I am near engulfed into the Samsung ecosystem (Phone, TV, my main monitor all Samsung) so I am happy to write this review and confirm Samsung did great with this one. There are a lot of features, it is a smart monitor after all, with all the necessities right in it.
Setup:
It came with everything I needed, power, usbc, hdmi, some other miscellaneous cables and the remote. Since I have a Samsung phone I was easily able to set up the monitor with that and tie it to my Samsung account. It automatically connected to my wifi through phone setup and I am able to control the monitor with my phone as well as the (awesome solar powered) remote control. It gives you two other options to setup which I'm sure are simple as well. It easily mounted on my existing VIVO monitor mount too. It also has a camera that clips super easily to the top and THANKFULLY comes with a privacy blocker on it, great looking camera too.
Features:
It's got a whole app store you can go through, which I've used on my TV and can say it works as it should with a wide variety of apps. Even the fitness apps are great! I enjoy putting on the Samsung TV Plus app where it's basically free cable, a lot of older shows are on there but my partner and I have watched hours and hours of Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen, etc haha. I personally don't use streaming services on this but glad it has all the major players included, especially with the Gaming hub where you can connect your Xbox Game Pass, Luna, GeForce account and do the streaming straight to it without any console (or computer for that matter). That is a game changer as this is an expensive monitor, but being able to connect your controller to it and stream full games means this is basically a console in itself. Even has built in speakers too!
4k is very crisp on this, great colors and brightness gets very high and are very customizable to your exact taste (my pic doesn't even do it justice). It has a game mode where you can add a virtual crosshair, change response times, HDR, etc. It's worth mentioning that the refresh rate is 60HZ so if you are an ultra competitive twitch shooter gamer (ie Counter Strike, Valorant) you may want something with a higher refresh rate, I come from a 200hz so it's definitely noticeable but perfectly sufficient for most people. If you like cinematic single player games, nice looking coop games, or are an avid 4k movie enjoyer then this is great for you (just be sure you have a good machine if you are running intensive games at 4k). Everything looks so amazing on here. Pro tip: Get some animated 4k wallpapers on Wallpaper Engine and you'll be blow away.
Overall:
I am extremely happy with this monitor. While it is expensive, it looks, runs, and performs great and as expected! I like that it has enough features that you can get a lot of use out of it even without a PC or other device attached to it. If you're looking for a high end monitor to pair with your PC or console, this is a great choice and I would easily recommend it!

I guess there's a market for monitors that double in as TVs?
Been mostly using this as a monitor for work-related stuff, so I'll be focusing on the monitor-side of things rather than the "TV that runs on Tizen" side of things. As a monitor, it's pretty good. It is a VA panel, but I've found from using IPS vs VA 4K panels, it's honestly not bad apart from white colors feeling a little bit gray. If you do use this just as a monitor, the rest of the Smart TV stuff actually doesn't get in the way that much, it's actually pretty seamless.Since this is a "Smart TV in the form of a monitor" (not sure if that's more accurate or "monitor that's also a Smart TV"), it comes with a controller. Samsung put solar panels on the back of the controller in addition to the USB-C charging port, so I guess depending on where you put the controlle ryou might never have to charge it. It's pretty easy to use and in a monitor perspective the signal works fine between the controller and the monitor, but I wasn't able to test the extremes of the controller's signal to the monitor.USB-C shows up as 60W for both a Macbook Pro 14in and a Thinkpad T14s G4, so technically it's not the "65W claimed" but I'm not going to discount any points for that, it's really dependent on the USB-C power delivery support. USB ports on the back is only USB2, this isn't a major issue, besides if you had a normal USB-C cable (w/ display support) the USB would've been USB2 speeds anyways to maintain 4k60hz.Webcam is actually pretty good, at least better than the 1080p webcam on the Thinkpad T14s G4. It does have scan lines though when I tested it in the Windows camera application. It's not significant, but it's a heads up to note. The integration is also pretty cool. The module is a USB-C module, but to attach it to the monitor, there's an additional adapter that adheres via a pogo pin connection, and it's secured by magnets. The camera cover is something you manually remove on/off, but is also secured magnetically. Keep in mind, by default the USB device setting is "auto". This means if you're connected via USB-C, it will switch the USB (including the webcam) back to the USB-C device only when you exit out of the TV mode. Another nice thing is an ambient light sensor for autobrightness. It seems to work okay, I've never had to adjust the display brightness.Downsides, the first is the massive power brick. Unfortunately I guess for size purposes, Samsung didn't integrate the power supply to the monitor, but rather used a giant power brick. I guess since this is kind of a "monitor/Smart TV hybrid" Samsung was worried you might place it where a power port isn't nearby? The second downside is the lack of a USB KVM. Okay this is a bit of a nitpick, but given there's only 2 display outputs, the USB ports are only useful if you're connecting through a USB-C device or to the monitor itself as a standalone.At the end of the day, if you got this thing and wanted to use it as a monitor and monitor only, it will work perfectly fine. If you actually want the Smart TV experience, then even better I guess? The $700 price tag at the time of this review however, you can buy a 32in 4K monitor and a 55in 4K smart TV for the same amount of money, if not less. At this price point, you can get a mini LED monitor for less price. If this monitor fits your needs perfectly I would wait until there's a sale, because it's not worth it at the current price.

This product comes almost pre-assembled, making setup easy. All I had to do was attach the computer stand and plug in the detachable webcam, following the manual. The monitor base is heavier than the monitor itself, necessary for supporting a 32" screen. The stand is sturdy, easily supporting the monitor's weight, and allows for height adjustment to achieve the desired eye level. It can also be used in portrait mode without needing an additional mount. The tilting feature works well, keeping the monitor in the exact position it's set to.
The white color and minimal screen edges give it a sleek, attractive appearance. The 32" screen is perfect for multitasking and gaming at 4K resolution. Unlike using a 4K TV as a monitor, there’s no noticeable pixelation or tiny text, even when viewed up close.
It offers multiple input options, including HDMI, USB Type-C, and USB-A. The Type-C port is particularly useful for both charging and data transfer, allowing me to connect my laptop for display and charging with just one cable. The built-in speakers sound good enough for me to remove my desktop speakers. With its 4K display, everything looks stunning, and there are numerous options to adjust the picture quality, including a gaming mode.
As a smart device, this is a full 32" 4K Smart TV, equipped with all the features expected of a modern TV. There are plenty of pre-installed apps, and new ones can be added. The provided solar-powered remote controls all the functions. It can also be paired with the SmartThings app for remote control.
For gaming enthusiasts who enjoy cloud gaming, it doesn't need to be connected to a PC or console. Just connect a mouse, keyboard, or controller, and you can enjoy full games. The AI-powered upscaling enhances non-HD videos to look better. It also claims to have a smart AI sound system that adjusts according to the environment, though I haven't noticed its effect despite enabling it.
This can work as a smart home hub as well. Once added to the smart thing app and enabling smart hub feature on the monitor we can added IOT device on it and do the home automation using the app. It supports wifi, zigbee and matter/thread protocol for the devices.
While there might be other options for a standard 32" 4K monitor or a smart TV, this product combines both functionalities with excellent additional features, making it a reliable choice.
