Our Verdict
Samsung 43 QN90B QLED
Samsung Smart Monitor M7 S43BM70
The Samsung Smart Monitor M7 S43BM70 and the Samsung 43 QN90B QLED are different types of 43-inch displays. The QN90B is a TV that's better if you want to use it for PC gaming as it has a higher refresh rate, VRR support, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. It also has better overall picture quality with its Mini LED interface, but if you need a simple monitor with a built-in smart interface, the S43BM70 is the better choice.
