- Samsung's new Space Monitor utilizes an arm that clamps to your desk instead a traditional monitor stand.
- It's designed to save the space that a regular monitor stand takes up.
- The monitor is available in two models: a $400 27-inch QHD version and a $500 32-inch 4K version.
Samsung has come up with a fresh new design for monitors that should have been done years ago.
The Samsung Space Monitor replaces the traditional monitor stand with an arm that clamps on to the back of your desk. In effect, Samsung is letting you use the desk space that would otherwise be taken up by the screen's stand.
The amount of space that a monitor stand uses up probably isn't something that crosses minds very often, but I've become a convert after buying a clamping monitor arm a couple years ago for my monitor at home. The arm I bought was a separate third-party attachment and they've been around for some time, but they're not especially easy to install and set up. It's good to see monitors that come with built-in clamping arms as standard.
Spec-wise, the Samsung Space Monitor comes in two different models. The 27-inch model sports a QHD (1440p) resolution and is priced at $400. The larger, 32-inch model sports a 4k UHD (2160p) resolution and is priced at $500. Both models are available for pre-order from Amazon with a released date of February 23.
