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.

The M8 also includes a height adjustable stand (HAS) and tilt functionality, allowing users to find the perfect position for every project, movie night or study session.

 

The Smart Monitor M8 earned CES Innovation Awards Honoree from the CTA (Consumer Technology Association) in recognition of a wide array of its display technologies.

      Samsung Electronics Showcases Massive Outdoor LED Signage at Shinsegae Department Store, Ushering in a New Seoul Landmark
      By Samsung Newsroom
      Samsung Electronics today announced the installation of its Outdoor LED Signage XHB Series (P8) at the flagship location of Shinsegae Department Store in Seoul, South Korea. Unveiled during the “2024 Lights Up SEOUL, KOREA” event today, the installation is set to establish Myeongdong Square in Seoul as Korea’s new premier landmark, featuring a stunning media lighting display that illuminates the heart of Seoul’s iconic shopping district.
       
      “Our LED displays present unlimited possibilities for places like Myeongdong to bear new elements of cultural significance,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This installation gives us an opportunity to showcase in the biggest way possible that our outdoor digital displays are built to engage, built to deliver impactful content, and built to last.”
       
      Located within the Myeongdong Special Tourist Zone Area, Shinsegae Department Store is uniquely positioned as a free outdoor advertising zone that enables creative and expansive installations. Samsung’s massive outdoor LED signage featuring an anamorphic 8K display, wraps around the entire outer wall of the building, measuring 71.8 meters in width and 17.9 meters in height — equivalent in size to three basketball courts.
       

       
      Spanning a total area of 1,285 square meters, the display is designed for resilience in harsh weather, featuring an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, and UL 48 and UL 746C certifications1 for year-round durability. The installation is engineered for high visibility and vibrant color accuracy, with support for HDR10+ technology to deliver sharp contrast and rich visuals. With a max brightness of 8,000 nits,2 the display ensures exceptional clarity even in direct sunlight. Its high refresh rate of 7,680Hz minimizes flicker and the moiré effect,3 ensuring a stable display that remains visually crisp, even through camera lenses.
       
      Samsung’s track record of success with digital signage spans prominent venues worldwide. In South Korea, Samsung provided the country’s largest ever high-definition LED signage to Coex SM Town, while transformative installations at New York’s Citi Field and Houston’s Minute Maid Park set new standards for in-stadium displays. At Citi Field, Samsung installed the largest scoreboard in professional baseball, featuring over 29,800 square feet of LED screens that immerse fans in the action from every angle. Similarly, at Minute Maid Park, Samsung’s high-definition LED technology redefined the fan experience with massive outdoor displays and a dynamic new main scoreboard, all designed to enhance the excitement of the game.
       

       
      In Myeongdong, the new installation will not only host engaging advertisements and dynamic video content, but also transform into a breathtaking annual Christmas media façade, creating a festive atmosphere for visitors.
       
      “Shinsegae’s media façade, beloved by global customers for the past 10 years, has now been recreated as Shinsegae Square. This transformation paves the way for it to become an iconic landmark of Seoul, making it not only a must-visit attraction but also a central hub for K-culture. We are excited to partner with Samsung to bring our customers unique experiences that blend heritage and digital technology,” Shinsegae spokesperson said.
       
      Samsung’s Outdoor LED Signage is renowned for exceptional performance in demanding environments, evidenced by award-winning deployments at iconic venues such as Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium, which boasts the world’s largest LED videoboard ever built for sports, and the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Samsung installed a 481-foot-long rooftop LED display in the shape of the F1 logo. As Myeongdong evolves into a global tourism destination, Samsung continues to lead with solutions that inspire and engage.
       
       
       
      1 UL 48 and UL 746C certifications, issued by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), verify compliance with safety standards for electric signs and durability of materials in outdoor environments, including UV and weather resistance.
      2 Maximum brightness measured post-calibration; actual values may vary with conditions.
      3 The moiré effect is an undesirable visual phenomenon that occurs when repetitive patterns, such as lines, are captured in photographs.

      Is there a list of TV's with their latest possible update level?
      By dnj
      I have a UE50TU7020 TV for which I would like to install a Flutter application, however as support for this was only introduced in Tizen 6.0, and the TV's seem to have shipped with Tizen 5.0, I wonder if they can be upgraded? And if so, to what version? The device is remote, so I can't just check for upgrades in the normal way. Before instructing others to do so I would like to find out if this device even supports 6.0+
      Many thanks,
