I totally agree. It fits good in to the relaxed and unscripted first impression scheme which shortcircuit targets. Gathering the technical specs and maybe some background information, a unboxing and giving a soft impression of what to expect from the product. Thats all you need and also all that shortcircuit does. The Production quality is still superior compared to any other full reviews on youtube.

Unfortunately I'm absolutely not into Apple products and as such can only give you a cursory answer that I kind of snatched up in the last few videos of the Apple Studio Display. The main issue with 4K is that Apple is scaling differently than linux/windows. I cannot give you the details, but it uses a weird custom scaling that perfectly fits with 5K display resolution but makes e.g. text on a 4K display look slighty unsharp/fuzzy around the edges of characters. I can only presume this to be the mentioned problem but this might be enough to google for more details

@@speedyg123. Like with many questions regarding such topics, there is no general best option. I myself still use a 1080p 144hz monitor because it is enough for me and your best choice depends on your intentions. If you wish to primarily watch movies or game, this impacts you much less than daily work in office 365 or programming. Also depends on you not minding the scaling issue when you have the monitor yourself (ofc sending it back then is still an option). As a general approach, I would honestly just go for the 4K and see for myself how bad it is - worst case sending it back and looking for a 5K or maybe some 2k mac scaling compatible choice

The wood floor pattern shown early in the video is actually chevron not herringbone. Herringbone is more interlaced.

It kinda reminds me of the old TVs that were HD Ready. They didn’t do HD, but they were “Ready”.

When are we gonna get ad space built into this monitor? Really looking forward to the ads /s

Nice energy in this vid Plouffe! Keep it up.

Appreciate it!

You didn't mention if there are ads in the Samsung smart TV UI because I know they've baked in ads into their smart TV so I would have liked to know if it was in this monitor. Given that you didn't mention it though I guess it doesn't have any ads

can someone plz tell me how i can connect both my mac mini and ps5 to my m8 monitor if it has only one hdmi port? if anyone has a solution plz let me know thanks

Nice ad guys…

I wish I could afford it

If you can't afford it, you don't need it

I returned this monitor! Has a problem detecting the HDMI signal ..also once my macbook is connected to charge it i lose the sound on it..

Love to see a more in-depth review on how it looks connected to MacOS and Win 11. Have a Dell Dock and switch from my MacBook Pro 16 to Samsung GalaxyBook frequently for my jobs.

I got the M7 predecessor to this - Samsung had discounted it and also had a cashback to clear stocks ready for the M8, so I got it for £187 ($244 inc tax). At that price, the M7 was well worth it just for being a 32" 4K monitor. After trying them out once (the built-in Office stuff was horribly laggy/slow and it had a Teams icon that told you it does nothing and you have to run Teams on your PC instead - ridiculous, but maybe they fixed that in the M8, especially now there's a webcam included), I don't even bother using any of the smart features because I have a Linux desktop attached. I did do the initial setup in my kitchen with nothing attached for the lolz and I do use the remote control to turn it off and on, but that's it. Every monitor, dumb or smart, should have a remote control in addition to onboard controls - it makes monitor UI navigation so much more convenient. One thing that the M7 suffered from was being a rather dark display (I believe this has been improved with the M8), but I found the right M7 settings to boost the brightness to a reasonable level (no, it's not just increasing the brightness to 50 [yep, 50 is the max, not 100]). The M8? Well, the $729 price is frankly ludicrous - three times the price of my M7! I like the M8 webcam (but I have a good Logitech USB 1080p webcam attached to my Linux PC already), but very little else seems to have improved over the M7. In fact, the M8 is available in 4 colours, none of which are the M7's black (all my kit is black and I suspect I'm not the only one) - it's very dumb of Samsung to not offer the M8 in black. Conclusion: M8 is a nice monitor but massively overpriced and not a big enough advance over the M7 to justify its price or even its existence. It's made me even happier that I got the M7 so cheap (trying to find a sub-£200 32" 4K dumb monitor in the UK is impossible, let alone a smart one).

This is what Apple should have done with the Studio Display. I honestly would replace my monitor I have now with this if it just had a touch screen and 120 htz.

Then the price would be 1200 an know has asked for a big ass touch screen monitor ever who want to reach over a desk

The different picture in picture mode they borrowed that from the old Dell monitor that was also a tv. Good to see that feature come back.

I like how they had montreal news on when showing the settings despite being on the other side of the country

already hate my TV being smart. I don’t want a smart monitor. Monitors are the last bastion for people who want dumb displays. I totally understand the use case for other people though.

YES. The display should last far longer than they will ever support the software. Don't add cost for something I'd rather get from a PC or dongle that can be replaced as needed as tech changes.

- No VESA mount - Micro HDMI - No audio out (headphone jack) It's deal breaker for me.

I have 2 questions? Can this be used with a mac mini? Can I use this alone for online class/teaching ?

My brain was so ready for a sponsor segue at 8:45 - what a missed opportunity :D Guess I definitely watch too many videos of you guys...

The idea of connecting a "Smart" monitor/TV to my desktop is, rather frightening...

I'm sure it'll be great in a year when Samsung fixes the inevitable firmware issues that have plagued almost every monitor they've released.

Can you game stream on the monitor through a browser, or your phone. With xcloud stadia or Luna?

Does it not have an audio out? as in a 3,5mm jack?

What I want is an IPS 32" - 40" 1440p display that supports ARC to use as a bedroom TV. No such product exists to my knowledge. "Smart" is a tick in the negative column. No display needs internet connectivity, "apps", or assistant BS (in fact no device ever needs assistant BS). I do NOT want to see service specific buttons on a remote. I want lots of discrete buttons for all inputs and menus.

I will not buy another smart display after Sony/Google decided to add banner advertisements consuming the top 1/3 of of my 3 year old $1000 TV during an update. They claimed that it's "for my benefit" but the feature that lets you turn off home screen components that you don't want is greyed out for the adverts.

I'll take a Sony with Google TV that's always supported. Every single LG and Samsung with webOS and Tizen lost support for Netflix, prime, and/or Hulu, and I needed to buy a Roku for all of them. The scrolling movie/TV show banner at the top is a non issue. For me, they're not really ads anyways, as I have access to all the shows they show in the banner anyways.

I wonder if the HDMI supports eARC or if there is an optical out

can someone let me know how the m8 speakers compares to the m1 mbp speakers?

This would be great if it didn’t have micro hdmi that’s a deal breaker for me. Full size HDMI and 120hz and this thing would fly off the shelves

Anything bad about this monitor: "who cares" Anything bad about Apple product: "big deal"

Can you run Parsec on it?? Even in the browser?

So how about running it WITHOUT the Samsung account. Is that a thing? What functions aren't available?

A Samsung product and you still have to evoke Apple to draw traffic. SMH.

This man is best for short-circuit unboxings

The important question is, does it have inbuilt ads? My samsung smart tv which I bought 4 years ago suddenly started showing ads few months ago. Whats the point of spending over $700 and still need to see ads.

When I saw “sponsored by Samsung” text, I immediately knew whose side he is.
