Samsung - 390 Series 24" LED Curved FHD FreeSync Monitor - High glossy black

So, I searched for the properly sized monitor, of an acceptable brand and specs, and headed to Best Buy. I really like Samsung quality and Best Buy happened to have a 24 inch flat screen Samsung with 4 millisecond or less response time for a little over a hundred dollars. When I got to the store I was disappointed to learn they only had one in stock. I needed two that matched for my wife's and my side by side computer. They had a pair of some off-brand 24 inch monitor for $30 more, or for $40 more I could buy a pair of this Samsung curved screen. I had been pretty skeptical about the curved screen 'fad', and had no desire to pay more to try them. Circumstances conspired to make this the only real choice to buy if I wanted monitors that day, so I took a chance on them. Wow. After using them for about a month, both my wife and I agree, they are a great choice. They make watching anything displayed, immersive. It's not 3D, but it almost feels like it. While watching a video, if something travels off the edge of the screen, I catch my self turning my head to follow it. We both sit 24-30 inches away from the screen while typing, and slightly farther away when viewing a video. I really don't have anything bad to say about our experience so far. The positives of this purchase are: 1. Samsung quality. 2. Easy, straight forward stand assembly. 3. Cords were included, power and HDMI. 4. Price was much less than an advertised 'Gaming' monitor and still had the specs we were looking for. 5. The chance we took on the curved screen has paid off. We hoped for 'tolerable', and are so impressed now that we probably won't buy another non-curved product for our home. One last note about the difference between monitors advertised as 'gaming', vs this monitor. The only difference I saw was the response time. We do a lot of things with the computers, but the most graphic intensive thing we do is play World of Warcraft. A search for information led us to the conclusion that there would be no noticeable difference between a 6ms response time and a 1ms response time. This monitor has a 4ms response time. I cannot justify spending at least one-hundred dollars more for three 1/1000 of a second response time, especially if it is completely unnoticeable. I would definitely recommend this product and I would purchase it again if I had it to do over.

I got this last week at 129.00 which made it a true steal but this price isn't bad either. Curved is the new thing but they've been too expensive to even consider for me. I have always favored samsung panels, they just look better to me and they have years of experience. This replaces a really old flat panel that I bought more than ten years ago and it's still going strong it's just older tech was time for an upgrade. Be aware there is no dvi plug on here so if your machine is old and has no dvi or vga plugs you may need to look into an adapter, of course you will not get the quality over those that comes with the hdmi. This is certainly not the fastest panel out there, it's a budget monitor but it will do fine for me, if you've never used a curved monitor you will like it and that's because your eye is not flat the lens and screeen (retina) are curved and that's why these look so much nicer to us. I have high hopes that this will serve me as well as my old samsung product that will be relegated to a backup role on a second machine. It is very light, if you want to use this on arm that should not be an issue and the adapter is external which makes it easier to arrange your cords as you want them.

I decided my laptop's screen was a bit too small for drafting or split-screening. I just needed size and affordability since I don't do anything too critical and this monitor fit better than I anticipated. The resolution is good for what I use it for and the curve really helps see the sides of the screen from the corner of your eye. The controls are a little different (typical Samsung joystick), but it's not like you adjust the settings much. The sleep/standby is very good. The screen shuts off as soon as my laptop does and wakes up almost immediately. My only negative about the monitor is the power indicator light on the front-right corner. It flashes when in standby and is VERY bright in a dark room. It took several layers of masking tape to dim it enough that it wasn't bothering me in bed. Overall, the best monitor I've ever bought and has solidified my commitment to Samsung screen products.

So this is a cool monitor. Decided to update my HP 22 inch because the contrast wasn't good, and this monitor has much nicer/deeper blacks. Now, I returned my first one due to some dead pixels and a weird colorshift where the bottom right was warmer than the rest of the screen...only to get another one that has, from what I can tell so far, 1 dead pixel and it just seems the entire bottom half of the monitor is only slightly warmer than the rest...but that's less annoying than just one color. It's not that noticeable. Either way, I bought Samsung because their AMOLED phone screens are great and their LED TV's are great, so I figured their monitors would be...and for the most part, it's great. the curve is weird to get used to, but the picture quality is great if you can get past possibly having a dead pixel or two. mine was manufactured in june of 2017, so maybe there was a bad batch, idk. either way, having a dead pixel is annoying, yes, but i'm trying not to notice it!

Was debating for a long time on a monitor and did some research and ultimately decided on this one. First off it was on sale, which is always a plus. Second the screen is just curved enough to give you that viewing room you need and not be to much. Third, the picture is great. They had it on display and running with the "4K" generic video they have playing and it looked awesome. I have also tried it on with my direct tv box and my xbox and it works wonderfully for both. Lastly, i suggest for anyone thats looking into it, to get this one for the freesync. If you've heard about the gsync/freesync just remember that g-sync is only going to work with nvida graphics cards. Freesync will work with pretty much anything else. Also the 4 ms response time is great and i love that it has its own power button and tons of user friendly options for customization.

I originally bought this monitor because I didn't think I had the room for the 27" version. Turns out I did have the room, so I exchanged it for the bigger version. With that being said, I feel I had enough time with this monitor to give my opinion. I mostly use my computer for movies, shows and chatting with friends. I also do some gaming. I recently downloaded a few games and movies and the picture was fantastic with both. The "joystick" on the back of the monitor allows you to easily navigate the menu and it has some nice pre-set picture options. Pros: Great for the price Amazing picture Cons: I honestly can't think of any I was very pleased with this monitor and I am even happier with it's big brother.

I wasn't even looking for a monitor but when, to my dismay, I learned that best buy didn't carry DDR3L RAM I realized that I needed to burn my $175 gift card on SOMETHING. When I saw a floor model of the curved Samsung monitor for $150, I knew I had a legit good deal. Samsung makes the best monitors in the world (Hyperbole yes, but almost a true statement.) The only thing I wasn't fully sold on was the curve, was it really necessary? Well, having owned it for nearly 3 weeks, I'll say this... Necessary? no, Cool? Even Awesome? yes. the monitor is crystal clear, has a beautiful range of resolutions, and a fast refresh rate.. Not to mention the design itself, from the shiny black on black on black plastic to the silver samsung to the low-0profile round base it stand upon, the monitor just oozes sleekness. Highly recommended!

Curved displays seem to be the "next big thing" when it comes to TV and monitors recently. While the picture quality and color of this monitor is top notch, I would very much be hesitant on the curved aspect of it unless you are getting a great deal. The idea behind these curved displays is to give you a more immersive feel to whatever it is you are doing. The only issue with this is when your screen is in the smaller sizes you really do lose that effect with it not covering the majority of your peripheral vision. Still, even with that the curved does the intended job of making you more concentrated on what you are viewing. This was purchased as a gift for my wife, while she does game it is by no means a gaming monitor. It does however display the games beautifully and works excellent for everything else
