Review: Hey! This smart PC monitor is also a 32" 4K smart TV!!
WOW!!! - I have procrastinated reviewing this monitor because I
am so thrilled with it in so many ways I don't know where to
begin praising it. It fills every expected need as a PC monitor,
with only one gripe from me: previous to purchasing it (my first
4K monitor) I had never heard of applications having or not
having HiDPI, and was shocked to see how tiny, almost illegible,
text is on displays from applications that do not have it.
Fortunately, I do not frequently use those old applications, so I
don't consider it a major gripe. I never tire of shutting down my
PC and switching the monitor to its own capability as a smart TV.
At 32" it is larger than my first one or few TVs, and the picture
quality at 4K is amazing. Sometimes I watch a movie (Netflix,
desertcart Prime, YouTube, etc.) on it instead of my 4K 55" smart
TV just for the novelty and to enjoy the beautiful imagery. (The
same quantity of pixels packed into 32" instead of 55" makes a
sharper picture, all contributing factors being equal.) I just
love this thing. I frequently just let it play seasonal videos
(fireplaces and snow or rain) that I have loaded into a flash
drive, using the built in speakers, with the PC off, to add
ambience to my den. For movies I switch on a Bluedee mini bar
speaker sitting in front of my keyboard. There is a very cool,
small remote control that sits on top of that speaker, that
provides a very convenient power on/off switch, along with
switches that directly connect to Netflix, Disney+ and desertcart
Prime Video, control volume up/down, mute audio, play,
rewind/fast forward and pause movies/videos, switch back and
forth between PC and monitor only, and my flash drive. Of course,
the remote control works from across the room as well. This smart
monitor/TV is now one of my prize possessions. I recommend it
without reservation. Samsung has their own goodies built into it
that will probably thrill some nerds, but I'm not smart enough to
even investigate those.
Review: Amazing monitor/tv at an amazing price - This is the
perfect replacement for my old 28" Samsung monitor. My desk is at
the base of my bed and this monitor will serve double duty as a
bedroom tv. Beautiful clear 4k screen is bright and the remote
makes using it as a tv so simple. Tremendous buy and value at the
recently reduced retail.
