SAMSUNG M7 Series 32-Inch 4k Uhd
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.
As a college student, i couldn’t decide on whether to buy a cheap tv or invest in a decent monitor for my dorm. This solved my problem by providing the perfect 2-in-1 display to allow me to seamlessly pair my macbook to fit a larger screen for editing, writing, and just general less eye strain when studying. While also providing the availability to use the remote to watch a movie/tv show. This is perfect for the inbetweener stage of life when you need a little of both. Samsung hit the nail on the head. Built in speakers, remote, reliable company, it’s all great.
I figured that usb-c and hdmi would allow this to work like a monitor with some extra features if needed. I spent an hour trying to get the hdmi display up and about 10 minutes via usb-c. The mac behaved like there was an external display but i kept getting ‘no signal’. Hdmi diagnostics worked, and i used their included cable. Air play works fine on it and it can be used as an internet tv with the apps, but overall i’m disappointed. Also, you will take forever to set this thing up with all of the questions that it asks. I expected much more from samsung.
My workflows require multiple monitors. This samsung monitor really helps out as an m1 mac owner. I have a mac mini and an air. I am able to use the airplay 2 feature to hot-swap between machines. With the mac mini, i already have two monitors connected (49′ and 34′, but with the samsung in the mix, i have three monitors. This really makes things go smoothly. When i am not using it as a monitor it has all the functionality of a tv tuner which is a bonus. The monitor is a bit dark out of the box, but i changed the setting to a different preset, and that was solved right away. Note: when you first connect this to the internet you will want to reset your modem and router. This will stop the problem with accessing the internet.
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.
