With the introduction of smart monitors, the line between a computer monitor and a TV gets blurred. The Samsung M80C Smart Monitor thrives in that blur, finding the right balance between a computer monitor and a smart TV. Right now, you can get the hybrid monitor for $399.99 (originally $699.99) after a 43% discount. I can say this is the lowest price this monitor has been after checking price tracking tools.
The current discount is so good that it's currently cheaper than the older M7 version, which was well-received over at Mashable. The Samsung M80C Smart Monitor came out in the summer of 2023 and has some great features worth checking out. While you won’t be doing any advanced gaming with a 60Hz refresh rate, the stylish 32-inch LCD monitor has 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 resolution, a built-in removable webcam, and it doubles as a smart TV with a controller for streaming movies and shows. It also has Alexa integration to enable voice controls.
The monitor has Samsung's proprietary Tizen smart platform built-in, allowing viewers to use the Samsung TV Plus streaming to catch over 350 live TV channels with no need to download or sign up for anything (you'll still have to log in to your favorite streaming apps to watch those). The inclusion of a remote controller makes accessing the TV features much easier. The monitor has a sleek design with an ergonomic stand that you can pan and tilt as well as remove and wall mount if you want to. As far as ports, it has two USB-A ports and a standard HDMI port.
This monitor is perfect for people who don't have a TV in their bedroom or might not have the space for one.
