Our Verdict

Samsung Smart Monitor M80D S32DM80

Apple Studio Display 2026

Despite sharing design similarities, the Apple Studio Display 2026 and the Samsung Smart Monitor M80D S32DM80 are fairly different. The Apple has a higher resolution and sharper text clarity, and it's better for content creators thanks to its better accuracy. The Apple also supports Thunderbolt 5 to take advantage of the latest MacBooks, which the Samsung doesn't support. The Samsung has advantages in other ways, as it has a built-in smart system to stream content without a PC. The Samsung also has the slight advantage for console gamers because it has HDMI ports, which the Apple doesn't have.
