Samsung Smart Monitors and streaming: A match made in heaven

It seems like every few months there’s a new streaming service on the market making the enjoyment of your favourite TV shows and movies even more difficult. While Samsung can’t fix that for you, it can centralise all of your content in one place without the need for external hardware thanks to the Smart Monitor range.

Samsung Smart Monitors are now available in South Africa and are all-in-one streaming platforms right out of the box. There’s no need to connect your Smart Monitor to a streaming device or even external speakers as these monitors do it all.

Smart Monitors are their own standalone ecosystems with hardware and an operating system right on board. This OS can access streaming content from Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Samsung TV Plus and much more.

There’s even support for streaming services that South Africa doesn’t even have access to such as HBO and Disney+. This essentially gives you more functionality in the future as buying a Samsung Smart Monitor in South Africa today will give you the assurance that these platforms can be accessed when they’re made available locally.

All of this endless content can be enjoyed on crisp 1920 X 1080 or the higher 3840 X 2160 resolution screens. The great thing about these options of model resolutions is that you can buy a monitor to suit your budget and content consumption.

For example if you’re a big fan of YouTube and find yourself mostly enjoying that platform, then a 1920 X 1080 will suit you perfectly as this resolution is still king there. But if you regularly find yourself attracted to the 4K options on Amazon Prime Video then you can spring for the 3840 X 2160 options.

The Samsung Smart Monitors come with a pair of high quality speakers to complete the experience so you don’t need to spend extra on external speakers or even break out your own audio options, but they are all supported so it’s again a personal choice.

The wireless, minimalist design is what we prefer so having one screen that can do all this is the way we’d go but that’s just us.

This ease of use extends to the remote which has physical buttons but can also be controlled by voice.

All of this is just what’s included in the box. Samsung Smart Monitors are, of course, monitors which can be plugged into most sources thanks to their HDMI connections. For those who prefer the wireless look we mentioned earlier the good news continues as both Apple’s AirPlay 2 and Samsung’s Wireless DeX are supported allowing you to bring the content from your mobile devices to your bigger monitor.

While streaming is what we all love to do to relax at the end of the day these monitors also work great for content you’ve created from quickly sharing holiday pictures and videos you captured to professional work like editing and so much more.

Content is king in the modern tech world and Samsung Smart Monitors have that content covered from every angle.

To get your own Samsung Smart Monitor shop local listings from South African retailers Wootware and Matrix Warehouse.
