Samsung Smart Monitor M7 32-Inch Design: Typical Samsung Style

Most Samsung products offer a great build and design, and this one is no different. It comes with a stand along with a VESA mount, which allows the user to wall-mount it.

The stand-in itself is made entirely out of metal, and it is also a great place to keep your stuff like a wallet or even a smartphone. If Samsung would have included a wireless charger on that base, it would have taken this laptop to the next level.

Do note that, you can actually charge a laptop or a smartphone with up to 65W using the USB Type-C port on the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 32-Inch. This allows users to charge a laptop without requiring an external adapter. There is a USB hub, which can be used for attaching the accessories directly with the monitor.

In fact, with the right Samsung smartphone, this monitor becomes a full-fledged computer in no time.

You can connect a laptop via the USB Type-C or HDMI port to the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 32-Inch. Similarly, you can also connect a Windows laptop wirelessly using remote access technology.

Due to the limited time that I had with the device, I wasn't able to test these features fully. However, I was able to confirm that all these features work seamlessly on the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 32-Inch without any issue.

The product also comes with a feature called Auto Source Switch +, which automatically switches the signal to the newly connected device. This eliminates the fiddling around with the menu option to choose the correct display input. Say you have connected a PC using the HDMI port, as soon as you connect a laptop using the USB Type-C port, the monitor automatically switches to the laptop.
