Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just what I was looking for. Decent speaker sound.

Screen easy to see. Easy plug in instant connection

The monitor is ok, limited and doesn’t adjust for height. But for the price it’s a good option.

good monitor for the price display fits nicely on desk

I cannot recommend this product. Every time my computer is idle, this monitor goes dark and becomes completely unresponsive. This means that I have to bend over and unplug and replug my monitor many times a day in order for it to “wake” back up. I waited too long to return or exchange with Best Buy, but it started to get worse. When I contacted Samsung about the warranty, they informed me that Samsung monitors can only be connected directly to the computer with an HDMI cord and that no docking stations or adapters can be used. Absurd. Everyone who works at their computer and has multiple monitors uses a docking station, it is the standard. For Samsung to deny a warranty on a faulty product on the basis of use of a docking station is beyond unacceptable. My other monitor is able to sleep and wake up with my computer without the need to constantly unplug and replug. My monitors at work do not have this issue. This monitor (and Samsung, apparently) are not worth the trouble.

Looks great but only had it for a couple of weeks. Nice though!

Sound quality poor. Good size monitor. Easy set up.

Decent monitor. Got it for a good price on sale as a secondary.

Not the best, glitches in and out. Okay quality’s ,thats about it

The Samsung S39GD Curved FHD Monitor has been great for my home office setup. The curved display makes staring at this screen all day a breeze, and it fits great on my desk without taking up too much space. The 100hz refresh rate has made this monitor extremely easy on my eyes as well, scrolling through spreadsheets all day is buttery smooth. The built in speakers are not bad, and work ok in a pinch but they are definitely not the ideal situation for watching movies or listening to music. I typically use headphones so this is a non-issue for me. The picture quality is amazing when using productivity apps like Excel and Word, I also really enjoy watching YouTube videos and even movies and TV shows on this screen. The higher refresh rate definitely helps with those scenarios, but the color saturation on the screen is great as well. This monitor really checked all the boxes that I needed for my home office, and even works great for entertainment uses outside of my typical day to day work. Overall this monitor is a great value and I will definitely consider adding a second one soon.

Admittedly, my own fault, but this monitor is entirely too big for my purpose! As a matter of fact, I’m planning on returning it.

Decent monitor for a decent price. No major complaints, it's a good middle of the road product.

This Samsung curved HD monitor is a no-frills basic monitor with a couple of nice features including a 100Hz refresh rate, a game mode, and speakers. The resolution is 1920x1080, which equates to a 1080p TV. It has one HDMI port and one D-Sub port (which is just an old VGA port by a different name). An HDMI cable is included. It also has a standard 3.5mm audio jack. It comes in 3 parts, the screen, the arm, and the base. The base attaches to the arm with a single screw, and the arm attaches to the screen with two screws. Assembly was easy. I did gaming on this monitor and watched movies on it, and it excels. The curved screen gives an immersive viewing experience, and the colors and images are vivid, sharp and accurate. The game mode enhances brightness and contrast to bring out detail for gaming. In fact, when gaming I couldn't see any difference between this monitor with its 100Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time and a more expensive 180Hz 1ms response time gaming monitor that I usually use for gaming. The built-in speakers are adequate for voice but if you're watching a movie or gaming where loud immersive sound with bass notes is part of the experience, then you would want to use headphones or separate speakers. One thing to note about a curved monitor is that the best viewing angle is straight on. If you're not centered in front of the screen, then you don't get the same intended immersive experience. The monitor controls are accessed and adjusted by the typical single toggle switch. The on-screen menu made it easy to make any desired changes including speaker volume adjustments. The screen is tiltable, but the height is fixed, it's not adjustable. The build quality is average for this monitor's price range. It's mostly black plastic. Overall, this is a great curved HD monitor for the price. It's good for gaming, for movies, for streaming video content. Unless you have a specific need for something more or you just want 4K, then this monitor will do just fine, and I wouldn't spend more.

Most of the curved monitors I've seen, particularly from the larger brands like Samsung, tend to target enthusiasts or professionals. More budget minded options do exist, but they tend to be fairly obvious about what they are. Samsung's latest attempts to address that by wrapping their latest lower spec'd curved display in a sleek, stylish package that should please anyone looking for a good deal. The monitor's design goes out of its way to evoke the same design language of a lot of Samsung's last generation performance displays. The semi-rimless black and silver design is understated enough to blend in in an office setting while still boasting just enough aggressive angles to feel at home in a gaming setup. The 1800r curvature is ideal for close viewing, and while it's not quite large enough to fully immerse you in what you're doing it does significantly alleviate eye strain over long periods of use. Port selection is somewhat limited though - with just an HDMI and VGA at the back. It's a practical mix that should accommodate the vast majority of use cases, but I can't say it doesn't feel a little dated given far we are into the adoption of DisplayPort. When it comes to actual performance, there's very little to complain about. It may not be Samsung's most impressive panel but colors are good, it doesn't pick up much glare, and the 100hz refresh rate is plenty responsive for daily use and the occasional gaming. The biggest issue is a pretty common one: it's a 27" FHD display. That's definitely pushing up against the limits of how big you can make a panel like that and still have it look good, so if you're the kind of person who likes to lean in to examine fine detail you may be disappointed when you start seeing pixels. It still looks fine when you're sitting at the proper distance, though, and can provide some excellent HD gaming experiences.

The Samsung - 27" S39GD Series Curved FHD 100Hz Monitor with Built-in Speakers (HDMI, D-Sub) speakers are good. Although I decided to add additional speakers to the monitor to bring out a more powerful sound. I loved that the screen is curved. I do a lot of regular work in addition to my volunteer work and spend a lot of time on the computer. I like the curve feature angled feature because it allows me to view at an angle. Feels more relaxing to me on the eyes. In addition the display is pretty good. The quality of the images are great. In addition to work, I enjoy watching videos and playing games. The refresh rate of the monitor is pretty good. No complaints there. I like that I have two different types of ports with this monitor, the HDMI one and the D Sub VGA. As I use all kinds of different types of technology.Overall is a good product and I love Samsung. Pros: Refresh Rate Angled View Display is Clean and Clear Built In Speakers Ability to Use For Work and/or Gaming {I do both} Cons: None at This Time. Thank you for the opportunity to test the Monitor.

This is a solid general use monitor, anything productivity related or just consuming media on your laptop or desktop will perform great on this. It features a curved screen which helps with the field of view when you have it centered in front of you and reduces eye strain. Its not a extreme curve, very subtle but it is a nice feature for this type of monitor in my opinion. Refresh rate goes up to 100hz, nothing ground breaking here but it will feel smoother and more responsive than a 60hz monitor. Just make sure you configure it to run at 100hz, Windows will default to 60hz when you first plug it in which is normal and nothing to do with the monitor itself. I would recommend spending a bit more to get a higher refresh rate panel if you are looking for a gaming monitor. Brightness is pretty typical nothing that is going to feel like you got hit with a flashbang when your looking at it in a dim or dark room. This is a VA panel so color accuracy and contrast are pretty good especially at this price point. Connectivity is a bit disappointing, it offers one HDMI 1.4 port and one D-Sub(VGA) port for use with a server or older hardware. The HDMI 1.4 port isn't really a detriment to performance as it is able to push 1920x1080 at 100hz without issue, but would have been nice to have one more HDMI or Display port connection to make it easier to use with multiple devices, for example occasionally hooking your laptop up for work. The stand isnt anything to write home about only offering tilt adjustment, nothing for height and it cannot be rotated into portrait orientation, but it is compatible with 75x75 VESA mounts for those that use a monitor arm or those that want to upgrade from the included stand. Lastly, Samsung includes all the cables you would need, even a D-sub cable just incase your hooking this up to grandmas Gateway from 2000. Overall if you are looking for a monitor with a focus on productivity apps and light media consumption this is a great option.

I am writing this review for the Samsung - 27" S39GD Series Curved FHD 100Hz Monitor with Built-in Speakers. Like so many other people, I am quite the fan of Samsung. I can’t remember what my first Samsung product was, but I do remember the first phone I ever got was a Samsung flip phone, and I absolutely loved it. I even own a Samsung side-by-side refrigerator that has worked flawlessly for years. So I had some pretty high expectations for the Samsung 27” curved monitor, especially seeing that it has built-in speakers. I might add I have never owned a curved monitor before, even though I have used one a few times. So I was anxious to try this out. After unpacking the monitor from its shipping box, I found the connecting and setting up process to be absolutely painless…almost. After connecting the monitor to my computer, the display would not come on. I tried everything, but I just could not get the display to come on. Until, that is, I pushed the Power Button on the back of the monitor (which doubles as a Settings “joystick.” I just assumed it would already be in the On position. No one to blame but me on that one. So then it was time to test it out. I chose to connect to my computer using the included HDMI cable. Very easy, very simple. I might add there is a VGA port for connecting that way as well. I say “VGA port,” for some reason they refer to it as a D-Sub port. Regardless, it offers a way to connect to computers and some gaming systems. After powering on, I was immediately impressed by how crisp and clear the display is. There was no bleeding of the dark colors like you sometimes see on other monitors, and the pictures were clean and vibrant. I also noticed there is no glare with this monitor. I mean none. Even on a blank black screen, you won’t see yourself reflected like a mirror. I was using a dual-monitor setup to see how they compare side-by-side, and I was able to see myself quite clearly on the other monitor. What this means is that there is no distracting reflections to deal with if you have overhead or background lighting on, and it doesn’t interfere with the viewing experience. This might be a good time to mention the built-in speakers. I don’t know what I was really expecting, but I have to admit that Samsung went the extra mile and decided to use some really decent speakers for a monitor. I listened to a few songs and watched a few videos, and even at the highest volume I noticed zero distortion. No, I’m not saying they are audiophile-quality, but for monitor speakers, they are really good. You hear everything you’re supposed to hear. This particular monitor boasts a 100Hz refresh rate. It used to be I didn’t really pay attention to refresh rates, and all I really understood was that apparently the faster the refresh rate was, the better the monitor was supposed to be. But now, especially since gaming has become a norm, it really hits home. And seriously, the only way you can see for yourself is to test it out, like I have. For the most part, for everyday use like coding, or home office apps, emails, and so forth, lower refresh rates are more than adequate. But when you watch videos, play a game, and use apps such as video editing, you begin to notice things like blurring, lagging, etc. when using a low refresh rate monitor. The Samsung monitor does amazingly well when switching between programs, watching videos, and even gaming. Now, I will say this, the Samsung S39GD has a gaming mode which makes better use of the 100Hz refresh rate. I don’t understand all the technical aspects of this, but I do understand that it makes a very noticeable difference in game play. Visuals are smoother, with no blurring. Things are easier to see, and movement is smooth. In short, this was a great move on the part of Samsung. Generally speaking, for every day uses and for gaming, I feel like the Samsung S39GD curved monitor is a great choice. It’s hard to go wrong with a Samsung product, and that is especially true with the 100Hz Samsung monitor. I am looking forward to many hours of productivity and gaming with this bad boy.

Open box is one thing but shouldn’t be missing what’s needed to operate.

The only thing holding this monitor back from a 5-star review is the relatively skimpy selection of ports in the back. One HDMi, a headphone jack, and a PC connection. That's it. Otherwise, this is an excellent monitor. Color reproduction is great and viewing angles are perfect. The curve adds a bit of depth to the image when you're using it Colors are rich and vibrant without being oversaturated. You won't need to make too many adjustments out of the box to get an excellent image. The built-in speakers are also robust and plenty loud for most users. No, the maximum volume won't compare to a high-end speaker system, but if you just need great audio at normal room levels then you won't be disappointed. As said previously, there's only one HDMI or PC port available, so connectivity options are somewhat limited. That being said, if you can commit to be not one device being hooked up, you won't be disappointed. An excellent value from a monitor that produces a picture far better than the price tag would suggest. Get this if you on the hunt for a quality monitor.

In 2025, this is a 1920x1080 only resolution. It is a 27" curved but FHD. The refresh rate is 100Hz, better than 60Hz... Good enough for average daily usage and some modest games that are not requiring HD... I'd say home and office works are just fine to do on it. The curved shape is giving it a wider impression feel. It provides a sense of immersion and ease to navigate with your eyes. Thanks to Win11, you can use this large screen very efficiently. It looks nice on the desktop and has built-in speakers. Good option if you don't want to add some external ones on the table. Basically as Pros: - The curved display shape is a very good point. It gives the 27" a feeling of a bigger screen. It also coverup on the resolution and refresh rate lacking. It does look better in real life than on paper. - Refresh rate above 60 Hz is a good upgrade from any average boring monitor that I've been using daily. The colors look more vivid. It does make my primitive games look better a bit. - Built-in Speakers are below average. Good for some computer's notifications and some occasional audio listening. Not the high definition sound bar quality but ok. It is almost a free addition to this monitor. I found it helpful when I am plugging my streaming dongle in the monitor. - Priced well: Usually curved screens are running more expensive than this one. Samsung has it at a good deal price. As cons: - I am missing my USB ports. I've got used to them on my other screen. - Sound quality is not the best. - FHD is not 4K. Even though it is still ok... - Connecting it to Mac shows some issues with the color truthfulness. Didn't see that with PC. - Default stand is not giving a lot of options. I am getting it replaced with table mount stand. In general, this is a very affordable curved screen. It gives you more than average visual experience and a step in the curved screens realm. Very good for daily computer usages and light games. Also good for some other applications. You may skip this one to QHD or 4K if you are trying to have a gaming experience. The price would be different as well. I'd recommend it if you are looking for a complete package that includes speakers. Also a nice looking curved screen that you can show off! Very good for home screen (or office) to be used for homework, internet browsing and entertainment.
