Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the visual component of the monitor. Very sharp and clear. The audio/sound could be better.

We like it very much. The clarity and ease to turn on and off

good product value for money. Recommended if budget suits.

So far so good easy connection easy setup I like it.

Great buy and easy to look at over time and watching videos

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

Just what I was looking for. Decent speaker sound.

Screen easy to see. Easy plug in instant connection

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.

Monitor picture quality wasn’t good. For the work I do the pixel quality was lack luster.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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