The new Samsung Smart Monitor offers numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones. Users can connect their personal mobile devices with a simple tap using Tap View, App Casting, or Apple AirPlay 2. For a complete desktop experience using a mobile device, users can also connect to the monitor with Samsung DeX.
For home office and learning, the display operates Microsoft Office 365 applications without a PC connection thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, allowing users to view, edit, and save cloud documents directly from the monitor. Remote access also allows users to wirelessly and remotely access files from a PC or view content from a laptop, whether they are elsewhere in the home or in the office. The USB Type-C port enables data, viewing and power (up to 65W) with a single connection, keeping the area around the monitor clean and beautiful. Multiple USB ports and Bluetooth 4.2 allow for additional connection versatility while the display has a built-in two-channel speaker.
An entertainment center
When work gets done, the display also doubles as a complete entertainment hub with the ability to stream content with Samsung’s Smart Hub. The monitor’s app store allows users to stream their favorite content, including Netflix, HBO, and YouTube, even without a connection to a PC or mobile device. The content can be easily accessed with the supplied remote control, which includes hotkeys for the streaming service. The display can also be controlled by voice thanks to the Bixby integration.
The Smart Monitor also features technology designed to make viewing more comfortable. Adaptive Picture optimizes image quality for any viewing environment by automatically adjusting brightness and color temperature in response to room conditions. This ensures the most comfortable viewing experience in any environment, reducing eye strain even after prolonged use. The monitor also has a special eye protection mode to reduce blue light.
The monitor is available in two models at launch. The M7 supports ultra high definition (UHD) resolution in 32 inches, while the M5 supports Full HD (FHD) resolution in 32 and 27-inch options.
