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

I love the curved monitor, no glare, looks really nice! But, two things could be a lot better: 1) The rear mount that attaches the base does not come off. This is now a random piece of plastic hanging off the bottom of an arm-mounted monitor which makes no sense. If its compatible with an adjustable arm mount, why would the plastic arm for the desktop base not come off? Just make it removable with some screws or snaps or something! 2) It scratches really easily. I have two permanent scratches where something accidentally bumped the screen and left a mark that seems to be permanent and wont wipe off. If youre a really careful person, this might not be an issue, but god forbid you swat a fly and hit the screen by accident, youll be staring at that mark for the rest of the life of the monitor.

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.

Love the size! Its not too big but also not too small, and I love how it curves. The picture quality is crisp, clear and is a great addition for those who have a work-from-home desk job. Theres also a setting that makes it easy on the eyes from working on it all day, which I really love! I also recently purchased a new desk and two VESA mounts, so I went ahead a bought another one of these monitors to go with it. Looking forward to mounting these bad boys up! Ill send another update once my setup is complete! I havent used them for gaming yet, but I plan on it and will include it in my next review update. Great purchase and inexpensive! UPDATE! 5/11/21 - The VESA mounts fit perfectly on both of my monitors! If youre thinking of going this route, I highly recommend it! I would also recommend getting a cord box organizer which really helps for organizing wires and hiding the mess. The brand I ordered was Dmoose. My work from home office is now complete!

I wanted a wide monitor so I could work with two or three windows open at the same time without having to go with multiple monitors at a single workstation. I know that this is touted as a gaming monitor, but I am not a gamer. I am a writer, so mostly I use LibreOffice and/or FocusWriter to compose stories and set up the books layout. I also manage my home library from this station and it is useful to be able to display information on, say, a hundred-year-old German language adventure story and the fields of Library Thing at the same time when I am entering information. It is also useful when entering data into a spreadsheet from online bank statements and/or mutual fund reports. The monitor fits into the space available on my desk and does not crowd the other items there. Assembly was simple, and though there is an owners manual, I did not use it. The back of the monitor has standard VGA and HDMI interfaces and perhaps others. I used the VGA interface with my antique. The Fedora Core 33 OS had no trouble adapting to the new monitor. The curvature of the screen took a few minutes to get used to, but after that initial adjustment period, I no longer really noticed it. All in all, I am glad that I bought this monitor, saving myself the difference in the cost of a television with an HDMI interface which I really did not need in the first place. Ive been using Samsung devices for some years now and never had one that failed to perform well. The only one of their products that Ive ever had to replace was the television that my adult severely autistic son put his fist into during a tantrum.... and even that one COULD have been repaired I suppose as only the screen was broken. I dont think you could go wrong with this one and while you can get perfectly serviceable monitors these days at second hand stores for five bucks, this one will outclass them by a wide margin.

First of all this is the first product I’ve ever ever ever reviewed! Only because after reading all of the previous reviews, I was skeptical. I have been in need of making a home office, but did not wanna replace my 2015 MacBook Pro, because I spent so much money on it! I needed an external screen, so that I would not have back and shoulder pain, looking down all day. At first, when I plug in my HDMI cables, I was so disappointed because I could only see the background of my MacBook Pro. I could not see it in real time. Then I was able to research another review that explained to go into display settings under apple menu. That was a game changer! I follow those directions, and my picture is unbelievably clear! If I need a second external screen, I will definitely buy this one again. Kudos!

ok, i already have another monitor dedicated to Gaming. this monitor will be specifically used for internet windows and some videos. my MAJOR complaint is how you MUST remove the back panel to remove the desk mount. that is NEVER noted or explained in the directions in any way, you have to google it. aside from that i am pleased with the monitor so far. i STRONGLY advise you to cut the brightness down to 50%. that 100% is enough to be a flashlight in your face in a dark room once you open google. there are no intuitive controls, the power button is a directional pad/button. so that took a minute to figure out. i will likely be getting a second unit to accent the build and offer more screen space. TECHNICALLY this is a 24 inch resolution stretched to a 27 inch screen, so YOU WILL see some minor distortion and maybe some fuzzy print. you will have to alter that via the setting available in the unit, or through the GPU software settings. i am usually pleased with Samsung products, so i am happy that this monitor keep the expectations.

To start I have only had the monitor for a week. It’s an upgrade from a 6 year old Asus 23” monitor. I’m using it with an ABS computer equipped with a 3.40 gigahertz AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core processor with 16gb Ram. It has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Display adapter. The display is crystal clear and a major improvement from the 23” Asus and I love the curved screen. Picture quality is outstanding and text very easy to read. All in all, a great monitor for the price. Cons The setup instructions suck, but I was able to figure it out and complete the install. The control button is on the lower right back of the monitor and can be a bit of a hassle machining changes. The middle of the button acts as a toggle switch to control left/right and top/bottom options and takes a bit to get use to.

These are my first curved screens and they have been great. I purchased these for my work-at-home setup with adjustable desktop arm mounts and they were easy to put together. The picture quality is great. So far, no complaints.

I bought this for my office computer not gaming. Love that its curved and great size for the price. Works great, has all needed inputs Id ever want. Easy to use menu. Great buy for the price.
