In case you are considering the M8, go for it, it is a good monitor. I tried it alongside the Studio Display and although I kept the Studio Display and returned the M8 I can still recommend it, the image quality is excellent and the price is incredible for what you get, such a good value.

The Studio Display wins in a few categories though, the main one is audio, the six speakers are clear, loud and crips, it is also more sturdy, and you can change settings directly from your Mac. In the M8 you will need a third-party app to make changes to settings, otherwise you will have to use the remote control. The M8 also has a little wobble, not a big deal in a desktop setup but it's there if you care about that.

This sale is ok, but the 5k S9 was as low as $850 during the holidays and was under a grand for a while before that. $1200 is a lot to pay for a monitor that was recently nearly $500 cheaper.

That price on that Samsung 5K is nuts. I'm sure its a nice monitor but damn, that's a stiff price. I just picked up a second 28" 4K monitor for my M2 Pro Mini setup for $250 at Best Buy. Yes, I know my monitor(s) aren't 5K nor do they have the extra bells and whistles like the one I mentioned. But it is 4K and it looks great for less than 1/4 of the price.

I wouldn't spend my money on any Sansung monitor. Several years ago they used bad capacitors in their monitors and they knew it. The monitors broke shortly after the warranty ran out and there was no standing behind their product from Samsung. Buyer beware!

You can buy a refurbished Apple Studio Display for only $150 more than this sale price on the Samsung S9: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/accessories

5K is 60% more than 4K in resolution. So, it makes a lot of difference and I like the 5K for programming.

Still rocking my 2017 Samsung 40” 4k monitors. One running Windows, the other running MacOS. Cold dead hands…

Some sale! The S9 was available (new) for $900 on Amazon 2 weeks ago.

I don't understand this promo. I got the S9 for $850 during the holidays, that's massive than what they are offering now

600 nits is where this thing caps out. the base model MacBook Pro has a 1600 nit display, and includes a powerful computer. When are display companies going to step up?

*grumpy for paying for a Pro Display XDR that only hits 60hz. haha

Good price for Samsung monitors. Good if one wants to have a 27" display.

So long as you don't care about 5k (and no one does outside of some Mac users) you can easily find monitors today that match the image quality of the MiniLED XDR screen on the Macbook Pro. QD-OLED, MiniLED, ultra wide, 2.5k, 4k, 5k2k, 144hz, 240hz, and prices ranging from well under a grand to several grand. You have choices... as long as you don't mind not having 5k.
