Samsung launched two new screen products at CES today in Taiwan, namely the Smart Monitor M8 for smart connected screens and the Odyssey Neo G8 for gaming screens.

The Smart Monitor M8 features a built-in simple smart TV and Wi-Fi wireless network function. It can stream video and audio from services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video without going through a PC, and it comes with a dedicated remote control. At the same time, M8 can also be used as a control center for SmartThings to operate smart devices at home. What’s more special is that it is also equipped with a dedicated detachable magnetic video camera SlimFit Cam (below), but what Xiaobian can’t figure out is that if there is a Webcam, it should be left on it, and what should I do with it?

The Odyssey Neo G8 is a 32-inch 1000R curved gaming monitor with 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. It uses Quantum Mini LED backlight technology, which brings a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Although it is a large curved screen, the Neo G8 retains a fairly flexible base. In addition to the up and down height and left and right rotation, the screen can also be turned vertically – but the curved vertical screen is really quite visually subtle. And it is not easy to use with other screens. The Neo G8 is not expected to be available on major channels until early June, with a suggested price of NT$39,990.

In addition to the two new products, Samsung also announced that if you purchase the Smart Monitor M7 / M5 series products before the end of June, you will get Logitech’s wireless keyboard and mouse set, and the entire series of smart connected screens can participate in the Galaxy S21 FE. 5G bonus lottery.
