Our Verdict
Samsung Smart Monitor M8/M80C S32CM80
Samsung Smart Monitor M80D S32DM80
The Samsung Smart Monitor M8/M80C S32CM80 and the Samsung Smart Monitor M8/M80D S32DM80 are extremely similar 32-inch smart monitors. While the M80C has slightly better reflection handling, the M80D was released more recently and may receive smart OS updates longer. Given their similarities you may prefer to choose whichever one costs less.
