Samsung’s 2023 Smart Monitor lineup features upgrades that maximise productivity and create more personalised experiences

May 23, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the global launch of its full 2023 Smart Monitor lineup[1]. The new M8, M7, and M5 Smart Monitors (Model Name: M80C, M70C, M50C) from Samsung enable users to tailor their monitor to their unique style and needs, as they watch, play, and work.

“We are raising the bar for Smart Monitors globally with our new lineup and especially our enhanced M8 model,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Within a single monitor, users can enjoy the best of entertainment and gaming, productivity, design, and personalised convenience and comfort.”

Elegant designs for every style and space

The full lineup is comprised of nine versatile monitors to meet the needs and styles of a wide range of users. The M8, M7, and M5 Smart Monitors come in a variety of colours and sizes. The M8 and M7 models are available in 32-inches, while the M5 model is available in both 32- and 27-inches. The M8 with UHD resolution and 400nit brightness is available in the UK in Warm White and Spring Green. The M7 with UHD resolution and 300nit brightness comes in Warm White while the M5 with Full HD resolution comes in a sleek Black or White.

Introduced with a new Iconic Slim Design, the M8 and M7 models are super slim, measuring 11.39mm at the thinnest point on the monitor. To elevate the look of the monitor and the room surrounding it, an organic, chic herringbone pattern has been applied to the back of both the M8 and M7 models. The height-adjustable stand with tilt support helps M8 users adjust the angle whenever they need to, while creating a clutter-free environment. The screen can also pivot 90 degrees to reduce the fatigue of scrolling down long files.

Monitors that redefine smart entertainment

The 2023 Smart Monitor M8 has received multiple upgrades and feature enhancements from the previous generation. Thanks to 4K resolution, HDR 10+[2], and 400nit brightness, the M8 delivers brilliant, vivid pictures to offer the best of smart entertainment in a monitor. M8 users can enjoy easy access to Samsung Gaming Hub[3], the all-in-one streaming platform, as well as Smart Hub for services such as Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube. Both the M8 and M7 also support colour coverage up to 99% sRGB colour gamut to bring all content to life in brilliant colour for designers and creators.

Upgraded monitors for maximum productivity

The 2023 lineup has been enhanced to make remote work seamless and effortless. The PC-less workspace allows remote access by wirelessly connecting to and mirroring PCs. The M8 has a magnetic and removable camera so users can connect wirelessly with no additional purchase necessary. Its SlimFit camera[4] supports FHD resolution and video conferencing features*. Additionally, Multi View has been upgraded, and now allows you to use Microsoft 365 and the Browser app in full screen mode to reduce switching between apps[5].

To enhance the interface of all the 2023 Smart Monitors, mouse and keyboard control functionality has been added to many apps, including SmartThings and Smart Hub. Users can now maintain full control, while exploring their favourite content without needing a remote.

Next-level monitors with new personalised features

Users can easily control all their in-home IoT devices from a single monitor thanks to the built-in IoT Hub, supporting Zigbee and Thread[6]. The M8 and M7 both include built-in voice assistants, including Bixby and Amazon Alexa[7], enabling users to control the monitor with their voice. Far-field voice is also supported in the M8 and M7 models with a built-in mic, allowing users to speak directly to the monitor.

The new My Contents feature, now available across the 2023 Smart Monitor lineup, allows users to quickly access helpful information. When the monitor is on standby mode and detects a registered smartphone through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), the screen lights up with the user’s photos, weather and more at a glance. The monitor resumes standby mode when the smartphone is out of range.
