Samsung makes a variety of TVs and computer monitors, but if want both and you’re limited on space, you might want to consider the M80F. This capable 32-inch 4K panel combines features commonly found on both types of screens, and Amazon and B&H Photo both have it discounted to $349.99, where it’s usually $400 or much higher. In addition to acting as a standard 4K screen for your computer or console, the M80F has a full suite of video streaming apps you’d expect to find on a television, with picture-in-picture support for multitasking, plus a removable webcam for video chats.
The M80F has above-average connectivity for a monitor. In addition to the ports like HDMI 2.0, USB-C for charging devices up to 65W, and USB-A for your keyboard and mouse, you can also connect the Tizen interface to Wi-Fi to directly communicate with your network (it also supports Bluetooth headphones). Speaking of gaming, the M80F supports apps like Xbox and Nvidia GeForce Now, letting you pair a controller to the display to play games over the cloud. The VA panel is better suited for work than play, but HDR10 Plus support will help your movies and TV shows pop.
My colleague Cameron Faulkner reviewed a previous version of the M80F and appreciated its versatility, but the $699.99 launch price was a bit off-putting, so a discount on a newer, improved model is definitely worth calling out.
