SAMSUNG 32-Inch M5 (M50D) Series FHD Smart Monitor with Streaming TV, Speakers, HDR10, Gaming Hub, Multiple Ports, Workout Tracker, Vision Accessibility Tools, LS32DM500ENXGO, 2024

The monitor is great. I have this one wall mounted opposite an exercise bike in a spare bedroom and I can use the wifi in the house to get a good signal for watching cable TV using an app on the TV or Netflix as I have a subscription. I also can watch Disney + on it if I choose. It takes a little time to set up and make sure it returns to the previous station when started. The apps can take time to load, but there are buttons on the remote for certain streaming services like Netflix. I signed in once when I set up the monitor, and on start up now I need only press the Netflix button on the remote and can quickly bring up programs to watch from my list.I have 2 Samsung smart monitors. The other I use in kitchen on the countertop.AVOID using the Samsung channel as it is a pain to get rid of again. The remote doesn't have any numbers to put a specific channel in. So I have to use the guide for the app, as I have Charter Sprectrum for my cable provider. The Charter App takes some time to load on the monitor as it checks the subscription each time. A pain. I like streaming programs from my cable channels or from Netflix.The remote volume control is also the mute button. Pushing it straight down mutes the sound. Toggling it up or down changes the volume level.

5-5 easy setup and it can be arm / wall mounted. Comes with 2 usb and hdmi ports (hdmi cable included). The remote could have used a fast forward / pause / stop rewind buttons but it's not the end of the world.Pro tip, external lights / xbox plugged into the display automatically turn on with the screen. (for the lights its a nice touch).I'm using it as an extended display with my 2019 mac air - so the image quality isn't the best. HOWEVER, the native apps (Crunchyroll / Netflix) look perfect for someone who's not drilling down into image quality. I almost forgot, but this thing gets LOUD - you can set up a dedicated soundbar / speakers for a more immersive sound quality but it's not a deal breaker.

I bought a used unit but the prior user took great care and repacked it well. They did forget to factory reset the monitor but it was an easy fix. I know it’s a generation behind but still works well. It takes a few seconds to start an app I don’t mind it. I think it has chromecast and airplay support. Hard drive space is only 2gb but the apps are optimized for tizen OS so they take about 10-15mb . I should’ve waited for the 4k variant but this is good enough.

Put this on a stand as sort of a portable tv station. I like the matte finish, the white perimeter, and the remote is acceptable (though feels a bit cheap). The quality of the image is not great (I’m not a tv/monitor expert). But for our use it’s acceptable and we like the setup.

still in it's box. have not had time to install it yet in my RV

Bought this as a monitor for work and its amazing for it's price point. I love that I can use it for both work and entertainment. Has a built in speaker too which I love for meetings. No mic of course, but I installed a camera with one. Set up took 10 minutes and connects seamlessly with my Samsung products.

Useless for photo slideshows. Bought this strictly to use as a photo display after hearing how high quality the screen is. Got all set up, and was shocked to see that many of my photos were post-card sized on the display. Tried for hours to figure out how to get it into "Fit-to-Screen" mode, but learned that option isn't available for anything on a USB drive. I'm not about to go through thousands of photos and change the resolution just to get this thing display them correctly. My older POS Vizio could do this, but a Samsung "Smart" TV can't? Very disappointed.

Works really well as a television and computer monitor just a little bit overpriced.
