This monitor is amazing!! I have wanted a curved monitor for so long because I heard how they provide a more immersive gaming experience. Previously I had a 27” HP monitor that was fine and served its purpose. I cannot express the night and day difference between the two. My HP only had HDMI ports, but this one has a DP and it truly makes all the difference. There are details in games I’ve been playing for months and even years that I have never noticed on my old monitor. BG3 looks absolutely incredible and as previously stated, there are details in the loading screen artwork and even the game that I honestly have never noticed before. Everything looks beautiful on this monitor and I 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking to elevate your experience.

Received the item damaged and there was no assistance from Best Buy. I will not be purchasing anything from this store anymore simply because the customer service is terrible . There was no offer to exchange or repair the item I had paid a lot of money for. The item was in its original box and still got damaged by best buy

I recently upgraded to the Samsung 32" S39C Series 1000R Curved FHD FreeSync Monitor, and it has been a fantastic addition to my workspace. The 1000R curve is incredibly immersive, creating a comfortable and natural viewing experience that's perfect for extended use, whether for work or entertainment. The FHD resolution delivers crisp and vibrant visuals, while the FreeSync technology ensures smooth gameplay with no screen tearing.
Connectivity is seamless with both DisplayPort and HDMI options, making it versatile for different setups. The sleek design and narrow bezels add a modern touch to my desk, and the monitor itself feels sturdy and well-built. I use this on my adjustable standing desk and it does not wobble. Overall, this monitor offers excellent value for its price and performs beautifully across various tasks. Highly recommended!

The stand is insufficient for the weight of the screen and the instructions for setup are quite vague. No matter what I tried, the monitor tilted forward and slumped down. Base was difficult to secure to the screen correctly and did not fix the tilting issue. The screen itself is sufficient—but one center stand is not enough to hold the weight of the screen.

I almost like this monitor . Pro's great picture & sound Con's I hate the Stand/Base it does not hold the monitor up it starts to sag forward . I go to adjust it I think its going to break its very flimsy . The second Con is the ON/OFF everything control its hard to explain but this knob does too many things , Its very frustrating.

Beautiful Monitor - But Check Your Hardware!

Once it was finally up and running, the monitor is truly great. Great product, great brand, equals a happy fella for sure! I purchased this as a birthday gift for my best friend, and he couldn't be happier.
However, the first one received I was not too pleased with. As stated, I purchased this as a gift. Wrapped it upon delivery, and presented it on the recipients birthday. He lit up, as expected. But, when the box was opened, and assembly started we discovered that the mount was not the correct mount for the screen. A call followed that disappointing moment, where I tried to explain to a person on the phone for well over 20 minutes that I wanted a replacement, because the mount in the box provided for the monitor was NOT correct, it was too small, and even the instruction booklet showed a different style. Once I finally got the person to understand what I needed, every thing went smoothly.
Now, that being said, I'm not sure if we were sent a previously owned product, or if it was mispacked before being sent to best buy. Either way, the problem was corrected, and we received a product that could be used in the end.
And it really IS a nice monitor.

The screen is great!! Has a curve that helps you focus and the size of the screen is not too large or too small. We went in store to see it first and the customer service was excellent.

I like the stand on this monitor - I think it's weighted properly for a monitor this size. I was trying to turn the base into its socket at a 45 degree angle instead of a 180 degree angle & wound up scratching the port. Not sure why the turn ratio is needed as it doesn't serve secure the base snugly anyway, without the screw. Then I noticed a lock icon next to the stand insert and I thought a screwdriver would be needed to insert into the lock port, to release the stand. Not so - I wound up scratching the metal on the interior of the lock port. I then found a video tutorial that explained the stand can be removed with a firm tug - and no release needed. Fortunately I didn't break the monitor itself while trying to figure out the stand assembly and disassembly. As it turns out the stand is very well-designed and does not require a release mechanism for release.
The monitor itself isn't quite as bright as the ViewSonic but the color spectrum is a bit more vibrant. It does throw a little more heat than the ViewSonic.
The color settings interface has been simplified to allow only two primary settings - custom and cinema. The host of others, along with SRGB, are not included on the menu. Also the dynamic contrast remains optional. I love the straightforward simplification of the color settings as those that were removed were of little benefit for general use. The dynamic contrast is a Samsung exclusive feature that automatically changes the brightness of the screen based on the color dispersion on-screen. I think that feature can be a little annoying and appreciate consistency of brightness. I did not notice a problem with the display port as with the predecessor, which buzzed slightly with varying brightness when using an HDMI adaptor on a display port.
The screen vibrancy is beautiful to behold. Form and function are outstanding - though I think the white shade could be a bit brighter, as with the ViewSonic.
All that said, the monitor stand is easy to set up once the recipient understands how it is done, and the menu navigation is quite straightforward without a lot of unnecessary color options that make it difficult to determine which works best. I think Samsung's simplifications to the settings make the monitor easier to configure.
I would like to see it throw less heat - the ViewSonic competitor stays cool to the touch. Also mimic the ViewSonic stand without the turn requirement to connect the base. Great that the stand readily disconnects, and the weighted base is a step up from the ViewSonic competitor. I recently broke a ViewSonic monitor that fell backwards when I was moving a desk around. Careless error on my part, but the weighted stand with a forward lean will likely prevent tip-overs.
A solid monitor overall, with design improvements that make sense for the end-user.

This is a good monitor. Not the best, as the highest resolution on the monitor is 1980x1040. It does not have HDR available. If I could, I would return it for a better monitor. However, I have a high end video card, so it should be running higher resolution.
