Samsung presents its smart monitor M8, always more complete to reach as many users as possible.
Samsung is adding a new benchmark to its line of smart monitors with the M8, 32-inch, 4K resolution. Like models currently available for sale, this new device may offer TV-worthy features, including access to streaming apps, in addition to being able to connect to a computer like a “regular”monitor. The South Korean giant hasn’t revealed an availability date or price, but the first details we’re entitled to prove that Samsung is going even further with this M8 to make it useful to more people.
Samsung Introduces M8 Smart Monitor
This smart monitor is 11.4mm thick, which Samsung says is much thinner than previous models. Perhaps its most impressive feature is its SlimFit magnetic movable camera, which can optionally be attached to a monitor for video calls. The monitor itself is compatible with many video chat apps such as Google Duo. On other models of Samsung smart monitors, you had to add your own webcam.
Samsung is also integrating the SmartThings IoT Hub into its M8, allowing you to have a map of all the connected objects in your home and control them right from the smart monitor. Samsung explains that the M8 also has a new feature called Workspace, which brings together many productivity web services like Microsoft 365 in an intuitive hub.
Always more complete to reach as many users as possible
Another interesting feature: Game Home. This turns the M8 into a cloud gaming monitor. The South Korean giant claims that owners will be able to use the M8 to play from streaming services and even connect wireless controllers. However, the brand did not name specific services or controllers. Samsung has also revealed that more details on this feature will be shared later this year.
Without mentioning all the connectivity options available on the M8, Samsung has nonetheless stated that this smart monitor has a USB-C port that supports 65W charging.
