The price of Samsung's 2024 Smart Monitor M8 has dropped to an all-time low of $400.
updated Smart Monitor M8 has the same features as previous models, but can now do even more things that require a computer or console, including video calling via a detachable webcam and streaming content from providers like Netflix and Prime Video. There's even a tool that lets you quickly send images and text from other Samsung devices like Galaxy smartphones and Book laptops to your monitor. It also integrates with the Galaxy Buds, delivering “surround sound” with minimal latency.
This offers UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) up to 60Hz and HDR10+. The VA panel offers a respectable brightness of 400 nits, a response time of 4 milliseconds, and displays up to a billion colors with 99 percent sRGB coverage. In terms of inputs, you get USB-C and Micro HDMI 2.0 inputs, as well as a USB-C charging interface. Finally, it has a detachable SlimFit Cam for video calling, making it a great choice for work or light content creation.
But that's only half the story. It is a Wi-Fi enabled smart TV that supports Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV, as well as cloud gaming platforms. It features built-in dual 5W speakers and a home hub that lets you use it to control SmartThings-compatible IoT devices like lights and thermostats. It even has built-in support for Microsoft 365, so you can edit documents or browse the web without needing to connect to a computer.
Other features include the ability to change angle and position using the height-adjustable stand, as well as a game bar that allows you to easily switch between cloud services. It usually sells for $700, so the $400 sale price is an especially good deal, so it's best to act quickly while it's in stock.
