Samsung M8 Smart Monitor with 32-inch 4K Display, SlimFit camera, and More

Samsung first revealed the M8 smart monitor at CES 2022, but now they have officially announced more details about it, as well as the price. The new Samsung M8 monitor once again combines the function of a smart TV with productivity apps integrated on the monitor.

In addition to the new Samsung Frame TV 2022, Samsung has also announced a new smart monitor at CES 2022: The Samsung monitor M8 should enable a seamless transition between entertainment and work even without a PC. The Samsung smart monitor M8 is said to be a great option for remote work without a PC. Among other things, a SlimFit Cam for video calls via Google Duo and Co is integrated.

With the USB Type-C connection with 65 watts of charging power, the new Samsung M8 smart monitor enables an optimized all-in-one workstation experience that does not require an additional docking station. The technical specifications of the 32-inch M8 include a UHD panel with 99 percent sRGB coverage, 1.07 billion colors, and 400 nits of brightness. In addition, the device should be three quarters thinner than its predecessor.

The M8 is a mere 32″ 4K desktop monitor, but the reason it’s called a smart monitor is that it runs Tizen, with Bixby virtual assistant (in addition, has Alexa ), as well as no need to connect to a computer but can still access several services such as Netflix, AppleTV+, Google Duo…and support some connections such as Apple AirPlay 2 through a chip is built inside.

The Samsung M8 is a screen with a “special” design, maybe you will find it similar to iMac with a square, slim, and colorful design (a rarity on a computer monitor). Looking at the M8, no one will think it is a monitor but more like an AiO computer. M8 has a size of 32″ with 4K HDR10+ resolution reaching 99% sRGB, with a built-in 65W USB-C port.

In particular, the M8 also comes with a SlimFit camera when users buy the screen. Other parameters of the M8 can be mentioned such as 60Hz refresh rate, 400 nit peak brightness, VA panel use, 3000:1 static contrast ratio, Bluetooth 4.2, and Wi-Fi 5 as well as Auto capability.
