Product Overview

M5 27M50A is a 27-inch Smart Monitor by Samsung that offers unconventional connectivity options such as WiFi and Bluetooth designed for use with PCs and smartphones.
The M5 27M50A shares all the feature set and design elements with its 32-inch sibling, the M5 32M50A. Chief among them are the Tizen operating system, integrated speakers, FHD VA display, and an included remote: the M5 27M50A is capable of streaming video from sources such as Netflix and YouTube without being connected to a PC or a smartphone---much like a Samsung smart TV.
Samsung also markets a 4K UHD variant with USB-C charging for your smart devices, the M7 32M70A.
In 2021, Samsung introduced a white version of the same monitor as well as a 24-inch variant of the M5 Smart Monitor.
