Samsung Smart Monitor M7 Review 2021 | The Tech Chap 

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

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.

Me having a 65" smart tv in my room but still watching Netflix on my phone

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

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

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

Seems like a great solution for a college dorm room.

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

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.

Excellent review! Thank you for doing this. I was literally sold after the first 1:22 made my shopping and research super easy!

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, 👍🏼

The USB C port does allow charging, at 8:00 it does say 65W.

Love your content. You’re amazing! :)

Exactly what I was looking for.

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

Great review, good balance between the + and -!

great vid Tom! x

Great info my dude. Thanks a ton

Thanks, coz of your vid, I can finally made up my mind 😊

Nice summary video!

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 RU-vid, 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.

Hey Tech Chap could you please recommed the best monitors for the new PS5 im in the market to get a new one thanks as always love your content Cheers Mate

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

Great review! Perfect for my setup!

Thank you for your video 👍🏼

The anxiety that Tom might knock over his mug off the desk is astoundingly high in this video.

Great video 😘😘

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?

This was very eye-opening, thanks!

Excellent review of a monitor/tv.

This is a dream tv /monitor I love to have. It meets the need of a basic home and office. The price is good.

Great gadget reviews. 😃💻📱

I just brought this from my local store can't wait to get it set up

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 🇨🇦

Thank you sir for the Samsung advert! 👍

Link to the other monitor you’re talking about at 10:08?

Hi, can we use it as a standard computer monitor connecting any Desktop computer or a TIny PC?

Nice review 👍🏻

Thanks for the great review. About the color distinguishes, which you mentioned a cons for this monitor, does it impact on 3d modelling for such as interior design works?

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.

Could you share the link to your wallpaper? It looks awesome!

This is the perfect product for my needs, but like you mentioned, I wish I could pay a bit more for 90/120hz and better colors.

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

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!

Excelente video. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde México.

The Built-in USB-C port and the Airplay feature are the two things that convinced me to get this monitor since I'll be using it with Macbook

That's what I thought just yesturday. "There must be a Smart monitor out there". Thank you for the information.

just bought mine, couldn't be happier, Microsoft flight 2020 never looked better to me. Im sure it would if i spent another $500 But seriously this display is awesome for the price and lets be honest no matter what you buy now, in 1years time there's gonna be something better for another $500 etc etc. Get it NOW its great

I use mine with my Apple TV 4K. It works and looks good. I am quite pleased with mine.

hi, can this monitor connect a webcam and use zoom for meeting without desktop/notebook?

Great video.

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.

Man, I think I need it!

This is an amazing monitor in my opinion because for many years I've been using an old TV from like 10 years ago and the most it can do is 720p 30fps I bet there is a big change.

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.

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

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.

Looks great

Would rhis be the same for the samsung odyssey g7? With the widows and all of that

Finally someone made it. I was waiting for a smart Monitor for years.

Can we get sound using ubs-a,or usb-c adapters to 3.5mm on this monitor,since there's no headphone jack?

I just ordered it. I thank you for your video. I think it is a wise choice for monitor/ smart TV. It is currently out of stock currently till early Feb 2023. Hope it worth the waiting. Merry Christmas.

I bought this monitor and i cant complain. Its the Best bang for your buck

Tbh I can't afford every single tech you've had reviewed since day 1.

I’m going to hold out a little while longer. My 4K lg monitor does the job for now.

Nice & Thanks :)

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!

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

Is there any advantage of using the smart monitor for my pc, over using a smart tv as a monitor for my pc?

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.

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.

can anyone explain to me how it is that in some images there seems to be way more screen real estate vs others? is the resolution being adjusted for each case?

Just a question does this monitor support screen split? For multi task?

Is this good for Graphic designers? I do only logo design. what do you think?

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.

Great Video! I don’t need the smart tv (already have a tv in my office) but need Apple AirPlay for my laptop when I can’t be plugged in. I am looking at this Samsung 32" M70A 4K UHD Smart Monitor. Would you recommend this. Thought about consolidation and going with like a 43 but so big for Business work Thanks

Hey, sup ? I would like to know what shield does your note 20 ultra have ? Please answer 🙏🙂

I appreciate being able to cast to the TV. Don't have a laptop or desktop connected to it no streaming device either.

hi, do you prefer HDR- or SDR-Gaming on your LG 38WN95C? :-)

I love how you didn't even say a word about the quality of the display

Is it an all in one like the IMac? I want to know

Hi, This monitor also works with Wi-Fi or it has to be connected to a cable to have internet.

How to control extended screen? .. Is it possible with TV mouse and keyboard which is connected by cable or Bluetooth on TV?

So can this display both output display and charge my laptop at the same time when connected by USB C? i have a Dell XPS 15

8:16 wait? So why is there a 65w sign if it doesnt charge?

How many of these screens can you connect to one machine at a time?

Can you use dolby atmos with it while in TV mode

Does this monitor have the HV Flip function?

what was the model you introduced in the last part of the video?

Okay Gotta get rid of my hp and my dell monitors to get this. In love with it

I would love to use this as a secondary monitor for my gaming PC. Normally I put discord up on one of my 10 year old 1080p 21 inch monitors, a web browser on my other 10 year old 1080p 21 inch monitor, and game on my nice dell ultra wide. This seems like a perfect way to replace those two ten year old monitors. This would be very nice to use to watch hockey or football while gaming.

As someone how wants a monitor and a TV but can't have both it's perfect

I bought it and I'm happy with it

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.

Isn't the TU87F the Thunderbolt version you say they should have? I just picked an M7 up and I'm happy enough with it that I just ordered a second one! (I don't need Thunderbolt as both will hang off docks)

Anybody know about the input lag on this? Considering this to use with an Xbox Series X/PS5

this is a very good deal for me.. because of this Work From Home things, i need to get this monitor, so now i have 4 times screen of my HD laptop (i use only the monitor, my laptop lid are close).. of course this is the best at this price, consider the screen panel, color accuracy, etc. the thing is this can operate without laptop! using rmeote PC or directly 365, or just chillin with my netflix & apple TV...and have a speaker! not a awesome one, but big enough for 4x5 meter square room... sometimes i use the kids channel to distract my kids tantrum while i work on the laptop screen..haha

Hello! If i connect a Samsung USB Type-C to 3.5mm headset jack in the M7 monitor will i be able to use it for headphones or Logitech Speakers with 3.5mm jack? Thank You

Hi, Could you please let me know if you can plug a HUMAX AURA 4K Recorder into the HDMI Port to enable Freeview TV Programmes?

Does it have settings to enable IP control and wake on lan? These settings are under “expert settings” under the network settings os most Samsung Smart TVs
