Monitors and MemoryFirst, Samsung's own Model # F32TU872VN doesn't even come up in Samsung's own Monitors list — it says "enter valid monitor model number" — ! Not an auspicious start to a working relationship.
Second, I connected the new Samsung Monitor (Model F32TU872VN) to my late-2018 MacBook Pro using Samsung's supplied Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable. For one second a Samsung display message comes on saying "Thunderbolt is connected / USB-C" — only to be replaced by this message: "No Signal / DisplayPort / Check the cable connection and the settings of the source device"
What on earth? Why would I have to get a DisplayPort adapter/cable when this monitor is DESIGNED to work through Thunderbolt 3/USB-C?

Monitors and MemoryLooking through user reviews on Amazon, it appears that others have had this work with that Mac.
- Have you ensured that you are using the correct USB-C port on the monitor?
- Have you tried another cable?

Monitors and MemoryI had this same issue, and you need to use the USB-C cable that came with the monitor. For some reason other USB-C cables didn't work, so once I plugged in the Samsung cable everything worked fine.

Monitors and MemoryUm, I tried turning it off and on again and it worked fine. So . . . never mind.
Thanks for your help, though!

Monitors and MemoryThe thunderbolt connection is not working for me. Using a 2016 Macbook Pro updated to OS Big Sur (V11). Have tried both the 90W and the 15W ports on the Samsung F32TU87 monitor with both the provided thunderbolt cable and the mac issued thunderbolt cable without success.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Have tried restarting both devices but have not reset the LRAM/PRAM of my mac yet. I am currently using the HDMI port of the monitor which works well.
