Samsung's iMac like 32-inch smart monitor is getting a refresh with 4K resolution, USB-C connectivity, and AirPlay — the ultimate Mac companion for under $1,000?

Samsung Smart Monitor.

If you’ve ever bought yourself a brand new Mac and thought “I don’t want to spend double that on the Apple Studio Display”, you’re not alone. Fortunately, a brand new refresh of Samsung’s alternative has been announced at CES 2024 and it looks incredible. 

The Samsung Smart Monitor M80D is a 32-inch 4K display that only requires a single USB-C port to get hooked up to your devices. It’s also confirmed to have AirPlay 2 built-in, which means you can stream content straight to it from your iPhone, Mac, and iPad. Though we don’t know more of its specs just yet, last year’s model came with HDR 10 support, a 4ms response time, and a 60Hz refresh rate. If these features are also coming to the M80D, this could make it perfect as a display for the Mac Mini or a second display for a MacBook.
