird that Samsung and other brands can make 4K pc monitors, but no 4K 32 inch Tvs, they even won't do Full HD 32 inch Tvs. What a shame!
Thank you so much for such honest review!
If you have a solid desk the wobble isn't an issue .. otherwise get a solid Vesa mount. I've ordered second one as it's great value.
Is the m7 vesa compatible?
@@da8wonder yes, VESA 100x100

Hi E, I love your honest review on this! I'm considering on upgrading my work monitor to this. Wondering if the screen quality is good for the design softwares (especially Adobe Illustrator, After Effects)? Thanks!
Fantastic video. Love your content!
Much appreciated Chris!
That Star Wars background tho!
Thanks Brian!
I bought 43 inch M7 monitor, same model but only larger size. and very happy with it as of now

@@MrMartellSincere

@@radhekrishna2477 43 is bigger than 32 inches. I also have the Samsung 32 4k M7 Smart Monitor 🤠
@@MrMartellSincere oh thanks , can u Cconfirm Please, if i able to open the site.. web surfing
Definitely a superb review... I think I'll consider buying this monitor. How good do ytou think it'll perform at game development?
You should have more sups - great aesthetics and the color grading is spot on.
It is looking tremendous, But I still prefer an LG for a monitor.
Same!!!
wow loved that you mentioned it's "migraine-safe" thanks!!
great review!
Thanks Glen!
Great video mate!!!
Thank you
I really like your videos. Very detailed and to the point. I also really like your white desk shelf with the two drawers. Can you please provide any details about it?
Thank you so much for the honest feedback. 😊
Didn't knew that James McAvoy makes reviews xD
Hahahah
Welp, I subscribed. Perfect, concise review.
Really enjoy to watch your reviews by the clip quality as well as the content. Keep it going and your sharing is highly appreciated! 👍👏
They need to make a 21:9 version of this monitor.
Epic video !! As usual
Another awesome video! I have this monitor and it's the best I ever had at this price point. I also didn't get any usb c cable with it so must be a regional thing 🤷♀️
I guess I am out of luck 😂
Hey do you know if the USB-C connection dobles up as a charge! To put it diffrently if you connect a macbook to the screen VIA the USB-C will you also need a power cable plugged into the laptop or dies the the USB-C CABLE also double up as a power cable????
@@rachidchrifi3597 My macbook air charges when connected with usb c. I use the Apple official thunderbolt cable (Usb c to usb c), the charger that comes with the Mac does not work with picture, only charges it through the monitor. The monitor has to be turned on for it to charge though. It won't give any power in stand-by.
A Video that ISNT Sponsored TYSM!!!
uuuuu that IMAX wallpaper
I got this monitor some weeks ago
And for someone who just wants to get rid of speakers for some space on the desk and all the privileges of a smart TV without out cable (I just don’t watch cable anymore) it’s very comfy and nice to have.
The only problem I’ve had is in the “pc mode”, it changes the colours making them awful compared to other displays and even if you try “smart calibrate” it (which is a function that you have with the Samsung SmartThings app) it still looks bad and it lowers the brightness a bit.
I tried using different modes and settings but colours look always weird, like some weir blue light filter is on (and it isn’t, I checked)
For now I got a little closer to normal looking colours with HDR but still not good
This happens only in “pc mode”
Maybe it is the hdmi cable, wrong port maybe? Dunno
The only thing I know, other things have the right colours, even the switch which is connected by hdmi
If I find any solution to this problem I will edit the comment explaining what to do if someone is having the same issue or just wants to buy this product and is scared of having to deal with this issue
Such a perfect review, thank you!
Great video!! Would you recommend this over an ultrawide display for every day use? Thank you
Ended up buying a Samsung S70A (LS32A700NWNXZA) from Amazon a couple weeks back when they were having a Monitor sale, but they were talking about taking up to 4 weeks to deliver. So I found a third party seller, selling and brand new open box for a little bit cheaper and quicker delivery, so I bought that. They ended up sending me this M7 monitor instead (and it did come with a USB-C cable, I'm in the US)...and honestly, I think I lucked out! I was going to return it out of principal but I decided to keep it. I'm quite liking it so far...unfortunately I'm going to need to upgrade my PC a bit to get 60hz out of it (I only have HDMI 1.4), and my graphics card can't do HDR. But other than that it looks great.
I bought one of these for use as my productivity/work monitor with the thought that it would be a jack of all trades. Well... for me, it didn't satisfy my needs. I was not happy with the viewing angles which to me were very narrow along with the fairly low maximum brightness. I also was not fond of the smart functionality user interface. I think that could use some work to be more user friendly.With that being said, I could see this monitor satisfying some people with different tastes and use case. Im returning mine and decided to try an LG 32" ergo that was on sale at Costco for a similar price, I am crossing my fingers that I like it better.
Sir, I've seen reviews saying using this M7 with a USB - C input cable kinda kills the monitor like just within two hours to a brand new monitor within two days. HDMI port is told to be the safest . Did you face any of these issues? Are you still using this monitor? If so How is the performance with iPad pro via USB - C cable. Thanks. Nice video :)
Good job. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
What desk is that used in the main talking shot of this vid? I looked at your gear page but didn’t see it. Great vid btw 🤙🏽
I just for a 43 inch Samsung 4k TV instead and it works just fine with a mac. I think I might upgrade to a 55 inch TV soon.
Thank you very much for this video. I am going to buy this one now. Quick question: What is the name of your white desktop stand?
I was looking at the new M8 until I found out that it was a VA panel - $700 is way too expensive for a VA panel. The M7 looks like it's more suitably priced for its features. The only thing I'm worried about is I've only owned IPS panels, ever. The angles/washout is a worry of mine for VA panels.
Same concern here.. did you go through with the purchase? if so can you please elaborate on this? Thanks.
@@zeallavacube6357 No, I haven't. But while overseas, I hooked up my M1 MBA to a $300 4K Viewsonic 32" VA panel and it worked great!
Really no reason to pay more for productivity, unless you have special needs like color-matching, FPS gaming, etc...
@@Nakameguro97 did you use scaling or native resolution? is it confortable in nartive 4k?
planning to buy this mate, the only thing that holding me is the 60hz refresh rate.
I understand Aldrin, although if I have to sacrifice between Hz and pixels, I’d choose pixels for priority
As someone who has used 120hz+ for years I can instantly tell if I am on a 60hz and I'm not talking about just for gaming. 120hz needs to be the standard, 144hz is getting into 'great' territory and 240hz (Samsung G7 I just grabbed) is the best I have experienced.
thank you for the hint - sounds very interesting !!
Great review. How good would this monitor be for semi-professionel video and photo editing? Coming from a 2018 MacBook Pro.
are you using a 13inch MBP and are you able to get 60hz out of it?
Hi, that's really a great review! my congratulations... I heard about complains regarding text clarity and sharpness... what do you think about that? Is this monitor a good choice for a programmer? Thank you!
It’s as sharp as any monitor in 4K in that size. The downside is the viewing angles. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be ok for programming
@@ThisIsE
Thank you so much! A last question: has the display a glossy or matte finish?
hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
Great video!
Thanks Comrade
Wow nice video quality👍👍👍👍
Awesome video as always E! Do you know if I would be able to power a chromebox with that usb-c cable?, hence I would be using only 1 cable to power both, monitor & chromebox.
Really good review
great review, what cable did you got for both days transfer and charging
Great video! I am actually looking at the Samsung 32" M70A 4K UHD Smart Monitor with Streaming TV (I need to sometime use my laptop with Apple AirPlay.. Would you still recommend it?
this seems like a really good affordable option. What else would you recommend under $350?
please tell me, this monitor is good for graphic designer or video maker...
Nothing beats the LG 48 CX as a Monitor.
expensive.
Great insightful video! Do you think it would be possible to use it as a wireless monitor for a Mac Mini M1 via the AirPlay? Or does it only mirror screens? Not really familiar with the technology.
Love this review. I have a question though, if I connect a PS4 Pro/PS5 to the M7 does 4k 60
work? Or is it limited to 4k 30?
Hey 👋🏻 4K at 60 runs great
@@ThisIsE Thanks E!
why televisions over 24" are so hated? in the internet forums I always read that it is the perfect size and that more than that is not worth it in gaming, something that makes no sense because a pc with a recent graphic is far superior to the ps5 or xbox x console.
Waited 1 year...paid $225 in Denmark including sales tax of 25%.... bought 😎
nice video, thanks!
You didn't mention the hdmi arc! This is the only monitor that comes with arc. Can you tell if it allows Dolby digital 5.1 pass through?
Yes DD 5.1 works’fine via passthrough
Great production. Can you share the clip clock screen saver?
should i go for m5 or m7 .... im confused is it worth full hd ? or go for 4k ?
I have to say: I bought this exact monitor and I had to send it back! I could not read text on it (fuzzy, with color fringing) when it was at 4K. And I was driving it with an M1 Mac Mini. My old monitor was an Acer ET430K, 43 inch beast (sadly no longer available) and I thought I would be better off with more compact pixels. I REALLY wanted to like this M7 but I couldn’t.
We’re there settings that could have improved the situation? I tried everything I could find.
Would I find the speakers as "quality" as I have in my TCL TV? :)
I wouldn't call them quality speakers...just speakers 🙂
Thanks for the review. It was really helpful. My goto feature was the being able to use Airplay and use the monitor was a secondary display to go along with my mac mostly for coding and stuff. Would you say the lag between the devices is significant?
Speaking of Display port, where, oh where, is it? I'm referring to the newest standard. The new standard for HDMI (2.1) came out and was readily accepted in products. However, the newest standard for Display port (DP 2.0) which is the preferred standard for professional use, was slated for release over a year ago, and hasn't been seen in any cards or products to date. Why is DP being completely ignored?
Is it possible to connect a laptop for extending display with this monitor
What is it with monitor manufacturers and silly barcode-like model names?
0:50 The Samsung M7 has definitely been making the rounds on youtube with Samsung-sponsorted "reviews"-- in a way it's good because it lets me know which RUclipsrs I should ignore in the future. Thanks @ThisIsE.
i have this unit..the biggest problem is the cheapo stand..to enhance your using exp..i suggest you dont even use the stand at the very beginning..
Not a word about the iq, like color acuracy or color space? HDR10?
Would you recommend this monitor or the lg 29inch ultrawide?
I brought Samsung Smart M7 monitor. Experience was horrible. Samsung sent me a 15Amps plug with monitor , when I asked why 15 amps instead of 5 amps they blame Amazon the seller. After a long follow up and time wasted, finally Samsung accepted that that monitor comes with 15amps plug and they don't know why or they can't provide a 5amps one either. Even they didn't accept this as a mistake. I m naver going to buy Samsung monitor again. Please suggest me a 30 to 34 inch LG or any good monitor.
Hi, thank you for the great video. Just need to confirm, is the LS32AM700UAXXA model? Does the LS32AM700UAXXA model come with 4K?
Is it good for gaming? I mean 60 fps is absolutely enough for me.
Hi ThisIsE,
I just got myself this monitor, cant seem to get 4K 60HZ on any of my usb c cables that i try, even with cables that supports 4K 60hz.
Using a Huawei Matebook X Pro. Will need some little advice and help PLEASE . Thanks
Good mornin’ E! What cables would I need to run this with a MacBook Pro M1? Thanks!
Hey i spotted you using it as a secondary screen with windows in the video, was it with a wireless setup or through hdmi connectivity?
