GadgetGuy’s take
Samsung High-Res 4K monitors 2021 offer good specifications, and the U models with downstream 90W charging are very useful. For my money, the 34” S65U 3440 x 1440 100R curved at $999 is the logical choice for a single monitor setup.
Otherwise, a pair of 27/32” S7 3840 x 2160, no hub, at $429/$549, will appeal to dual monitor users who will need a separate docking station like the Plugable Intel Titan series that supports Thunderbolt 3 and 4 and USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 with HDMI and DP outputs to drive them.
I’m interested in a monitor to take on the road in a motorhome for dual use as a TV/movie streaming device when not in use with the laptop PC.
I’m wondering about how much power they draw and could possibly be used with a sine wave converter when not connected to 240v.
Samsung doesn’t provide power specs but typically a 4K 27-34″ monitor draws AC 240V/1.8A/432W converted to DC 14V/3A/42W. No issues with a sine wave converter but make sure you have a power/spike filter. I am afraid that you are going to have to go to a retailer and look at the power brick output.
Hello, the specs mentioned in the Samsung website seem to be different for the monitors, like PD is 65W and HDMI and USB versions etc. wondering if these are different versions? Cheers
