[@philipb1889]

Great review! Thank you. I love this monitor but I never purchased the M8 because, in essence, it's so close to perfect, but missed the mark completely. 1) 32" 4K is great but color accuracy is shit 2) VERY SLIM design with minimal ports is amazing, but why an ugly ribbed pattern, no VESA mount, a IR sensor at the bootom sticking out, a fat lower bezel and overall cheap looking plastic and color??! I just wish they made something that looks like the studio display from the front (glass and homogenous bezels) with only USBc and USBa and HDMI. 3) Smart TV is useless if you're using this computer as an adult who probably wants it in his office and has a PC connected to it. 4) I don't understand why most manufacturers don't realize the importance of the esthetics of the monitor, which this monitor has so much potential for.

[@alexkarthik1064]

You shouldn't compare this to the apple studio display because that's an silly comparison because of the price and screen resolution. When I started comparing this to most monitors available in the market with either 32" 4k or similar descriptions, I realized 2 things. Not many 4k 32" monitors to compare and this monitor is extremely unique in category and the term "SMART MONITOR" doesn't do it justice, it's way more than that. If you take your time and understand what makes this "ALL IN ONE" or "SMART MONITOR" then you'll understand exactly what you're paying for. For "GAMERS" this isn't a gaming monitor and frankly if you aren't playing FPS games then ALMOST ANY game will be fine on 60hz. It's true.

It's always rhe white people fanboying and Girling over apple. Checkout marquee brown he is an honest reviewer

[@morells09]

Not really… studio display is not anywhere near $2100 and is likely the only monitor Josh had on hand to compare it to. The webcam comparison also likely wasn’t much of a comparison… he was just saying that Apple’s solution makes more sense, and that Samsung should have opted for an option to use one of their smartphones as the camera on this monitor instead of this modular approach.

[@MichaKersloot]

Hmm, Apple studio Monitor is € 1800, so 2.5 times instead of 3 times. And it does look like he is comparing the image quality and especially the calibration between the two monitors. And you are probably an Apple user yourself? I do think so, because you assume by having an Samsung monitor, you also need a Samsung phone to use together. Having multiple (or all) devices from the same manufacturer is the case in the Apple ecosystem, but in the non-Apple world you can't assume a buyer of this Samsung display will have a Samsung phone to pair with it. It's a free world out there where people have stuff from all kind of brands, so that solution only fits Apple.

[@morells09]

@@MichaKersloot $1600 USD actually, I can't help foreign pricing but it's a moot point anyway because the studio display is a bad value regardless of region. I own and use some Apple products, mainly for my phone and smart home, but have never used or owned a Mac or anything in their lineup of computers and peripherals. I also did not assume that you need to own a Samsung phone to use a Samsung monitor, I think you missed my point entirely. I'm saying that Josh alluded to potentially creating an ecosystem benefit for Samsung had they used their smartphone LIKE Apple did with theirs for a drastically improved webcam experience instead of an add-on module approach.

[@DavidaThatch]

This review ended up being a comparison between the M8 and the Studio display, which (as you mentioned) differ greatly in price. You mentioned other brands selling monitors that are more comparable to this one- why not compare it to those?

[@slaxlhabacon29]

Exactly

[@lloydquintana9851]

Shouldn't you compare this Monitor with a monitor that is at the same price range? Comparing, I can buy this now at 500-550$ btw. Comparing it to a monitor that is 3 times the price isn't really a good comparison. Of course the Studio display will be better innit? You also compare the camera to an apple feature that require an iphone which is another what, 900$? Of course the camera will be WAY BETTER. Good review but not a good comparison, at least next time find something that actually stands up to it in terms of price. Or maybe, suggest a monitor that costs around the same price. I can sense personal bias with this review.

[@peterminator21]

$379 NOW

[@slaxlhabacon29]

You lost me when you compared it to apple's studio display. The price range plays a big factor in this device. When you compared it to Apple Studio, it made me think that your past comments about the M8 are because you are expecting it to perform like a device that is 3x its price.

[@winterroll5255]

You pointed out some great drawbacks of m8, but I felt the comparisons were really unfair. Comparing it with studio display, which significantly lacks in features, is in another price category and is clearly aimed at a different user base is quite meaningless imo

[@jerrelandmichelle]

He compares the monitor camera to an Iphone and not the lack luster camera from the Apple Studio

[@lilromi]

That's what I'm saying comparing a sub $1000 monitor to a monitor that costs almost twice as much is unfair in so many ways

[@smallalsostrong]

Even tho comparing to a LG $500 monitor the color is still really really bad. I'm currently a M8 owner

[@RussHodes]

Excellent review. I love mine and it's a standby TV. It's BIG and light weight, plenty bright and it has a non-glare screen. The USB-c rechargeable remote is very handy, but the power button on the back works, too, in a pinch. I took a chance on it as a extension monitor, but also because it has a veta mount and I may end up using it as a smart TV on my wall. Why not, it has a decent remote and built in apps, including Netflix. As a computer monitor, it's a pain because it defaults to a smart TV mode when every my computer goes to sleep. I have to go into the menu, select MEDIA menu, and reconnect it to the computer. This is probably because I have it connected with the HDMI cable, instead of USB-C, which is the proper way to connect it, but my computer never had one. Also, in HDMI mode, I can only use it at 30 Hz and that means there is a lot of lag in the mouse movements. However, video has been find and I'm happy with the color. For games it really should be a 240 Hz monitor. It was clearly refined from some early smart TV/monitor devices. It only has USB-c and a mini-HDMI connection option. The power brick suck, but the cables were long enough. It comes with a short USB-C cable (which is fine), but a 5' HDMI/min-HDMI, which is just the right size. And, yes, it seems to be top heavy and wobbly with the new stand design. The biggest disappointment is the video camera - it's just terrible and it's fixed - you can't move it up or down or sideways. It just sits there and all I can see is my hat ! I use this as a secondary monitor and I was disappointed that it can't change resolutions. But, that may be more of a problem with a 10 year old graphics card than with the monitor. Speakers ? Weak. WiFI or Bluetooth speakers are awful and often out of sync. Bad idea. Needs an audio out and a digital audio out, too. Packaging was very smart and minimal waste. Instructions were printed in many languages and in such a small font that I could not read them - I literally had to go on-line to get the user manual. But, on the other hand, it was rather intuitive on how to set it up. Yes, set-up took 20 minutes, but that included creating a Samsung account, registering it on-line, and connecting it to he house wifi. The remote made that part go much faster. But, what fun it is as a WiFi TV. Is it worth the retail prices of $600 ? No Amazon price of $460 - yes, that a fair price for a decent 32" monitor or smart TV.

[@MogTech]

Are you seriously comparing it to the Apple Studio? It seems like there's a misunderstanding in your comparison. While you may have switched to an Apple display because it's evidently better than the M8, it's not fair to compare the Studio directly with Samsung. Disliking the video...

[@JorgenAamodt]

This spring I picked up an M7 for less than $200. The monitor has it’s good and bad sides but it really is a bargain for that price. Would not spend $600-$800 personally though, except if you really need the all the features in one package.

This guy is such an apple sheep it's ridiculous He he contradicts himself so much it's hilarious check out the time stamps I left first he at the beginning of the video he says this is a $700 monitor so he's complaining about the price of this monitor okay fair enough it's on sale for 5:49 so that's pretty damn good has a bunch of features blah blah blah anyway so then he later goes on to just say yeah instead of this monitor I want to just use my Mac studio dude that thing cost f****** two grand and then you that then you have to buy your your monitor itself That's another two grand or around there so let's say roughly about 3,500 so this is five times the cost of the M8 which can operate standalone and it doesn't incredible job and this guy cries about the price like get the f*** out of here man If you want to buy something expensive you're going to hopefully get good quality and then and then he says oh the camera on it it's 1080p but it's not that good and then he shows in like a dimly litch room but then when he goes to show he doesn't even show an example he says oh I like the fact that that we can just attach our iPhones to our laptop because Apple doesn't want to f****** fix having a 720p camera on $1,000 laptop or a $$1,500 laptop or $2,000 laptop they have $720p camera on their laptops and he's complaining about a 1080p camera and then he doesn't even show an actual photo of of him getting recorded by the freaking camera but then okay so by his logic let's buy this this MacBook pro or whatever that that's $1,500 bucks or so right or I think 1,400 at the lowest configuration okay now because as a s***** camera I have to buy $1,000 iPhone to put on the top of it oh that's a brilliant idea sounds f****** retarded okay so that's what is that okay we're looking about $2,500 okay that's before tax right okay this is the stupidest s*** I've ever heard what why do people do this I see people compare the like the Kindle fire HD 10 which is a $150 tablet to the iPad pro they say it's not any iPad pro do the f****** iPad pro was 900 to $1,000 and then in most cases the fire hd10 goes on to 75 bucks so that's more than 10 times the price of a freaking iPad pro and yet they they have this idiot mentality like will is not worth it's not the same even though it's like 3 or 5 times or 10 times the price but it should be f****** morons

I’m a longtime Apple fan and my thunderbolt display recently kicked the bucket. I can’t afford to purchase the new cinema display so I decided to go with the M8 since it was on sale for $400 in total. Would you still say that $400 this monitors worth it if I don’t plan to use a smart TV part?

same boat. m8 been on sale for $380-400 all holiday season. feel worth it right now.

I actually had to order a replacement one because my first one arrive with some dead pixels on the screen and Oreos base or whatever was not working correctly. Replacement arrived and works rather well, but it’s audio quality still not as good as a standard TV, but for lesbian combination, and only 400 in total, totally worth it.

[@biasedthoughts]

I'm not sure this is a helpful review. I just got it for 360 on the Samsung site. Sure the Studio display is awesome but it's actually 4x as much.

still tempted to try it out- any idea if the USB can be used for speakers?

[@kupliann]

I’ve been using it for almost 3 months and I’m gonna say, it’s worth the money - but there’re small disadvantages as for me. 1) It’s 4k, but 60hz - would’ve been good to have 120hz, but it would affect the price more. Two sides of the coin 😅 2) when you use windows laptop and hook it up w/ hdmi - the camera doesn’t work 🥲 it works with laptops that can share screen through usb-c, like MacBooks (or with Airplay). With windows laptops you have to use the usb-c cable from the box and hook the camera up with the laptop separately, so you have more cables - hdmi for screen and usb-c for camera. That’s a bit annoying 🥲 3) not very bothersome but still - if you need to change any settings for the monitor (change the brightness or the volume of the monitor), you have to use the remote, you can’t do it on the keyboard. Otherwise, it’s a good monitor, especially for the price!

[@kupliann]

As for some moments mentioned in the video - I will actually defend it 😅 1) “the sound is not as the studio display, not good for a lot of tv watching” - the sound is like a regular tv, to be honest, so you will be good, lol 😭 you also can use the built in “sound enhancing” option, which makes it more loud and rich. 2) ports reaching is like all others monitors that have them on the back, you get used very quickly and it’s not that big of a deal

@@CraigJonesFluffer you’ve to play around with settings a bit, but it’s good for average use like watching some content or playing games.

Hi everyone, have anyone figured out how to turn on the Dynamic Brightness on the M8? Please explain 🙏🏻 mine is greyed out and unable to turn on 😢

"I prefer a smart TV over a smart monitor because I value the larger screen size, even if both offer 1080p resolution. While monitors are typically designed for gaming and video editing, they don't offer significant advantages for my needs. A smart monitor would only make sense for me if I lived in a very small room where a TV wouldn't fit."

This should be titled: why should go for Apple Studio instead of the much cheaper Samsung M8.

Studio display has screen glitching issues after awhile. Nobody talks about these issues because they work for Apple, many alternative monitors are better than overpriced apple and last longer

[@chedinbuildsstudio5144]

This video has a section about picture quality and how weak the M8 is in color accuracy but doesn't describe how inferior the M8 is to Studio Display . No calibration report . Not even describing how off the panel is (e.g. bluish / pinkish tint) . Why are you so lazy in reviews ?

[@riginallyme]

I love mine! 🎧 headphones for the sounds. I have a camera on my phone. Mic quality is decent. I stopped listening after the mic and picture quality. This isn't a phone lol

[@emh111171]

BUT... What about this monitor if I can get it for $350 (or $321 used) from Amazon now??? Is it a good deal/but now?

[@6MonthsLater]

Depends on what you’re using it for. As a tv/occasional computer monitor then yes, I’d say at that price it’s a pretty good deal. As a studio display substitute, even at this price I wouldn’t consider it a good deal. - Josh

Can someone suggest an actual computer that works well with this monitor? I bought only the monitor bit now need a computer 😅

[@HiFiInsider]

i like to try this

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

I had the M8 for a week and it was absolutely awful. The setup was the worst of any display device including tv's I have ever encountered. It took 3 days and many phones and researching. Not worth it from the beginning. The panel is a fair at best VA panel and lastly the whole build quality is subpar. O' and I got it for under $400 and I still couldn't wait to return it immediately.

[@therealvoltix]

How did you get it under $400???

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

@@therealvoltix Best Buy on sale and open box unit. That’s the combo sale + open box.

its $400 now do you think it is worth it? :)

[@PatrickDKing]

So you're using the apple studio display instead...in other words you prefer the $2300+ monitor over the $200+ monitor with TV functions... ::eye rollz:: Well gee, wouldn't we all... lol

[@cobaltblue5523]

3:19 so instead of you know fixing to send 720 pixel camera on the $1,000 plus laptops that Apple has they say oh hey just get an iPhone stick your phone on top of your computer so another $1,000 and then if you have a call you know you got to take your iPhone off on your computer but yeah Samsung's 1080p camera is not as good as $1,000 iPhone so that's $1,000 for an iPhone and then how much was it for the MacBook we talk about a backup pro is at what another 1500 2 grand so we're talking about almost $3,000 on Apple products because an Apple doesn't want to fix their 720p camera but you don't like to talk about that but how much is the the studio you just mentioned wasn't that like what two grand two grand it was was it I don't even know I know it's expensive If you complain about in the beginning a price of $700 but it's on sale right now for what was it $549 this is this is why Apple sheep are the best

[@dwoodog]

this monitor is currently on sale for $600, and just checking the apple 32 inch is over $6000!!!!!

[@DUCKusDuckSkibidi]

Why compare it to the Studio Display?🤨🙄 You will definitely love the studio display when you see and hear it live. Who wouldn't? Make a more realistic comparison so that you'd be more credible!

[@fatcrruise6508]

the only reason i will buy this just to watch tv because I already own a monitor

[@gutorossetti7373]

Alright, so I know what I'm not buying... but the video doesn't offer a suggestion for someone who actually needs the intersection of computer monitor and tv AND cares about the quality more than the aesthetic :(

[@fodiographer]

Such a waste of time this review 😡 why not compare it to other 32 inch monitors in the same price category. I am not buying the Apple Studio display ok. It’s too expensive and 27 inch is just a bit too tiny for me.

[@Reform3d]

Thanks for the review. While the smart TV features are cool, the negatives you mention are significant and too great for me to overlook. If Samsung makes a successor, I hope they address the concerns you’ve raised.

[@harryp3804]

And add a 100% price increase in which case you'll just buy the Mac? 😂

If Samsung had make a 3D print stand for their monitor so you can use a Galaxy note as main camera Apple fanboys would say 1)overkill 2)gimmick 3)incompetent Samsung cannot add a decent web camera. Apples gimmicks are innovative...
