Product Overview

M7 32M70A is one of the first Smart Monitors launched by Samsung that features expanded connectivity options for use with both PCs and smartphones.
The 32-inch M7 offers native 4K UHD resolution and, unlike most monitors, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Powered by Samsung's Tizen operating system, this smart monitor can even stream contents from Netflix, HBO, and YouTube without a PC or mobile device. It even features Bixby integration---just like Samsung's smart TVs, minus the internal tuner.
Samsung also launched two M5 Smart Monitors that share much of the same technical features and characteristics at FHD (1080p) resolution in 27-inch and 32-inch guises.
Other Samsung high-resolution professional monitors introduced in 2020 include the 27" WQHD T85F and T70F, the 28" 4K UR55, the 34" ultra-wide CH89, and the 32" 4K TU87F.

Reviewers from ndtv have found the following***:
The Samsung M7 monitor runs on the Tizen operating system, which is also seen on Samsung smart TVs. All apps natively support up to Ultra-HD HDR10 content, and support for AirPlay 2 means that you can wirelessly connect to Apple devices. Colours were accurately portrayed, motion was clean and artefact-free, and the size of the screen itself made all the difference in improving my work. Sound quality on the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 isn't particularly special, or even anything more than ordinary.

Pros
  • Sharp, clear picture
  • Supports up to Ultra-HD content
  • Built-in speaker system
Cons
  • Doesn’t support AirPlay 2

Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
Samsung M7 has a 32-inch VA display with a 4K resolution. It's ideal for tackling everyday, mainstream workloads where colour isn't key. The M7 rendered a decent 97% of the sRGB colour gamut, so it'll handle every shade required by mainstream tools and media apps. It doesn't have the quality or gamut ability to handle colour-sensitive workloads, but it does have lashings of vibrancy and nuance.

Pros
  • Decent 4K resolution
  • Decent image quality
  • Good build quality
Cons
  • Slow OSD
  • Lack of smart features

The Samsung Smart Monitor M7 is a great all-purpose screen that can be comfortably used as a small TV and home office monitor. Colour reproduction and processing in the out-of-the-box Dynamic mode is way too overcooked. Movie fans would do well to quickly switch to the TV’s Filmmaker mode. The monitor is capable of registering the HDR10 standard.

Pros
  • Bright 60Hz panel
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Screen uniformity could be better
  • No OLED-level blacks
