Samsung today announced the all-new Smart Monitor, a new display solution with features for work, learning and entertainment. Like the Samsung Smart TVs, the new Smart Monitor is powered by Tizen OS and it offers numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones.
Smart TV features:
- Users can connect their personal mobile devices with just a simple tap using Tap View, App Casting or Apple AirPlay 2. Users can also connect to the monitor with Samsung DeX.
- For home office and learning, the display operates Microsoft Office 365 applications 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 port allows for data, display and power — up to 65W — with just a single connection.
- Multiple USB ports and Bluetooth 4.2 allow for additional connection versatility while the display has built-in two channel speaker.
- The monitor’s app store allows users to stream their favorite content including Netflix, HBO and YouTube 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 Samsung Smart Monitor will be available in two sizes. The M7 supports UHD resolution in 32-inch while the M5 supports FHD resolution in 32-inch and 27-inch options.
