A smart idea | Samsung Smart Monitor M5 & M7 review Malaysia

[@officialfroggypapa]

Bought the M7 last week. Its a freedom with not having to turn on the pc just to watch youtube, netflix or spotify. Then pair it with a nice bluetooth speakers, now I can work with my ipad pro alone and only turn on my imac when i really need to. i can never go back to 'dumb' monitor anymore.

[@driftathug]

Can you download extra apps like IPTV or Plex? Thanks

[@officialfroggypapa]

@@driftathug sadly this is not android tv. There's only few apps available.

Hi, is the Microsoft 365 the app or web version?

If 32" is too big size wise already; would it be a bad decision to for the 43 inch M7 one? The 43" model costs marginally higher than the 32" in my country. Also, I will mostly be viewing content on TV all the time or working on Excel sheets/Tableau on my monitor, attached to M2 Macbook Air. "Bigger is better". But, I am afraid I will be seeing broken/torn up pixels when I am working while sitting at my desk; so close to such a large 43" monitor. Give me some advice to help choose, please?

[@jaystechroom]

for everyone complaining about the brightness: change it to dynamic. makes a pretty good difference. was going to return it but this helped me a lot

[@_Areknames_]

you mean the brightness was too low, unstable or too high ? (before the adjustement i mean)

[@jaystechroom]

@@_Areknames_ both actually. But the words weren’t Sharp. Or display

[@marklouieadame]

Actually turn off ecomode in the settings

[@jaystechroom]

I’ve had the M7 monitor for about a month now and it’s a 9/10 for me. I use it for work connected to my M1 MacBook Pro which works flawlessly. The colors aren’t as good as the MacBook but for the work I do it’s perfectly fine. I also noticed that the screen has a somewhat faded look in some areas because of the back light bleeding. But overall it’s working as it should.

[@marklouieadame]

Its not faded its called color shifting degradation

[@icspawn]

10:00 that's so wrong. The new laptops and mini computers use onboard ssd units. those units have limited write and erase capacity. Especially if you are a mac user m series chipset on board that's a huge problem. If you use this monitor, you won't get tired your pc and onboard ssd while watching streaming service such as Disney+ Netflix and Amazon. Those services loads plenty of data on your pc or laptop while watching the content.

[@amargad69]

Every single review of this product completely misses the reason a person like me would buy this product! No one ever reviews how it works FOR WORK! For WORKING FROM HOME! Will it connect to my WORK computer?! What is the WORK FROM HOME experience?!🤦🏾‍♀️

Excellent honest review, I agree, I picked up the M5 with a savings of $155 compared to M7.

[@holy9727]

Did you buy it ?? how is it M5 ?

[@niksleonenko]

Can someone with a white M5 monitor help me out? Does it come with white color-matched cables? It’d be a real bummer for my setup if it came with black cables.

[@soyacincautv]

Yes it does. It's not exactly the same white, but it isn't black. --Rory

[@tanakorn15]

I just ordered M7. You are the first one from almost 20 reviews on both sponsors and non-sponsors) who seem point at the disadvantages more than advantages and lacking of some functions explanation. Interesting 🤔

[@tirmistirmis]

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.

Sorry for asking . Right now i am looking for m5 for gaming using ps5 and watch movie via app and usb flash disk . What about for gaming ? ( just fhd enough for me , not looking 4k )

[@soyacincautv]

The Samsung Smart Monitor M5 is a great monitor and is perfect for your needs. If you don't mind that it only has 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor is fine for gaming as well, especially console gaming. We like that is has good and loud built-in speakers and it comes with a remote. And...the price is good too. We found the 27in M5 selling for RM899 on Shopee. Top-up RM100 more and you get the 32in. It's a good buy.

[@AFMEGAT]

Bought m7 recently but still cannot connect my macbook air via usbC.. maybe i need to get a good usbC / thunderbolt cable. Any recommendation? Thanks

[@User-xpdgh1-yu_x]

If I use the wireless option, does the monitor work well connected as an extended display for a laptop or PC working on spreadsheets, emails, youtube etc, or is there noticeable lag?

[@gabriele3982]

Noticeable lag, better use the hdmi connection

[@Onemoresandeep]

Can someone please tell me what 'ambient' like button does on the remote on right side? @ 1:25 I have the remote on left side (M5-32") which has 'PC on screen' shortcut. I feel like missing that feature :(

It's a quick toggle to switch picture modes. --Rory

M5 monitor can direct input usb plug and play video format ?

[@jhesterfranciscomorales7984]

Hello. Does m5 supports wireless connectivity to windows 11 laptop?

[@captainrexgames9678]

Yes

[@roadcatastrophic7291]

Is this better than prism+ X300? So I just FOMOed for prism+ X300 for the price tag "DISCOUNT" which is a lie since that the price tag for the whole year. Tbh I have been looking at this Samsung M5 way before I found prism+ X300. When I look at the height measurement... kinda hate it, just few more mm compared to my laptop height. Idk if I want to refund or maybe resell it or just use it as vertical monitor could be better and Im no longer into gaming 🤣

[@soyacincautv]

The X300 has fast refresh rate going for it and not much else. No built-in speakers, can't use it as a smart TV and it doesn't come with a remote. If the fast refresh rate is important for you then look elsewhere than the Samsung Smart Monitor. You also mentioend that you're no longer into gaming so not sure what else having a fast refresh rate is good for. However if you're looking or a display setup that can double up as a TV for you to sit back and watch some shows, nothing beats the Smart Monitors. They are good in other areas too and the M5 is usually on discount. Good time to buy.

[@bryanmontero]

Very important to know, if you’re planning to connect the M7 to your MacBook via usb c you’ll need a usb c 3.1 gen 2cable

Hello, I got this monitor about a month ago and I love the monitor with one exception.. the audio doesn't always play from the monitor to my laptop when I have this playing using the USB-C cable provided and also tried a thunderbolt cable with no luck... Does anyone else have this issue? or if you haven't had this issue, what is your wiring set up? I hope to hear back from someone.

Mine is working fine, but i had to buy a USB C 3.1 Gen 2 cable since mine didn’t come with a usb c cable. Hopes this helps

[@grandpa4316]

Not really smart. There are many functions that need to be smarter. It needs to have an audio output. The audio selection needs to be defined by user during setup instead of confirming every time the monitor is switched on.

Please, PLEASE, turn off the background music, it quickly becomes annoying background noise. It is beyond me why KZbin content creators think it necessary playing music over their voice. You are producing excellent videos having very good and needed information, yet ruining viewers experience playing music over your voice. Many folks have hearing difficulties thus the music over your voice, for them, impedes what you are saying.
