This display has a lot going on for it, but I don't know any photo/video people who would even compare the two panels. It's mostly just a smart display with nice connectivity options - but anyone looking for a professional panel for editing - this isn't it.
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.
hey i got the exact monitor after your video but i am unable to connect my smart monitor webcam to my mac mini ..... can you please suggest a way to connect it???
thanks for this video. I saved a ton by purchasing the m80c 27 inch. 32 was too big for my workspace. It look great once you adjust the picture settings.
I just purchased this monitor which I'm using with a 2023 Macbook Air. Every time I connect this monitor to my MBA via USB C, I have to reselect the high resolution settings and audio output settings via Apple System Preferences every single time. Is there a method around this?
i think quality of the display is great, but it looks really wobbly. Also does anyone know if you need to select the channel each time you start your computer? That would drive me nuts. Using an older 27" Cinema Display now.
She seemed have scaled the display from mac os to make the text and icons larger to be easily seen i love to do that to not hurt my eyes by working many hours infront of tiny text so i love to do that also.
I am unable to get the Samsung camera to appear on my MacBook Air. It doesn't show up as an option on Zoom, QuickTime, or FT. Does anyone have any suggestions?
try hitting the Bluetooth icon on the top of your computer screen then search and make sure you hit the Bluetooth discoverable buttons on your mouse/keyboard...that's for Mac ...
Hello Erin. Your video is fantastic! Thanks for uploading it. I have a question... my macbook doesn't recognize the monitor's camera. I use my macbook connected via hdmi and when I enter google meets the camera does not appear. The only camera my macbook detect is itself camera. How did you do?
Good question; I don't quite remember as this review was some time ago. And I would check for you right now but the monitor was only on loaned to me from Samsung. :/
Is it safe to use the USB C cable that comes with the M8 monitor for MacBook Pro M1 while is also charging my laptop? is it safe for my laptop if I get the charging through the monitor?
You must have been a tv journalist - terrific review 😊 If by any chance u come across this - - any updates u can recommend? (My Mac laptop screen went out + I have to quickly buy a large screen to connect via HDMI; don’t have a lot of time to shop around - just need to make a fast / worthwhile investment; prefer a 32” + that my laptop screen won’t block it) great video - cheers!
I’m glad to have found this channel. I enjoy the reviews! I was wondering, how do you compare it to the Lg ultra fine ergo 4K 32” monitor you reviewed 2 years ago?
Great question! The LG ultrafine ergo did come with that really cool articulating monitor arm which was super convenient. So these are two very different form factors, but I’d say they’re completely comparable on display panel.
Great review! Quick question - has anyone been able to make the microphone work successfully with Mac via Thunderbolt/USB-C? The camera shows up great, but every time we try to use the mic it sounds like we're under bubbly water... however, if we just use the built-in Google Duo app it sounds fine (just echo-y).
Hi Erin - great review. I came across yours and another which definitely help in my buying decision. I need a white or other colour, yet I also need a comparable Apple kind of display. The Studio is too expensive. This is pricey too but I will likely splurge for all the other features it offers. I plan to use for a Mac Mini and a couple Laptops (swapping in and out).
@Erin Lawrence Erin, first of all. Thanks for the review; helps a lot. I have but only two questions. 1. Does it charge MacBook while being connected via any wire like USB-c or hdmi? 2. Does the monitor or MacBook when connected to the m8 monitor -- gives any static electricity? As you know since Apple stopped giving three pin/prong adapter, there is static electricity issue while charging MacBook despite plugging it into grounded connection. And most importantly, M8 monitor do not come with three pin/prong plug.
This monitor is indeed amazing! Just got it 2 hours ago, and funny enough I also switched from the Samsung G5 display as you mentioned in the end. That was NOT ideal for me
You can put it on a vesa mount adaptor for it now and put it on a monitor arm, Mines is mounted so, I know. The video quality is not good so, I'm sending mines back to amazon for another 4k monitor with better quality.
How did you get the webcam to work? I have a Mac Studio and bought this monitor, the only way I can get this to work as a monitor without airplay is to use the hdmi, when this is connected I can not get the webcam to work on facetime or zoom.
Wow people R using bigger and bigger screens I remember when 15" comp mont was biggest but now 24" became small comp screen. It's becoming of LED living room TV now there R 42" comp mont. I wonder how large its size going to be in future? 52"? Oh just found 49" comp mont Sammy. I guess then gonna 🐝 65" comp mont 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got an amazing deal at Canada Computers, they had a price drop from $599 to $399 for the blue plus $100 click coupon online, so $351 taxes included. So far I’m really satisfied with the M8.
