Our Verdict
Samsung Smart Monitor M7/M70C S32CM70
Samsung Smart Monitor M80C S32CM80
The Samsung Smart Monitor M80C S32CM80 is a higher-end model than the Samsung Smart Monitor M7/M70C S32CM70. They perform very similarly, so the biggest differences are with their features. The M80C comes with Samsung's proprietary webcam, and while you have to buy it separately from the M70C, it still supports it. Their stands are different, but they offer the same good ergonomics. However, the M80C has better build quality as the plastic materials don't feel as cheap as on the M70C. Regarding picture quality, the M80C gets a bit brighter, but the M70C has better accuracy before calibration, so each has pros and cons.
