SamsungLS32DM500EUXXU 32" Full HD HDR10 Smart Monitor with Speakers - 1920x1080, USB, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth, Remote Control, Smart Hub for TV streaming, Catch Up Apps and Gaming Hub

This Samsung smart monitor is like the multitasking coworker we all wish we had—reliable, efficient, and somehow always ready to entertain.The 32” Full HD display offers crisp visuals for work or play. As a monitor, it handles productivity tasks with ease—plenty of screen real estate, solid color accuracy, and a clean design that fits nicely into any home office or setup. But the real fun starts when you’re done working.With Samsung Smart Hub built in, it doubles as a fully functional smart TV. No need for a separate streaming box or extra cables—Netflix, YouTube, and catch-up apps are just a remote click away. Speaking of which, yes—it comes with a remote, and yes, that feels oddly luxurious for a monitor.Built-in speakers aren’t studio-grade, but they’re more than decent for casual viewing and keep the setup clutter-free. Plus, the white finish is a refreshing change from the sea of black monitors out there—clean, modern, and just a bit stylish.Whether you’re jumping between spreadsheets and sitcoms or switching from Zoom calls to gaming, this monitor handles it all without fuss. A great pick for anyone who wants one screen to rule them all—with a little personality on the side.

I was in two minds whether to buy this monitor. It has completely exceeded my expectations. It appears this is an updated (2022) version of the black M7 monitor that was released last year to fairly good reviews.Having used a entry level LG 27inch 4k monitor with a Firestick for work/movies, I wanted something a bit bigger to also use as a TV.For WorkGreat for work as this has 2 levels of eye-care mode which really does combat screen fatigue. It also has an automatic picture adjustment mode which is very impressive. I can wirelessly contact my Macbook and PC to use this as a second screen. I also connect my Mac via HDMI. The monitor has 2 HDMI ports and a host of USB ports for charging devices.For LeisureStunning. It's a VA panel with loads of picture adjustment. Also has the new 'Film Maker Mode' for movies. Have tinkered the settings to my personal choice but out of the box it all looks great. 4K movies in Netflix, Prime etc are stunning with lovely colours. Only minor negative is the viewing angles are not great. This is a disadvantage of using a VA panel although colours are better than IPS panel.I have had no problems connecting with my budget Bluetooth earbuds and more expensive headphones for movies and music. I can wireless connect my phone to the monitor to view files/images/movies etc.Gaming is great. Have connected to PS5 and works very well but its only limited to 60hz so maybe not ideal for hardcore gamersConclusionBrilliant, have not touched on all the features but this monitor is much better than expected. Excellent for work and TV. Was purchased on Amazon for a bargain price but would not feel undone paying the full amount.

The title of this review should not be taken to mean this unit is no good for gaming, but more that I use it more as an home-office device.First, the main negative about this unit, why no ethernet socket? As it has a SmartThings hub & Alexa built in (both of which I had prior to this device) which connect to a lot of other devices to me the omission of an ethernet connection is a major design flaw.The SmartThings hub seems to work okay, but the Alexa is a bit iffy. Sometimes it sees "No Devices" within the Smart Home, and sometimes it sees most of my devices. I don't think the built in Alexa is fit for purpose.As a monitor it is very good, with it's high resolution of 3840 * 2160 it gives a very spacious desktop in Windows 11, and really like this 32" of real estate.A decent user manual, or even a direct link to a downloadable manual would be good, as I find the interface not to be very intuitive , but maybe that is just me. I have used Windows & Android devices for many years, but this one is just "different".As a monitor - 5 stars (no dead pixels, great picture)As A SmartThings Hub - 4 stars (needs a manual)Alexa App - 1 star (so far totally useless)Connectivity - needs an ethernet port.Would I but it again - don't know. Would probably just go for a simple monitor.

Brilliant, pin sharp picture. The only minus are the woeful built in tinny speakers, but they are easily overriden - if you have a decent pair of speakers of your own.

Very satisfied with my order.

Dreadful device.Narrow field of view.If you want to play videos from an external device, it won’t play .avi files. Every device I have can play these files, but Samsung doesn’t support the format on any of their televisions.Very temperamental. External Bluetooth speakers frequently don’t connect.Manual is atrocious. It explains very little.Some functions are greyed out and are simply not available.Very clunky OS. Why click one button when Samsung make you click three.It is a data mining behemoth. It sends data about you to lots of companies. You can accept this by clicking one button. If you don’t agree you have to manually go through every listed company and individually click that you don’t agree. This is absolutely shocking business behaviour and very consumer unfriendly.I do not recommend this device. It is overpriced and performs very badly.
