However, I found this feature to be a pain to set up, requiring use of the SmartThings app. You seemingly only get full functionality when using a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and so will likely alienate the majority of its user base. Turn your Smart Monitor into a control center for the home by connecting it to your IoT home products with SmartThings. Relax by turning off the lights, pulling down the blinds and setting the thermostat to the perfect temperature all with the Smart Monitor for a perfectly relaxed evening. In addition to the Smart Monitor M8, Samsung also launched a Samsung High Resolution S8 (S80PB) at the Consumer Electronics Show this year. This 27-inch panel delivers pro-grade performance that’s targeted at designers and creative professionals. With 2.2Ch built-in speakers, the M8 provides richer, more realistic sounds for an immersive overall experience. The upgraded Adaptive Sound+ adjusts sound based on the type of content and noise levels within a user's environment, delivering refined and tailored audio that adapts in real-time. I’m disappointed with Samsung’s efforts when it comes to sustainability. Recycled plastics have not been used for the monitor’s construction, and there’s excessive plastic and polystyrene in the box. The M8 Smart Monitor also has a G rating in the Energy Efficiency Class, which is the worst possible score. This is a big disappointment, especially since Samsung has made such big eco-friendly strides for its smartphones and laptops. Screen

It looks almost identical to its 2022 predecessor, but it’s difficult to see where else Samsung could have improved. Little else has been upgraded, with Samsung refraining from making any tweaks to the 4K screen. That makes it difficult to justify upgrading between models, but which offers the best value for newcomers? After spending a couple of weeks with the Samsung M8 Smart Monitor (2023), here are my thoughts. Design

Initial setup is easy peasy, with the stand slotting effortlessly into the screen’s rear. You will need to screw the stand into its base, but the screw is included and only takes a matter of seconds to tighten. Once assembled, the monitor has a secure base, so you shouldn’t need to worry about accidental topples. No more switching around. With Automatic Source Switch Plus, your monitor detects newly connected devices as soon they're plugged in, and displays the correct signal. No more searching for the right input on the menu. Pictures with precision. UHD resolution ensures every piece of content is brought to life beautifully. HDR 10+ support with a billion colours and sRGB 99% creates brighter and darker scenes for more enhanced settings without losing any vivid detail, so you can enjoy content exactly as it was intended.
