It has built-in speakers and you can control your video playback including volume from the provided remote control.
The Smart Monitor M5 also gets two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports for multi-display as well as Apple AirPlay and wireless DeX. Don’t expect any high refresh rates for gaming as the panel maxes at 60Hz and there’s no support for G-SYNC or FreeSync.
Despite being able to double as a “TV” for your video streaming apps, take note that you can’t use it to watch live Digital TV channels as the Smart Monitors doesn’t come with a TV tuner built-in. In case you missed it, you learn more in our Samsung Smart Monitor M5 and M7 review below:
