The main function on which the development and main efforts were concentrated was the addition of Smart TV applications and subscriptions, including the ability to access streaming video theaters and other applications.

The M8's case is 11.4mm thick, which required less uniform backlighting, but is significantly thinner than previous models. Another new feature is the SlimFit wearable camera, which is only compatible with firmware, which can be attached with a built-in magnet to the monitor for video calls. The monitor supports unused video chat applications such as Google Duo. We add that when using normal applications, the user will need to buy a webcam for video calls and participation in video conferencing.

Samsung has also integrated the SmartThings IoT Hub into the monitor, which allows the user to see and control the location of the various smart devices available directly from the smart monitor. Samsung has announced that the Smart Monitor M8 has a new Workspace feature that integrates work-related web services such as Microsoft 365 into an intuitive hub.

Another new feature is Game Home, allowing you to use the Smart Monitor M8 to stream games from cloud gaming services. Owners will also be able to connect wireless controllers to it, according to Samsung.
