Samsung Smart Monitor M8 32"

Samsung’s M8 Smart Monitor is a well-rounded display that can function as both a television and a computer monitor. It has impressive image quality and comes equipped with Samsung’s Tizen OS for streaming, but a few questionable design decisions hold it back from being truly great.

The Samsung M8 Smart Monitor promises pretty much everything. It’s a 32-inch 4K monitor with both USB-C and wireless connectivity, plus SmartTV functionality and some slick Apple-esque styling. But it doesn’t offer the best image quality at this price point and the Smart features and build quality are a little patchy.

An ideal solution if you want a single screen for work and play. The M8 is a beautiful monitor infused with TV smarts.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is great for media consumption. The built-in smart platform makes it easy to stream your favorite shows and movies if you don't want to do it from a PC. The 4k resolution delivers crips images and the 32 inch screen is big enough to share with someone else, although it has narrow viewing angles, so the image looks inaccurate from the sides. It's also great for watching content in bright and dark rooms because it gets bright enough to fight glare, and it displays deep blacks too.

The Samsung M8 Smart Monitor combines a great screen with a lot of extras, including support for streaming apps and the company's DeX connectivity for its Galaxy phones. Its specs are very much high-end if not the absolute best possible, and it all comes in at an appealing price point as well.

The Samsung M8 Smart Monitor is an excellent all-round display, capable of crisp 4K picture quality while also flaunting the smarts to run streaming apps without the help of external devices. The price is arguably too steep when you consider that it’s seen only minor upgrades compared to Samsung’s M7 monitor, but it’s more stylish design at least provides a reason to splash the cash.
