Samsung Announces Updated iMac-Style Smart Monitor M8 With HDR10+, Portrait Orientation, and New 27-Inch Model

What size is that M7 monitor? 4K is a measure of the total number of pixels. If you know that and know the size, you can infer the DPI from that. Any 27" or 32" monitor that's only using 4K worth of pixels is going to look crappier.
Studio Display: 600 nits, 5K
Samsung Display: 400 nits, 4K
For those who only care about good enough, the Samsung is a deal.
4K 27” looks like absolute garbage on MacOS due to the way MacOS handles scaling. 27” requires 5K for integer scaling.
I wish Apple would improve their scaling or manufacturers would make 5K displays. Sadly, neither of these things ever seem to happen.

DEAL BREAKER: NO WIRED AUDIO OUTPUT (HDMI-ARC/3.5mm)
It's not needed if the built-in speakers are of high enough quality. Obviously to keep the price low it's not easy to provide, so the simplest solution is to provide an audio output port which costs next to nothing and let the user to use whatever they want.
Bluetooth is always undesirable as there's lag, connection stability issues, not to mention limited quality of the output.

Took me several seconds to realie that it wasn't I who posted that because of the avatar.
I agree that 60 Hz is a bit slow and at least 120 Hz is nice even if gaming isn't the main thing the display is used for.
Hasn’t been true for years. And if you have an old machine… you just choose the Looks Like 1080p for a 2x2 scaling.
Funny - you got the same pic (i got it from the inet). About the Monitor; 60Hz-Days are over (my first Monitor in the 90s had already 75Hz...) If i woul'd game, i probably had one w/ 240Hz, but 120Hz are the minimum. Better for the eyes and moving content like scrolling or movies works like a charm. My favorite is a (top-of-the-line) Samsung QLed-TV. 4-8K@120Hz. I work with 55". Nice ;-)Took me several seconds to realie that it wasn't I who posted that because of the avatar.

Okay, but even in this press release you can find below the table of specifications with support of 100x100 Wall mount for all models.
I was simply referring to aesthetics.
As I said, I think it looks better than the iMac.
Looks like the S9 is finally coming... Samsung product page with full specs is now live, albeit no price or date yet.
