Despite the high color accuracy and 4K resolution on the Samsung Smart Monitor M7, its lack of Adaptive-Sync support and Variable Refresh Rate is likely to scare away pro gamers.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Samsung Smart Monitor M7 is a budget display launched in 2020 and aimed at users who want to be able to work or enjoy media content seamlessly. It runs on Samsung’s exclusive Tizen OS, making it very easy to navigate and access apps such as Netflix, YouTube, or HBO for streaming. The display’s ability to automatically adjust its brightness levels gives it a slight edge over the Samsung S70A monitor, and its 4K UHD resolution makes it perfect for streaming movies and media content. The monitor’s remote also allows for convenient use, and its built-in speakers are of considerably better quality than other monitors within the same price range. Make sure you get to the end of this Samsung Smart Monitor M7 review to find out if it’s got what it takes to rank among the top-rated computer monitors around.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Samsung Smart Monitor M7 is a great choice for those who need a display for work and play. Its 4K resolution makes it perfect for streaming UHD content, and its color accuracy is great for light design work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have Adaptive-Sync support or a high refresh rate, so it’s not ideal for pro gamers.

Reason to Buy

High color accuracy
Sensors for automatic brightness adjustment
4K resolution for UHD content
Easy to use OS

Reason to Avoid

The stand is not height adjustable
No support for G-Sync or FreeSync
Mediocre build quality
