Samsung 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 Review: Does it make sense? 

the excel to help understand the size is SUCH a good aspect to include in the review. Thank you! Great stuff

You gave a really comprehensive overview, thank you, please consider reducing the volume of the background music, your words are much more important than the music

Thanks for the review, had questions but immediately bought after this video. Will try when I get back home.

My 43" M7 seemed a little too "flexible" for me out of the box but I added a Husky 100x100 to 200x200 adaptor plate to mount mine to an Ergotron LX arm and it became much more rigid (feels like a "normal" monitor now). I used the round Husky spacers (included in their kit) and 2 layers of 3M double-stick mounting tape in a square and X pattern between the monitor and the plate adaptor. (The 3M tape I used is generally intended for automotive trim pieces) BTW Lowe's (in-store) has a nice selection of specialty hardware for stuff/projects like this ...metric, stainless, phillips or allen-head, various lengths etc.

To fix the dock being too small just right click (double finger click on touchpad) on the dock between two icons and then choose dock preferences. There you can choose to magnify what you are hovering over or change the size of the entire dock all together.

great review. Does it support freesync? How is with gaming?

Hi, great in depth review. Thank you. 1 question please. The HDMI cable length is not enough for me from my pc. Could you tell me should I buy hdmi 2.1 cable or hdmi 2.0? And is it USB 3 or 3.1 Sir?

hi is it possible to interface a speaker on this smart monitor, if yes how by means of what connection usb type c?

Does it have auto switch off feature, where you set after how many minutes should it turn off?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've got a question and I didn't find an answer in the internet. Does this Samsung M7 have motion smoothing (soap opera effect) feature?

Great video! Thank you so much :) Is it possible to use two excels sheets and one Netflix video at the same time? For example one excel on the left side, one on the right and what about the Netflix screen? Can you adjust it wherever you want or how does it work? Or only full screen Netflix?

Did you try connecting a soundbar? If so, what are your thoughts?

Single handedly the best review for this product on YT😊

I am in trouble with macbook air m1. Not displaying with macbook charge cable. Is there who solve this issue. I am open to your help. Buying a new cable or changing options etc

Would a usb to aux converter work to connect external speakers to this monitor?

I came across this model online while looking for a tv. Since i only used regular tv's for gaming with my playstation. This has a great price range but i'm wondering how this screen would be for gaming at a distance of 2 meter ( 6 ft ). I will mainly use it for gaming and streaming movies.

I am considering changing from 32” M7 to a 43” M7, this video helps me to reach a verdict. BTW, having an external power brick is a plus, Samsung is notorious for constant failing the power supply. I had a Samsung 34” curved monitor with failed power supply, I just bought one on line and I am good to go without sending to shop for expensive repair, my warranty went out BTW.

hi bro, what the type c cable that you are using? can you please share the product link.

Nice video. Thanks for this. One question, are the fonts and pixels as good as normal 24 inch monitor? Or does it lack something? I want to use this for programming,which is mostly text stuff

Thank you for the information. I would like to organize all my windows (4 ou 6) automatically in 100% of the monitor screen, could you please explain us?. Thanks in advance.

good video...if you want to change the size of your layout you can do that on your display settings and resolution. It will make the font and images bigger or smaller.

Does it have a pip or pvp features?

Does this support other apps like FUBO tv?

Are there any issues with the VA panel for text (I've always had IPS monitors - never bought a VA before)? I also need to hook up an M1 MBA for software development.

Where can i purchase the 43, trying everywhere in the uk

Can I use a USB C to USB C charger cable? to connect to my macbook air m1 ?

Thanks a ton for this review man. Everyone else review the sponsored 32" version so it's really great I found your video. Yay!

Can it be used as a gaming monitor for consoles?

can you split screen the smart tv apps and the usbc/ hmdi input?

Hi, Are you still using this? I have the same one but i have an issue, while watching amazon prime it turns on film maker mode and it's dark and annoying mode.I couldn't figure out how to turn it off? Have you tried?

What’s your thoughts on using this as a monitor for M1 MacBook, I will be working mostly on Final Cut Pro and Logic ProX, did you face any lag ?

Nice video, what cable you use to connect the macbook to the monitor? and does it support 4K60?

Hi there, thank you for the review! You got a subscriber :) I have an open questions though: have you tried to use an external speaker with it? Do you know if it's supported and which port would be used it? Maybe bluetooth?

Thanks for showing the backside! 3:10 I'll be adapting the M7 43" (200 x 200 Vesa) to my Ergotron LX arm mount (100 x 100) with a Husky adaptor. I was happy to find out that the M7 43" monitor was just under 19 lbs (without the stand) so the Ergotron LX should handle this just fine.

hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??

I just purchased this monitor, based quite a lot on this review. My biggest concern was font clarity but happily this isn't a problem. I am coming from an excellent LG 4K 32UN880 ergo. It just didn't seem quite big enough. The 43" M7 fits the bill nicely. The LG display was slightly better but I am very happy with the 43" display and as a bonus I can now watch movies and streaming video in a much larger format. I have no problem running the monitor in 4k 60hz resolution. I am using a 2021 16" MBP via USB C and connection/recognition was straight forward. My only complaint and this seems to be a common problem, is that quite frequently there is a pop up message asking to allow or deny a device connection request. From my research on the internet, there doesn't see to be an adequate solution for this problem. My keyboard and mouse easily connected via bluetooth as well. The hub connections work ok as well. Only 2 of the 3 USB A type can be used however. The USB connection marked service will read a memory stick or hard drive but neither my webcam nor scanner would work with this port. They do work fine with the other ports. Thanks again for your review.

Thanks for the nice review. Given it’s a VA panel, can you comment on the viewing angle? Considering if I sit 30 inches from the 43” screen. Would I notice any brightness or color distortion at the edges?

Excellent review. One question: A lot of customer reviews that I've read for the monitor complain that the monitor is too dim, even at its peak brightness. Did you find this to be an issue? Thanks

Anyone knows which monitor arm would be compatible with this monitor? It has a 200x200mm VESA mount.

Can I connect my Bluetooth speaker (JBL) to it?

thank u sir. idk if I wanna get this one for opt for an ips or QLED of this size now

Thank you for your explanation of having 43" will make reading text better because it will not be to smalll

How is this for text clarity, for coding or reading purpose/office work.

is it good for using with Series S

how do you mount this on a desk mount? the back part is wider than the square peg standard

how's the brightness?

Its brightness is enough or good for this kind of display ?

Do you use this with any Windows systems? If so, any issues with text clarity due to the BGR sub pixel layout?

Does it have pbp?

@KLGadgetGuy Are you using Apple's Thunderbolt 3 USB C cable ? For 4k@60 hz

Max power consumptions??

I have one of these on order. Excellent review !!

Hey, looking to buy this one as it is cheaper than the other Samsung models (34 inches,), etc. Not sure If Samsung has used less quality material in the body. But my main concern is, do you get tired after a couple of hours because it is a pretty large monitor, not curved, so constantly moving your neck and eyes to find out different content on the screen. e.g. if you are looking at the right, and if you want to close windows (Windows 10), you will bring your eye top right and mouse to close the window. Does it make you tired after 2-3 hours of usage? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your sharing.. I just broken my 43 inch LG IPS monitor, and now considering to buy this. One concern is the flickering. I am a programmer who always scroll on dark background with white text. Does anyone have scrolling issue on editor liked this?

Great review 🔥

Thanks for the review. I just want one for my CCTV closet so anything at 4K, at least 40" and slim will do. Don't need any apps or anything.

How can you reference your ultrawide monitor and not even cover this monitor's 21:9 ultrawide mode?

can you run 4 different hdmi sources at the same time with 4 way split screen like the LG UHD Multi-tasking Monitor

why did i get a non solar white remote

Hi Sir, How is the gaming experience on ultra wide mode. ? Colour reproduction and brightness are good ? And viewing angles ? Im planning to buy for offline work and watching 4k movies and games also.

Hi, thanks for the video, is this screen mat finish or glossy ?

can it be Picture by Picture?

Hi! Is this Google Chrome compatible? Thanks! :)

This is great for a standing desk setup!

are you getting any mac scaling issues ? are the texts crips ?

I bought this tv blind. It’s pretty nice the only that bugs me is that the OS is laggy

There is an issue that when you connect your laptop by HDMI RU-vid videos ( except 4k 8k ) playing by lagging. I went to the store yesterday and checked with Samsung staff there. They told me have not realized before this issue. There has to be a setting / or settings which will sort out this delay. It is 60 hz and when i connect my Apple Cinema Display 30 inch it works great. So it made me thought. Even it has DVI connected monitor. On the other hand when you play RU-vid videos through monitor's own app then it works flawlessly. So same device and different outcomes ...

can I connect my Bluetooth soundbar I have now with my Samsung TV?

Definitely buying this all in one Solution.

Great review! Really informative and not just a feature rundown. I just tried using my 4k 43" TV to see how the size would suit. The TV made it feel like the screen was curving slightly away from the middle (opposite to a curved monitor). Did you notice this with the M7? I hope not as I'm really thinking of getting the 43" M7. Thanks.

Is there enough space under the monitor to put a soundbar? Since the monitor is huge, I guess you have to set it quite low in order to be able to use the upper corners comfortably, which doesn't let much space under. Could you measure the available height under the monitor?

can I use this monitor for forex trading?, is the processor capable of handling trading for at least 12 hours a day without lagging?

I would need to hear it in person, but to me the sound was great , I don't know why you felt disappointed.

A lot of things missed out in this review are the major features and the primary reason for buying this monitor over any other Wired 43 inch 4K monitors. Samsung Dex wirelessly, Airplay2, wireless display, keyboard, mouse and gamepad connectivity and display mirroring (Google TV). You can also turn the monitor on via a mobile device on the same network and control the setting via Samsung Smartthings on Apple and Samsung devices. With all due respect you reviewed this primarily as a monitor and its much more than just a monitor, So yes it does make sense.

Hi Mark--thanks for the review! But, does your monitor get VERY HOT?? My monitor gets very HOT--not sure how to fix this? It's my 2nd monitor =( Not sure how to fix this.

I purchased the 32", I just haven't set it up yet. What size is your desk?

Does this have an antenna input port?

mmm i like this monitor and I now want one in 43 inch...lol.....I will add external speakers KANTO TUK's with a matching subwoofer....should be perfect i think for my PC....will be NO GAMING but will be NETFLIX...WEB SURFING...SOCIAL MEDIA...UTUBE....AMAZON PRIME..DISNEY PLUS etc....what are your thoughts on this set up...thx ...cheers from Canada

When you're sitting in the centre don't the end looks faded... I got this montor but returned it due to looooooot of color washing

A few years ago we would've thought these bezels were small. Now we complain about any bezel whatsoever.

Please make a video showing texts and colors from 30-40 degree side view from the middle. Samsung says 178 degree wide view, but its VA panel. Thats what is holding me to go for this purchase. Please help your viewers. Thank you.

Interesting information, thank you for sharing. Question, why are you playing background music? It is beyond me why RU-vid content creators think it necessary and cool playing music over their voice. We came to hear you, instead we are fighting the drone of annoying music. Many folks have hearing difficulties, thus your music over your voice quickly becomes extremely intrusive.

ITS AN EXCEL MONSTER! I like!

Great Video!

how did you connect to your mac?

Does this have hdr 10?

Can you please check if this monitor is giving flickering issues ? How is your experience after using it for so many days with consistent usage ? Please share.

Is it available in Indonesia???

does this monitor support picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture?

I just bought the Samsung 43" M70B 4K smart TV and got it on sale (new) for $314 to use as a monitor for my Alienware tower.... I feel so guilty.... LOL, not! I will come back and comment with an update if the thing knocks my socks off. I write books and do static graphics for my book series webpage and really need the expanded desktop. More to come...... ADDENDUM: The thing kicks @$$ as my primary monitor. My old 32" in 1440p is now turned portrait to the right side of the thing and I have doubled my desktop to the exact pixel count! The thing I don't like is that it does not have the "displayport" option but the Dell 4k 43" monitor does. Yea, I'm already planning ahead.... From Amazon on Black Friday it will be a bargain you can't pass up!

Remove the background music! Would have liked to hear more about the va-panels image quality while watching movies/gaming. You mostly talk about the size and not about as a comparison to other monitors in the same size.

Why this disturbing background "music" ?

Can you test it with a real laptop ?

Black smearing?

Is it loud enough to watch it in a living room?

I'm a software developer and I'm planning to replace my 2x VIEWSONIC 32" VX3276-2K-MHD dual monitor setup. I spent so much time with my computer and my question is this, is this monitor good for me?

This is now on sale for $314. Are there any big advantages over using... say a 43" TCL 4 series 4K TV as a monitor for $200?

Why not use smart tv instead as it has more functions than smart monitor?

heres a fun fact: does it make sense for everyone? prolly not.. does it make sense for me specifically? yes in my country there is a mandatory tax on tv-stations. this does not apply to monitors. saving 320 euros a year by buying a monitor and using it as a tv...
