SAMSUNG 27-Inch CF39 Series FHD 1080p Curved Computer Monitor, Ultra Slim Design, AMD FreeSync, 4ms response, HDMI, DisplayPort, VESA Compatible, Wide Viewing Angle (LC27F398FWNXZA), Black

Its my first curved monitor and after a week or so using it has proved to be a good purchase. Of course, all the needs vary from one person to another though it met mine. It was easy to set up, didnt need to go through the installation booklet instructions but read everything else.

Overall, it is an excellent monitor for the price.

I work from my home office as a software engineer so Im in front of my screens practically all day. I bought 3, two for me and one for my wife. I replaced two 24 HP flat screens with these bad boys. These being my first curved screens, I was a bit concerned that I wouldnt like the curved effect (it seemed a bit gimmicky to me), however, I couldnt be happier. The brightness and clarity of these screens are also superior to my previous screens. I fiddled with brightness, sharpness, contrast but, in the end, I didnt have to tweak them all that much. The default settings are pretty nice. While these screens are larger, they still have a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 so dont expect a super fine HD quality image. They were a breeze to assemble. Just snap the base into the slot in the monitor. I like the stand itself. Its very low profile and leaves more space on my desk for my keyboard (wireless, illuminated, Logitech K800 - I suggest picking one up) and mouse (Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 - nothing fancy, gets the job done). When I bump my desk there is a bit of a wobble to the screens but its not bad or very noticeable. Sometimes when Im vigorously typing away, I will get a little wobble, but, again, I remain unperturbed. I was crossing my fingers (figuratively of course) when I pulled the screens from the box and examined them for damage. The surface of each of the three screens I purchased was in flawless shape and after getting them hooked up, I looked for any dead pixels, color lines, etc. that would be a no-go. Im pleased to say that all three screens were in top shape. I primarily use Visual Studio and I found that I had to change the font from the default Consolas to another, finer, monotype font (I found a free one called Monofur that works perfectly at 12pt) in order to optimize font clarity and lines of code on the screen. With these screens Consolas at 12pt was way too big. And simply reducing the font made it ugly (pixelated, blocky, etc.) so I wanted something better. Im not sure how well the screenshot will translate to your current screen but Ive captured a little snippet to share how clear my screen looks to me. As for the curved effect, I was a bit concerned after reading other reviews, some of which go on about how terrible they are for spreadsheets. Im not sure what thats all about since I find that these screens are ideal for looking at long lines of text across the screen for extended periods. When these screens are in front of you the curve itself is almost imperceptible. As I mentioned, I use two screens sitting side-by-side and I find that these perfectly wrap my work area in a more immersive way that my previous non-curved screens. My wife works on the other computer as an editor (so again lots of text and spreadsheets) and she absolutely loves it. The ONLY complaint I have at the moment is that when I sit these two screens adjacent to each other, the tops/bottoms dont line up perfectly. One edge is raised about 1/4 over the other. I havent fiddled with the monitor positions too much to see if I can correct it since I dont really notice it while Im working. I have a few thoughts on how to remedy it if it actually starts bothering me so I really cant complain. Overall, if youre looking for a nice upgrade to your current screen without breaking the bank, these screens will do the job nicely.

We replaced two older and smaller Samsung flat screen monitors with two of these 27 curved displays. With the HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand we also purchased to hold these, it is a wonderful improvement to our office computer.

The HDMI cord they sent was dirty and had to be cleaned before it would even work, then it kept disconnecting every time I moved my laptop or if I breathed too close to it. The screen itself is great and was easy to setup.

My job requires multiple displays due to the large amounts of information I must track at once. This curved display fits in nicely with my other monitors. I used a VESA mount to secure it to the Walli mounts I already had. Highly recommend.

Plenty has been said about this monitor. The only thing I wish it had was both HDMI & DataPort. I had to buy a DataPort-> HDMI adapter as my Lenovo dock only has a single HDMI and 2 DataPorts, and this monitor has only an HDMI & VGA. The adapter was only $8.20. I know, I know, its a low cost monitor (I paid $149 w/Prime free shipping). How much extra would it cost to have both ports? SUGGESTION: Rather than a HDMI & VGA, why not a HDMI and Dataport, and those who need VGA can buy an adapter? There are far more monitors with HDMI & Dataport than VGA in 2022. This is a only a minor nit.

OVERALL PICTURE QUALITY -> Good. OOTB settings are not optimal but can be adjusted to make the picture look good. (See settings below) VIDEO QUALITY -> Very good TEXT QUALITY -> Fair -> Average BLACK DEPTH -> Average WHITE -> Very good COLORS -> Very good SIZE -> 23.5 diagonal screen view VESA -> The monitor has a VESA mount compatibility, my suggestion is go for a mount. PROS: -Extremely lightweight -Good picture (after settings adjustment) even in bright light -Low price & excellent value for money -VESA Compliant CONS: -Basic monitor with no add-ons like speakers or USB -Dont expect the samsung LED TV quality at this price OVERALL: I recommend the monitor because you wont find anything better at this price. However I do recommend buying a mount so that you have a better viewing angle and wont hurt your neck. The unit I got had been repackaged and missing the screws to the stand which makes it a little unstable. Im likely going to order 2x27 instead. UPDATE TO SETTINGS If you are not liking the picture quality on your Samsung Monitor particularly if your screen is pale looking, you need to adjust the settings. Samsung should have done a better job at providing this OOTB but they havent. Please follow these settings in the order listed 1) Goto MENU -> SYSTEM FreeSync: ULTIMATE ENGINE 2) Goto MENU -> PICTURE Brightness: 56 Contrast: 94 Sharpness: 36 (COLOR) Red: 50 Green: 54 Blue: 100 Samsung Magic Upscale: Mode1 HDMI Black level: Low Eye Saver Mode: OFF Game Mode: OFF Leave a comment or upvote if it helps please.
