Samsung CF390 Series 27 inch FHD 1920x1080 Curved Desktop Monitor for Business, HDMI, VGA, VESA mountable, 3-Year Warranty, TAA (C27F390FHN), Black

This is a gorgeous monitor at a very attractive price. I can't 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 it's 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!What's 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. It's pretty intuitive, but still, there should be something. Fortunately, there is a downloadable PDF at the Samsung website that is more like a proper user's 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.

This monitor is a great buy; it has a great picture quality and is the perfect size for using working from home. I initially received this as a gift, but liked it so much I purchased a second one. The curved screen is a nice touch, it definitely is more comfortable to look at in a dual monitor setup than having 2 traditional flat panels. I also appreciate that while the bases are large, they are flat, which allows you to set items on them without rolling off. The only feature that doesn't quite make sense is the headphone jack; it is located next to the power port, so it isn't easily reached without standing up or fumbling around the back with your hand. It would've been nice to see the port located near the screen edge or by the power button so it can be quick to reach, but that isn't a huge drawback.

I have used this monitor enough to say that I'm glad I got the curved screen. To get the same expansive view with a flat screen would take about a 30" unit. Because of the corner position of my desk with credenza, it ended up 3 or 4 inches closer to me than the 24" flat monitor it replaced, which was partially tucked under the credenza. My viewing distance is about 24". If I lean forward a couple of inches to view details with my bifocals, I can make out the pixels; but all text, pictures, and videos are plenty sharp for my viewing. The colors are excellent, the blacks are quite good. I have separate speakers which are better than those on board.The screen did come with a single vertical cyan line about a 1/2 inch from the left side. It shows up primarily when the screen is white. It's a minor annoyance that I have chosen to live with. Other than everything seems to work as advertised.Installation was easy except that I had to crawl under my desk to plug into my desktop computer. I found some dust that had been down there for a while.

The Samsung CF390 Series 27-inch FHD Curved Desktop Monitor for Business has proven to be an excellent addition to my workspace.

It seamlessly integrated with my existing setup, allowing me to start using it right away without any technical hassles.The curved display is the standout feature of this monitor. It adds depth and dimension to visuals, creating a more engaging and realistic feel when working or enjoying multimedia content. The wide 178-degree viewing angles ensure consistent image quality from various positions, making it ideal for collaborative projects or presentations.I appreciate Samsung's inclusion of a 3-year warranty and TAA compliance, offering peace of mind and assurance of the product's quality and longevity. The monitor's sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance to my workspace, contributing to a professional and modern aesthetic.While the overall performance is commendable, I would have liked to see some additional ergonomic features, such as height adjustability or swivel options, to cater to various user preferences and enhance comfort during extended use.In conclusion, the Samsung CF390 Series 27-inch FHD Curved Desktop Monitor is an excellent choice for both business and personal use.
