The Samsung F32TU870VR 32″ 4K Monitor is an absolute visual delight. With its 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, it delivers stunning clarity and smooth performance. The 32-inch display provides ample screen real estate for work and entertainment. It’s an excellent addition to my setup, whether I’m editing photos, working on documents, or enjoying 4K content. The build quality is top-notch, and the design is sleek and modern. If you’re in search of a monitor that offers exceptional visuals and a large screen for productivity or entertainment, the Samsung F32TU870VR is the perfect choice. I’m extremely satisfied with this monitor!
I bought this as a monitor for programming and image processing on a MacBook M1. The monitor is fine for that, and is very easy to mount on a separate VESA mount. I can’t answer for colour accuracy for serious image work.
One specification feature I liked is the build-in USB hub, that can provide USB connectors for mouse, camera, and also a wired ethernet port. This works well enough when everything is first powered up, but after some time (possibly when the monitor goes into sleep mode) the port connections are lost, and I haven’t found any way to restore them short of rebooting the MacBook. So I’ve had to revert to using a separate USB hub for all those other connections.
The thunderbolt output is great – plugging in means my work laptop is charged by the monitor, reducing cable mess.
Screen is great resolution so I can have large excel spreadsheets open with space to see plenty of columns.
The screen tilts forward/backwards, up/down & swivels – which maybe could be sturdier, but for the price is very good.
Wonderful picture quality. Height and angle is easily adjustable so it makes a perfect monitor to go with a MacBook Pro. Apple have priced themselves out of the market with their new monitor- this is the perfect alternative.
Display and USB hub combo is one of the reasons I went for this model, all cabling is neatly hidden behind the display, and only one USB-C cable to my work PC laptop is visible. A single cable for downstream power, up-to 4K@60Hz display, and USB hub for built-in GigabitEthernet and any external peripherals (2xUSB-A, 1 spare USB-C).
The picture-by-picture feature that appears to be so common on modern displays will come handy when I connect my Linux server using the built-in HDMI port and share panel with TB or Display Port. Single power cable for the equivalent of two screens.
My main use of the monitor is typical office work: documents, spreadsheets, multiple windows at once, you name it. I can only speak in this context, but image is good and it has been a great improvement over laptop’s or a previous external 21″ FHD display. Switching to eye-rest mode was a bit of a change at first, but got used to it and now is the default mode. HDR mode for office work does not make sense.
I miss having a spare USB port for a headset. Although Bluetooth would be an option, so far I have connected headset directly to the laptop.
My personal computer (and old macbook pro that only supports Thunderbolt 2) needed a cable and an adapter. Display works fine (4K but 30Hz) as well as access to USB hub, but power does not come over TB2, so bit less of “single cable” approach.
Now, the stand. Easy to assemble and regulate panel height. The only issue here is any push to the table or, as mentioned, doing continuous typing on the keyboard (like that of writing an email) is transferred via the stand to the panel and it appears flimsy. I’ve been thinking of ways to reduce the impact, but then again typing on my laptop while it’s on my lap does something similar, so it’s more about being a bit careful and getting used to it. Would I like to remove that shaking thing? Of course. Does it bother me? Not really.
The UI is pretty straightforward, controlled by a button-joystick on the back of the display. Standby mode causes the status LED blink, turning it off just leaves it fixed. After the first few days checking it out, I’ve rarely used it, other than switching on/off monitor, and selecting video input (can be set to autodetect, by default is manual).
Samsung LF32TU870VRXXU 32″ UHD 4K Monitor is a great 4K monitor, very sharp picture easy to navigate.
