Score: 84/100
Samsung M8 M80D
Score: 78/100Rankings
Acer's Nitro GA321QU P combines a fast 180 Hz IPS panel with 1 ms response time and integrated Google TV, offering both high-performance gaming and streaming in one unit. The monitor's modest 250 nits brightness and low-power speakers are trade-offs for its speed and smart features. Ideal for competitive gamers who also want built-in TV capabilities.
The Samsung M8 (M80D) is a 32-inch 4K smart monitor that combines HDR10+ imaging with a full Tizen TV experience. Its main trade-offs are a 60 Hz panel and limited connectivity. Best suited for hybrid home-office users who want a compact, feature-rich display for media and light productivity.

Professional reviewers position the GA321QU P as a high-performance gaming display that also serves as a smart TV hub. They commend its 180 Hz WQHD panel, low latency, HDR10 and FreeSync/G-SYNC support, while highlighting the convenience of Google TV integration for a cable-free entertainment experience.
Although direct user reviews are scarce due to the recent launch, feedback on comparable Nitro monitors points to appreciation for the sharp WQHD image, smooth FreeSync gameplay and the added value of built-in streaming apps, with no major complaints surfacing yet.
Professional reviewers view the Samsung M8 as an ideal space-saving solution for users who want TV-like smart features without a full-size television. They praise its 4K resolution, HDR10+ support and robust smart platform, but consistently note the 60 Hz panel and lack of DisplayPort limit its appeal for serious gamers and power users.
Everyday consumers value the monitor's versatility, citing the convenience of built-in streaming apps, USB-C docking and adequate built-in audio. Common criticisms focus on the limited stand adjustability, single HDMI input and brightness that may fall short in bright rooms.
