When space is limited like in a dorm room, why not get a smart monitor designed for both study and entertainment instead of two separate devices? There are a few items that can elevate your room to create a space you’ll love to work and relax in. The Samsung M8 32″ 4K Ultra HD smart monitor might be one of them. Read on to learn why, then enter for a chance to win one.

Hybrid monitor/TV

I love multi-purpose devices that allow you to do more with less, and the Samsung M8 smart monitor is one of them. It is both a productivity tool and an entertainment station in one sleek, smart screen. You can use it as a traditional monitor for school when you need an extra display or as a smart TV when you’re ready to unwind at the end of the day. Featuring Tizen OS, it comes with built-in applications such as Netflix and Prime Video for streaming content, but also with productivity software like Microsoft 365 so you can study and enjoy your favourite shows without having to connect a separate laptop. The Samsung M8 is a versatile device that will accompany you in your various activities throughout the day without taking up much space in your dorm room. Make sure to watch Shelly Wutke’s video review to see what it’s like to use this monitor. 

Modern design that blends into your space 

The Samsung M8 smart monitor features a compact, minimalist design, and is available in four different colours (Warm White, Spring Green, Daylight Blue, and Sunset Pink) to complement your dorm room decor. I think one of the reasons why the M8 can be a great choice for a dorm room is that not only can it function as a monitor and a smart TV, but it was also designed to look like one or the other depending on how you’re using it. For example, it comes with a detachable SlimFit camera that you can pop on for online classes and video calls, but when it’s time to watch a movie, you can detach it and adjust the height of the stand to make the monitor look like a TV.

Hub for your smart home devices

There’s one more thing you can do with the Samsung M8 smart monitor besides working and entertaining yourself, and that is controlling your smart devices. The M8 supports IoT, which means that it can act as a hub for your smart dorm room. So if you have smart lights, a smart alarm clock, or a robot vacuum, you can control them via Samsung’s SmartThings app. The M8 does also come with Amazon Alexa and Bixby voice assistants built-in so you can always use voice commands too if you prefer!

  9. I love how the Samsung M8 monitor is everything you need in one! A monitor, a tv screen, a hub for smart devices. When space is limited in a dorm room, this is perfect!

  11. I love that the Samsung M8 smart monitor is it’s ability to be used as a productivity tool and entertainment station.

  16. I’m mainly just looking for anything that would be an upgrade from my current TV/Monitor, so any “Smart” tech is a bonus. lol

  24. What I love most about the Samsung M8 Monitor is it’s ability to be utilized as a TV and as a personal Monitor!

  25. What I love most about the Samsung M8 Monitor is it’s ability to be utilized as a TV and as a personal Monitor!

  27. I love the fact that this basically acts as both a smart TV and computer monitor. It’s basically like having a second television which is really cool!

  39. I like the fact I can use this for a computer monitor as well as TV screen – no need to buy two devices
    A real space saver

  41. The Adaptive Picture Technology with the built-in sensor to tweak screen brightness is a feature I would embrace.

  50. I like that it’s adjustable and that the camera can be removed. My current monitor does not have a camera and it’s been an issue more than a few times since covid hit from everything from doctors appointments to interviews to tests. We watch tv on our current monitor so it can technically do both, but it isn’t built for it in the same way as the M8. The M8 would be a seriously amazing upgrade!
