Samsung Smart Monitor M8 M80F 32" 4K UHD, Tizen Smart TV Apps, SlimFit Camera, USB-C 65W, HDR10+ (LS32FM801UUXEN)

⭐ The point of this product is that it is not only a monitor. Plug in nothing at all and it still works: Tizen runs streaming apps, Samsung TV Plus, a web browser and Microsoft 365 and Samsung Workspace directly on the screen, with a remote control supplied. It also acts as a SmartThings hub, supports AirPlay, Multi View (up to two sources at once), Gaming Hub and far-field voice with Bixby. For a bedroom, a kitchen, a studio flat or a hot desk, that replaces a separate television.

⭐ The SlimFit camera is included, not an accessory. Samsung’s own box-contents list for this part number includes the pogo-pin SlimFit camera. It is worth stating because Samsung has sold this camera separately on other Smart Monitors, and buyers reasonably assume it is extra. Here it is in the box, along with an HDMI cable and a USB-C cable.

⭐ USB-C at 65 W means one cable to a laptop. Video, data and 65 W of charging over a single connection. That comfortably covers a 13–14″ ultrabook and most 15″ machines; a workstation or gaming laptop with a 100 W-plus adapter will charge slowly under load. Check what your laptop’s own charger is rated at.

⚠️ It is 60 Hz, and Samsung publishes no adaptive sync. Gaming Hub is a cloud-streaming service, not a gaming-monitor feature. With a 4 ms grey-to-grey response and no FreeSync or G-SYNC claim, this is a productivity and media screen. It will play games; it is not an Odyssey.

⚠️ One HDMI port, and it is HDMI 2.0. That carries 4K at 60 Hz, so it is sufficient — but there is no HDMI 2.1, so no 4K at 120 Hz from a console, and only one HDMI input. With USB-C that gives you two device connections in total. There is no DisplayPort and no LAN; networking is Wi-Fi 5 or Bluetooth.

⚠️ The USB hub is USB 2.0. Two USB-A downstream ports at USB 2.0 speed — fine for a keyboard, mouse or dongle, slow for a portable drive.

⚠️ The stand does not swivel. Height (120 mm), tilt and pivot into portrait, but no swivel. VESA 100 × 100 if you want an arm.

ℹ️ 4K at 32″ is the size that makes 4K practical — about 138 pixels per inch, dense enough to look sharp but large enough to run at 100–125 % scaling and keep real desktop space, where a 27″ 4K screen forces you to scale most of it away.

✓ A bedroom, kitchen or studio flat — it replaces a separate television

✓ Hot-desking or a laptop that arrives and leaves — one USB-C cable

✓ Video calls — the SlimFit camera is in the box

✓ Anyone who wants a screen that is useful when the PC is off

The Smart Monitor M8 is sold as a monitor and bought, correctly, as something closer to a small television that happens to be excellent at desk work. The Tizen platform, the supplied remote and the SlimFit camera in the box mean it is genuinely useful with nothing plugged into it — which is the whole argument for it in a bedroom, a kitchen or a flat where a separate television and a separate monitor would both be in the way. Add 65 W USB-C and it also does the one-cable laptop job well. Judge it as a monitor and the picture is more mixed but still good: 4K at 32″ is the size where 4K actually buys desktop space, 3000:1 VA contrast and HDR10+ certification are strong for the category, and 400 cd/m² is bright. What it is not is a gaming screen — 60 Hz, no adaptive sync published at all, and a single HDMI 2.0 port, so no 4K120 from a console. Two smaller things to know: the USB hub is USB 2.0, and the stand does not swivel. Browse our PC monitor range or our keyboards.
