Samsung first introduced its Smart Monitor in December last year and it was targeted at the increasing need for smart displays as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic. The Korean tech giant has now announced that it has sold over 600,000 units of the monitor globally.

The sales translate to the company selling more than one unit every minute since its launch. The Samsung Smart Monitor is a new concept monitor that is equipped with a smart hub based on Tizen OS, allowing you to enjoy various OTT (Over The Top) services such as Netflix, Samsung TV Plus, and YouTube as well as work and study without a PC connection.

The monitors have received positive reviews on YouTube and other online platforms since they were released. This has greatly impacted the sales of its smart monitors. Also, the adoption of work from home and homeschooling increased the demand for Samsung’s smart monitors.

Samsung Smart Monitors are available in two different models – the Smart Monitor M7 and M5. The Smart Monitor M7 is available in 43-inch and 32-inch models with UHD resolution and black color only. On the other hand, the Smart Monitor M5 comes in 32-inch and 27-inch models with FHD resolution. It is available in black and white color options.

“Samsung Smart Monitor is an innovative product that has completely positioned itself as a new category in the ‘home life’ era,” said Hye-Seung Ha, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

Tech giant Samsung Electronics has announced the addition of two new smart all-in-one monitors in its growing collection of multipurpose, Tizen-powered smart monitors. The smart devices are the 43-inch 4K Smart Monitor M7 and the 24-inch 1080p Smart Monitor M5.

The range of smart monitors offers an array of features and functionality that prove their versatility. The launch of these two new models is coming after the unveiling last year of the smart monitors in 27-inch and 32-inch sizes. The new additions seem to be a strategic move by Samsung to fill the lower and upper end of sizes of the smart monitor. This would cater to a broader array of customer choices and preferences. Samsung said the 24-inch model focuses on customers searching for a good value multi-functional monitor.

The design philosophy of the new smart monitors remains productivity and entertainment. Both models run on Samsung’s Tizen OS, which provides a solid basis for seamless video streaming, smart connectivity to your Galaxy smartphone, and Voice Assistant support like the Google Assistant, Bixby, and Alexa. The impressive built-in speakers on the smart monitors provide a solid sound experience for users. With the Dex app, you can transform the smart monitor into a huge desktop for your smartphone.

There is the likelihood that the M7 will have HDR10 capability in addition to its solar-powered remote control module. The M7 model also features slim bezels and a USB Type C port.

There is no pricing information for the two models at this time. However, the two mid-size models unveiled last year cost between $230 and $400. We would expect the two smart monitors to have a wider price range due partly to the innovations, coupled with their being opposite ends of a spectrum.
