Samsung Smart Monitor offers smart TV features, Bixby control, and wireless DeX support

Samsung has been busy this year with the release of several new smartphones. Now, the company is getting busy by expanding its portfolio to a lineup of smart monitors, which feature Tizen OS, Bixby control and wireless DeX support.

The Korean company on Monday unveiled the Smart Monitor, which comes in two models, including a 32-inch M7 model that offers 4K support for $400. There’s also a 27-inch and 32-inch M5 model that features support for Full HD resolution. They’re available for $230 and $280, respectively.

Samsung’s Smart Monitor stands apart by offering a slew of smart features and convenient connectivity options. For smartphone owners, users can wirelessly connect to the monitors via Samsung DeX. The monitors also support App Casting and AirPlay 2, so Apple owners aren’t left out of the cold.

Because the monitors support Tizen OS, they can connect to Wi-Fi and therefore stream HDR10 content from services such as Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, YouTube, and more. If this is part of your work from home setup, you won’t need to connect an additional set-top box to stream content. Users can also access other apps thanks to the inclusion of Tizen OS, including Office 365.

In addition to 4K support, the M7 Smart Monitor includes a USB-C port that allows for data, display and power (up to 65W), so you can easily connect a laptop. There are also two HDMI 2.0 ports and three USB-A 2.0 ports. The M5 Smart Monitor doesn’t have a USB-C port, although it has two HDMI 2.0 ports and two USB-A 2.0 ports.

Samsung said the Smart Monitor also features Adaptive Picture, which “optimizes picture quality for any viewing environment by automatically adjusting brightness and color temperature in response to room conditions.” Not only will users get a superior viewing experience, but Adaptive Picture should also cut back on eye strain, Samsung said.

Samsung Smart Monitor will be available beginning November 16 in the U.S., Canada and China. Samsung said the Smart Monitor will launch in more markets later this year.
