Once connected to power, a simple ‘on’ via the remote will boot up the monitor. Connecting the webcam (of course is optional), is straight forward as it snaps to the back of the monitor via magnet. Still doable as one person, just awkward. The first thing you need to do is connect the Samsung M8 to the stand, easy enough to do (there’s one screw) but awkward when your arms are as short as mine. Image: Asha Barbaschow/Gizmodo Australia Setting up the Samsung M8 monitor Side profile (please ignore the Little Sister falling out of the pot). What else? Samsung TV Plus, Bixby and Alexa assistants, remote control, webcam attachment.Size & weight:4 inches x 4.9 inches x 22.4 inches, weighs 6.7 kg (with stand).Screen: 32-inch HDR10+ with 60Hz refresh rate.Colour options are also impressive, with white, pink, blue or green to choose from. It also comes with all the goodies you can get from a TV running Samsung software. It connects over Wi-Fi and allows for 4K HDR streaming. You can connect a cable to your device, or screenshare (we’ll dive into that soon), or use it as a standalone streaming screen, in lieu of a TV.

Its official name is the 32-inch Smart Monitor M80B UHD (product code: LS32BM801UEXXY). The new series of monitors from Samsung is called Smart Monitor M8 and the current model of the monitor available is the M80B. It is a little overkill for just a monitor, however, and the price reflects that. If you’re after a 32-inch TV, as well as a second PC screen (and your budget is around $1,200), I would consider giving the Samsung M8 some serious thought.

I’ve always thought I didn’t need a monitor, but the Samsung M8 range has given me a compelling reason to reconsider. When it comes to my personal computer use, I mostly curl up on the lounge with an iPad while the TV plays in the background. BTW - prices are accurate and items in stock at the time of posting.įor some reason, I’ve worked from home since 2016 without a monitor for my laptop.
