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

After finally purchasing a couple MiniPC's for both business and personal use, and using an old LCD 21" Wide Screen Monitor I had, I was finding that I must be spoiled by my 4K TV because the picture on that monitor which I thought was wonderful, just seemed so dull and it did not support 4K which I have come to love to watch 4K videos etc.I wasn't really sure what monitor to get, but I wanted something much larger, supported 4K, and that was at a very reasonable price. I did a lot of searching Amazon's product lists for monitors, and I came across this monitor, and I noticed that it was a curved screen. While I have never owned a curved screen anything, I had seen them at the local electronics store and was darn impressed. So I was very curious about this monitor because it had all the specs I was looking for, at least 27", Wide Screen, Support for 4K, Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080, LED, and had a curved screen. When I also noticed that it was a Samsung, I was pretty excited to learn more because I have always had very good luck with Samsung products and in fact, I have only had one Samsung product ever fail, and that was a mobile phone that should have stopped working years ago with what It went through.Not knowing much about monitors these days, I started reading the reviews that were written on this monitor and I asked the community a couple questions. The answers I got back to my questions sealed the deal for me. Everyone who responded had nothing but great things to say about this monitor and provided me in info I needed. So I decided to go for it.When it got here, unfortunately the first one had a broken screen. It appeared that it was packaged that way since the packaging was factory sealed but the packing was broken on the inside. Needless to say I returned it but Amazon really stepped up to the plate and sent me a replacement next day, so I was only delayed by 1 day getting to use it. Because the first monitor came with a broken screen, I am going to assume that the screen may be a bit on the frgile side as my old monitor has been dropped, and the LCD screen never had any issues, I don't know jf the screens on LED monitors are more easily broken, or If this was something that someone really dropped hard before packaging, for this reason I gave the durability 4 stars)Setup was a breeze! Just had to put 1 screw to put the base stand together, and that was it. The stand is about the only thing I really don't like because the base that sits on the desk is an upside down chevron shape, which sticks out in front of the monitor a few inches. This makes putting it on a small desk where your keyboard would be in front of it a bit of a pain because the keyboard has to be pulled closer to me and just gets in the way to me. I managed to get around that by putting the monitor up on a little shelf I made out of a box and an old Laptop lap desk that I had. It perfectly raises the monitor by about 4-5 inches, and let's me push the keyboard further back to where I now have more room on my desk. (Images added to show the base and how I worked around the chevron styled base to give me more room).The monitor has one HDMI port and one Display Port. Now I am not familiar with the Display Port, but all my devices are HDMI, so plugging in a PC is simple. In fact, I have 3 MiniPC's that I need to connect to this monitor so I bought a 5 port HDMI switch. This allows me to easily switch between each MiniPC with just a click of a button.The picture on this monitor is absolutely phenomenal! Once I plugged in the HDMI plug, turned on the monitor, it automatically scanned for the signal which it found right away and WOW! What a gorgeous picture. The colors are very bright and vibrant. The dynamics between the Black and White colors are stunning and the color definition is very vivid. For never using a curved screen before on a computer monitor, I am very impressed. It almost immerses you in to the picture and almost gives it a extra dimensional view, almost 3D in nature... The thing I worried most about with a curved screen was is there going to be any distortion with a curved screen and I am happy to say. "Absolutely Not!". The images looks perfectly flat, but because of the curve, it pulls the outer edges our of your peripheral vision and closer to your focused view when looking straight forward.Learning how to use the toggle button on the back for adjusting the settings van take a bit of getting used to, however, at this point, I haven't really needed to use any of the options other then Sleep and Shut Down as the defaults seem to be perfect for my setup.Unfortunately this monitor does not have built in speakers however, if you have speakers connected to you computer or use a set of Bluetooth Speakers you will be just fine.Overall my impression of this monitor is fantastic! The picture quality is stunning, and the size with the curves screen is awesome. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who wants an excellent monitor for home or office at a more then reasonable price. While I have not used the monitor for gaming, I have used a monitor that has the same 4ms refresh rate and that has the same native resolution of1920 x 1080 and that monitor is over 10 years old and still holds up today, so I can only imagine that this monitor would be perfectly fine for today's games. I am definitely glad that I went ahead and purchased this monitor, and should I need to replace the monitor that I amusing as a secondary monitor, I will likely purchase another one of this model! Again, Highly recommended and over all this monitor gets a full 5 Stars from me! ~

A great value for the perfect size monitor

This monitor is awesome! 🤩 The 27-inch curved screen makes everything feel super immersive, whether I’m gaming, watching movies, or working. The picture quality is crisp and clear, and the colors look really vibrant, way better than I expected for the price! It’s also ultra-slim, which gives my setup a clean, modern look. The AMD FreeSync and 4ms response time make a big difference when gaming, no lag, no stuttering, just smooth gameplay. 🎮🔥 If you need a solid, stylish, and affordable curved monitor, this one’s a total win! 🙌 Highly recommend! 👌

Needed to pick up a quick monitor replacement due to one of my two (flat) 24" Samsungs suddenly dying on me (have had them for a few years and typically use them 8-10 hrs/day). Was already thinking about upgrading my WFH set up to 27" curved monitors - so given the replacement situation I found myself in, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these inexpensive Samsung options. Delivery was same day with Prime, which is always a huge bonus.After installing it and dialing in the screen settings a bit, I'm generally happy with the performance and use I'm getting out of it...at least so far. I typically don't do any gaming or heavy movie/content watching from this particular set up, so the screen and picture quality are fine for my general work needs - I'm not in need of high dollar/high performance monitors. As long as this thing holds up over some time, I'll be purchasing another one to swap with the other 24" I'm still using.One note worth mentioning (not sure if others may have mentioned this), but if you're looking to mount this monitor on adjustable arms (not using the provided desk stand), you can do this; however, you'll need to pick up some spacers (not provided with monitor) so you can get the separation of space needed from the mounting bracket to the backside of the monitor - I used 1/2" spacers that I already had on-hand and they work fine. Some may see this as a pain in the neck, but it's an easy solution. It'd also be ideal if the portion of the desk stand on the back side wasn't permanently installed and was able to be removed, but is what it is - not a make or break for me...as long as the monitor functions properly, that's all I care about.Again, I can't speak to quality/performance when it comes to gaming or watching movies, but if you're looking for an cost friendly option to upgrade or if you find yourself in a similar situation that I did, I'd recommend this monitor.

Good quality for the price but there are better options if you don't mind spending a little more
