It would be cool if websites used the geolocation data to display the local price of items displayed.

As in, most prices I see are in USD, but I’m in Canada, so it would be awesome if that conversion was made automatically.

Just a thought.

Great idea! With live updates too, so if you're in a country with unstable currency — you would be able to see the price fluctuate.

I only wish these smart monitors were modular and could be upgraded physically… after 5 years or so the screen portion is fine, but the smart portion is struggling.

An industry standard port would be a real welcome addition to these.

Either that or just include the really good speakers and rely on multiple HDMI ports.

This is a pretty sweet deal, even though I despise Samsung.

Anybody have this? Is it good?

This would be perfect for a dorm room. Smart TV built in.

I have the 43" M7 and it’s solid… just wish it had PBP and PIP 🤷🏻‍♂️

LG recently discontinued theirs and I don’t see an immediate replacement in the works

But as a WFH monitor/Apple TV compliment, it’s a solid choice

I had one for a few days to try it out. Couldn't gel with it for some reason. Mainly because I wanted to use it wirelessly but it just wasn't the same as using a really good res monitor (I have a Dell which just works perfect with one USB-c cabe).

Im sure the Samsung is amazing and Im sure someone will confirm that shortly but it just didn't suit me personally.

 

[guzhogi]

Just got these (or at least a similar Samsung model) at work. Not sure why we got these rather than a "dumb" monitor. We don't need to watch TV on them. We just need to connect to our computers.

One thing I do like is if we attach via USB-C, it sends the video & power in 1 cable. However, I'm a little surprised that the power cord is a 2-prong plug and not a 3-prong, grounded plug.

 

[FasterQuieter]

If these had full DCI-P3 coverage I think I'd probably already have bought one. They look really nice otherwise.

GBP £566.41 including shipping and import duty if anyone in the UK is interested.

Waiting to see what the 27" Viewfinity S9 gets discounted to.

Something like USB-C? Like this display has…

 

[vegetassj4]

Pfffft. And Apple doesn't even have an M1 monitor yet.

 

[alexandr]

Anybody have this? Is it good?

I ordered it when it was first released. I found it to be awful as far as screen quality goes. I'm a designer, so I care about that. Couldn't calibrate it for s—t. Also, while it does resemble iMacs, the build quality is nothing like Apple.

 

[TheOldChevy]

Maybe a stupid question, but what is "smart" in a smart monitor ? I understand the concept of smart TV (not saying I like it) but a monitor is not expected to have any smartness IMHO.

 

[MacLawyer]

I use the Studio Display but it's nice to know there are some good alternatives that won't break the bank.

 

[Akrapovic]

Anybody have this? Is it good?

I have two of them. They're pretty good. I stand close to my monitors (standing desk) and the panel quality is good. They're both connected to my MBP.

Note that there is no 3.5mm audio out, which is my only issue.

It's the same idea. Has a remote. Can stream video native on the monitor. Aimed at people with limited space (student in a dorm room) where you can't have a monitor and a TV for example.

Anybody have this? Is it good?

I have the M7. I like it. Love the USB-C connection. (On mine, it only does 4k30 though through USB-C. with HDMI it can do 4k60)
Speakers are not the best, but the picture is good. The updated M8 is 50 nits brighter than mine, which is a welcome addition.

AirPlay won't do more than 1080p, sadly. I had that hope too, initially. just use USB-C now. Love the data/power through option in one cable.

Waiting to see what the 27" Viewfinity S9 gets discounted to.

Look at this as a general guide for Samsung sale prices: about 30% off.

Viewfinity S9 $1599 minus 30% = approx. $1119. My guesses at:

• Extra aggressive deal $999,
• Not quite so aggressive for a "latest/greatest" $1199.

Now when? My guess: Black Friday may be too soon... but maybe. Right after New Years?

Despise? Thats a bit strong isnt it?
