There was a time when users who were interested in a monitor for their computer looked for models with a built-in TV tuner. But times change, and now content consumption is going elsewhere, such as video-on-demand services. And for this reason, Samsung has launched these interesting models.
The best of work with the best of leisure
A monitor is a very important tool with which to be able to work comfortably, but it is also a fundamental piece for leisure. Having large inches allows you to enjoy a larger workspace and the comfort to devour movies and series in great detail, and so, with this idea of ​​offering the best of both worlds, Samsung introduced the new SmartMonitor M5 y SmartMonitor M7.
With remote control
With the idea of ​​disconnecting from the workday complex, these monitors have a remote control so that we can navigate the Tizen operating system and thus execute the applications of Netflix, Prime Video or any other type of application that you install through the application store.
In addition, with the mirroring functions, you can also send content from your phone directly to the screen, so you won't even have to move if you want to see something in larger inches.
As you may have seen, basically we would have the functions of Samsung Smart TVs in a team designed to be placed on a desk next to a PC.
They can already be bought in Spain
The models were presented last November, and although they were initially available in the United States, China and Canada, we still had to find out when they would hit our store shelves. Well, these new monitors can already be purchased at regular distributors at a price of 399 Euros for the 7-inch M32 model, 289 Euros for the 5-inch M32 and 249 Euros for the 27-inch version of the M5.
The Smart Monitor M7 is the only one that has 4K resolution, so it is also a very interesting option for use with consoles. It is true that it does not have HDMI 2.1 to enjoy 4K at 120 HZ, but taking into account its price, design, and features, it's not bad when considering it as a possible option for your desktop.
