Samsung C24F390 24-Inch,2K DCI 1080p Curved LED Monitor - HDMI, VGA , Black

Its been a while since I have purchased a new monitor, however my hand was forced when I found my new PC does not have the old fashioned monitor output. So old 17 inch Iyama off to the charity shop. new Samsung in its place!I am not completely in the dark ages when it comes to monitors, I use 2, 22 inch flat monitors at work every day, and have to admit these are fine. However, this curves screen is fantastic! its clear, the colours are vivid and sharp (as delivered the brightness is set to max, you might want to turn that down a bit!). The USP, the curved screen is something else, the sales blurb talks about maintaining a constant distance to your eyes as you turn your head, although in the real world we tend to wiggle around and our heads don't stay in a fixed position relative to the screen, I think it does actually work. Certainly where at work with 2 screens I would have one reference document on one and my working document on another, with this monitor I can have both side by side and work just as comfortably on 1 monitor.Regarding games, I am certainly not qualified to venture an opinion on first person shoot em ups, I have been told that CoD isn't just a fish! I do use Asseto Corsa to learn race tracks and I an say for this its great, and I have no problems. Perhaps the more complex graphics of games like CoD combined with the rapid panning players tend to do whilst looking around cause the problems one of the reviewers mentioned,A great monitor at an unbelievable low price, All monitors should be curved!

SAMSUNG's reputation on quality precedes them, but for the spec of this monitor pre-release...I was feeling a bit wary.The price for the spec seemed off, a curved screen with fast refresh AND a SAMSUNG panel inside?Thankfully my concerns were laid to rest.I work from home, I used my old BENQ as my video editing screen, playing games, browsing the web and watching TV / Movies when my Firestick was plugged in...so I am definitely what you call an all rounder when it come to monitor use...I've had it a few weeks now and can safely say that it ticks all my boxes I needed for an all-purpose monitor.Connector wise, there's a HDMI port, VGA, audio (stereo) port for headphones or speakers and of course the low-power connection too.The curved element of the screen, gimicky as it seems without experiencing it is very cool, especially when gaming (it does indeed increase the level of immersion into the game you're playing...clever brain trickery indeed)The colours are vibrant, the clarity is exceptional and the brightness...especially when Samsung Magic is enabled...mind blowing.The controls and settings are all accessed from the rear joystick at the back of the panel, easy to use and access all the stuff you need to.For games and fast movement (such as the recent Euro 2016 games I've been watching) there is no tearing or similar visual issues you have with the lesser monitors out there.This truly is a wonderful monitor on every level and would and will happily recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality display for their setup.

Ideal as a primary or a secondary. Will likely need a separate stand or something to prop it up with to make it comfortable height, but overall a solid, inexpensive monitor.

This will be my first monitor purchase in over 5 years. My previous was a £100 TN panel from BenQ.First of all the colours are noticably more coloured. I already could see the difference when using my phones screen compared to my old monitor, but this brings it very close to how my phone looks, but just not quite. The main reason why I upgraded was the noticable blue tint in blacks with the Tn panel, and unfortunately it's a similar story here. It can be reduced with some fiddling in the settings, but not completely. An IPS would have been better here. My display calibrator reported 98% sRGB and 75% Adobe RGB which is not bad at all. The display dims nicely as well, useful for darker environments.For gaming, it's a less pretty story. While the response time is all good, there is some ghosting, particularly in the blacks. I found using the "fast" mode better than the "faster" for some crazy reason. It'll do me, but if you're an avid gamer, particularly playing competitve FPS, you'll need a better monitor. Mine OC'd to 70Hz.The build quality is actually not bad. Sure plastic is everywhere, but it doesn't creek too much, nor does it wobble. Assembling the stand was very easy, with no fuss at all. Despite using a single joystick for menu nativation, it's not as bad as some said. Easy to use without having to look at. The curve is very subtle, yet is very noticable. Some will like it, others less so. It will take some getting used to.For £120 I'd say it's good value for money, and a good cover all for

I purchased two of these monitors for use with my Surface Pro 4 and the Surface dock. Before I made my purchase I read all of the comments and reviews. I've got to admit, the overall quality of these monitors is superb. I am not a gamer as I only use these monitors when I work from home. I don't find any issues with the screen resolution. Neither do I find any issues when the screens wake up. As for the LEDs on the bottom of the screens, these can be toggled on or off using the toggle stick on the back of the monitor. The toggle stick on the back of the monitor is indeed very easy to use. Although the monitor height can't be adjusted they can be tilted. There are plenty of other products on the market that will enhance your viewing height so that's certainly not a negative point. The screen is crisp and clear and I would highly recommend these monitors for use in any working environment. As a non-gamer, I am unable to provide any reviews regarding frame rates.
