Box slightly damaged Samsung (LF32TU870VEXXY) TU87F 32" 4K UHD HDR10 Thunderbolt Monitor
Add $50 for brand new box option.

Specs at Samsung page where they also sell it

Cheapest 32 inch 4K with USB-C 90W Power Delivery and supports daisy chain due to TB3 with HAS, pivot & tilt

Not a lot of reviews but you might find some a bit concerning. Apparently has finicky Thunderbolt 3, ain't too bright, too bright, etc, etc. I took my chances anyway as I need 90W, HAS and wanted 32inch for a 4K. (4K at 27 inch is too small for me to see comfortably)

Mixed reviews from Amazon..ss

  • US 3.8 stars - 97 ratings (not exactly the same model number but looks exactly the same physically and feature wise)
  • AU 2.5 stars (only 2 reviews from Au buyers. 1x 1 star and 1x5star )

That said, purchase from a retailer which you find is easy to deal with relating to returns/warranty claims.

Product review scores Mwave and Computer Alliance fairly high in terms of returns and warranty claims but shipping is not free. None got 4 stars but I'd choose 3. something stars over 1 star.

      4K + Thunderbolt clearly aren't made for gaming

    • mbcd on 25/01/2022 - 21:34

      I know, definitely not for gaming

  • bestbarginever on 25/01/2022 - 21:22

    Nice monitor. However, Samsung frame is the one to get.

  • chrism238 on 25/01/2022 - 22:10

    Have been considering this for a long time, but worry about image quality (brightness, contrast, etc). How does it compare to Dell P or Ultrasharp?

    • mbcd on 26/01/2022 - 00:04

      Ultrasharp would probably better. Once mine arrives, I'll be comparing it to a Dell S2722QC not same same or resolution tho. Still not sure if I'll find 32 inch too big or not yet

      • netsurfer on 26/01/2022 - 08:36

        Rather than a generic statement, perhaps let him know the pros and cons.

        Since you have S2722QC and still elect to get an Ultrasharp, you clearly want some of the Ultrasharp features, so perhaps mention them.

      The main reason to consider this Samsung monitor is its Thunderbolt 3 support. However, you do need to bear in mind that the Samsung monitor has a VA panel (some people don't like VA). Based on the manual, the Samsung monitor doesn't have factory tuned sRGB mode nor DCI-P3 mode. So if you want one of those and colour accuracy is quite important, you will need to tune it yourself.

      Dell P range and S range monitors, they are cost effective offerings. They don't have some of the features in Ultrasharp, but it is not a good idea to just look at them based on the series. Best to compare model to model.

      Ultrasharp monitors, generally are better factory calibrated and you get a calibration report. Also, they tend to include sRGB, and on newer ones probably a DCI-P3 picture mode. For P and S ones, you don't get those (instead you get game modes, and some other generic modes) and only gets 1 custom mode (a small number of S series monitors do get 3) and some gaming modes, but do you have a calibrator (assuming you want sRGB and/or DCI-P3 calibrated modes)? Another thing is Dell display manager app for Mac only works on some Ultrasharp monitors. Lastly, with P and S series, there is generally no monitor firmware upgrade (not that most monitors have that, but Ultrasharp monitors might).

      S2722QC, when discounted, is probably one of the most effective monitor for Macs. However, it is USB-C/alt-mode based, and there are still limitations with that (on Mac side, because Apple don't really open up every single display option to the customers). Furthermore, Dell did reduce the USB-PD to 60W and the Mac app does not work on it. Apple just doesn't support USB-C/alt-mode that well to be honest.

      The sad reality is that there is just no cost effective Thunderbolt 3 monitors out there. Another issue is that you generally cannot try out these USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 monitors. Things just don't work perfectly if you use Mac with USB-C monitors (assuming you care about HDR, despite most of these cheaper ones are fake HDR). It gets messy if you have older Macs, as well as M1 based Macs.

        Thanks for all the feedback. I have U2421HE and a P2419HC side by side, Ultrasharp does produce better color range especially working with raw photos, P isn’t bad at all, very clear image, only a bit inferior in colour and perhaps also contrast. I’m not too technical in displays, only able to judge with my (poor) eyes…

        Considering this Samsung indeed because of Thunderbolt, but if image isn’t on par with either P or Ultrasharp, have to give up and look elsewhere.

        • mbcd on 01/02/2022 - 22:30

          it's not on par, I think. there was an image where the blue (in Mac and Dell S2722QC screen looked a bit purplish in the Samsung. brightness is fine to me though the image looks a bit washed if compared side by side..

            @mbcd: Thanks for sharing this :)

            I'm surprise that the Samsung having washed image issue, thought main advantage of VA panel is contrast? Think I'm seeing the Dell also have same issue but at lesser degree.

            Looks like I'll have to save up and grab another Dell Ultrasharp if ever come across a good deal…

    250cd/m is HDR in name ONLY.

    Huge pet peeve of mine as this is tantamount to false advertising.

    Slapping a “HDR10” label on this when it would be barely noticeable is a joke.
