Samsung- Ls32Am700Uwxxl, 32 Inch (81.28 Cm) 3840 X 2160 Pixels M7 Smart Led Monitor with Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Apple Tv Streaming (Black)

The M5 32" (₹ 25000) appears to be a bang for the buck over the M7 32" variant(₹ 37000).The only two differences being -1. Screen resolution - 1080P (M5) vs 4K (M7)2. USB C to C option for 65W charging & connectivity is present in M7 & not in M5. However the USB C to C cable is not included in the M7 OOTB package for which you will need to shed out another 1000 odd bucks to get the compatible cable and make use of the connectivity option. Huge disappointment on that front.M5 32" is still a desirable monitor cum Tv @ ₹ 25000 given the value proposition it offers while M7 falls flat, charging a bomb.For 37000, you can get a massive 4K HD LED IPS Redmi TV at 55" against the minuscule 32" inch 4K HD LED VGA Samsung M7 smart monitor, if you desire for a good TV. If you are just after the monitor & not the TV, 25K M5 variant would suffice more than needed.-------Detailed Review :What's in the box? 🎁1. 32" VGA Monitor & a stand with required screws. (Yeah you've seen it right, it's VGA and not IPS)2. Power Adapter3. HDMI - HDMI Cable4. Remote with batteriesWhat's not? 🚫USB type C-C cable for 65W charging is NOT included as part of the M7 package and the feature in itself is not available in the M5 32"/27".What's great? 😻1. TV + Monitor all in one interface, pre loaded with the YouTube/Prime/Netflix/Hotstar/Zee5/Apple TV+ apps.2. Display & visual calibration - Despite being a VGA panel, I've zero complaints on the display quality and the available calibration options. I haven't witnessed any ghosting/black bleeding regardless of the surrounding brightness. Eye Care & Adaptive Display calibration are good & I'm sure with the subsequent software updates, display options and calibrations will only grow from strength to strength.3. Seamless transition from Tv to Work & back : Thanks to the Tizen OS. All it takes is just a remote click and I'm already loving to swap between the TV & the Work Monitor without much ado or efforts.4. Remote - The best part of it all. Minimalistic yet effective. This makes the experience so rewarding. Offers the comfort from wherever you are.5. Audio quality - Oh boy, this blew me off! Nobody would've expected a monitor to perform so well in this area. The Amplification option is "real loud" and trust me you won't need to tune beyond 25 so not to invite the fury of your neighbours. Audio quality is exceptionally good given its price range. Hey but, don't expect the Atmos / Bass effect. It does it's job over and above. DOT. It even allows you to pair a bluetooth headset/speaker if in case you need. The BT headphone option for sure helps those late night binge watchers with parents/kids next room.6. AirPlay support - Perhaps the only non mac monitor to come up with an inbuilt AirPlay support. You can mirror your iOS / MacOs / iPadOs devices with an one time pairing. Works reasonably good although the efficacy lies in the strength of your Wifi.But make no mistake, the monitor doesn’t support HomePods / HomePods Mini yet for Audio streaming. I wish they enabled this feature. This monitor and HomePods for audio would’ve summed up a quality entertainment.What's Meh? 😼1. Tizen/Samsung App Store is still evolving and you won't find a lot of Indian OTT/News apps in there yet. But all the major ones mentioned above are already available.2. Bixby Voice assistant is still mediocre.3. Not for ardent gamers. Screen refresh rate tanks at 60Hz.4. No Ethernet port making it entirely relying on Wifi. So unless you’ve a strong Wifi, you can’t leverage the Tv features much.5. Wireless screen mirroring has a lag and that’s understandable. However the wireless mirroring supports only the screen refresh rate of 30 Hz against the capable 60 Hz. As well the screen resolution is supported only at 720P / 1080P against the 4K.

I narrowed on this one after a thorough research while my purchase. Although I was a little skeptical of the brand for the product but it's a value for money I would say. It has a little mechanical fault as the monitor stays tilted towards right but otherwise it's all good. The smart remote is a good one too and this will be smart choice against the lokes of costlier brand like Dell, hp, etc.

I was initially looking just for a monitor as an extended display for my office laptop. During my research, I stumbled upon this smart monitor and thought it was interesting that it supported Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube without laptop connection. I was confused between the 27 inch model, the M5 and M7. I almost decided to go for the M5 after reading negative reviews for the M7. But I went with a gut feeling and decided to choose the M7.But boy, was I in for a huge surprise. Below are the list of surprises that I observed in the first day itself.1) While setting up the monitor to connect with the laptop, I realised that the laptop could be connected wirelessly, and you are free to take your laptop around without the restriction of wires.2) This is a 4K monitor, so you can watch 4k videos on YouTube for free, and in Netflix for an additional fee. (Maybe other apps as well)3) This monitor has Samsung TV Plus, which has its own set of TV channels. So its like you're watching your regular TV. However, do note that the channels are not much and not very exciting either. But given that your aren't paying a penny extra for this, it's welcome. (I've just explored this TV for a few hours, so there might be more to it).4) This monitor also has a Web browser, and it is fairly easy to operate it using the remote. So any unsupported apps (like Hotstar, details below) can be run here.5) This has a remote, which is such a convenient device to use.6) The audio levels are really good for a bedroom of decent size.However I must mention that there are a few glitches that I've observed during my first few hours with it (please do note that the below are my initial impressions and might change when I spend more time with it).1) The monitor has voice assistant, with 3 different options: Bixby, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. I chose Alexa, but it doesn't seem to working as well as in Fire Stick. I'll be spending more time on it to fix the issue.2) There is support for Apple Airplay, but when we did connect, we realised that the only supported app was Tunes Station, and it acted like an audio speaker of our iPhone without any video capabilities. The monitor does support Apple TV and Music, hence we are yet to test them.3) You can also cast your Android phone wirelessly onto it, but the initial impression was just ok. Might change in coming days.4) While setting up the monitor, I skipped the option of creating a Samsung account. I faced no issue while setting up Netflix, Prime Video, Zee5, etc. But while trying to install Hotstar, it did want me to login through Samsung account which I felt weird. (again this might change in coming days).5) This monitor has only 60Hz refresh rate, which might not be good enough for gaming as well as for 4k content. If gaming is your primary purpose for buying a monitor, then there are other options with higher refresh rates and probably better screen panels.6) This is not a Curved screen, hence viewing it in close proximity might not be a convenient experience (need to understand that better in coming days).Some more untested features that I intend to explore in coming days:1) This supports Bluetooth devices like keyboard, mouse, etc. Hence I might try out devices like a joystick, headphones to see how they work.2) It also has various USB slots to connect hard drive, pen drives, etc.3) Any Samsung phone with Android 8.1 or later can be mirrored onto the monitor simply by tapping the phone on the top or side of the monitor.There might be many more which I've missed given that I've just spent I few hours with it.However my delivery experience was not that great, since I was initially delivered a defective product. The return/replacement also wasn't as hassle-free as I wouldn't wanted it to be. But I commend the Amazon support team who ensured that it didn't end up becoming a horrendous experience.Overall, I would say this is an excellent choice for someone who wants both an extended display for their office laptop, as well as a second TV for their bedroom. If you do not watch 4k content much, then go for the M5 Full HD one. But if budget is a concern, go for the 27 inch model. There's also a 43 inch 4k model. But I'd recommend that only if this will be your primary TV, as well as if your WFH setup allows such a huge sized device. Unfortunately, at this moment there are no other smart monitors available, hence the choices are limited. But I have to say, the choices are really good.Hope this review helps you in making a right decision. Good luck. :)

HDMI not detecting via display portal .VGA to hdtv adapter (converter to HDMI ) only connected. At least one display portal required in the next model for the PC (laptop its working fine )

It puts a lot of strain on your eyes even for short work duration. Very good for media consumption and gaming but not good for workholics.

it’s been 3 months that am using this monitor, it is still good and awesome. so far i don’t see any issues.it would be more value added if it has audio output option.laptop Bluetooth/wireless connectivity is nice option but lagging screen and no clarity.overall product is better

I was skeptical ordering online, but had to order as this model was not available at any stores. So i ordered on 22nd and received on 24th as expected. Had already read in reviews about damaged and used products being received. But I got a new product. After switching On, found backlight issue at bottom of the screen. Not expected this from Samsung. Anyhow I contacted Amazon and was quickly scheduled a return from amazon but no replacement.Good service by Amazon but not happy with Samsung.Overall the product is good for my purpose of having a tv and monitor combined.
