The M8 is only 11.4mm-thick, making it significantly thinner than other models in the Samsung Smart Monitor range. But what we really love about this new monitor is the magnetic and moveable SlimFit camera. It can be attached to the monitor for video calls, with support for common video chat apps like Google Duo, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams.

Samsung is also integrating a SmartThings IoT Hub into the M8 which allows you to see a floor map of your various smart devices and control them directly from the smart monitor. The M8 also comes with a new feature called Workspace, which gathers work-related web services, like Microsoft 365, into an intuitive hub.

But the Samsung M8 is not only about work and productivity. It also includes Game Home, a new feature that turns it into a cloud game streaming monitor. Samsung said users will even be able to connect wireless controllers to the monitor for online gaming.
