Samsung continues to renew its catalog of monitors and now it is the turn of two new models such as the Samsung M7 and the Samsung M5 . Two 4K or 1080p monitors (depending on the model) and with diagonals ranging from 27 to 32 inches that have some striking specifications.
Monitors that would come to compete in the upper mid-range of the market with prices that would range from $ 230 to a figure close to $ 400. They will be included in the Smart Monitor family with functions that combine the possibility of accessing multimedia services, integration with mobile connectivity and remote PC capabilities.
All on one monitor
Both models boast a number of striking features. The Samsung Smart Monitor range makes use of an operating system based on Tizen OS and thanks to the fact that they have integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, we can access applications such as Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, YouTube … without the need to connect any device . In addition, we can install other applications from the integrated application store, including the Samsung Health app.
The panels will be compatible with the HDR10 image mode , so that you can take advantage of the compatible content from the applications that we have seen before, all very much in the style of what current Smart TVs offer.
These two new models will be compatible with the voice control of Bixby 2.0, Alexa and Google Assistant. They can even integrate with AirPlay 2 and make it possible to stream content from Apple devices.
A mouse and keyboard can be connected to both monitors via Bluetooth 4.2 and thus remotely access applications that require their use or even Office 365 through a virtual machine. You can also connect wirelessly through DeX, Samsung’s utility that allows you to turn your mobile into a pocket PC. And as a bonus, it also allows you to mirror the screen of a Samsung phone (with Android Oreo 8.1 or higher) by touching it on the upper right edge of the monitor, where its NFC tag is located.
With two built-in 5 W speakers that can get us out of trouble, these models come in different sizes. The M7 with a 32-inch 4K panel while the M5 does it in a 27-inch size with a Full HD panel and another 32-inch, also Full HD.
The Samsung M7 has a USB-A takes three 2.0 USB-C ports so that a single cable can transmit data and a load of up to 65 W. For its part, the Samsung M5 integrates two HDMI 2.0 ports, now without USB-C and three USB-A 2.0 ports for data.
