SAMSUNG S80A Computer Monitor, 27 Inch 4K , Vertical , USB C , HDR10 (1 Billion Colors), Built-in Speakers (LS27A800UNNXZA),Black

I’ve had this for about two years. It’s a beautiful monitor, especially for the price. Color is good, connections are many, and the stand is quality.There are two caveats that you may or may not find helpful.I was disappointed that my Apple silicon Mac mini can’t change the volume on this monitor without a software app. (OS X limitation, not the monitors fault)I actually use this in 1440p. 4K at this size is overkill, and makes many UI elements too small. Using the clean resolution scaling of 1080p is too big.Knowing what I know now, I probably would have looked for a 1440p monitor without speakers, which could have saved me a few bucks, or jumped up to a 32” 4K or even an extra wide 2x 1440p monitor (49” double width). That said, I’m happy with this monitor and haven’t ever felt it was a bad purchase decision. I’ve used with hdmi input and usb-c from a Mac mini without any problems. I use eqMac for volume control and do actually use the speakers on the monitor since my 2.1 speakers died—the quality is sufficient for things that are not music or movies, but for those uses I’ll just put in my AirPods.

The picture quality and readability of text is excellent. I picked this because people liked the display quality, and I also picked it because it has speakers, and the price was right.The speakers are certainly functional, but the bass response isn't really there, but it's great for my purposes to have them so I don't have to plug in separate speakers and have them falling over, and be extra clutter in my current living situation. One review said that the speakers would go loud enough to be heard, and other monitors with built in speakers they had tried didn't. I agree with this statement that this monitor does provide a a reasonable amount of volume. Another thing I read about a different monitor that does have speakers is that the volume was not adjustable from the operating system. I was happy to find that I can adjust the volume of these speakers in all of the usual ways from the computer. The only cables I am connecting to the monitor is HDMI and power.I am very happy to five star this one!

I bought this specifically to use with M1 Macbook Air via USB C.Initial impressions: Easy to assemble, only one screw to hold the base on. Stand on back of monitor has a clip. Adjustments on stand are smooth. Cord does not have a box attached to it. It is just a cord, thankfully. Comes with USB C and HDMI cable. Instructions are horrible, but everything is easy to figure out.Attaching to Macbook was easy. Mac puts the screen at 1440p and looks good. Stuck my wireless mouse receiver in the back of the monitor, works just fine. USB A ports are dated, not sure why they would put them back there. Other reviews have noted that the screen is dim and to disable Eco and EyeSaver mode to fix this, on my monitor they were already disabled. Screen does not get really bright but will work fine for my purposes, if you have a lot of outdoor light shining in directly at the monitor you may get a lot of glare. Enabling HDR makes the monitor unusably dim.One giant con: Audio when using USB C connection will not work through the monitor. Not the biggest deal for me because my external audio receiver has bluetooth, but this kills the one cable simplicity and makes the monitor's headphone jack worthless.All in all for 300 bucks I really can't complain.

Love USB C - powers / charges my MacBook Air perfectly. Also can plug my iPad Pro (USB C) directly into the display as well. USB ports on the back make it slick for plugging in the USB A dongle for the Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse as well as I purchased a USB A Ethernet adapter to provide dedicated wired connection to my setup.USB C really does make sense. So many displays continue to use HDMI or worse; DisplayPort as their primary connection. Why not use 1 cable from your monitor to your laptop which provides everything (power to your laptop, audio from your laptop to the monitor's speakers, video output, laptop's data connection, and peripheral connections back to the laptop)? - Also a great setup if you share a workspace or have multiple computers you need to use (personal vs work vs family member's computers). Just plug into USB C and everything just works.Screen brightness at first was disappointing until I saw online there are 2 settings you need to disable - 1) Eye Care / Strain setting, 2) Eco Mode. Once disabled, the monitor was super bright. The 4K resolution is great and everything is super crisp and colors pop.HDR - I might be using this setting wrong, but when I enable it, the screen dims significantly to the point where I can't use it. Not using this has not been an issue.Adjustable Stand - I don't understand why manufactures think everyone is the same height or looks at a monitor at the same level. I know you can buy monitor mounts but it seems silly to not just include an adjustable stand to begin with. Luckily this monitor stand adjusts and raises and lowers easily.In the package, both HDMI and USB C cables were included as well as the power cord.Ascetically, this is a very nice, thin bezel monitor. It looks professional and sleek on my desk. I could see where a 2nd one probably makes for a very nice set up.I would recommend if you need a one-stop setup display.
