SAMSUNG 27" Viewfinity S80 4K High Res Business Monitor, Black 27-inch

The description was inaccurate because it said it was a Thunderbolt 4 monitor. but it was not.

This model does not produce sound with a macbook pro, a macbook air or a pc windows-based laptop. Samsung IT support could not remedy the problem. I sent back the first one I ordered thinking maybe it was a product defect. The second one I ordered had the same problem. I contacted my personal IT support and they could not remedy this problem either. I confirmed it is the monitor and not any of the three computers I tested it with by taking the computers to a store and trying them with other manufacturers' monitors, which were able to produce sound. Samsung needs to look into this. It's a VERY expensive monitor on top of everything. I ended up purchasing an LG monitor with the same specs for $300 less.

With a name like Samsung and after reading several reviews of monitors that work well with Macs, I decided to give this one a shot for use with a new MacBook Air. Even after making every adjustment possible and even at the monitor's highest brightness setting *and* creating a custom color calibration profile on the Mac, the monitor just doesn't cut it. I have a 5+ year old Dell monitor that puts out 400 nits (I use it for work with a MacBook Pro).... connecting the Air to that gives a clear, bright picture. Almost on par with what I'd expect from a native Apple display. It's possible the individual Samsung I got is just defective, but I won't get another one. The newer S9 model that compares to the Apple Studio Display would be interesting if it wasn't as expensive as the Apple Studio Display :D

Super dim screen. Returning.

I’m liking the performance the hub and that it has thunderbolt which charges my MacBook Pro M1 laptop without any issues.
