I currently have a DeX setup using my Tab S8 Ultra and an HD monitor. I connect via a USB-C hub which has built in HDMI and 1gE for the tablet.
If I had the M8, I would connect to it with USB-C and would like to plug my current hub into the Samsung Hub and connect the 1gE through the hub to my tablet. Will this work?

Interesting. I;m not sure if my hub, which has HDMI connector, can use the usbc data connection for video as well....is that what you're suggesting you need to do
? Device->ext hub->monitor usbc-video in
Thanks
And do you like the M8?

And honestly, there is zero lag in my current setup so if the M7 is an adequate monitor, I would connect it via HDMI like currently, and at $329 it's tempting.

That's how I do it now, I was just trying to determine of I could get away with only the USB-c from my Tab to the monitor, and then hang my current USB c hub off the back of the monitor (hub) and pass it's 1gE to my tab.

hub that contains usb-c hardwire for main device connection, hdmi, ethernet, usb-a, usb-c port, and display, so i was able to condense it all down to one hub. The hub can also be independently powered to allow the phone/tab to charge
OK, that is my current setup into an Asus 1080p monitor so no matter what I buy, I will stay with that.
I just realized that I have $228 in Samsung credit which makes my decision a little tougher. They are selling the M7 at $277 so my out of pocket would be $49 and the M8 at $539 would be $301
Since I'm not going to be able to take advantage of any of the new connection features on the M8 and I don't need the camera because of the Tab S8U, I can cross those off as added value. I do like the stand and thin design of the M8 and some of the added smart features but how much better is the M8 display I wonder. 100nits better brightness, is that the main display fifference, that and HDR10+ vs 10??
Thoughts anyone?
