You gave a really comprehensive overview, thank you, please consider reducing the volume of the background music, your words are much more important than the music
the excel to help understand the size is SUCH a good aspect to include in the review. Thank you! Great stuff
I am considering changing from 32” M7 to a 43” M7, this video helps me to reach a verdict. BTW, having an external power brick is a plus, Samsung is notorious for constant failing the power supply. I had a Samsung 34” curved monitor with failed power supply, I just bought one on line and I am good to go without sending to shop for expensive repair, my warranty went out BTW.
Personally I would prefer clean wiring, hence having the power supply built in makes sense for me, great that this video helped you.
@@klgadgettv I simply use 3M double-sided tape and stuck the power brick to underneath the desk, the rest of cable management is easy. Samsung charged me five times for what I paid for the power supply, having an external power supply helps especially for non-tech guy like myself but still wants to save a few bucks on repair.
I would also be considering switching from the 32 m7 to this 43, however, I did notice a brightness issue on the 32 where there is a pretty low max brightness setting. It wasn’t really bad but if it got a little brighter the experience would have been a lot better. If you have switched over, how would you say the difference in brightness is? I hope the 43 inch doesn’t have the same issue.
@@klgadgettv agreed. Power bricks make cable management needlessly sub-optimal, particularly when trying to achieve a minimalist desk / workspace. Samsung DeX enables ease-of-use for Samsung smartphones (Apple AirPlay 2 for Apple smartphones) with the Samsung M7 and M8 both wired and wireless modes.
I bought the monitor after this review on the Samsung India website. Thanks a lot.
Buddy I am also planning to upgrade my setup. Mostly I work on drafting documents on MS words and reviewing multiple documents. So can you please tell me for the font size and text clarity. Also, I do casual gamings on the weekend, so is it good.??
Thanks a ton for this review man.
Everyone else review the sponsored 32" version so it's really great I found your video.
Yay!
I was wondering why everyone was reviewing that 1 instead of this. I think i will sell my current 4k and get this
Yeah. Same. All the other reviews are quite biased. This one is very honest about the experience.
great review. Does it support freesync? How is with gaming?
To fix the dock being too small just right click (double finger click on touchpad) on the dock between two icons and then choose dock preferences. There you can choose to magnify what you are hovering over or change the size of the entire dock all together.
Thank you
hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
@@radhekrishna2477 You can use the monitor exactly how you use the regular computer screen. Any size will work. 32", 43" make no difference. I would just make sure it's a 4K monitor. If gaming I would also try to get a 120Hz refresh rate monitor. If it's not in your budget a standard 60Hz is fine also. Any standard monitor with an HDMI input should work.
@@xplmr1 oh thanks bro, but is it good to consider 43 if 32 is have price
@@xplmr1 and @MrMartellSincere oh thanks , can u confirm Please, if i able to open the site.. web surfing .
Interesting information, thank you for sharing.
Question, why are you playing background music? It is beyond me why UA-cam content creators think it necessary and cool playing music over their voice. We came to hear you, instead we are fighting the drone of annoying music. Many folks have hearing difficulties, thus your music over your voice quickly becomes extremely intrusive.
good video...if you want to change the size of your layout you can do that on your display settings and resolution. It will make the font and images bigger or smaller.

I just bought the Samsung 43" M70B 4K smart TV and got it on sale (new) for $314 to use as a monitor for my Alienware tower.... I feel so guilty.... LOL, not! I will come back and comment with an update if the thing knocks my socks off. I write books and do static graphics for my book series webpage and really need the expanded desktop. More to come...... ADDENDUM: The thing kicks @$$ as my primary monitor. My old 32" in 1440p is now turned portrait to the right side of the thing and I have doubled my desktop to the exact pixel count! The thing I don't like is that it does not have the "displayport" option but the Dell 4k 43" monitor does. Yea, I'm already planning ahead.... From Amazon on Black Friday it will be a bargain you can't pass up!
How is it?
How's the M7 43" going for you?
Is this monitor also a Television?
What’s your thoughts on using this as a monitor for M1 MacBook, I will be working mostly on Final Cut Pro and Logic ProX, did you face any lag ?
No lags so far
Does it have auto switch off feature, where you set after how many minutes should it turn off?
Thanks for the review! Does this monitor come with KVM switch?
No it doesn't :(
Thanks for the fast reply!
I use an MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3 mouse setup with my 2 laptops, I can switch back and forth between the 2, on this monitor, in seconds.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've got a question and I didn't find an answer in the internet. Does this Samsung M7 have motion smoothing (soap opera effect) feature?
Can I use a USB C to USB C charger cable? to connect to my macbook air m1 ?
,hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
Can it be used as a gaming monitor for consoles?
I am in trouble with macbook air m1. Not displaying with macbook charge cable. Is there who solve this issue. I am open to your help. Buying a new cable or changing options etc
I came across this model online while looking for a tv. Since i only used regular tv's for gaming with my playstation. This has a great price range but i'm wondering how this screen would be for gaming at a distance of 2 meter ( 6 ft ). I will mainly use it for gaming and streaming movies.
How can you reference your ultrawide monitor and not even cover this monitor's 21:9 ultrawide mode?
My last monitor was an old LG 34UM65-P 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide Full HD 1080p IPS Monitor and this 43" M7 is awesome in comparison if that helps.
Nice video, what cable you use to connect the macbook to the monitor? and does it support 4K60?
It's a USB C to USB C, yes it supports 4K60
I have one of these on order. Excellent review !!
Any buyers remorse so far?
nice2
is it good for using with Series S
Great review! Really informative and not just a feature rundown. I just tried using my 4k 43" TV to see how the size would suit. The TV made it feel like the screen was curving slightly away from the middle (opposite to a curved monitor). Did you notice this with the M7? I hope not as I'm really thinking of getting the 43" M7. Thanks.
Just gonna click buy now on amazon i am going for it is there any chance it will get outdated??
@@indianking0017 so did you buy it?
@@mentos93 yeh i have it😉 so long working like a charm😊
@@indianking0017 is it good for streaming movies and gaming for playstation? I was looking for tv's and came across this monitor. Normally i always used tv's for gaming but i wonder if its still good for at a distance like a tv. I'm sitting around 2 meter (6 ft) from it.
twice mentioned bezels
zero mentioning technical aspects: refresh rate, color coverage, display technology etc
useless review
Is this also a Television?
Thanks for your sharing.. I just broken my 43 inch LG IPS monitor, and now considering to buy this. One concern is the flickering. I am a programmer who always scroll on dark background with white text. Does anyone have scrolling issue on editor liked this?
Hey, did you end up buying it? How was the scroll on dark background thing? I'm a programmer also and considering this monitor.
how's the brightness?
can it be Picture by Picture?
Does it have pbp?
Max power consumptions??
Hi! Is this Google Chrome compatible? Thanks! :)
Great Video!
thank you
Hi Sir,
How is the gaming experience on ultra wide mode. ?
Colour reproduction and brightness are good ? And viewing angles ?
Im planning to buy for offline work and watching 4k movies and games also.
Anyone knows which monitor arm would be compatible with this monitor? It has a 200x200mm VESA mount.
I used a Husky brand adaptor 100x100 to 200x200 (plate steel). I used my old Ergotron LX (not HX) and just cranked up the tension and it works very well!
Hi Mark--thanks for the review! But, does your monitor get VERY HOT?? My monitor gets very HOT--not sure how to fix this? It's my 2nd monitor =( Not sure how to fix this.
Very hot as if it affects your viewing experience?
@@klgadgettv unfortunately yes. I’ve purchase two so far and am sending them BOTH back. Not sure what’s going on-currently searching for an alternative. Unfortunate, it was a good screen 🤷🏻♀️
I just measured the temp on mine with an infrared thermometer gun and it's 109F at the bottom and 91F at the top. (Ambient room temp is currently 80F though). This seems very "normal" to me with max brightness on the "Game" setting (and it's been turned on for 3 hours). I've had my M7 43" for 2 months.
For a silly comparison my 12 year old 60" LG Plasma TV is 106F in the same 80F room (also on for 3 hours)
how do you mount this on a desk mount? the back part is wider than the square peg standard
I believe I read 100mm wesa
Husky 100x100 adaptor is awesome. Flat steel plate. Makes the monitor nice and rigid too. You may want to modify or bolt down a desk mount (I did, but I'm just paranoid😵💫)
can you run 4 different hdmi sources at the same time with 4 way split screen like the LG UHD Multi-tasking Monitor
No you can't
@@klgadgettv that's an almost criminal oversight. Why?
Can you test it with a real laptop ?
how did you connect to your mac?
Through a USB-C to HDMI cable
Or a USB-C to C
@@klgadgettv thats smart. My usb c to usb c does not work
I'm temporarily running an upgraded 2009 mid-year MBP with the 43" M7 and it's actually working far better than expected. They are connected with a Belkin "Mini Display Port to HDMI"
I have it mounted to an Ergotron LX arm(not HX) with a Husky 100x100 adaptor plate. The LX works just fine after you crank up the tension on the LX arm.
Is it loud enough to watch it in a living room?
Nope, its best to pair it with a soundbar since it supports ARC.
Does this have hdr 10?
Yes
Black smearing?
I'm a software developer and I'm planning to replace my 2x VIEWSONIC 32" VX3276-2K-MHD dual monitor setup. I spent so much time with my computer and my question is this, is this monitor good for me?
Why don't you try an ultrawide monitor?
I’m a dev as well, currently on two 27 4k dual setup. I recently tried a 32in 4k and learned that the vertical screen real estate helps a lot having multiple windows open. Also the ultrawide that aren’t extremely expensive only comes with 1440p. It’d be like going from 2 27 4k to 2 1440p monitors, not worth it to go ultrawide imo. This 43in might be better.
@@klgadgettv Thanks for your answer.
@@nhsplayer07 I recently stopped using the dual monitor setup, I'm using one 32" 2K setup and I can't see a problem. It's been more than 3 months, I had some health issues with my eyes and bigger TV-like monitors aren't designed for sitting in front of them, not good for eyes... I might go for a wider screen or the same size but with higher res. In the end, I prefer using a single monitor setup instead of a dual monitor setup. I don't face these issues with a single monitor setup: no bezels, and the same panel quality, and not configuring both screens. It is better for me. Even though, Samsung Arc is very sexy...
Is it available in Indonesia???
is 60hz enough for watching fast-paced movies?
Fast paced movies are only shot at 24 FPS, so yeah it's more than sufficient
@@klgadgettv Thanks. what about the 250 NITS brightness? Was a screen hat dim still usable?
im gonna get a 42 or 43 inch monirtor soon, my 32 will be relocate somewhere useful, 27 is for children
Just brought this monitor from Samsung for $326 after tax.
This is a TV
Pixel density on such monitor is unacceptable... I would rather buy two 32" M7 for the same price...
lol...u must be born in 2065... It's fine.. Better than 1080 P ..>!! perfect monitor.,,, Any movie theater at a 50ft screen does not exceed 4K...what are u smoking....
@@levondarratt787 I didn't understand a word from what you've wrote... You must be smoking something stronger than me.
@@robnation2475 Pixel density (PPI) depends not only from resolution but also from the screen area. In this case 4K on 43 inch PPI is very low. 4K 32” monitor has 137 pixels per inch, 27” 2560x1440 has 109 PPI and 27” Retina has 217 PPI. This one has 102, so, yes, it is low.
I just want a 40 inch monitor w/o the gimmics.
Hi just check with you : this is the model number yes? Ls43am702uexxs
Yes it is
@@klgadgettv awesome!
Also, thanks for the fast reply 🤩

Hi, great in depth review. Thank you.
1 question please. The HDMI cable length is not enough for me from my pc. Could you tell me should I buy hdmi 2.1 cable or hdmi 2.0? And is it USB 3 or 3.1 Sir?
I just purchased this monitor, based quite a lot on this review. My biggest concern was font clarity but happily this isn't a problem. I am coming from an excellent LG 4K 32UN880 ergo. It just didn't seem quite big enough. The 43" M7 fits the bill nicely. The LG display was slightly better but I am very happy with the 43" display and as a bonus I can now watch movies and streaming video in a much larger format. I have no problem running the monitor in 4k 60hz resolution. I am using a 2021 16" MBP via USB C and connection/recognition was straight forward. My only complaint and this seems to be a common problem, is that quite frequently there is a pop up message asking to allow or deny a device connection request. From my research on the internet, there doesn't see to be an adequate solution for this problem. My keyboard and mouse easily connected via bluetooth as well. The hub connections work ok as well. Only 2 of the 3 USB A type can be used however. The USB connection marked service will read a memory stick or hard drive but neither my webcam nor scanner would work with this port. They do work fine with the other ports. Thanks again for your review.
Are you saying that the webcam works when connected to the display with your MBP or with the display somehow?
@@TheFixerOfAll Yes I have my Logi webcam and my Epson ES50 scanner plugged into the M7. Both work fine. Its only the top USB A port that doesnt work with peripherals. Its the service port or some such thing? It will recognize a USB thumb drive though. My MBP is connected by TB USB C cable to the monitor.
How is the brightness when you are using it for streaming? Is it as big issue as people are saying on the web?
@@London42 I use the monitor for a lot of streaming, no problems at all. Its not going to blind you with brightness but I have never had an instance where the screen was too dim. Im more than happy with it. I came from using 2 LG 32 UN88o monitors and it is, for all intents and purposes, just as good for daily use. I use it all day for work and then watch a lot of streaming video at night. 4k res looks very nice. Of course not Oled quality but for me, very nice. I just cranked the brightness up all the way and leave it there. I have 2 laptops connected to it and switching between them is a breeze, another great feature.
@@brucesyvertsen2147 Thanks for such a detailed reply. I was planning on waiting for M8 32inch but the 43 inch is very very tempting. If there’s no issue with the less brightness then I don’t have any other qualms with this model and I might just zero in on it. Thanks a bunch, mate. :)
My 43" M7 seemed a little too "flexible" for me out of the box but I added a Husky 100x100 to 200x200 adaptor plate to mount mine to an Ergotron LX arm and it became much more rigid (feels like a "normal" monitor now). I used the round Husky spacers (included in their kit) and 2 layers of 3M double-stick mounting tape in a square and X pattern between the monitor and the plate adaptor. (The 3M tape I used is generally intended for automotive trim pieces)
BTW Lowe's (in-store) has a nice selection of specialty hardware for stuff/projects like this ...metric, stainless, phillips or allen-head, various lengths etc.
Hey, I am planning to buy the same monitor in this week. I would really like to hear your feedback, how you feeling about yours?
Nice video. Thanks for this. One question, are the fonts and pixels as good as normal 24 inch monitor? Or does it lack something? I want to use this for programming,which is mostly text stuff
Well it depends on how you set your scaling percentage
@@klgadgettv WHERE IS THE WEBCAM FEATURES? YOU DIDNT DO THE COMPLETE REVIEW. PLS ADVISE.
21.5" FHD = 4k 43". Both have same PPI but 43" 4k will be more sharp than 21.5 FHD because u must use 43" monitor from far. Example u need 1 mt for use 43" but u need 50-60cm for use a 21.5" monitor.
24" FHD is 92 PPI, 4k 43" is 103 PPI. Already 4k 43" sharper than 24" FHD monitor, if u calculate the distance it will be more sharper than u expected.
@@klgadgettv There's no scaling necessary with 43" 4K. That's the main benefit of "forty inchers".
Thank you for the information. I would like to organize all my windows (4 ou 6) automatically in 100% of the monitor screen, could you please explain us?. Thanks in advance.
ITS AN EXCEL MONSTER! I like!
Single handedly the best review for this product on YT😊
Thanks for showing the backside! 3:10 I'll be adapting the M7 43" (200 x 200 Vesa) to my Ergotron LX arm mount (100 x 100) with a Husky adaptor. I was happy to find out that the M7 43" monitor was just under 19 lbs (without the stand) so the Ergotron LX should handle this just fine.
A lot of things missed out in this review are the major features and the primary reason for buying this monitor over any other Wired 43 inch 4K monitors. Samsung Dex wirelessly, Airplay2, wireless display, keyboard, mouse and gamepad connectivity and display mirroring (Google TV). You can also turn the monitor on via a mobile device on the same network and control the setting via Samsung Smartthings on Apple and Samsung devices.
With all due respect you reviewed this primarily as a monitor and its much more than just a monitor, So yes it does make sense.
is it possible connect separate mouse mouse and keyboard on tv for control extend screen?
A few years ago we would've thought these bezels were small. Now we complain about any bezel whatsoever.
Thanks for the review, had questions but immediately bought after this video. Will try when I get back home.
Does it have a pip or pvp features?
There is an issue that when you connect your laptop by HDMI UA-cam videos ( except 4k 8k ) playing by lagging. I went to the store yesterday and checked with Samsung staff there. They told me have not realized before this issue. There has to be a setting / or settings which will sort out this delay. It is 60 hz and when i connect my Apple Cinema Display 30 inch it works great. So it made me thought. Even it has DVI connected monitor. On the other hand when you play UA-cam videos through monitor's own app then it works flawlessly. So same device and different outcomes ...
hi bro, what the type c cable that you are using? can you please share the product link.
mmm i like this monitor and I now want one in 43 inch...lol.....I will add external speakers KANTO TUK's with a matching subwoofer....should be perfect i think for my PC....will be NO GAMING but will be NETFLIX...WEB SURFING...SOCIAL MEDIA...UTUBE....AMAZON PRIME..DISNEY PLUS etc....what are your thoughts on this set up...thx ...cheers from Canada
Hi, Are you still using this? I have the same one but i have an issue, while watching amazon prime it turns on film maker mode and it's dark and annoying mode.I couldn't figure out how to turn it off? Have you tried?
are you getting any mac scaling issues ? are the texts crips ?
Nope it works fine
hii can u confirm that can i open site from monitor itself or not ,and how its running now..., i want to take it for study ,32 inch and 43 inch of same prize can 43 inch good ??
Thanks for the review. I just want one for my CCTV closet so anything at 4K, at least 40" and slim will do. Don't need any apps or anything.

Thanks for the nice review.
Given it’s a VA panel, can you comment on the viewing angle? Considering if I sit 30 inches from the 43” screen. Would I notice any brightness or color distortion at the edges?
Viewing angle and pc desktop clarity is very disappointing if you sit relatively close. Came home from work and my 18 year old daughter said that she would not use the pc if we had this screen as a monitor. Gave her a headache when used as an ordinary desktop monitor. Returned the monitor after 2 days and decided to go for a 32 inch 4k monitor instead. Monitor is probably just fine if you use it for more couch gaming/video watching.
Was OK in DCS World at 60 fps (have a powerful system). Still clarity outside the center was off/glassy.
@@Mightymoose02 Thanks for the report. Fortunately, I did not go for the M7. I ended up with triple Sony 4K TV setup. Working out very well. My application is flight sim as well.
Thank you for your explanation of having 43" will make reading text better because it will not be to smalll
can I use this monitor for forex trading?, is the processor capable of handling trading for at least 12 hours a day without lagging?
I would need to hear it in person, but to me the sound was great , I don't know why you felt disappointed.
hi is it possible to interface a speaker on this smart monitor, if yes how by means of what connection usb type c?
Extremely helpful review! Thank you
I purchased the 32", I just haven't set it up yet. What size is your desk?
It's 160cm long
@@klgadgettv Thank you for responding.
How are you liking the monitor?
@@klgadgettv I purchased the 43" Monday 😊
@Aravind Ashok Neither. I purchased an LG 34 UltraWide, and I absolutely LOVE it...
Its brightness is enough or good for this kind of display ?
Would a usb to aux converter work to connect external speakers to this monitor?
Why this disturbing background "music" ?
Hi there, thank you for the review! You got a subscriber :)
I have an open questions though:
have you tried to use an external speaker with it? Do you know if it's supported and which port would be used it? Maybe bluetooth?
It supports HDMI ARC devices or you can use Bluetooth
Remove the background music!
Would have liked to hear more about the va-panels image quality while watching movies/gaming.
You mostly talk about the size and not about as a comparison to other monitors in the same size.
Unfortunately we don't have other similar sized monitors to compare with.
This is great for a standing desk setup!
heres a fun fact: does it make sense for everyone? prolly not..
does it make sense for me specifically? yes
in my country there is a mandatory tax on tv-stations. this does not apply to monitors.
saving 320 euros a year by buying a monitor and using it as a tv...
Interesting!
why did i get a non solar white remote
Where can i purchase the 43, trying everywhere in the uk
Can I connect my Bluetooth speaker (JBL) to it?
I bought this tv blind. It’s pretty nice the only that bugs me is that the OS is laggy
When you're sitting in the centre don't the end looks faded... I got this montor but returned it due to looooooot of color washing
Well image quality has never been a priority on Samsung Smart Monitors.
Are there any issues with the VA panel for text (I've always had IPS monitors - never bought a VA before)? I also need to hook up an M1 MBA for software development.
I'm still using it daily and there hasn't been any issues
funny looking boy
Great review 🔥
LALISA ❤️
Excellent review.
One question: A lot of customer reviews that I've read for the monitor complain that the monitor is too dim, even at its peak brightness. Did you find this to be an issue?
Thanks
Turn off eco mode
Did you try connecting a soundbar? If so, what are your thoughts?
How is this for text clarity, for coding or reading purpose/office work.
It is excellent!
Definitely buying this all in one Solution.
Does this support other apps like FUBO tv?
