The Samsung M8 32-inch smart monitor can serve not only as a webcam monitor, but also as a smart TV with built-in speakers and support for cloud gaming and streaming platforms. You can get it now for $590 ($110 to $140 off) at Amazon in white or green and $590 at Samsung in all colors. This beats the previous low price we saw on Amazon earlier this year.

As a computer monitor, the M8 Smart Monitor offers UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) up to 60Hz, as well as HDR10+. With a VA panel, it's quite bright at 400 nits, offers a 4 ms response time, and displays up to 1 billion colors at 99% sRGB coverage. In terms of inputs, you get USB-C and Micro HDMI 2.0 inputs, as well as a USB-C charging interface. Finally, it has a detachable SlimFit camera for video calls, making it a good choice for content creation at work or in everyday life.

However, this is only half the story. It is a smart TV with Wi-Fi compatible with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + and Apple TV, as well as cloud gaming platforms. It comes with two built-in 5W speakers and a home hub that lets you use it to control SmartThings-enabled IoT devices like lights and thermostats. It also has built-in support for Microsoft 365, so you can edit documents or browse the web without having to connect it to your computer.

Other features include the ability to change angle and position with an adjustable stand on top and a game bar that lets you easily switch between cloud services. Typically, the white model sells for $700 and the color model is $730, so the latter (green at Amazon; green, pink, and blue at Samsung) is $590.
