- Is the M8 good for gaming?
- Only casually. The panel runs at 60 Hz with a 4 ms response time, so fast shooters will feel slower than on a 144 Hz gaming monitor. It has no DisplayPort and a single HDMI 2.0 input.
- Can it replace a TV?
- For a bedroom or small room, largely yes. Tizen includes the major streaming apps, and the 32-inch 4K panel with HDR10+ handles movies well. It lacks a tuner and has 10 W stereo speakers, so a soundbar helps.
- Does USB-C charge a laptop?
- Yes. The USB-C port delivers up to 65W, enough for most ultrabooks, and carries the display signal over the same cable.
- What is in the box?
- The monitor, a power cable, an HDMI cable, a USB-C cable, a remote control and the detachable camera.
- Can it be wall mounted?
- Yes. It uses a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount, and the included stand adjusts for height, tilt and pivot.
- How does it compare with the M7?
- The M8 adds a higher 400-nit brightness, the detachable webcam and a slimmer design over the M7. Both share the 32-inch 4K VA panel, Tizen apps and USB-C charging.
