Samsung this week opened up pre-orders for its newest collection of monitors, including the new 32-inch Smart Monitor M9 (M90SF), and the updated 32-inch Smart Monitor M8 (M80F) and 32-inch/43-inch Smart Monitor M7 (M70F). When you pre-order these monitors at Samsung or Amazon, you'll receive up to $300 in credit from each retailer.

I tried a M series monitor by Samsung. I was greatly disappointed. I liked some of the smartness, but as a work monitor it couldn't do PIP (side-by-side). I returned it for a Dell that is far better.

Edit: To clarify, the Samsung monitor I bought would do SBS, but the two images were letterboxed. The Dell splits into two 1920x2160 displays.

Which Dell did you end up going with? I have the Samsung myself too and dislike it.
 
Samsung is hilarious. Over-price the monitor by around $700 and add a $300 Amazon gift card to make it appear like a deal. Good grief, Samsung. Everyone knows this will be under $1k shortly. Also, 165hz good grief. Last year’s model was 240hz. Shame.

I have the G80SD 32.5" 4k 240Hz screen that I use as my primary display on a PC and run it side by side with an Apple Studio Display on Mac.

I love the OLED picture quality and refresh rate, it smokes the ASD. I know the ASD is 5k and has greater pixel density but I don't really notice it in day to day use.

That being said, the software on it is a nightmare, I can't stand it, its buggy (choose an input and it goes to the monitors home view), it's beyond SLOW and the remote sucks.
 
I was interested in that QD-OLED, until I looked at the specs. $1200+ for 250nits of brightness is insane. There's should be rules on what you can call HDR. Even with the deeps blacks of QD-OLED, 250nits is less than a good sndard definition. I have a Lenovo with a 400nit P3 OLED, and my MacBook Pro with an 1600nit P3 LCD is much better at HDR most of the time ("most of the time, because you can really see the ghosted of the dimming zones at times. And once you notice it, it's hard to ignore it).

From what I've seen over the years, you really need at least 1000nits to have good, not great) HDR (assume not everthing else about the display doesn't suck). As far as just using a monitor, anything more than $200 needs to hit at least 350-400nits to be good for SDR.
 
What are the reasons a person would buy a "smart monitor"? I'm honestly trying to find out who and why they would need such a product, compared to a regular monitor of course. This is the first I'm hearing of these things.

I regret buying the Samsung M80D. It doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack, so the only way to connect external speakers while streaming is via Bluetooth. It seems the M90 model has the same limitation.
 
I just need a display that has color accuracy, even blacks, and can keep up for years. I dont need all the gimmicks for no reason. oh and a detachable power cable 👀 studio display 👀
