Hey Chaps! Would you want a TV/Monitor combo??

[@ooga.booga69420]

Yes man. 😀

[@hi-vt2wt]

I think it's great because there's a 4k option which is great for consumption, great compatibility with phones, and the TV features can be really nice - for example not constantly needing it to be connected to a pc or laptop

[@vedadhodzic713]

Awesome it would literally benefit me after a long days worth of work

[@falkoewald4403]

yes, but 32 inch just is too small when coming from 38+

[@hi-vt2wt]

@@falkoewald4403 it's not meant to function as your main TV lol

[@zer0pulse156]

i remembered a time when a 32" TV was considered a BIG TV already... now, 2021, 32" is an IDEAL MONITOR size for PC... Anyway, this is a great gadget if you need an all-in-one monitor that wont take up so much space. Ideal for dorm, small room, or if you just need an extra monitor that you can put it anywhere around your hose without any external stuffs.

[@Striker50_]

WOW, this was a shockingly accurate review despite being sponsored. Gained huge respect

[@crosero]

As a college student I have been looking for something like this for a long time! Specially when it has AirPlay built in

[@ridgefrost]

I'm not the biggest samsung fan but one thing i've noticed and surely appreciate is the fact that samsung does not tell people how to review their products or pick reviewers who r fanboys and only have positives to say, they listen to consumers complaints to and fix them, heck they even let their workers own iphones...all these are things apple would never do

[@natebear8833]

[@liam4184]

Kind of wish all monitors had these features. Can't really cost them that much to implement.

[@creaturecore13]

What would be the point on a monitor that is connected to a computer? If you dont have a computer to connect to it why would you not be buying a smart tv instead?

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

@@creaturecore13 True lol

[@Mukduck619]

I take breaks while my Mac is rendering, and play games or watch Netflix. In that case I think a smart monitor would be very useful as it takes some strain off the Mac so it can render and do what it needs to do.

[@travislea7780]

It’s all about sales. More money if they keep it separate

[@AbishekDR07]

Would it be possible to provide more details on how well it protects the eyes? Is there blue light protection & is it flicker free , TUV Certified etc?

[@Komorur]

Exactly what I was looking for.

[@kbhasi]

Thanks for the informative review! I've been getting sick and tired of the 'HD Ready' resolution TVs that are the only 32" TVs officially available for us to buy here in Singapore, and so I was thinking of buying a Samsung Smart Monitor to use as a TV with a Full HD or higher resolution display. A built-in DVB-T2 tuner isn't important to me as I have pay TV. However, even though I'm able to get meWATCH on it (Mediacorp's equivalent to BBC iPlayer), as well as KZbin, Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify, and TuneIn Radio (I tried a relative's Samsung TV and a retail demo at a Harvey Norman store), that kind of display AND only 2 HDMI inputs, plus the possible lack of Samsung's universal control feature, leaves me to look elsewhere for a better bedroom TV. I might even be fine with using a computer monitor + HDMI switch as a TV, even though that would mean I have to get out of bed in order to change the brightness unless I use some kind of microcontroller setup that would hook into the front panel PCB. Besides that, another option I have would be to import a 32" Full HD TV from the UK via a package forwarder. Samsung TVs sold in the UK seem to only allow UK or Ireland to be selected for the Smart TV region, but I've seen a hack that could allow me to bypass that, get into a service menu, and forcefully change the Samsung Smart TV region to Singapore to be able to install meWATCH, or, you know, I could find something running Android TV instead.

[@bilalelhassan4249]

Thanks for your review really appreciated, I was really looking for this kind of monitor to use it in my bed room as a TV and a PC as well, so it meets my requirements, 👍🏼

[@caongoctunglam]

The idea of this monitor is pretty cool for me. I always love multi function device like this one

[@chandra-8338]

[@StephenDeLaRosa]

This monitor has been a life saver. We have 3 computers for a family of 4. We all have samsung phones (S8, S9, S21). I use Dex or remote in to my office desktop when all other computers are in use.

[@ishab745]

I would love this! I currently don't own a tv and mostly use monitors to code, so this would be a great combo😍

[@isaiahjannavasquez3192]

Thank you for this video! I was wondering if there was any lag for using airplay on this monitor and it shows! Good thing since I was about to buy one only for airplay!

I was looking at this, but ended up opting for the LG 32 inch ergo display. I wish this review was out a few weeks ago though, this may have swayed my decision a bit.

[@TheRaptorWranglerCreates]

By built in office 365, do you have to still pay the yearly subscription for it? or does the smart monitor itself actually come with it? Its a STEAL if it comes with it. Im actually interested in this monitor either way. ooh and what is the refresh rate? Thats something id like to know.

[@haithamkhatib]

I think the remote is a good selling point. Not so many monitors ship with a remote these days.

[@miroslavhavlas1443]

@Thetechchap would this monitor do for a video editing? Is the color accuracy too bad? :)

[@MrProFaen]

Thanks for the good review. I agree with everything you said. My Apple Cinema Display died and though I will eventually get it repaired I bought the Samsung as a stop gap for work. Initially I bought an LG HD but returned it after a few days and upgraded to the Samsung. The colours are not as rich as the Apple display, but at the price ($699 AUD) it is still really good and usable. Sound is fine for a workspace and I really like the remote. Overall, I am a happy customer.

[@AX-fx7ng]

Does it have PIP PBP Multi View switching between the USB C & HDMI (Wired) inputs?

[@DanielMitraMusic]

Haha "remotely" 3:21 Great review! Thanks for showing the Windows 10 wireless display option & SmartView support. And couldn't do Wireless DeX on Chromecast (Gtv), so this should be great! I think it does have 65W USB-C charging. Cheers from Toronto 🇨🇦

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.

[@Jamesalec63]

Can you connect a sky digital TV box to this TV/ monitor and use a dvd player with it? Looks like it should have a touch screen but that would be a dream TV/ Monitor and can you adjust the size of the screen output if your visual impaired? Like the idea of having DeX and an office app it would be nice to have a built-in camera like a tablet and portal from Facebook? But with USB support plug & play USB cameras are available but it would be interesting in a future one?

[@salexa171]

I think this is what I need. Home office is going to have to turn into a nursery so will need to move the office into the spare room. Desperate for something that can be used as a TV. Tried using my existing Samsung Monitor and though it’s a decent size it just feels wrong watching shows or playing a PS4 game. I think this is the one!

[@Arkenas99]

Seems like a nice 2nd monitor in most gaming setups. One qhd 144hz for gaming and then this one for streaming content or watching videos

[@vyvynylification]

I currently have the same idea but i use a full HD 240hz for gaming and a 144hz 1440p IPS panel for the rest/casual gaming. But i want more space on my screen because i have discord, a game, internet, ... open all at once. So ill stick to the 240hz for gaming but might swap my 1440p screen for this 4k monitor with all these build in options. I know the quality of my 1440p panel is better but all i need that monitor to do is open internet, work on documents and watch netflix.

This really is catered to home offices workers and uni students where they are on a budget and don't have much space for both a TV and monitor. I might pick it up but I would probably need to see the screen quality in person. I might prefer spending more on a higher refresh and better colour accuracy.

[@TopHatCat1989]

I would go for this as an overhead monitor and replace an older 40inch TV which I watch from bed. I wouldn't use the cloud productivity apps since I'd just use my main computer, but I would use the streaming apps.

Just got one at Best Buy for $299. I'll be using it for editing and VFX but I'm somewhat colorblind and for color correction I'm highly reliant upon scopes and meters. I also have a 27" qhd monitor that has better color options. The size and it being 4k is an awesome upgrade for having more room for my workspace windows.

It looks a nice screen but it wouldn't fit in my set up because i mostly game on my AOC 24g2u and use it sometimes for work, but im enjoying the 144hz. I have been thinking of making the switch to 1440p or 4k but i will probably just wait until they become cheaper. 1080p still looks great on a 24" in my opinion and i got a series x about 3 weeks ago and i notice more crisp graphical detail.

I like the comic cover intro image! I should add that I use a basic 6 year old Samsung TV as my ZOTAC Computer monitor. I purchased it originally to use as a large screen Chrome Mirror for my Samsung Edge. This never worked without crashing so the $99. TV was drafted as my travel monitor. I have vastly superior Integrity and Shap TV.s. However the Samsung is more easily moved around and has proved to be remarkably rugged.
