Hdmi Arc Samsung Monitor

I have the Arc with two Play 1s for surrounds, with a Samsung TV using HDMI. Had the original playbar (black) so visually Arc in white is much better - the shape, curves, all metal design and touch buttons now look great under the TV. Sound from TV (programs and streaming) is really great, and the quality of music is really pleasing. For us it's a upgrade in quality compared to using just TV speakers. Family happy!

I bought this to connect my aging Samsung monitor, which only has DVI and VGA inputs, to my new computer which only has DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. Since the monitor doesn't have a sound system in it, DisplayPort is the natural choice, and I use the HDMI of for my pen tablet. Cable works flawlessly with no problems in picture quality and has plenty of length to be able to stow the computer out of the way. It feels durable enough to last many years.

Samsung places this monitor in their Essentials lineup - a moniker usually reserved by vendors for very basic devices. And, indeed, many things about this monitor are basic. But nothing is actually bad or even poor. The picture is good. The brightness is good. It properly handles 50Hz (PAL framerate) video from my retro gaming scaler, so that's a very nice feature. As is typical with inexpensive monitors, the stand is bare-bones and places the monitor quite low to the desk, but the VESA mounting option lets me add a $20 monitor arm to solve that issue. The single HDMI input is a tad limiting, but at $4 per port for the HDMI licensing fee, I can understand why they did that. It's also not excessively light-weight that it threatens to topple over on my desk. The external power supply is a bit of an odd design, being an in-line brick with with the AC input at an angle. Just something to keep in mind for cable routing concerns. In all, a great monitor for the price. Highly recommended.

I recently also bought a Samsung UHD monitor from B & H to use with my laptop, and though the monitor includes an HDMI cable, a friend recommended my buying the Mini DisplayPort Adapter Cable for even higher quality than the HDMI. Not only was it inexpensive, it definitely makes a worthwhile difference in sharper and richer picture quality, and would highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to improve their monitor picture quality.

Sound is excellent, links automatically with all remotes through "arc" feature on hdmi 2 port.

Only thing its missing are HDMI inputs, relying on a TV with E Arc is filled with problems.

Perfect HDMI for Atomos recorder/monitor.

This cable was used to connect an HDMI monitor to the computer.

Works great. Easy setup. Sounds good. Using HDMI ARC so I can control it with my TV remote.
