So today I will go of unboxing of the Samsung M7 monitor, which is some kind of smart monitor, at least that's what they're calling it
0:17
So I just grab this beefy boy. Let's try not to break anything in here
0:26
You can see that space is quite small here. Obviously it's not very compact in terms of the first camera, so that's why I got a second one set up right here, so it can actually capture the full girth of this thing
0:40
So this is a 32-inch monitor. Just pop it open quickly. Let's get in here
0:50
Now, even though this is technically a monitor, it comes with a remote control, which you should be able to see in a second and here
0:58
So, now we're going to put that to the side for now
1:02
I'm going to try to get this out somehow. Put a little sticker
1:08
I've got a base amount right here. What am I saying? A foot
1:14
And that is actually a solid block of metal. You can actually hear it
1:20
It's quite hefty. Set it to the side. And then right here
1:26
it looks like it's the rest of the... I'm going to set it up to the side
1:32
Let's get this out. Then obviously we get the monitor, which I think that's probably the end of it
1:48
There we go. I'm gonna set it up on my lap and try to get the box out of the way
2:07
Just eat that behind me. Literally, let's go. And let's place that down
2:23
Looks like I kind of have to... Get it out through here
2:30
Before I actually go into this, I'm going to move it to the side a little bit and set up the actual stand so I can wrap it up on something
2:43
So we got two screws which I am completely not prepared for
2:48
And we got the solid black of metal of the stand. Now, I would have quite couple literally the trashest little feet on here, rubber ones
3:07
so at least you don't scratch your desk when you place it down
3:11
Here we go. So this would normally screw end here. There is already a screw if you can..
3:22
Whoa, try not to drop it on the monitor. You can see it right here, there is a screw already
3:31
And let's get that to the side. And let's try to... maybe screw it in with this. Let's see
3:42
Hopefully this will work. Good enough, at least it's holding. Let's get rid of these screws right here
3:55
And I guess I'm gonna take it out from here. It looks like I am holding it
4:01
This is probably the top side. So right here, the top of it, so this is the bottom
4:08
Let's try to somehow get it out. Oh, I can actually... There we go. RUSB
4:20
Let see there a clip in here that would be amazing
4:35
Nope, it does not. But I think I can just set it... Whoa
4:43
Okay, so the stem does bend a little bit. Probably doesn't help that it's not screwed in all the way, so you know what
4:50
I'm gonna go grab a screwdriver and actually fix it up, so... so just pose it
4:58
Okay, so finally being actually set up. I needed to go grab an actual screwdriver to pop it in
5:05
As you can see now it's, hopefully you can actually see it. It's not sucking as much, although it does have a little bit of a tilt like towards me
5:12
So that's not the best. So now let's just pop in some batteries and turn it on
5:19
Now because this is what they call smart monitor, We actually have the ability to connect to something like Samsung's decks
5:28
Now I do have one, a tablet right here, which I'll test it out with, so we'll see how that goes
5:34
It's supposed to connect to it wirelessly, unlike what you probably are used to
5:40
I'm going to pop in some batteries. I'll turn it on
6:00
I did plug it in. I'll also mention that the monitor does come with a, I guess, power supply built into it, so you don't actually have a cable with a brick
6:11
you just have a single cable without any kind of additional parts to it, like as an example, normal LED monitors do
6:23
Quick setup. So... Hello? Oh
6:36
So this is probably going to be a little bit boring. I have to connect to it
6:43
I'm probably nice to... Terms and conditions, that's nice
7:00
Why is it in Polish? I did select English. Or less connection
7:12
Taking successful, cool, it's telling English, terms and conditions
7:26
And now it's in Polish. Great. connect to these whatever uh sign into your Samsung account i don't know if i actually
7:41
needs to uh to enjoy smart services sign into your existing smart Samsung account to create a new one so yeah it actually looks like i don't need to
7:50
sign in which is a little bit of a shame and for now skip it i'm actually try to do it without
7:55
it but i guess we'll see how it turns out have a discreet
8:00
whatever Amazon Prime. So this actually reminds me a lot of more like a smart TV instead of a monitor, which
8:09
in itself is kind of, I guess, decent. Select it done, I guess. Are you sure yes
8:16
Ah, to talk about it. Okay. against. Okay. We got our little tablet right here. Let's see that will work
8:35
Alright, I need to first turn it on. Although it says phone, not a tablet, so that might be a little bit of a problem. I'll see that in a second
8:53
Yeah muted it actually a little bit
9:03
That doesn't seem to do anything. Oh, I think I just opened something of myself
9:28
Let's try that again. Come on. Come on. Where am I supposed to slap it
9:39
Well, that's some dichlimactic. Okay, so I'm just gonna proceed further. Get started
9:47
Let's see. We're gonna go with something. decks and from here let's see we should have decks on here so quickly look at this
10:11
there is it there go
10:23
I hope that's a screenshot
10:37
Well this moment is a little bit problematic. I'll try to figure it out and come back once I actually have because this is getting a little bit annoying
11:00
Actually maybe not actually let me do a different thing. So just actually touch up on the monitor itself
11:08
So number one, it's a 32 inch 4K display. So that's some of the obvious ones now
11:15
It does have an 8 milliseconds response time so it's not necessarily the fastest
11:20
It's most likely not going to be the best one for gaming. for gaming. Additional things that I will mention that might not make it a greatest monitor for
11:29
gaming and probably better for like just overall multitasking or just ease of access. It does not
11:37
have any kind of movement to either like any oriented any any way, swivel, tilt, pivot
11:45
nothing like that. It's just a still frame that you cannot adjust in any kind of way and move it
11:50
up and down that's also not a thing as you can see. Obviously the stand had no
11:54
adjustability whatsoever to it which is actually a shame considering other than
12:00
that the monitor is fairly good. Now if you're planning to as an example mount it to
12:04
something like a monitor or not monitor but monitor arm and then that's
12:09
probably going to be a little bit better. I think of something
12:20
There you go. So yeah, mounted to a monitor arm should work just fine
12:28
Obviously, you can then adjust the height and stuff like that as I can do with my monitor
12:33
in the back, as you can see, quite easy. The actual weight of it is nothing really to scoff about
12:40
It's not the lightest monitors, you might need to get a little bit more robust arm for this
12:45
But I don't know that, it seems to be a fairly decent monitor in itself
12:50
4k with the smart connectivity and some apps built into it you do obviously get the remote
12:55
control. Now with some functions you get Netflix and video or prime video on here as
13:02
well as a button. I'm kind of see it right here. We have also web browser apparently
13:08
We don't see that. Oh damn that's actually quite interesting. Now I'm going to move the mouse
13:20
Okay so I just kind of use the arrows to move it up and down Okay So yeah now one thing that I mention the monitor comes around what is it 300 US dollars something along those lines So it not the cheapest
13:35
one and honestly if you don't need the smart part of it, then it's nothing really great. If you
13:45
will be utilizing the actual smart connectivity to it then that is fantastic. But other than
13:49
that I wouldn't say it's worth the money. Obviously for the people that will use
13:53
utilize it specifically for the smart connectivity so you can use it with Samsung Dex obviously you will need Samsung device for it and I'm not exactly sure
14:01
yet if it's just strictly a phone or can you use something like a tablet like I
14:05
have right here but obviously it's not limited to just Samsung devices though
14:09
you will need to have an actual cable so let me just kind of get it you can
14:14
connect any kind of device that actually has a this kind of desktop mode
14:19
Samsung and Huawei's are some of those so you could it like this. Obviously this should work just fine instantly. Let's see. Back out to home
14:30
See sources. I'm trying to still figure out of how this work. So bear with me
14:48
So bear with me. There's also a chance that the cable that I grab might not actually support it, but actually there it is
15:01
So, USBC, let's see what we get here. So it is right now running through USBC
15:12
No, it's not really showing anything. It is turned on
15:29
So yeah, at the moment, it doesn't really want to cooperate with this in any kind of way, which is a little bit frustrating
15:42
This is a Samsung device and as you can see throughout the video, I've been having problems all around to actually connect it
15:49
It's literally connected to a Type C. it detects it but doesn't want to I think work with it cooperate so that's getting a
15:57
little bit frustrating at the moment now for this there is a chance that this is just
16:02
a fault of the actual USB type C cable this is the one that Samsung adds with their
16:07
phones with like S20 and S21 this is a charging cable that you get it's a type C to
16:14
type C obviously but it doesn't want to work here why I have no clue the other
16:21
actual monitor can see it but it doesn't really want to work with it so that's fantastic
16:26
Yeah, if you are not using it. So that's a little bit better
16:35
At the moment I'm kind of disappointed with this, to be fairly honest, because as you can see
16:40
it's not necessarily working to the fullest. So yeah. But anyway, like I mentioned before, the monitor should be assuming I guess you're using
16:51
using the supported phone instead of a tablet. It should be working just fine
16:55
That's kind of the purpose of it and its whole entire gimmick. So if you're not planning to use it with their smart feature for wireless connectivity
17:04
as you would normally, or you can just kind of, I don't know, walk into your office, drop your phone and automatically get a visual on your monitor
17:10
And it is useless. There is better alternative for a better price
17:15
If you're planning to utilize it, there is only, I think, like one other brand that does it
17:19
which is a Huawei I think with their smart monitors as well for their
17:26
Huawei devices so yeah you either go with Samsung or Huawei for this kind of
17:32
tech there's not much other competition there that I can think about right now from
17:37
the top of my head so anyway that being said this would I guess conclude the overview of
17:41
this device and if you found this very helpful don't forget to hit like subscribe and
