    Throughout the first month we had this monitor, it worked fairly well. Speakers were okay, display was pretty decent. Low refresh rate, but not a huge concern. After a month of having this monitor, and with no physical stress, the display cracked down the middle out of the blue. It was not in use when the display cracked. It is no longer usable, and purchasing a new monitor would be more cost efficient than fixing it. Internal components seem to be questionable. Would not recommend.

    Theres just something about a nice big curved monitor that always just makes you feel more immersed in your screen. This being a 27” monitor, it is perfect for a home office and even for gaming. It fits perfectly on your desk without taking up too much real estate because it is so thin and the base is nice and flat. Out of the box all you really have to do is attach the base to the monitor. It literally takes just a few seconds to do and you will be up and running. On the back there is 2 HDMI and a digital input as well as a headphone jack and what they call a service port. I’m assuming that’s for doing software updates and things if you need to. The computer also has a pretty nice set of built in speakers. This will save you even more real estate on your desk by not having a separate set of speakers as well! Sure, they aren’t the most amazing speakers with a subwoofer or anything. But for day-to-day tasks and watching streaming videos and music you will be just fine. They actually sound pretty good! As far as performance, this monitor is kind of touted as a gaming monitor on a budget kind of thing. Which it absolutely is. It is a 75hz monitor, so nothing spectacular, but definitely good enough for gaming. It does only go up to 1920x1080, so you won’t get a 4K experience, but at the same time you wont be spending a thousand dollars on a monitor, so I think it’s a fair trade off. Serious gamers might want to look elsewhere though. I think the niche for this monitor is for someone who wants to use it as a everyday monitor in a home office type situation, or maybe a college student. It is perfect for surfing around on the web, watching streaming videos and music, doing office tasks like email and things, and then doing occasional gaming. For its price, you cant go wrong, I would definitely check it out if you are looking for a budget monitor that can do everything!

    Basic monitor at premium price

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’m a fan of Samsung displays. I have no qualms with the image quality of this monitor, but it doesn’t feel worth the cost. Even with the speakers, which can only be described as “basic” don’t make up for the lack of mounting options and height/angle adjustments. And while I don’t dislike curved screens, it seems unnecessary for screens smaller than 34 inch. In essence, I feel like the curve brings with it a premium price that’s not really worth it. IN THE BOX AND SETUP The contents of the box is like any other monitor. There’s the stand, the display, power cable, and HDMI and display port cable. There’s also the back cover of the monitor that hides the ports. Attaching the stand to the monitor was simple, but it requires a screwdriver. I really wish it came with a thumb screw, but this is a minor annoyance as you’re not likely to unscrew the base. There’s 2 HDMI 1.2 ports and 1 display port and a 3.5 mm audio port. The screen is obviously curved which supposedly reduces eye strain at the outer edges of the screen. DISPLAY It’s full HD which is perfectly acceptable and maybe even preferred by some. But when my work monitor at my office is QHD, the downgrade in resolution is definitely noticeable. However, the FHD resolution is perfectly fine. Its default refresh rate is 60 HZ, but you can change the settings in Windows to get it up to 75 HZ. Again, going off past experiences, 75 HZ refresh rate isn’t something that you’re likely to notice. To me, you really need to get to 144 HZ to really tell a difference in the refresh rate (a higher refresh rate basically means smoother animations). It has FreeSync, which is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. By default it was off, and you have to turn it on via the monitor’s menu (it was simple). My computer has a dedicated NVIDIA GPU. In playing Far Cry I didn’t notice any screen tearing with it on. I didn’t test it with it off, but I was satisfied with the performance, nonetheless. My other go to game is Lego Builder, which is less graphically demanding, and again, experienced smooth gameplay. I had some issues playing Cyberpunk, but I’m still struggling with getting my settings just right with my graphics card, so I don’t blame that on the monitor. It’s plenty bright, and has basic screen adjustment options. There’s a game mode, but it’s tough to say what it does. You just toggle it on and off. It has an eye saver mode, and while I like the idea of having a picture mode that helps with eye strain, it turns the screen amber, which I don’t like. I guess I’d rather suffer eye strain than look at an amber screen. But the point is, the option’s there. DESIGN AND OTHER FEATURES It comes with two 5 watt speakers built in. They are fine. If you’re serious about gaming or watching videos, you won’t want to rely on them. But if you’re using this for work and just need ANY speakers, they are plenty adequate. I found them adequate enough for a Zoom call, and playing background music. And while they certainly work playing games, I definitely plugged in my 2.1 Logitech speakers instead for more bass. The speakers are a nice addition to simplify your setup, but depending on your needs, you might want more power. I also have a 42 inch curved Samsung monitor. It’s awesome. It’s so wide, the curvature of the screen feels necessary. I just don’t feel the same way with a smaller 27 inch display. Sure, it’s fine and I do like it, but I feel like you’re paying a premium for this curved monitor without it being entirely necessary - like a 42 inch monitor. That being said, I like the design of the monitor. It looks nice and professional, the base is pretty small and the bezels are minimalist (although I’ve seen smaller bezels). The back of the monitor, which frankly, you’ll probably never find yourself staring at, looks like cheap plastic because it is. The design of the monitor and how it looks is fine, but for one big caveat: There’s no option to mount the monitor. You’d have to buy something else if you wanted to mount it to the wall or an arm attached to your desk (which I like to do to give me more space on my desk). On top of that, you can’t adjust the height. I like the middle of my monitor to be at eye height. It sits way too low for me, and there’s no adjustment. I can’t even tilt it back to face me. The only option is to prop it on something. CONCLUSION There’s certainly nothing wrong with this monitor. True to Samsung, the picture quality is terrific. I have no qualms with that. I like the inclusion of speakers which are nice depending on your needs and eliminates having speakers on your desk if you can live with the quality of the built in speakers. The curved screen is also nice, but I have my doubts on how much benefit to preventing eye strain it provides at 27 inches. But the inability to adjust the height or tilt is a big deal to me; not to mention the inability to mount it out of the box. At the end of the day it feels like a budget monitor at a more premium price. I can’t speak to the value/cost of all monitors but it just feels like for what it is, you can get a similarly featured monitor at a better price. The 75 HZ refresh rate doesn’t do much for me as the benefits over 60 HZ are negligible.

    Great Curved Screen for Gaming!

    PROS: - Unboxing was super easy and straight forward! It’s pretty light and the stand is very sturdy and gives a premium feel. Really setup is just connecting the stand and powering on. - The curved monitor is really high end. I love how it contours to the content and helps your line of sight as well as the overall immersion into the game or content you are on. - Gaming does indeed look phenomenal on it! It has fast response time, great refresh rate, and the colors look crisp and clear. - A really huge addition is the speakers as well! They sound nice and do a good job with gaming and content, and its just nice you do not have to buy separate speakers for your computer. CONS: - My biggest con is that I had issues with sharpness when trying to use the monitor for reading emails, etc. It just does not look that great when working on it which is surprising because games and movies look great on it. - The monitor is not wall mountable and the stand is stationary as well as in no tilt and no raise/lower. - Would have liked to see a USB-C / Thunderbolt connection as well, which it does not have. BOTTOM LINE: The Samsung S39C Curved monitor is a great buy for content consumers! It is great for gaming, the built in speakers are great additions, and the curved display really helps make you feel immersed in the content. It still needs some work on its sharpness for day-to-day work life, but overall gives a great experience for your monitor needs!

    After using it for a few days I can say without reservation that I really love this Samsung curved monitor. Despite a few minor flaws that I will elaborate on later in my review, I find the look and performance to be superb. I personally like the curved design because I like the immersion it creates. I also like that when used as part of a multi monitor display, that the curve slightly narrows my field of view so I can see more without having to shift my eyes as much. Because the benefits of a curved screen are very dependent on personal preference, I recommend that if this would be your first curved screen, that you go to your local Best Buy and see it in person. My significant other told me that she really likes it, but a friend told me that he preferred a traditional non-curved monitor after he saw it. The unpacking and setup were typical, except for the quirky method that the stand attaches to the monitor. The stand has to be initially inverted before the screw is attached, and then rotated around to the correct orientation before the screw can be finally tightened so it is secure. Like I said, somewhat quirky but the steps are illustrated in the setup sheet. I think this is something that should be changed in the future because if someone doesn't check the instruction before they try to attach the stand, in what appears to be the correct orientation, could result in the screw being stripped Included in the box are an HDMI cable, DisplayPort cable, and the power adapter. The color and picture quality are excellent. I am using it in cinema mode and find the color temperature to be pleasantly warm without too much red shift. It is a full HD monitor so it is capable of rendering content in the 1080P resolution. The 75Hz refresh rate makes this monitor suitable for gaming. I tested it with Fortnite and was very pleased with the experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the 2 internal 5 watt speakers. They sound much better than most other monitor speakers. I personally use headphones so as to not disturb others, but I would rate them as being suitable for basic listening which is something that I have not been able to say about monitor speakers in a long time. The monitor height is not adjustable and I consider this to be a minor flaw. I will probably compensate for this at some point by using a stand to raise the height. The tilt is thankfully adjustable This is my second Samsung monitor and I love this one as much as I love the first one. Samsung makes great displays and this monitor lives up to that expectation. It looks great and has amazing picture quality. This curved display is perfect for watching movies and gaming, and I strongly recommend that you give it a look.

    This is first time owning a curved monitor and i like it. I like the way this Samsung s39c 27" 1000R looks esthetically on my desk and the way it displays the picture! Very minimalist with bezel-less design and a nice metal stand i verry content with it! One thing about the mount, you will need a cross screw driver to tighten up the screw otherwise will pop in place but be really wobbly. It's got 2 HDM's as well a DirectDisplay port and a headphones output which makes it a great all around monitor. Now thinking that also has 2 speakers integrated that sound very well makes it a great value also! It doesn't support HDR and the maximum resolution goes up to 1080p but the picture reproduction is a amazing. I played some ps4 games on it and i was impressed with the quality, smoothness of the image. I found the curvature surprisingly good at making me feeling emerged into the gameplay and also felt even though i was getting closer wasn't bothering me at all! The display looks like is side and top lit which will create some glooming on the darker scenery but reasonable and for the upside the matt finish of it makes deliver a very bright with no glare image in any bright room situation u might encounter! I like the monitor for being an all around with some gaming capability and i think it is a great value being the fact that it's got speakers integrated!
