Brand Announces Addition of 32-inch 4K M8 Smart Monitor to Its Smart Monitor Family

Like the family models that are on sale today, the new product, in addition to being able to connect to a computer, has functionality similar to Smart TV, including the possibility of accessing streaming applications.

The M8 is 11.4mm thick, which Samsung says is significantly thinner than previous models. Another novelty is the portable SlimFit camera, which can be attached with a magnet built into the monitor for video calls. The monitor supports video chat applications such as Google Duo. We add that when using other Samsung smart monitors, the user will need a webcam to make video calls and participate in video conferences.

Samsung has also integrated SmartThings IoT Hub into the monitor, which allows the user to view and control the location of the various smart devices available directly on the smart monitor. Samsung announced that the Smart Monitor M8 has a new Workspace feature that integrates work-related web services such as Microsoft 365 into an intuitive hub.

Another new feature is Game Home, which lets you use the Smart Monitor M8 to stream games from cloud gaming services. Owners will also be able to connect wireless controllers to it, according to Samsung. However, the company has not yet indicated which services or controllers the monitor will support. She told The Verge that more information about this feature will be provided closer to the start of the Smart Monitor M8 implementation in 2022.
