Samsung LS27CM501EUXXU 27" Full HD Smart Monitor with speakers Smart Hub for TV streaming and catch up apps, White

I was in two minds whether to buy this monitor. It has completely exceeded my expectations. It appears this is an updated (2022) version of the black M7 monitor that was released last year to fairly good reviews.Having used a entry level LG 27inch 4k monitor with a Firestick for work/movies, I wanted something a bit bigger to also use as a TV.For WorkGreat for work as this has 2 levels of eye-care mode which really does combat screen fatigue. It also has an automatic picture adjustment mode which is very impressive. I can wirelessly contact my Macbook and PC to use this as a second screen. I also connect my Mac via HDMI. The monitor has 2 HDMI ports and a host of USB ports for charging devices.For LeisureStunning. It's a VA panel with loads of picture adjustment. Also has the new 'Film Maker Mode' for movies. Have tinkered the settings to my personal choice but out of the box it all looks great. 4K movies in Netflix, Prime etc are stunning with lovely colours. Only minor negative is the viewing angles are not great. This is a disadvantage of using a VA panel although colours are better than IPS panel.I have had no problems connecting with my budget Bluetooth earbuds and more expensive headphones for movies and music. I can wireless connect my phone to the monitor to view files/images/movies etc.Gaming is great. Have connected to PS5 and works very well but its only limited to 60hz so maybe not ideal for hardcore gamersConclusionBrilliant, have not touched on all the features but this monitor is much better than expected. Excellent for work and TV. Was purchased on Amazon for a bargain price but would not feel undone paying the full amount.

Great quality, sleek design, no performance issues: had my previous one for over an year with none. Adore the white colour and its a brilliant decent size screen 27 inches is more thsn enough for a computer monitor. Excellent picture and detailed settings to customise your viewing preferences.

It is very nice product just what I was looking for

good quality, easy to assemble, good picture, comes with batteries for the remote control, easy to download apps, good picture and adjustable features e.g picture, brightness, sound and more

Easy to set up and looks a reasonable picture to me.

Dreadful device.Narrow field of view.If you want to play videos from an external device, it won’t play .avi files. Every device I have can play these files, but Samsung doesn’t support the format on any of their televisions.Very temperamental. External Bluetooth speakers frequently don’t connect.Manual is atrocious. It explains very little.Some functions are greyed out and are simply not available.Very clunky OS. Why click one button when Samsung make you click three.It is a data mining behemoth. It sends data about you to lots of companies. You can accept this by clicking one button. If you don’t agree you have to manually go through every listed company and individually click that you don’t agree. This is absolutely shocking business behaviour and very consumer unfriendly.I do not recommend this device. It is overpriced and performs very badly.

I wanted a screen for my MacBook Air and this seemed like a good upgrade option from what I had.Unfortunately the picture quality is not great, it’s not bad but for the money I expected better.The speakers are really bad, I end up playing music through my Mac as it’s significantly better.The usb c connection is a waste of time other than for charging because of the crazy lag through airplay makes the trackpad too unresponsive. I ended up using the hdmi instead.Overall it’s an ok smart monitor but if you want to be impressed, I’d choose something else.

Needed a white computer monitor so that narrowed the field - but that probably made choosing a new monitor a bit easier. This works perfectly for our set up - a mini Mac on one hdmi feed and a pc on the second hdmi feed (you can connect via wi-fi if preferred). The added bonus is the inclusion of all the main entertainment apps so when the spreadsheets get too much it's a flick of the button (on the neat controller) and Netflix / Amazon Prime / BBC iPlayer etc etc are available. Picture quality is excellent and the sound is decent. My only moan is no headphone out socket - but then perhaps I'm old school... Set up out of the box is straight forward and took about 10 minutes (longer if you don't have a Samsung user account as you will need to set one up).
