Samsung Electronics today announced its latest Smart Monitor series, the M8, featuring an upgraded, stylish design. The versatile new M8 delivers Samsung’s iconic slim design in four new colors — Warm White, Sunset Pink, Daylight Blue and Spring Green — available in 32-inches with UHD resolution and a SlimFit Cam.

 

First launched in November 2020, Samsung’s Smart Monitor series is a family of world’s first do-it-all screens designed for modern day users who demand a product that offers both functionality and entertainment at home. Not only being a traditional monitor, but the M8 also allows users to enjoy a variety of OTT services,1 including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV via Wi-Fi without having to connect to a PC or TV.

When it comes to style, the Smart Monitor M8 offers both space and work efficiency in an ultra-stylish design. The thinness of the new model is 11.4mm, about three-quarters slimmer than the previous models.

 

Featuring a sophisticated flat-back design, the M8’s range of colors developing on stylish warm white complements any environment based on the user’s personal preferences.

 

“We aspired to create a product capable of matching the lifestyles of all kinds of people and preferences,” said Kyounghoon Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Design Team, Visual Display Business, Samsung Electronics. “The M8’s color palette composed of four different colors was inspired by the theme ‘Shades of Nature’. Gazing at the clear blue sky on a bright sunny day, recharging in the lush green forest, or finally bathing in the glow of a sunset,” he added.

When it comes to productivity, the Smart Monitor M8 has it all. The M8 provides a perfect home office environment without using a PC by connecting to various IT devices through the upgraded Smart Hub. The Workspace User Interface offers all services needed to work on one screen, helping users wirelessly connect to a Windows or Mac PC and efficiently use an extensive range of useful features, including Samsung DeX, Apple AirPlay 2 and Microsoft 3652 cloud service, as well as mirroring content from smartphone to the M8.

 

On top of that, the Smart Monitor M8 has a magnetic and removable SlimFit Cam that can attach to the monitor while keeping desk space neat without any unsightly wires. The SlimFit Cam also features Face Tracking and Auto Zoom functions, swiftly identifying a person’s face when on screen and automatically focusing on the subject. In other words, it can follow and capture an individual speaker, a perfect option for active presentation or livestreaming. In addition, the monitor supports video chat apps such as Google Duo, allowing users to work remotely or engage in video conferencing at home or in the workplace using the SlimFit Cam.

The Smart Monitor M8 has an IoT hub called SmartThings Hub, where users can connect all their IoT devices wirelessly. The SmartThings app allows users to track IoT devices throughout the house easily with the app’s intuitive control panel highlighting all information provided by other devices connected to the M8, including light switch and plug power.3

 

Equipped with a high-sensitivity Far Field Voice microphone, the assistant controls devices such as Bixby and Amazon Alexa4 using voice commands. Additionally, the microphone uses an Always On Voice function, displaying conversation information on screen when Bixby is activated, even if the monitor screen is turned off.

      Learn more SOI: Scaling Down Computational Complexity by Estimating Partial States of the Model
      As artificial intelligence advances rapidly, we have seen the development of increasingly sophisticated and powerful Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). While these models have achieved groundbreaking performance, their escalating size and computational demands render them impractical for resource-constrained environments. This issue is particularly concerning for real-time, energy-sensitive applications such as smart watches, augmented reality (AR) glasses, and wireless earbuds. 

      Samsung R&D Institute Poland introduces Scattered Online Inference (SOI), a novel approach that reduces computational complexity through partial state predictions and efficient compression by leveraging the inherent continuity and predictability of time-series data. SOI aligns with the growing demand for environmentally sustainable and economically viable AI solutions, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in compact, real-time systems.

      Learn more EnsIR: Ensemble Algorithm for Image Restoration via Gaussian Mixture Models
      Image restoration has seen significant progress over the decades and is now drawing more attention as various deep learning networks emerge. However, single models with different architectures or random initialization states exhibit prediction deviations from ground truths, resulting in sub-optimal restoration results. Ensemble learning has been applied to image restoration to address this issue, but most ensemble methods in image restoration require ensembles in the training stage. The ensemble strategy must be determined while training multiple models, so it sacrifices flexibility in changing models and the convenience of plug-and-play usage.

      This article introduces EnsIR, an image restoration ensemble algorithm based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). This method formulates the ensemble problem, and ensemble weights are efficiently learned via the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, which is stored in a lookup table (LUT) to be utilized in the subsequent inference stage. This algorithm demonstrates better performance than regression-based ensemble methods and commonly used averaging strategies. It can be applied to various image restoration tasks. Learn more about EnsIR at the Samsung Research blog.
