The Smart Hub feature is available on the Samsung Smart Monitor M8. It enables users to watch 4K HDR content on major VoD platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV. 

Users need not connect an external device such as a computer or television to utilize the intelligent display. Users may also gain free access to Samsung TV Plus content, which requires no downloads or registration and tailored entertainment suggestions via Universal Guide.

Samsung’s new smart monitor enables PC-free work. It does not need a computer to use the Internet or edit a paper. Users may connect to it through the improved Smart Hub, which can link to various smart devices.

By allowing users to connect wirelessly to a Windows or Mac PC and utilize technologies such as Samsung DeX, Apple AirPlay 2, and Microsoft 365, the Workspace User Interface puts everything they need on one screen.

The Smart Monitor M8 includes the Smart Things Hub, allowing customers to connect to and monitor IoT devices in their homes through Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi. IoT devices, such as lighting switches and plug power, provide information to the hub. 

The display also has a Far-Field Speech microphone with Samsung Bixby and Amazon Alexa voice assistants. When Bixby is engaged, the Always-on Voice feature of the microphone will show conversation information even if the monitor is switched off.

Samsung’s new smart monitor has a flat-back design and is 11.4mm thick, nearly three-quarters thinner than prior versions, according to the firm. It has several adaptive display functions, including auto-brightness and color temperature changes.
