FULL STORY
======================================================================

Samsung revealed its new lineup of smart monitors for 2023, the M8, M7, and 
M5 models. These monitors are not only meant for productivity but for 
creative work and entertainment, as well. 

 All three models will be available in 32 and 27-inch sizes and can rotate 90 
degrees into portrait mode. The M8 and M7 have a flat, super slim back that's 
just 11.39mm thick, and both support color coverage up to 99% sRGB color 
gamut. The M8 has a unique SlimFit camera with FHD resolution and it includes 
video conferencing features like Auto Framing, which keeps users in the 
center of the frame. 

The M8 will have UHD resolution and 400nit brightness and is available in 
several colors: Warm White, Daylight Blue, Sunset Pink, and Spring Green. The 
M7 also has UHD resolution and 300nit brightness and comes in Warm White, 
while the M5 has full HD resolution and comes in Black or White. 

The monitor comes with applications and features like My Contents which, 
according to Samsung, lets the monitor display photos, calendar, and weather 
from your phone, provided it's within Bluetooth range. Theres also a Samsung 
Gaming Hub to play games, some of the best streaming services made available 
through the monitor, and a SmartThings Hub that connects, controls, and 
manages hundreds of compatible connected devices. 

The M8, M7, and M5 smart monitors will launch in June 2023 on Samsungs 
official online store as well as select retailers. Samsung can do better 

The new M8, M7, and M5 smart monitors are a refresh of Samsungs previous 
versions, which we reviewed in depth in 2022. Back then, we gave the Samsung 
M8 smart monitor a very favorable rating  four out of five stars  thanks to 
it being flexible in its use and feature-rich. However, we did find several 
flaws. 

In general, while we loved the color options, features, and 4K resolution, we 
found that the monitor doesn't feel as sturdy as it should, the image quality 
is good but not as exceptional as you'd expect, and the smart TV experience 
is mixed. These are significant concerns and held back this monitor from 
scoring even higher. 

The negative that stands out to me the most is the flimsiness, which is 
completely unacceptable for a product thats supposed to be a premium one. 
Hopefully, with this refresh, Samsung will elevate the M8 to one of the best 
monitors out there.
