Samsung32-Inch M7 (M70D) Series 4K UHD Smart Monitor with Streaming TV, Speakers, HDR10, USB-C, Multiple Ports, Gaming Hub, SolarCell Remote, Vision Accessibility Tools, LS32DM703UNXZA, 2024, White

I ordered this monitor because I initially thought Picture in Picture would be the same as Picture by Picture but it was totally different. PiP allows a picture, image, or video inside the main screen from another device or app. PbP allows you to connect another or multiple devices or computer/laptop (depending how many ports is available) to show up on the screen side by side another device or computer on the screen. I ended up returning it and bought a different monitor that has PbP.overall, this monitor is amazing and big, great for gaming and for work or just casually watch tv or streaming service apps like Netflix, paramount, Prime, Youtube, or Samsung Channels.The resolution is great quality and allows for split screen (Not the same as picture by picture from other devices) so you could watch youtube or streaming apps on one screen, do computer work on another, and browse the internet on another.It reduces the need for multiple monitors with great resolution and allows for multiple tasks

This is my second monitor the first has been in use for well over a year and has performmed perfectly. They are a little heavy at just under 15lb and the first stand I purchased for it was overwhelmed even though it stated it would hold 20lb So I purchased a second stand that was supposed to hold 2 x 32" monitors side by side. But it would not as these monitors measure over 32" on the diagonal. So now I have ordered a two monitor stand that is supposed to hold two 42" monitors hoping this will now hold both monitors ? I recommend these monitors if you need a 4K smart TV that can be used as a great monitor as well

I bought this just to use as a second monitor for a Lenovo desktop PCI and a Lenovo laptop PC. It was incompatible with both. Neither of them could detect it properly, even though a Samsung tech support person insisted that it was "plug and play" and the monitor's diagnostic tests had clean results. I spent eight hours attempting to get it to work, including four of five hours on the phone and messaging with Samsung and Lenovo technical support. My Lenovo laptop has all the most current updates, including device drivers, BIOS, Windows 10 updates. I'm giving up and returning it to Amazon. This model, by the way is a 43" version. The model number on Amazon's product detail page was LS43DM703UNXGO. This is the same as the "model code" on the back of the monitor, which said the "model" was S43DM702UN and the "Type No." was S43DM702U. (Confused? I don't blame you.)Calling this device a monitor seems to be a misnomer. It's more of a complex smart TV that purportedly can be used as a monitor. The remote control is handy, but the user interface appears complex and confusing. For example, its guide to hooking up to a PC -- which appears in an illogical location in the menus -- says that if the connection doesn't work, go to Home > Menu > Connected Devices > Sources > Edit Menu. But there is no such path; there was no "Sources" selection under "Connected Devices."

This monitor is loaded with apps and free channels you can surf, with every genre imaginable. You probably don't even need cable with this monitor. Note: There is no antenna input for coaxial cable or terrestrial antenna. Inputs are via HDMI. I use this monitor for both a second computer monitor and for watching free online streaming channels, such as Pluto TV and Samsung TV Plus. I love the color and the clarity. Very thin bezel, so no wasted space. Very light and easy to set up.

I originally purchased a Samsung gaming monitor, and was shocked when it arrived and did not have a USB-C port, a USB-A port or an HDMI port. Rather, it came with a displayport. I thought that a gaming monitor would offer more options, not less. I could find no way to connect it to my laptop without an adapter, even though my laptop has an HDMI port, a USB-A port and two USB-C ports. The lack of a commonplace USB-C port was an instant deal-breaker. USB-C is the port most used for connections currently. I returned the gaming monitor.First, the ports on this monitor: This monitor refreshingly comes with a battery of conventional ports, and the ways by which I can connect it to my laptop are endless. HDMI ports are now the de facto preferred means of connecting a laptop to a monitor because of its ability to facilitate the transfer of high resolution video and audio (it used to be VGA). This monitor comes packed with three USB-A ports, one HDMI port and one USB-C port. A USB-C to USB-C cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable are supplied. This means that one can connect peripherals like a mouse or keyboard directly to the monitor.The monitor comes with a slender solar-powered (the first I've ever seen) remote control which facilitates switching between the monitor and the "smart TV." It offers access to all the usual apps, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. Because these apps are already on my laptop, including them in the monitor is somewhat redundant. But it means that the monitor does not have to be connected to anything to be its own viable source of entertainment. The remote control even has a dedicated Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon prime buttons. The smart TV personality of the monitor also offers a bevy of free shows even without the use of an app. It permits tuning into live TV channels.Any user who is already in the Samsung environment will enjoy a synergy that comes from using other Samsung branded equipment. Connecting the TV to my Samsung account was a breeze; the TV generated a QR code which, once I scanned it with my phone's QR reader, found my account and logged me in to the TV during setup. Any Samsung phone can be used to control the monitor through the Smart Things app. Importantly, the monitor permits the use of the DEX capability which allows Samsung phones to be used as a desktop computer on a monitor or even TV.The 32 inch screen size is in fact, the largest monitor I have ever used. Most office monitors are no more than 24 inches. My home office desk is just big enough to accommodate the 32-inch, which looks a lot bigger than it sounds. I would not want a bigger one.The cons: The graphics on this monitor are not as good as I expected, considering the fact that this monitor is being touted as one that can handle gaming. It is certainly more than good enough for my routine work-related tasks. But the videos are not quite as crisp as expected, given the credentials of this monitor. I also feel that the speakers are a missed opportunity. I measure quality audio by clean bass. While the monitor's speakers are much louder than my laptop's, they could have incorporated a richer sound to boost the monitor's multimedia credential. However, the more expensive gaming laptop, which I returned, had no speakers at all. So there's that. Speakers and cameras are not yet commonplace additions to monitors.To conclude: This monitor is best described as a jack of all trades, and master of none. It handles work-related tasks with remarkable ease, and if one has a break at work, provides endless entertainment at the beck and call of the user. The video is not quite as crisp as one would expect of a gaming monitor, but that is not its strength. For the price, this might well be as good as it gets. I would recommend.
