Why this all-in-one screen makes sense in context
The M8 is a prime example of that. It features speakers and a webcam, so it can easily replace your desktop monitor or TV between video calls. You’re getting a 32-inch 4K panel with HDR10+ support and a remote in the box, plus Samsung’s Tizen interface for streaming apps, all for a price cheaper than that of buying both a TV and monitor separately. A $300 discount on an all-in-one screen makes it particularly attractive for small apartments, dorm rooms, and minimal home offices.
With a 32-inch screen and 3840 x 2160 resolution, the M8 has something like 140 pixels per inch—an excellent balance of sharp text and crisp visuals without all the scaling headaches. It’s large enough to function as a compact TV when viewed from a distance of a few feet, but proportioned for a desk. The panel is 60Hz, which makes it suitable for productivity, streaming, and some casual gaming.
A true TV replacement with built-in apps and remote
With Tizen, the M8 can act like a modern smart TV even when your computer is off. All of the best streaming services are built right into the screen, controlled with an included remote and voice-based commands. The interface is fast, familiar to many TV watchers, and obviates the need for a separate streaming stick.
It also plugs into the Samsung Gaming Hub, which centralizes cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce NOW, and Amazon Luna. Connect a Bluetooth controller and stream games without a console—good for compact spaces or easy setups for casual gaming.
The Power Of A Workstation, Without The Wires
From your desk: USB-C video input makes the screen a single-cable setup for compatible laptops, providing display data and power while charging and avoiding extra clutter. HDMI is also along for the ride (for desktops and consoles), so switching between work and play should be a cinch. Multi View modes enable dual-source layouts—think a laptop on one side and a streaming app on the other—that are ideal for meetings, research, or watching dashboards.
With a minimalist design, the display seamlessly makes itself at home even when it’s not being used. It has slim, narrow bezels and a clean stand that make it look more like a high-end TV than just another office monitor. The built-in speakers are ideal for daily video calls and shows, and just as important, there’s no need to have an external audio device connected all the time. Plus, the included remote makes changing volume and sources quick.
Who it’s for: students, professionals and small spaces
If you live in a studio, work on-again, off-again in an office, or just want fewer devices in your setup, the M8 is tailor-made. Students may reserve it for papers and Prime Video. Professionals can work in a full 4K workspace during the day, and stream at night. As a kitchen TV, guest bedroom, or small den unit, it offers the best of both worlds without missing much in between.
Before You Buy, These Are the Factors to Consider
This is a 60Hz screen, so the very competitive will want to hunt down an even faster 120Hz or 144Hz panel. And despite HDR10+ support, the color and brightness are optimized for mixed use rather than color-critical production work. To most people, however, these trade-offs will be reasonable for its all-in-one versatility.
Industry watchers have observed a rising appetite for screens that can serve multiple purposes as hybrid work endures, including larger screens with higher resolutions for better productivity, according to IDC analysts. The M8 slots in with both that trend and a standard smart TV stack, which is why this deal seems like more than just a sale—it’s a timely dig at an earlier era when TVs were simpler and less flexible.
Bottom line: a polished all-in-one at a compelling price
Priced at $399.99, the Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is undercutting the cost of buying a 4K monitor and streaming device separately, but it combines both experiences with less wiring for a more polished feel. If you have been hoping for a sign that you should consolidate your desk space, and your entire living room, into one well-designed screen: this is it.
