Korea: Samsung Smart Monitor incorporates powerful mobile and PC connectivity, remote home office, and learning features as well as Smart Hub, a comprehensive entertainment hub, similar to Samsung’s built-in Smart TV platform.
- For home office and learning, the display operates Microsoft Office 365 applications2 without a PC connection thanks to embedded Wi-Fi, allowing users to view, edit and save documents in the cloud directly from the monitor.
- Remote Access also allows users wirelessly and remotely access files from a PC or view content from a laptop whether it is situated elsewhere in the house or at the office.
- The USB Type-C port3 allows for data, display, and power — up to 65W — with just 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.
- The monitor’s app store allows users to stream their favorite content including Netflix, HBO, and YouTube4 even without a connection to a PC or mobile device. Content can easily be accessed with the supplied remote control, which includes streaming service hot keys. The display can also be controlled by voice thanks to Bixby integration.
- Adaptive Picture optimizes picture quality for any viewing environment by automatically adjusting brightness and color temperature in response to room conditions.
The monitor is available in two models at launch. The M7 supports Ultra-High Definition (UHD) resolution in 32-inch while the M5 supports Full HD (FHD) resolution in 32-inch and 27-inch options.
The Samsung Smart Monitor will be available from November 16 in United States, Canada, and China, and Samsung plans to expand launching markets starting the end of November
“Around the world, work, education and entertainment have transformed into home-centered activities,” said Hyesung Ha, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With this new normal, it is no surprise that most indicators show a rise in digital activities and many are rethinking their technology use at home. Our new Smart Monitor is a direct response to that demand. Consumers no longer have to choose between a screen for one or the other as this display brings it all together.”
