wait what you have to hit it yes
oh my god it worked normally when we make a video about a
monitor we are laser focused on the specs how many knits how many hertz how
many pixels and the features are like oh yeah well it's got that that's great as
long as i'm like focused on my game here
today is the opposite day samsung sponsored this video and we're
gonna be looking at this look at this
that's that's microsoft office but
there's no computer plugged into it and it's not an all-in-one this is just a
monitor and like the remote has a netflix button
what are you let's find out
the thing is this is a sponsored video but this is a product that i have been
asking for for so long that i couldn't
jump on it fast enough or rather not that i'm asking for this
product but asking why not this product monitors have been
getting bigger and bigger and bigger to the point where the only difference
between a big monitor and a small tv is
that the monitor won't have that coaxial jack and it won't have smart tv features
and all the like picture quality adjustments and stuff well this
this finally addresses it watch this
whoa
so it's like a tiny little smart tv it can sit on your desk
it's adorable that's pretty responsive so we've got just a regular old mx
master 2s and a gaming keyboard of all things
and wow that's a that's a giant mouse
pointer kind of makes sense because like they might expect you to be kind of sitting
on your bed like i could imagine this in a in a dorm room for example where
you've only got room for one display and really it needs to be a computer monitor
but hey you might want to watch netflix once in a while and then this is it i'm
using their remote access feature to use office 365. the crazy thing here is that
what remote access sounds like is i'm remoting into a pc but that's not it we
are actually just running word
on the monitor like we are going to remote into a remote pc
all right let's give it a shot
pretty sweet this is quite a bit more responsive because we're using the
remote processing power of the computer and all that's happening is we are
streaming the image back to our monitor so hello this is working just fine fine
just fine that's freaking cool now this is not a
connection that you would game on or anything like that like it's
it's just not yeah you see that it's just not really designed for that but if you just needed to get some work done
real quick absolutely can do it this is so kind of
trippy like it feels wrong what we're doing right now what else can it do
here's another fun one if you have a supported samsung phone with the smartthings app and tap view enabled you
basically just take it and go like this wait what you have to
hit it
oh my god it worked
check the mobile screen start casting
that is the trippiest thing what was why
would they require that freaking fantastic so like
like what got some secret shopper up in here wow
look at that what's with these Linus tech tips guys and the baked in black
bars we should watch a good channel like ShortCircuit so what if i click like
escape does it oh my god i'm like using my phone
that is like that's nutty you just like swack it the caveman school of like user
experience just to clarify guys this is not dex this is just
casting from your mobile device to your display like you would do with your
smart tv it's just that you
you just like you you whack it to get it working it's
like ah why isn't this working ah
everyone who thinks that way samsung they got you covered of course as much
as samsung would like everyone to have a samsung phone they know that not everyone does and they've built in
support for airplay so let's go ahead and swipe down oh man you gotta get to
the corner screen mirroring and boop
look at that oh wow it's actually more responsive too
i don't make i don't make the experience here i'm just having the experience
look at that that's actually really smooth
and it got the aspect ratio totally right
that's pretty cool is rtx 3000 mobile any good
short answer yes long answer it is
way more complicated than that i mean obviously if i was doing any serious
movie watching like i would get a little sound bar for it or something like that
but it's pretty functional it's like samsung knew
with the two five watt speakers that you probably weren't necessarily going to be
sitting like right in front of it they get pretty loud now let's take over with
this macbook air and boom
just like that oh that's sweet so hold on a second okay
cool i can use a separate display as well now this
we've actually gotten into something that like i could see someone using every single
day you get back to your desk or you get back to your dorm room whatever you sit
down with your macbook you get bloop bloop and
that's it extended display i mean it's over wi-fi right guys so you
know motion is not going to be the most fluid
but if you're just going to have a document up there and refer back to it while you you know type away at your
laptop it's freaking awesome i mean yeah one cable solution it's great
zero cable solution man yeah i could see myself using that
every day on a pc the process is a little less seamless so you do actually
have to go into pc screen sharing wireless mode these are the kinds of
features that like right now it's like weird
but like what three years from now five years from now you'll just be like what
your monitor doesn't have that let's do the cable because honestly my
laptop battery is dead anyway so
this gives me 65 watts of charging and of course because we're on a wire
now there's no you know high latency to contend with or choppiness or anything
like that it's it's completely smooth and and
of course our peripherals that we connected are now connected to the
laptop through the usb hub that's built into the monitor
it's trippy we've used this thing half a dozen different ways and we've yet to
connect an HDMI or a displayport cable to it like fl
oh sorry Linus that's just me using chromecast from my phone
okay so there's another one oh wow that was really fast so that's
youtube only yeah actually a built-in chromecast for other apps
huh that actually looks really good too this looks about as good as airplay did
maybe even better actually that looks really good how much is this thing 3.99
that's funny you know with samsung it's one of those things where i might have said oh you know what this feature set's
probably like a 300 400 premium over their other monitors and we're gonna
have to wait two or three years for it to trickle down into like the sensibly
priced ones but that's not that's not unreasonable at all sorry i'm just using
my phone as a remote you can do that on any Android phone with the smartthings
app huh that is so much better than just like
using the remote i mentioned at the beginning that one of the things i'd like to see on monitors is all those
adjustments that you have on tvs and of course it's got the full samsung
settings suite so you've got all your different sound modes picture modes game
mode there's an ultra wide game view mode so this i could see being more
applicable on something like a much larger tv what it does effectively is it
kind of like puts black bars so you have like a super ultra kind of wide screen
gaming experience they're not the focus but it is worth talking through some
speeds and feeds it's not the brightest monitor ever but it's 4k 32 inches 60
hertz and in terms of inputs you've got two HDMI ports one of which with arc so
like i said you could hook a sound bar up to this thing no problem you've got on the 4k model
you've got the usb type-c input and then of course you've got the built-in usb
hub now you can mount it with a vasa ARM
so that's pretty cool but you're not required to use that for the included stand and then you've got your power
around that's basically it all right and we got this boy right here
and an ambient light sensor so it knows how bright it should be even if the
answer is usually maximum
filmmaker oh really filmmaker mode for watching your netflix or whatever else
it makes so much sense it's the m7 smart monitor and it's basically a smart tv
but a monitor this video could have been like 15 seconds long if we had said it
that way thanks samsung for sponsoring this video
thanks you guys for watching it i am really looking forward to where this
tech goes in the future because i can absolutely see it
right now i'd love to see it like you know the latency down a little bit more
responsive but this is a really cool concept that i have no idea why it took
this long to come to market but hey we're there now
