Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced its latest Smart Monitor lineup, featuring the flagship Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF model) alongside the updated Smart Monitor M8 (M80F model) and M7 (M70F model). With the introduction of QD-OLED technology to the M9 and advanced AI features across the lineup, the new offerings provide a more personalized and connected screen for work and entertainment.

“The Smart Monitor series continues to evolve based on how people work, watch and play,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the introduction of QD-OLED and AI-powered enhancements, the M9 delivers a more responsive and refined screen experience — all within a single, versatile display.”

Smart Monitor M9: OLED Picture, Intelligent Performance

The Smart Monitor M9 introduces QD-OLED technology to the Smart Monitor lineup for the first time. Its 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel delivers deep contrast and vibrant colour, offering a more immersive visual experience across productivity, streaming and gaming. Samsung OLED Safeguard+ [1] helps maintain screen integrity over time with a proprietary cooling system designed to reduce the risk of burn-in. The M9 also features a Glare-Free[2] display to minimize reflections and ensure consistent visibility and comfort — even in bright lighting conditions.

The M9 is powered by AI Picture Optimizer[3], 4K AI Upscaling Pro[4] and Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) Pro, which work together to enhance picture and sound quality in real time based on content and surroundings. Whether users are watching, creating or multitasking, the display adapts automatically to deliver optimized performance.

The M9 also serves as a smart entertainment hub with access to popular streaming apps, Samsung TV Plus and Samsung Gaming Hub — which enables cloud-based gaming without a connected console or PC. With a 165Hz refresh rate[5], a 0.03ms response time [6]and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, the M9 supports smooth, fast-moving visuals ideal for high-performance use.

The M9 also features a slim metal design that blends premium aesthetics with functional form, creating a modern look that complements any workspace.

Recognizing its precise and reliable colour performance, the Smart Monitor M9 has achieved Pantone Validated certification[7]. This certification assures users that the M9 has passed the rigorous standards of testing and can replicate over 2,100 colours and more than 110 SkinTone shades from Pantone’s library. Paired with its brilliant QD-OLED display, the monitor ensures visuals appear just as content creators intended, providing confidence and clarity for any application.

Smart Monitor M8 and M7: Versatile Displays With AI Functionality and Enhanced Connectivity

The new Smart Monitor M8 and Smart Monitor M7 extend Samsung’s smart monitor experience to a broader audience, offering 32-inch 4K UHD screens with vibrant picture quality and built-in AI features. Equipped with Samsung’s advanced VA panel technology, both models deliver sharp detail and rich contrast, making them ideal for everyday productivity, streaming and much more.

Both displays support AI-powered discovery tools, including Click to Search.[8] These features help users explore content, retrieve information, and engage with their screen more intuitively, while Tizen OS Home personalizes recommendations and makes it easier to access frequently used services and inputs.

Designed for flexibility, all three models integrate with SmartThings[9], support Multi Control[10] between Samsung devices and offer Multi View for side-by-side working or entertainment. With Microsoft 365 [11]access, users can create and edit documents directly from the monitor without a PC, making the lineup a practical solution for modern work setups.

Ongoing Support and Availability

The Smart Monitor M9, M8 and M7 are available in 32-inch screen sizes and will begin rolling out to markets worldwide starting this month.[12]

The era of dull and lifeless desks, with black monitors and unsightly wires, is officially over. As people spend more time at home, they are more eager to personalize their home office. To provide users with a range of customization options to fit any lifestyle, Samsung Electronics has added four new colours to the Smart Monitor M8 lineup that can liven up any space.

The four colours — Warm White, Sunset Pink, Daylight Blue and Spring Green — were inspired by the theme, ‘Shades of Nature.’ These soft pastel colours can boost your mood at home, whether you want to feel calm and comfortable or fully energized.

Do you want to transform your ordinary desk into one containing playful colours and innovative features? Samsung suggests using one of the Smart Monitor M8’s four colours to create a personalized ‘deskterior,’ a portmanteau of ‘desk’ and ‘interior.’ Read on to discover how this colourful upgrade can refresh your desk space in style.

Invigorate Your Home Office With Spring Green

After a long day of work, treat your eyes to the Smart Monitor M8 in Spring Green. By picking up some office supplies in different shades of pastel green, you can turn your space into a playful and botanical-inspired sanctuary.

 
Deskterior Tip for Spring Green

• Try placing air-purifying plants on your desk to improve your mood after long working hours.
• Is keeping plants alive too difficult? Try decorating your wall with posters of plants instead for the same vibrant atmosphere but with less maintenance.

The Smart Monitor M8 handles all your necessary tasks without the need for a separate PC or laptop, allowing you to create a neat and clean deskterior. The Smart Monitor M8 allows you to search the Internet, check email and access Microsoft 365^[1] simply by connecting to Wi-Fi. Conveniently, you can continue your work by logging into your account and uploading files directly to the cloud. Notably, you can access your work desktop remotely and remain as agile and productive as if you were in the office.

Video conferencing while working from home is now a breeze, as the Smart Monitor M8 comes with a SlimFit camera which can be conveniently attached or detached from the monitor at any time. Additionally, Eye Saver Mode reduces blue light, the main culprit of eye fatigue, and Flicker Free technology ensures a comfortable viewing experience by lessening screen flickering. Not only does the design and colour of the Smart Monitor M8 minimize eye strain, but the display itself also helps protect your vision and improve work efficiency.

Enjoy Your Hobbies to the Fullest With Daylight Blue

With the Smart Monitor M8, you can decorate a space dedicated to your favourite hobbies, accompanied by the colour of Daylight Blue. Enhance your room with travel souvenirs, trinkets or celebrity merchandise in complementary shades of blue to create the ultimate deskterior that expresses your unique personality.

 
Deskterior Tip for Daylight Blue

• Dress up your plain white table with a checkered tablecloth to add a quick pop of colour and style to your home.
• Look for a colourful mousepad that adds beauty, personality and practicality to your space.

The Smart Monitor M8’s next-level connectivity with your mobile device can help you watch your favourite content on a bigger screen. Simply connect your smartphone to the Smart Monitor by using Tap View^[2] or Screen Mirroring. With a single click, you can be transported instantly to another country or your favourite singer’s concert, all thanks to the monitor’s large screen and rich picture quality. Samsung DeX^[3] also enables multitasking and transforms your smartphone into a touchpad. Using two screens at once, you can take an online drawing class or watch videos of your favourite music group on a larger display while still using your phone as a phone.

The Smart Monitor series also boasts Apple AirPlay2 integration^[4], which allows users to easily view movies, music and photos saved on their smartphones or laptops on the big screen.

Relax in Your Home Cinema With Warm White

After a busy day, one of the best ways to recharge and unwind is by streaming your favourite movies in a home cinema. For a cozy atmosphere, you can pair your monitor’s Warm White colour with wood accents to warm up your space and keep you feeling comfortable.

The Smart Monitor M8’s flat-back design with 11.4mm of thickness uses your space more effectively and maintains a minimalistic, café-like aesthetic — so it’s the ideal place to enjoy a sweet treat while binging on your favourite shows.

 
Deskterior Tip for Warm White

• Use small pieces of décor to keep distractions to a minimum while watching a movie.
• Fill your space with calming colours and wood tones for a comfortable feel.

You can build your perfect home cinema using only the Smart Monitor M8, as it provides a wide range of OTT services^[5] such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV on a large screen via Wi-Fi. There’s also no need for a keyboard or mouse while watching a movie — the Samsung Smart Monitor’s remote control allows you to use the up, down, left and right buttons on the remote to control the mouse cursor from your sofa or bed.

Other features that make the viewing experience even more satisfying include the device’s UHD resolution, HDR10+ support, 2.2Ch stereo speakers and Adaptive Sound+ which automatically analyses the monitor’s surroundings to optimize its sound quality. Are you worried about your posture while watching TV? The Smart Monitor M8 includes a height adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt functionality, allowing users to find the perfect position for binge-watching.

Celebrate Spring With Sunset Pink

For fans of flowers, the Smart Monitor M8 in Sunset Pink instantly transports you to a cherry blossom festival in full bloom. Adding a white vase of beautiful flowers to your desk creates a bright and optimistic atmosphere that’s ideal for any home.

 
Deskterior Tip for Sunset Pink

• Pair your monitor with a white or light-coloured vase and other accessories, which go best with pink.
• Use round, soft-shaped trinkets to create a kind, gentle and comfortable atmosphere.

If you’re inspired by the floral scent and craving a song for the spring season, the Smart Monitor M8 is a ideal solution. Even if your monitor is turned off, you can still play a perfect song for spring by talking to Bixby^[6]. The Smart Monitor M8’s built-in microphone lets you manage your device with just your voice so you can focus on your hobbies, like writing or drawing, instead of using a keyboard or a mouse.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M8 complements your daily life and personal style to make your space more colourful. Regardless of your daily routine, you can use the Smart Monitor M8’s expanded colour options to customize your space and express your individuality. From hobbies to home cinema, the Smart Monitor M8 can transform your boring desk into a vibrant deskterior, ideal for adding a splash of colour to any space.

Samsung Electronics Canada recently announced its latest Smart Monitor series, the M8, featuring an upgraded, stylish design. The versatile new M8 delivers Samsung’s iconic slim design in four new colours – Warm White, Sunset Pink, Daylight Blue, and Spring Green – available in 32-inches with UHD resolution and a SlimFit Cam.

First launched in November 2020, Samsung’s Smart Monitor series is a family of do-it-all screens designed for modern day users who demand a product that offers both functionality and entertainment at home. The M8 is not only a traditional monitor: it also allows users to enjoy a variety of OTT services^[1], including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV via Wi-Fi without having to connect to a PC or TV.

When it comes to style, the Smart Monitor M8 offers both space and work efficiency in an ultra-stylish design. The new model is 11.4mm thin, about three-quarters slimmer than the previous Samsung model.

Featuring a sophisticated flat-back design, the M8’s range of colours complements any setting based on the user’s personal preferences.

“From home offices to entertainment hubs to gaming displays, monitors are being used now more than ever,” said Pat Bugos, VP/Head of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Canada. “The new Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is capable of matching different consumer lifestyles and preferences. With a colour palette of four different colour options, the M8 provides a modern, minimalist look that suits any environment or setup design.”

When it comes to productivity, the Smart Monitor M8 has it all. The M8 provides an excellent home office environment without using a PC by connecting to various IT devices through the upgraded Smart Hub. The Workspace User Interface offers all services needed to work on one screen, helping users wirelessly connect to a Windows or Mac PC and efficiently use an extensive range of useful features, including Samsung DeX, Apple AirPlay 2^[2] and Microsoft 365^[3] cloud service, as well as mirroring content from a compatible smartphone to the M8.

Additionally, the Smart Monitor M8 has a magnetic and removable SlimFit Cam that can attach to the monitor while keeping desk space neat without any unsightly wires. The SlimFit Cam also features face tracking and auto zoom functions, swiftly identifying a person’s face when on screen and automatically focusing on the subject. In other words, it can follow and capture an individual speaker, a great option for active presentations or livestreaming.

The Smart Monitor M8 has an IoT hub called SmartThings Hub, where users can connect all their IoT devices wirelessly. The SmartThings app^[4] allows users to track IoT devices throughout the house easily with the app’s intuitive control panel, thus highlighting all information provided by other devices connected to the M8 such as a light switch and plug power^[5].

Equipped with a high-sensitivity Far Field Voice microphone, the assistant controls Bixby and Amazon Alexa using voice commands. In addition, the microphone uses an Always On Voice function, displaying conversation information on screen when Bixby is activated, even if the monitor screen is turned off.

To accompany the monitor’s wide array of features, the display offers adaptive picture technology, enhancing viewer comfort by automatically adjusting display brightness and colour temperature. The M8 also includes a height adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt functionality, allowing users to find an ideal position for every project, movie night or study session.

In January 2022, the Smart Monitor M8 earned CES Innovation Awards Honouree from the CTA (Consumer Technology Association) in recognition of a wide array of its display technologies.

The Samsung Smart Monitor M8 is currently available for pre-order in Canada ahead of its official Canadian launch on April 20^th. For more information, please visit Samsung.com.

The Remote Access feature will also be updated to ‘PC on Screen’ in June, enabling simple and secure connectivity between the Smart Monitor and external PCs for improved usability.

As part of Samsung’s long-term sustainability program, the M7 43-inch includes an all-in-one solar powered remote made from recycled plastic, delivering eco-friendly efficiency with charging from indoor sunlight, lightbulbs, or a USB-C connection. In addition, the remote for other models has been partially crafted from recycled plastic for reduced carbon footprint and enhanced sustainability.

Utilizing the same features as the first-generation lineup, the Samsung Smart Monitor lineup provides numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones. Users can connect their personal mobile devices with just a quick tap using Tap View[3], Mirroring or with Apple AirPlay 2.
