Samsung - 390C Series 24" LED Curved FHD AMD FreeSync Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Black

Easy to set up, beautiful display imaging. Curved monitor allows for better privacy. The base is stable but could have better stability. The base is my only dislike, the base does not adjust at all. This monitor has not ergonomic adjustability.

I really enjoy using the Samsung 390 Series Curved Monitors. Prior to this purchase, I've never worked on a curved display so l was a bit apprehensive. That being said, I purchased two monitors for my office and I really enjoy the experience. They look great, the image quality is excellent, and the functionality allows me to manage multiple projects at one time. Pros: *Very easy to setup *Great image resolution (FHD - 1080 image) *Cost-effective (purchased monitors for $120 each during holidays sale) *Sleek and stylish Samsung design *Curved display gives things a more intimate and immersive experience in comparison to a flat monitor Cons: *I had a challenge finding the right picture quality that didn't strain my eyes. I ultimately settled on eye saver mode, but feel there could be a happy medium offering great image quality w/o eye strain.

This is a really nice monitor for the price. I read some other reviews that suggest the curve is more a gimmick than anything else, but ... well, what else would it be? :) I mean, it's beautiful. Isn't that what matters? It's not a huge monitor, so it's not as if you would have a hard time seeing to the edge if it wasn't curved, but the curve undoubtedly adds an elegance and a smoothness to the viewing. In fact, the first thing I thought when I started using it was that I should get a couple more of them and line them up to really appreciate the curve. The color and contrast are nice. No complaints there. I am not a gamer, so I don't have an opinion about the speed--although it only refreshes at 60hz (give or take if you have an AMD chip, I'm told). Videos look great, for what that's worth. I do have one complaint though, and I'm not sure if this artifact is common or not, but I've never seen it before. When pixels are some level of gray, the LCD elements light up unevenly in a way that causes horizontal banding. This is especially distracting when I am looking at antialiased high contrast text (i.e. a pdf, which I look at a lot for school). I've mostly gotten used to it by now, but if I had seen this ahead of time I think I never would have bought this monitor.
