SAMSUNG M5 Series 27-Inch Fhd 1080p Smart Monitor & Streaming Tv
First impressions review — i only had this monitor for 24hrs. For the record, i paid $320 for it — i see that the current price is $399. Bear in mind that the following takes the $320 price into account:**the m7 is big**i come from apple monitors and products. Compared to the 5k display of the imac, which is 27′, this 32′ 4k feels large and far, far less pixel-dense. There are detailed debates on pixel density and macos online and i won’t re-do one here, but suffice to say that if you are used to apple screens post-2012, this size/resolution combo will feel lousy. You’re better off going for a 27′ 4k display, of which there are many, or better still a 24′ 4k, which lg makes. This means that the resolution of the m7 is a little on the low side for computer use, but as a tv (this monitor essentially converts to a tv), 32′ 4k ends up being rather good. My first impression is that the m7 is best thought of as a small tv. **the m7 feels cheap**the stand is not adjustable. Everything everywhere (except for the stand’s base) is plastic.
Description says ‘tv’, so i failed to see the ‘tunerless’ part of the description. My old flat screen tv was tunerless, so i hooked up my external digital converter to it so i can watch ‘tv’. This one does not have that option because it is not a tv. Its a computer monitor that happens to come with a samsung remote so you can do built in streaming, but you need high speed internet for that. If you want the later, than its a good product. If you wanted a ‘tv’, this is not it. Product was returned for refund.
Good, functional monitor and tv. It takes a while to figure out how it works (not so user-friendly) but once you do, it has a nice picture and the sound is rich. It is slightly better in tv mode. Some of the functions could be improved upon, for example going back and forth between tv and computer should not be so complicated, it could be done easily with ‘source’. Also, it is not easy to add apps to the tv function. But all in all, it is a nice piece of equipment.
I got the 27inch one and while i wouldn’t really suggest it as a main monitor unless you are ok with 1080p, i’ve been pretty happy with it. I airplay into via my laptop for work & stream videos on from my phone most of the day. I also tested it’s standalone apps by plugging in a mouse & keyboard and logging into office 365. This worked well enough as a way to get work done, pull up a document, or displaying pictures/videos from onedrive but navigating was a little laggy and i wouldn’t want to rely on this on a daily basis. The smart tv features and having it’s own remote & speakers make this one quite a bit better than just a regular dumb monitor. It’s a great option if you are looking for a single screen that can multitask or an extra one for leaving on a kitchen/dining room table to do occasional work on and stream tv/youtube though. It could also easily do the work of a small tv. Pretty good buy and i might end up getting the 4k one as a primary monitor in the future.
I’m cheep, and kicking myself for not upgrading to this a long time agodo ityour eyes will love youthis makes work fun.
