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

This is a gorgeous monitor at a very attractive price. I cant speak to its use as a gaming monitor, as I use it for general computing (email, web-browsing, docx and pdf file creation, YouTube and streaming video, etc.), but for my purposes it is wonderful. The curved screen is a real plus, especially at this large image size, and its a breeze to set up on a Windows 10 computer. A word of advice: the base of this monitor is different from the one shown in the Amazon ad. As you can see in the accompanying photo, the base is round, rather than the winged version that Amazon displays in its ad. (There are other models in the CF390 series that have the winged base, but not this one.) I was actually happy about that mismatch, as the round base seems preferable to me -- it takes up less room on my desktop. Note also that the printed documentation that comes with this monitor is meager, at best. There is little there but some hard-to-interpret ideograms for setting it up (with accompanying text in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese), and a brochure explaining the (to my mind, useless) Eye-Saver Mode in 34 different languages. Seriously! Whats missing is any instruction on the use of the joy-stick control on the back of the monitor, which is an all-purpose control for setting brightness, contrast, display mode, on-off, etc. Its pretty intuitive, but still, there should be something. Fortunately, there is a downloadable PDF at the Samsung website that is more like a proper users guide. But even that does not discuss the use of the joy-stick. What is it with the people who write documentation for tech products? But enough griping. This is a magnificent monitor at a very attractive price. I just love it.

Love my new work monitors. They are perfect all around.

the picture quality, especially with any type of text is AWFUL, I bought this monitor for work and reading anything on it SUCKS. You have to zoom in A LOT to get clear text but it messes with the image quality of everything else on the page.

The monitor with the display port in the back, it looks like a sister to HDMI. I got sent the other. Hence the missing star. I love it otherwise.

I bought this for my boyfriends gaming basket when modern warfare recently came out and he loves it. He now has 2 and the picture is clear and bright. Setting make everything easily adjustable and I was pleased that my package came undamaged.

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.

Stopped working after 4 years. I think I may have a defective one because many times the screen would not cut on when the cpu would power on. Always had to unplug/replug the power supply into the monitor for it to cut on I use the same model monitor at my church and it works fine. I probably should have returned mine at the first sign of defect.

I use this product daily for communications and playing card games. It is a good clear picture with decent response time. I would have given it 5 stars except that the button on the back to operate the menu and turn the screen off is clumsy and difficult to use especially if you have large fingers. I installed a 10 foot HDMI cable and discovered the screen would not turn off when I turned off my computer. Little icons rolled around the screen until it was manually turned off by the button in back, clumsily. I installed my old analog cable and the problem went away. The screen now turns off with my computer (windows 11). Would prefer an HDMI connection in case it would give a better picture. Does anyone have a similar complaint or solution.

The monitor with the display port in the back, it looks like a sister to HDMI. I got sent the other. Hence the missing star. I love it otherwise.

This is probably a user error because I am a 20-year-old girl. However, for the life of me, I cannot get the speakers on this monitor to work. I can tell that my computer is trying to push sound, as that is what it says the speakers are out-putting to. However, I cannot make it work on the computer. Also, I cannot find the sound buttons. It might have helped if I looked it up or found a manual, however, I havent. So in terms of a great monitor, it is awesome. It feels luxurious and is very easy on the eyes. I am running it off of my laptop and props to my laptop too, because she runs like a champ. Anyway, if anyone could tell me how to get the speakers on the monitor to work? I would be grateful, although the likelihood of me coming back to this post or this review page is extremely low. I will suffer in silence. thanks for reading.
