I pre-ordered the 27" M5 when it was made available in my country and I've been enjoying it so much. Works great as secondary display when I'm working during the day, and fantastic as a 'smart tv' during leisure time.

What specific type of USB C cable do you use to connect it to your Macbook, as I am having troubles of getting my to work, can only use it through airplay, which does not offer the highest resolution. Samsung does not ship a UBC C cable in my location.

[@kernzilla]

appreciate the review, this is just the info I was looking for ! quick question: sounds like it doesn't have audio-out of any type, do you think a USB-to-headphone jack would enable some exterior studio monitor speakers I have? trying to avoid having to plug several things into MBP to get up and running. TIA for any input !

[@jamalclarke543]

Bought this monitor at Best Buy here in Toronto, Canada area. Worked great for three days and then went to use it and the screen did not turn on. In a dark room you could see that screen was trying to turn on but was unsuccessful. My region was currently under lockdown so I couldn't return/exchange it, so I called Samsung to do a warranty repair. Shipped out the unit and waited about 9 days for it to return. Got it back, set it up and within 5 minutes the screen issue happened again. Once again, packed up the monitor and sent it back to Samsung warranty repair centre. It's been about 11 days and I'm still waiting for the monitor to come back. Really wanted to like this monitor as it has features I haven't seen before but this is really unacceptable. My best bet is when I get this monitor back and if it still doesn't work, taking it back to Best Buy and seeing if I can get a unit that was manufactured at later date to see if they fixed the issue on the assembly line. At this point I would say buyer's beware.

This is basically a smart TV marketed as an upscale computer monitor. Most smart TVs (Like TCL, Vizio, etc...and others) have HDR10+ and even Dolby Vision for less money. They all also have Bluetooth options for a variety of devices, and built in streaming options, as well an OTA TV tuner. Only practical difference is the USB C connector. You can get a USB C to HDMI cable for cheap. Just make sure to get a cable that supports 4K at 60khz, many are 4K at 30khz.

Looks very slick! Thanks for the video. I am a long time Samsung user for over 10 years. But I'm wondering why there are various user review comments saying this monitor won't turn or or died quickly? Also, it would be nice if Samsung comes out with another size larger such as 38 or 40 inches.

One of the best thing about this monitor is it has HDMI ARC for a sound bar to get 5.1 surround sound. With that said, there’s early previews of the M8 (successor) which still has 60Hz (no 120Hz) and 400 nits of brightness (use to be 250 nits). The only model of the M8 displayed was white and it had a detachable web cam. Not a fan of white.

a couple of remarks for those who want to buy this monitor: 1. In EU version(that I bought) USB-C to USB-C cable is not included in the box 2. One of USB - A(there is 3 of them) connections on the back of monitor is not working as a HUB for your MacBook but it is a connection for anything u want to play directly with Samsung UI(like it is in any TV) - as a result there is only 2 USB - A connections for your periphery for PC or Mac

I have this same question. I was just about to purchase a different 28" 4K monitor by Acer, along with a usb-c to display port 6' cable. I too have an M1 MacBook Air.

Hi! Macbook Pro M1 user here. Also, my monitor does not include any usb c cable. It doesn't display anything when I connect it using my usb c charging cable from my Macbook M1. It only charges my Macbook but doesn't detect any display in usb c source. I also tried another usb c cable, no luck. Samsung support does not also know what is the problem. lmao HDMI is working with my hub but it defeats the purpose of using only 1 cable which displays the output and charges your mac at the same time.
