Based on the latest Google Search Trends and the Entrepreneur.com survey done at the end of 2020, 76% of CEOs reported that their company’s productivity was either maintained or even increased as a result of working remotely. The survey also sighted that 70% of CEOs prefer that a portion of their employees continue to work remotely even after their offices reopen. Given this stark new normal, Samsung introduces their latest technological breakthrough, designed for both young professionals and students alike, the new Samsung Smart Monitor.
The world’s first “Do-It-All” screen, the Samsung Smart Monitor is highly adept in meeting all types of demands for work, entertainment, learning, gaming, and just about anything in between, without the need for a PC.
The Samsung Smart Monitor is loaded with productivity features such as Remote Access, Office 365, and Samsung DeX. Remote Access allows users to have full access to their office PC or laptop via the Internet. With Office 365, documents and presentations can be viewed, edited, and saved in the cloud, while with Samsung DeX, Samsung Galaxy phone users will be able to easily connect with the Smart Monitor and open a desktop workspace.
The Samsung Smart Monitor also comes fully equipped with a slew of entertainment features in an easy to navigate hub for Netflix, YouTube, and other Smart TV apps, including AirPlay 2, Tap View, App Casting, and Screen Mirroring. It comes with a remote controller, a built-in speaker, and voice assistance through Bixby. Its versatility is also uncompromised as it comes with a USB type-C port on the 32” UHD M7 model, alongside other USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity. So, not only is it a flexible work and study monitor, it also serves as a full entertainment hub for the whole family.
When it comes to e-learning, the Samsung Smart Monitor also has impressive features including Adaptive Picture which recognizes its surroundings and provides the best viewing experience possible, as the display automatically adjusts its backlight brightness by using ambient light sensors, thus reducing eye strain. It is also Flicker Free and employs App Casting and Tap View which easily displays the phone’s screen on the TV. Besides this, it is also TUV Certified which means that the product has been thoroughly tested for safety and found to meet the minimum requirements set by the German Equipment and Product Safety Act.
The Samsung Smart Monitor comes in three sizes and configurations: a 27” Full HD monitor priced at P18,999; 32” Full HD monitor priced at P22,999; and a 32” Ultra High-Definition (UHD) monitor priced at P28,999. The main advantage of the UHD can be seen in its crisp clear picture clarity. It has four times more pixel density and can provide a workspace four times larger, than Full HD, while only taking up the same physical space. It will be available in all major retail outlets starting March 5, 2021.
From March 5 to 31, 2021, early-bird buyers of the Samsung Smart Monitor will get a premium Logitech MK120 keyboard and mouse set worth P1,000, plus a 1-year premium subscription to video streaming provider, Viu.
