Samsung just introduced a monitor that’s virtually identical to Apple’s M1-chip iMac.
Samsung just released a new monitor that follows the design lines we saw in Apple’s iMac. While it may be a more direct competition to the new Display Studio, this “Smart Monitor M8” looks much more like the colorful M1-chip iMac that Apple released a year ago. It’s a 32-inch 4K monitor that offers USB-C connectivity, AirPlay compatibility, and various Smart TV features baked into its design.
the The Smart Monitor M8 features a flat 4K UHD LCD screen which provides 400 nits of brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, HDR support and adaptive picture technology that automatically adjusts screen brightness and color temperature for viewing comfort, similar to True Tone d ‘Apple.
The Samsung M8 monitor looks a lot like Apple’s iMacs
The monitor body has a thickness of 11.4 mm, i.e. it is only 0.1 mm thinner than Apple’s iMac. We have a flat back, slim frames, and a height-adjustable stand with tilt function. The monitor has Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connectivity, a micro HDMI port and two USB-C ports, one of which offers 65W charging. It has two 5W speakers cameras and a detachable magnetic 1080p SlimFit webcam.
Samsung goes back to old ways, even copying colors
As for colors, we have four: Sunset Pink, Spring Green, Daylight Blue and Warm White. They are exactly the same colors that Apple offers in its iMac line entry, Blue, Green, Pink and Silver, offering the colors Yellow, Orange and Purple in the higher versions.
Comparison of Apple’s iMac and the new Samsung monitor
This is not the first time that Samsung has taken inspiration from one of Apple’s devices or one of its services, in fact the two companies had lengthy patent lawsuits for copying the iPhone. In this case, Apple has again set a design trend and it’s no surprise that we see many monitors similar to the new iMac.
At least in this case, Samsung didn’t first criticize Apple and then blatantly copy it, as for the notch. There is no doubt that the design of the iMac attracts a lot of attention, so it is normal that other brands are inspired by it.
