Let’s address the elephant in the room; these look rather derivative. In case you had any doubts, you’re not looking at Mac computers. These Samsung M8 Smart Monitors share a similar aesthetic with modern Mac computers. The main difference between the two lines is the smaller bezel size with the Samsung Monitors.
The new Samsung M8 Smart Monitors are more than just pretty screens
Samsung just launched this line of monitors with four nice-looking colors. They are Warm White, Sunset Pink, Spring Green, and Daylight Blue. They’re all really bright but subdued colors. They share a similar look and feel with some of Google’s colored devices. They have really small bezels with a slight chin on the bottom. The actual color for the monitor exists on the bezels, the back, and on the stand. These Samsung M8 Smart Monitors start with a 32-inch size at UHD resolution. We can expect the displays themselves to be high quality (being made by Samsung and all). Along with the UHD resolution, the displays also support HDR10+. Along with the monitors, you also get a Slimfit webcam. This sits on top of the display for video calls. These cameras support face tracking and auto-zoom.
Sure, they look nice, but what can they do?
These Samsung M8 displays really put the “smart” in smart monitors. Aside from acting as regular computer displays, they can also do more. For starters, they can connect to Wi-Fi themselves, so you can use them separately. They come loaded with Samsung TV Plus lets you access streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV, and more. If you want to use this for work, you can. The Samsung M8 Smart Monitors let you connect wirelessly to computers using the Smart Hub. Not only that, but they could access Microsoft 365 programs if you need to get work done. If you want to use this as a DeX display, you can connect your Samsung phone. If you want to pick one of these displays up, they start at $699.
