Did Samsung make the MOST versatile display ever for the money?
Buy the Samsung Smart Monitor M8 here ➡ howl.me/ckF5auLROYW
Not a herringbone pattern btw
Correction my bad actually it is small herringbone could not see properly in youtube
Lol need a better monitor I guess haha
This seems to be a sponsored ad? Is that what you meant by sponsored at the beginning?
but what about the M7? just as good?
I have seen nothing but glowing reviews for this smart monitor. I’ve been considering replacing my five-year-old 720P monitor for some time now. After looking at this monitor and watching your review I think it’s pretty certain I’m getting myself a new Samsung.
I have this monitor, it is a pain in the ass to connect to your Mac. I still can't get the webcam to connect when I am on the mac. The picture isn't that great. It seems flimsy. I can't get the display to scale properly. It is either much too large for text or much too small. I can't get it to be just right. So I tried to use it as an accessory monitor. It was even worse. You should get something else. I regret this purchase
@@marklittlehale5756 i saw a video on the scaling thing regarding macs and non apple monitors the other day , its another stupid annoying mac quirk rather than a samsung problem , but if it doesn’t work , thats bad luck mate .
Sorry i can’t remember the title of the video , he may have had some work arounds.
Perhaps do some searches on alternate monitors for macs.
Good luck.
@@BeaglefreilaufKalkar That is the one thing which makes me trust the reviews a bit less.
Most of the reviews are paid reviews by Samsung unfortunately. I fell for it. Bought it. And returned it within a week. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great monitor on paper. It looks nice on your desk, very iMac like. Which was a selling point for me. But the actual screen looks way too washed off for productivity use, which is the main purpose I bought it for. You really have to be at least 5 feet away to have a good viewing angle. The camera is trash. My Logitech camera is 100 better. It is also not as bright as I would have liked for a bright room. But you can always try it and decide for yourself.
@@marklittlehale5756 yeah bc it's not usable on external devices. i called Samsung about this and they confirmed you can only use it on the built in apps on the monitor
Wow, If I had known this was coming out. About four to six months ago I bought the 32” HP monitor and I love it’s design, however, Samsung knocked it out of the park with this one. The fact that it could do so much more for just about the same price? Wow love it wow…
And I got a portable monitor for my laptop
imagine if samsung launch a "pro" version of this monitor
That supports VESA mounting, because this one unfortunately does not and has to be on stand the whole time... I'm buying 2 M7s for the price of one M8.
I guess they would call it ultra
@@PotatoNamedCharlie well that would sound nice anyway
@@yngynggod the lack of VESA support is very puzzling. I’m not a fan of the stand design but it’s serviceable. For those who said they have seen nothing but glowing reviews for this, it’s worth considering Samsung has shipped these out to reviewers tech influencers before it hit the market. Ian’s it’s in their interest to give them a positive review because it’s a sponsored video, one way or another.
I have one on the way but with chip shortages and all the craziness in the world, it won’t be here until June. As someone who loves apple products, I couldn’t stomach the asking price of the new display and extra for the articulating stand. That said, I’m not a professional so colour accuracy isn’t of the utmost importance. I wished they made it 5k though but afaik, Samsung doesn’t have a 5k panel of their own, all of the 5k monitors are made by LG including the one in the apple display.
That might be something I would be interested in. As it stands, I can’t see many pros choosing this over something like the new Dell U3223QE or the BenQ PD series 32 inch. Those seem to be more likely alternatives to the Apple Studio Display to me.
The webcam was a smart choice, now you can potentially in the future upgrade the camera without having to buy a new display.
The original Cinema Display came with a separate webcam that you connected via FireWire.
I grabbed a 32" Samsung M7 monitor for $280 back in November 2021 (before M8 was released)... I have to say, it's unbeatable at that price point. I love working on it up close connected via USB-C to an M1 MB Air, and then I can push away, sit in my recliner, and be watching Netflix 10 seconds later. My only qualms with it: switching between input sources is a breeze with the remote, but I keep that across the room, so on the M7, there's a single button on the bottom of the screen's chin that is a single press to move the curser, long press to select... it's a huge pain to change volume and source that way. Would have liked to see dedicated buttons for volume, power, and source. Also, I don't see a headphone jack on the monitor itself, so how could one add external speakers? Plugging them into my computer would work, but speakers would be rendered useless once I switch to Netflix or other apps... is bluetooth the only option?
Once again though... a 32" 4K display with Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Prime, AirPlay etc. with built-in speakers, and a single USB-C cable for computer power/display even at full price ($330) is RIDICULOUSLY good.
I have the M7 I am using it mainly as a bedroom TV, I am pairing it with a Samsung sound bar. Samsung should release an OLED version of this, no matter the price it would be the perfect monitor.
Meanwhile I have bought the M8. We are very happy with it, however I miss the normal usb connection and the standard HDMI . It has two usb c connections and a mini hdmi . I find it challenging connecting a Logitech usb dongle. The monitor works very well with MacBook Pro: it can charge via usb c and the Monitor camera works well for video conferencing…
i bought mine m8 for less than 300$ and i am super happy about this display, looks and works amazing for me
Great review. I’m on the fence between this and the studio display.
This has size, utility, versatility, webcam, and price as an advantage.
Apple has the native resolution , audio and build quality as an advantage, but a huge negative with their web cam.
I'm in exactly the same position, I've just ordered my Apple Studio, but didn't commit to ordering the studio monitor as I've still not seen it in the flesh and the price will hurt a lot!
My biggest problem is that my ideal display for the studio doesn't even exist! I just want a good colour performing monitor, native 5K resolution and pro motion, so it is comparable to the monitors in the laptops and a bit more OI docking solutions, like HDMI. My worry moving away from Apple is the loss of crisp graphics and control over the monitor from Apples OS.
$400 just to get height adjustability on the 27" Apple Studio 😱
$699 for the Samsung 32" Smart Monitor which has height adjustability standard, nuts!
Awesome video! you have an issue at 7:47.
Great in depth video covering a vast range of specifications whilst still making it enjoyable to watch!
Please everyone why can’t you see what this monitor is! It’s a striped back 28inch 4k tv! You can pick up a 4k tv for $299 so why is this a bargain!! It’s a plastic overpriced small 4k tv that’s being sold as a monitor! I mean Jesus it even comes with an IR blaster and remote how much more of a tv do you get!
This might make a great modesty priced monitor for a Mac mini or a MacBook Air user, but I can’t see many pros or even people who have invested in a Mac studio choosing this over something like the new Dell U3223QE or the BenQ PD series 32 inch. Those seem to be more likely alternatives to the Apple Studio Display to me. Personally I am not interested at all in the smart assistant or TV functionality, and I am looking for a 32 inch monitor with great color accuracy, good build quality, extensive hub functionality, and value that still exceeds what you get from the Studio Display. I have seen a few dozen reviews of this monitor in the last few weeks, can we get some comparisons of some of the OTHER alternatives in this size that are new or are older but still might make sense?
I don't have the competence to discuss on the monitor, but the puny teeny tiny add-on webcam makes the whole effort quite questionable. One has the possibility to address Apple quality centric userbase, they make an external connection for a proper webcam and come out with this trinket on a bezel. It really seems a toy and probably it really is.
@@m80116 i actually thought the snap on web cam brilliant , and the magnetic privacy cover very cool, but hey to each his own.
Good question. I hope I get some answer to this too. However I'm considering the M8 mainly because of it's built and look. It looks like it "goes" with the Mac Studio
@@m80116 Toy camera's! Well having any camera (on any platform) built into a slim display is heavily compromising it's performance by squeezing the depth of it's sensor and lens's. It's the reason we have so many camera's stuck on the back of our phones to compensate for this. So if anything having a camera externally mounted is anything but toy like. However in this case, I'm sure component cost is holding this camera back, but gives the potential to stick in a much much better camera in future
@@Aaron-ni2eu yeah... in the meantime Apple's display camera is mediocre and Samsung's even worse.
I wish someone would show this monitoring running apps via an Apple Mac Mini M1 or Studio and how the Mac OS and various apps looks on this display.
If only it was 120hz… kinda a dealbreaker for me as a console user
come on, this is not a gaming monitor purposes
@@masx4813 gaming or not 60hz is ass and a thing of the past, once you used 120/144 or 240+hz you cant go back its, terrible
If it had 120hz, I'd have bought it right here and then. Been looking for a pretty "office + webcam monitor" for years. And the studio display has not convinced me for that reason either.
@@Raynoxfps It is the first one of its kind. Let them get the 60Hz correct first and 120Hz will follow suit in a couple of years.
eve spectrum could be a good option?
That is no Max-style review. I am sorry to say it is just an Samsung ad! 😞
Perfect display except little disappointed that it doesn't come with 120hz refresh. It seems like Samsung waits for Apple to release a product and listens to all Apple fans complaining then puts all the stuff that fans wanted into their display lol
You are joking right? Apple can't even make a touch screen laptop with pen support, let alone a TV/PC monitor...lol
@@msp5138 Okay relax. Read my comment carefully one more time cuz you’re going off the topic here. I was making fun of Apple lol
Resuming: sponsored by Samsung! You just needed to change your gold steel Apple Watch on your wrist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And why are you screaming, are you so excited in the video? 🤪
Rewatching your render before uploading it, priceless.
😘
Totally feels like an ad
He doesn't hide the fact tbf
Nah dude. It pays off to not be brand loyal. You learn to recognize truly fundamental pieces of technology.
Resuming: sponsored by Samsung! You just needed to change your gold steel Apple Watch on your wrist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And why are you screaming, are you so excited in the video?
AYYYE I saw that guga food playing! Good taste in youtubers Max lol
I don't trust reviews that have no negatives. To me, this is an ad. Useless for deciding to purchase.
Am I seeing something different, the studio display still looks better to me side by side??
Max the salesman :)
Max is just talking like a salesman in this video😂
Haha. I do truly love this monitor and bought one asap. If they had a 5K version I would spend double for it, (I did buy a studio display for our studio for more than double) and if they made a metal version for $300 more id gladly pay it too but the truth is most people wouldn’t so for $699 this thing is a beast. Yes it’s plastic but better quality plastic than most and the stand is WAY more stable than my LG 5K ultra fine.
@@MaxTechOfficial yeah I agree.
Max. Wouldn’t it be nice if it matched you Mac? Why not make it in Silver. And Soace Gray. They missing out big time.
He does in every video. As soon as I relazed it was him I switched the video. I made an exception seeing your comment this time
Nahhhh, I recently bought one of these from Best Buy. It’s on sale for $349 this week. It really is awesome especially for that sale price. I mean you really can’t beat it
Apple seems to be doing less homework on new hardware these days but still slapping on premium price tag
where have you been the last 8-10 years?
@@covert0overt_810 he's telling the truth
Wait till he finds out about Apple silicon...
@@_Steve_S wait till you find out about the iPhone 14 and what chip its using
@@Pankage a15 for regular, a16 for pro. No secrets here
Amazing and awesome quality content!.Thanks so much-Your balanced and entertaining content is insane-Keep it up I appreciate the efforts,dedication and time spent in these awesome videos!🔥🔥🙂!.
Are you having any issues with setting display resolution when connected to your Mac Studio? Is 4k instead of 5k a problem?
Did you guys notice the export error starting @07:45?
Great video’s btw! Would love to see timeline performance of the Mac studio vs Mac Pro in davinci.
yeah
Yeah, the lack of 120z makes to tough for me and the lack of HDMI 2.1. However, it does appear to have some great features. Despite its deficiencies, I’m still considering this though. Solid review, despite leaving out its deficiencies due to sponsorship.
Let me say it since you didn't.
VA 32" for productivity, Nah !!! Horrible viewing angles.
Good video btw, as always.
You have a missing footage error at the end of the video
Oops!
Final Cut Pro has been terrible with this lately. Plug-ins always get disconnected and many times we have to re-render videos. I’ve never had the end screen get disconnected tho, so it’s a bummer.
@@MaxTechOfficial same here...
“I have to commend Samsung… for giving us so many options without locking us in”
That’s kind of their thing for the most part.
Hi Max! I hope you are doing well. Please be aware that there is an issue on the footage at the minute 7:45 onwards. You may fix it directly from youtube editor.
Excellent monitor by the way. Take care and greetings to your brother
How is this a studio killer if it is not 5k. You don’t need click bait titles.
Can I ask two questions about this monitor with the Mac mini?
1. Does it wake up when you press a key?
2. Does the display brightness adjust as well as volume with the keyboard?
Thank you.
Been waiting for your review of the XPS 13 plus. Don’t trust anyone else on RUclips except you guys 💪
Keep up the great work
If it had a VESA mount it would be an instant buy for me.
Thanks for this thorough review.
I am sold. This is the display I will be getting. I love Apple products, but just because it has an Apple logo doesn't mean it is always the best BANG for the $$$. The Mac Studio is impressive, but for what I do, a 16 GB M1 Mac mini will do the job for $1,100 less and it will only take 5 minutes more in render time for my typical FPRX video. That said, the extra $1,100 I won't be spending on the Apple Studio Display will go toward this Samsung Display and I will still have an extra $500 remaining. Budget $2,400: New Mac $1,200, new Display $700, and $500 to put on additional new lighting equipment. Hmmmmmmm. Sounds good to me!
I would not do that. Samsung is notorious for DROPPING support in 3-4 years, bricking the “smart feature” AND putting ADS all over your “premium monitor”!
Seriously get ANYTHING but this. They get sponsored for doing videos like these. At least get a REAL monitor NOT a “smart monitor”. It’s really not worth it in the end.
Meanwhile people are still using Apple Cinema displays from 18 years ago, no ads, premium build, excellent panels.
You get what you pay for. These displays won’t even get updates for a few years much less 18 years of functionality.
Thanks Max for this video.
Now I know what to get for my upcoming purchase os the Mac mini I'll be buying.
Havagooday mate

My elderly parents are cord-cutters. They have DSL internet, but they haven't had cable TV in years. They watch alot of RUclips videos, and they use RUclips to get their news. (PBS Newshour, etc.) They are doing this on an aging Intel Core i5-powered 13-inch MacBook Pro. I have long thought about finding ways to improve their setup. I'm not 100% sold, but Samsung's M8 may be a crucial component. My most important questions are:
1: Can the M8 be wall-mounted like a TV? If it can, what kind of wall-mounting kit can be used?
2: If the M8 is used as a stand-alone computing device, (a: how do you use it to access Microsoft Office without a computer? Does it need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse added to do this? (b: Can the M8 be used to access social media, such as RUclips and Facebook? (c: Can the M8 connect to a WiFi printer in our home, to print out documents? and (d: Can the M8 be used to view and print PDF files?
3: I my parents wanted to use their laptop through the M8, how does it connect between a Mac and the monitor? Does the webcam work through this connection?
4: If they had an M8 hanging on a wall, how could external speakers be mounted?
Holy shit it's the perfect solution for what I was looking for, bigger than the Apple display so I can get away with just one + fit speakers on either side.
All at 1/4 the price!
Thanks, your enthusiasm is justified, I bought one for £330, that’s a good deal right? The TV channels are not great, but the streaming options are excellent. I never thought I’d use them.
I totally enjoy this channel and respect the work they do reviewing products, and yes I know the channel purchased an M8, but they shouldn’t have accepted having a unit sent from Samsung. It’s just my own issues I’m sure, but I get very skeptical when a channel receives items for free, even if they have to eventually return them. It makes me think think the reviewer will be gentle with any problems or issues, in order not to bite that hand that feeds.
I’ve been using it for almost 3 months and I’m gonna say, it’s worth the money - but there’re small disadvantages as for me. 1) It’s 4k, but 60hz - would’ve been good to have 120hz, but it would affect the price more. Two sides of the coin 😅 2) when you use windows laptop and hook it up w/ hdmi - the camera doesn’t work 🥲 it works with laptops that can share screen through usb-c, like MacBooks (or with Airplay). With windows laptops you have to use the usb-c cable from the box and hook the camera up with the laptop separately, so you have more cables - hdmi for screen and usb-c for camera. That’s a bit annoying 🥲 3) the stand is a bit unstable - I’m a heavy typer, so when I was typing the screen was literally shaking around slightly 😭 had to get used to easier typing press. 4) not very bothersome but still - if you need to change any settings for the monitor (change the brightness or the volume of the monitor), you have to use the remote, you can’t do it on the keyboard. Otherwise, it’s a good monitor, especially for the price!
Hey @Max Tech, love your reviews and always have. Just a quick note; @7:45 you seem to be missing a clip.
Ive seen them missing fonts or effects in a couple videos. a quick proof watch would help, but all in all great review!
That physical notch sticking out on the bottom right corner is an eye sore already. Really.
Thanks for a helpful review. Is it possible to easily set it up as a split screen (to operate like dual computer monitors)?
This looks beautiful and is so much cheaper than the mac display. I just ordered one to go with my new m3 MacBook Pro. Super excited.
however 1k pxls is missing.. 5k on Apple's Studio dspl is really advantage.
Also 1k less in price.
well it also costs 900 dollars more so
Actually more. To get to 218 PPI, this would have to be a 6K monitor. Even a 5K monitor is not retina quality at 32”.
Looks really good! I'd pay a couple hundred bucks extra if it used an IPS panel instead though.
Terrific, clear, comprehensive and helpful review. This is just the sort of review that helps people make decisions. Thank you.
Thanks you've helped me decide I'm going to buy one.
Good video. Would be interesting to cover adaptability of specific devices such as an iPad Pro with M1 chip. Good price, but not if it doesn’t do what one wants it to do.
yes this, especially with stage manager
This is a a great idea. You showcased it very well
Another RUclipsr said that the Mac’s performance suffers dramatically if the scaling is set to anything other then Max or Min size. In other words, 100 or 200 dpi will work fine, but something in the middle like this will be stuck with very slow performance, or giant/tiny interface. Have you seen anything like this?
I wish reviewers would talk about this. I’m think a lot of them aren’t even aware of the significance of scaling. If you’re a pro user in the world of video or VFX, it can make a big difference in the performance of your computer. The scaling really eats up GPU resources.
This is why I am disappointed that the studio display does not have any smart monitor functions. With an a13, Apple could have made the monitor double as an Apple TV fairly easily.
Thx Max. I bought one. It is great value. I wish next iteration upgrade with Wifi6E or RJ45, louder speaker and more apps like Zoom available. FYI Samsung TV channel not yet available in Indonesia
this feels like a samsung ad.
this m8 monitor is a beast especially for its price point. 4k,1080p camera,speakers,thin bezels, only 700 dollars. Mac studio is better until u hear that its 1600 dollars. 900 dollars price difference. ye ofc the studio display is better but it doesnt worth 900 dollars more
the oops at the end dang final cut haha
Hi Max Tech, I'd love to know how this monitor works everyday with an Apple Studio computer. Things like.. Adjusting the brightness, colour, volume etc of the monitor from the apple, or is it controlled from the monitor only? Does the brick reach the floor or needs to sit on the desk? What scaling, resolutions does this work best at for the studio? I'd love to see this working with an iPad too, and does the apple studio display work well with the iPad?
i saw a tiktok that brought me to this review. they used an external color calibrator, and it seemed to do the trick for their macbook pro
Hi guys,
I hope any of you can relate or help me resolve my dilemma. So i bought this thinking of a pc build. So i’m not pairing a laptop with it but a CPU itself. I was able to successfully connect keyboard and mouse to the monitor. However, I can’t seem to bring them to PC. 🥴
This is so cool 🤩 I hope they come out with a larger version. I'd put one in the guest room for sure
Great review excellent monitor! Samsung make a 27 inch version also please.
Will the USB-C M8 port work with Apple MacStudio? I bought the Asus PA 329CV, Asus advertisement says especially for Apple, BUT is doesn’t work. I called the Asus support and they told me that Asus has problems with Apple Thunderbolt Standard and it will not work. No bugfix is planed, really disappointing.
I have an old Full HD 27" TN display, I have been thinking about replacing it and this sounds great, it has a webcam, it has audio ( so that there has just cut down some cables ) . I realise the speakers are not earthshattering brilliant, but when your audio is a set of powered speakers plugged into a headphone jack. It will be decent to watch you tube. listen to some basic audio tracks ( voiceover on your own homemade video).
Samsung Launched the M8 Actually a couple of months ago. Just sayin
Samsung should come out with an ultra wide version of this.
wish it had came out in dec, i would have bought two of them.. but ended up with a 38" viewsonic, maybe i'll get one of these for a second monitor
Please make a video on the M7 monitor as well, it's a best selling monitor on Amazon now
So much discussion about 60 Hz panels in 2022 is just ridiculous. It may be acceptable for a TV used for watching movies only, but a monitor for work/gaming looks absolutely horrible compared to a good 144 or 240 Hz panel like HP x32 or Odyssey G7.
Absolutely! Apple seems to ignore the whole layer of comfort using a machine with high refresh rate monitor and low latency peripherals. Even the new laggy 120hz has not solved it yet, which you can't even force to be always on.
This seems like a much better value than the Apple Studio Display. If this monitor had a 120 hz or higher refresh rate and came in black, it would be perfect. I am a gamer and have a black theme in my office. For now I am using the Eve Spectrum 27” 4K 144hz monitor which I love.
Check out the LG 42” C2 television. It’s a more expensive, but more feature rich competitor to the M8. It has 120Hz. Of course, a 42” TV as a monitor is only feasible with a slightly deeper desk, but many RUclipsrs are reviewing this as a computer monitor/TV/console screen.
got a new mac mini and this monitor, setup was stressful. when trying to connect the monitor to the mac mini using USB-C it did not work on any of the ports. Finally after an hour of trouble shooting i connected the new mac mini using the HDMI it was magic. Long story short…if you’re setting up a new computer with this monitor use the HDMI. Hope i can switch to the USB-C in the future for better refresh rate.
Does it have a 5k Retina display?
got this this exact model for 200$ brand new out the box :)
Sorry if it’s been asked, but how does the VA panel hold up for photo editing? Being so wide is there a bad color shift or is it not too bad when sitting in front of it? (Using a 27” 1440p IPS now)
I don't understand why no review I've seen mentions the gaps around the back of the monitor (like at 7:20). The price is great, but I worry about longterm build quality.
I'd love to see a QD-LED monitor/display vs. apples studio display.
Sponsored content makes me question whether I'm hearing the truth about a product.
I think Samsung missed out by omitting the 2 colors which would double their sales
Silver. And Space Gray to match the MBP and Mac Studio
And I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned that. On any of your videos. :-)
I don’t mean to be negative but I think people should be informed. I will be returning mine. It’s good as a monitor and it’s good as a low quality tv if you will watch it by yourself. Volume above 40% starts crackling. The camera is cool but it’s so so pixelated and laggy that I would never actually use it. The remote is great. The color is good and resolution is good. when there is a lot of movement on screen your eye catches glitches and pixelations. So watching movies is not the most pleasant experience. Likely due to 60 Hz. I expected a monitor +tv +webcam. I got a very pretty monitor+ low quality tv. Buy according to your needs and what you plan to use it for
Looks pretty good , I could see that being my new pc computer monitor and tv, although i do have tv streaming on my pc already.
In Australia it goes for $1199.00 , but thats typical of everything in oz , our dollar is worth dirt.
Heads-up! Your excellent video ends with a Final Cut Pro missing Text Generator error.
Looks almost as shaky as the lg. Every time it is touched, it wobbles.
Yes, it has features. Lots of them. But at the end of the day... you want a monitor to look good as a monitor. Every reviewer is going nuts over the laundry list of features but very few answer the question, "does it look good."
And that answer is no. I A/B'd this in the store with my Macbook Air and the Studio Display blew it out of the water. By a mile.
I had samsung M8 monitor and return it…is a good one for the price but it’s a huge difference comparative with apple studio display
thats got to be the best monitor ive seen, too good.
This is a smart Tv rebranded as monitor, designed like Apple monitor and sold to “special” people. Sorry but someone had to say it. I have seen true hands on reviews of this Smart TV and it didn’t get a lot of stars.
If you're watching this Dec 2022...its on sale rn for $400
Great review. Thanks. You said that the Slimfit Camera is easy to set up and automatically works with a Mac. But it's not showing up with my Mac mini in any applications. I love the monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
thanks for another great video!
Does it come with build in microphones for Zoom meeting
How would this be for school, hooked up to a MacBook. Tons of research papers and reading, so I want the text to be super clear. Thanks for the time!
I recently got this monitor and I can’t work out how to use Microsoft Teams, when I select it, it says “your browser version doesn’t support this”
Finally what I searched years ago.
I need a little help on this, hope you or anyone who knows a little bit more about this can get back to me. I have a 2022 16" MacBook Pro and I can't choose between the Samsung M8 and the Dell UltraSharp. I've heard the Samsung M8 has some connectivity issues with OsX and needs some extra wires in order to not have lag on the cursor but it's still a good product and I feel like I'd be getting my money's worth with all the additional stuff it has.
Using the enclosed USB-C cable, you can enable Game mode to avoid the lag (use the 'Standard' response time to avoid flicker on RUclips). You won't be able to use the ‘Eco’, ‘Entertain’, ‘Graphic’ or 'Eye Saver' picture modes or speaker amplification though. I recently bought and returned the M8 as I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the panel. Colours were washed out, blacks looked absolutely terrible and the low pixel density (compared to Mac) was a bit jarring - a smaller IPS like Dell's UltraSharp would drastically reduce all of these issues though. ;)
If and only if the usb can have higher charging power and back of the monitor can have led light lighting, it will be a perfect monitor :)
The best bang for buck monitors are under $200. I got Good deal on 1440p 165hz monitor for under $200 with hdr and a lot of bells and whistles. Only thing missing is of course speakers, microphone and camera.
