Samsung is pushing the envelope with their brand new Space Monitor and its wacky stand. But, is it really something you should buy?
I’ve heard that you can get this monitor to be pretty accurate if you have a colour calibration tool, but I don’t own one of those. In fact, there’s only one person I know who has one of those and I work in a field with professional creatives.
Considering how useful I found this stand to be in my line of work, I was quite disappointed that it wasn’t factory colour calibrated. After all, colour is something many creatives work with. Oh, and this 32” version also isn’t great for gaming because its refresh rate is capped at 60Hz. If you want the 144Hz as advertised, you’ll need to go for the 27” 2K panel instead.
I also wished it was a touchscreen panel because when i have the display closest to me, I found myself naturally trying to touch the elements on the screen like you would with something like a Surface Studio. It just makes sense, y’know? Speaking of things that I wished made more sense, let’s talk about the Space Monitor’s port selection. It’s bad–really bad. Not only does it not come with any pass through USB ports, the monitor itself uses an HDMI port and a Mini DisplayPort for display instead of something modern like USB-C.
That means if you’re using a modern laptop like me that only has USB-C ports, you’ll need to get an adapter because Samsung only includes an HDMI to HDMI cable. And, if you want it to display at its native 4K resolution at 60Hz, you can’t just use any HDMI to USB-C adapter. A surprising number of adapters only support up to 4K at 30Hz.
