Have you ever sat in front of your computer and realized that your monitor is just not quite right and that it is time for an upgrade but the last few times you spent very little and got some nice monitors but now... it's time to pamper yourself? This is what happened to me. The monitor that i was using wasn't cutting it for me anymore. I wanted to upgrade and I remember earlier this year at one of the major electronic stores, I saw for the first time a curved monitor that was huge and was approx. $800 and I was going buy that monitor when the right time to upgrade came! The other day, I did some amazon research on the monitors and it was surprising to see such a wide price variance between model to model and brand to brand. Thankfully the reviews help. I came across one review that said these monitors are not good for spreadsheets and when I read that, I then changed my mind and decided to go with purely flat and looked to see if I could find any good deals. Yet, something was telling me... I have to have the curved monitor. I do spreadsheets, yes... but I also work with photos and videos and for the price, why not? It would be worth it and if it doesn't work out, then I could easily buy a cheap flat screen just for spreadsheets and documents or send this monitor back. I ordered this very monitor, Samsung, and curved! The shipping box was very light and I loved the fact that you could tilt the box on it's short end and carry it that way. When I got the monitor home, unboxing was a breeze and assembling the stand was very simple. The screen does tilt, which is nice. This monitor does have an external power supply, but it is very small and lightweight and would rather have it external in order to keep the monitor ergonomic and light. Within 12 minutes, I had the monitor assembled, plugged in and turned on and receiving a signal. I am blown away by the sharpness, quality, and how my photos and videos look on screen, no matter what angle I am at. The curve helps me to keep focus on the center and it is a very cinematic and interesting view. I did test out a spreadsheet and actually like it curved! I am so glad I didn't abide by the other review and not get this curved monitor. This monitor hooked up nicely to my Mac Mini. The Windows 10 VM opens up nicely as well. I do love this perspective and thankful for the cost and for all the other reviewers that helped. If I ever wanted a monitor side by side, or for another pc, I would certainly get this one. I am used to buying cheap 32" tv's and using those as monitors but having a dedicated monitor at 27" offers so much more clarity in the text and photos. I feel like 27" is the perfect size.

I've had this monitor for about 3 years. I'm using it at this very moment, actually, to write this. I can't say I've used this too much for gaming, though I would if I had the PC for it. But I've done a ton of work on it (I'm a data analyst), and it's perfect for the really exciting things in life like Excel and Powerpoint. Jokes aside, it really is perfect for these. It has made working from home SO much more bearable. As for picture quality, I have no complaints. Everything seems nice and clear. It's not 4k, but I've watched movies on this plenty of times and been very happy with the image quality. Finally, brightness. It's very bright, and bright white at that. I've turned on the "eye saver" mode since I'm staring at excel all day. The eye save mode is very nice, and tones things down appropriately. That reminds me, the little know system to control menu options is actually really nice. It's a little joystick sort of thing on the back, so you've got left, right, up, and down, and you click it to select. Really simple, works perfectly. Anyway, I'm really happy with this, and I'm thinking about getting a second one, which is why I came back to this product page. OH! If you're going to use this monitor and a laptop, get a cheap laptop stand (they're like $20), otherwise your laptop screen will cover up part of the monitor. It's just a quality of life improvement, you can thank me later.

I work from my home office as a software engineer so I'm in front of my screens practically all day. I bought 3, two for me and one for my wife. I replaced two 24" HP flat screens with these bad boys. These being my first curved screens, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't like the curved effect (it seemed a bit gimmicky to me), however, I couldn't be happier. The brightness and clarity of these screens are also superior to my previous screens. I fiddled with brightness, sharpness, contrast but, in the end, I didn't have to tweak them all that much. The default settings are pretty nice. While these screens are larger, they still have a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 so don't expect a super fine HD quality image. They were a breeze to assemble. Just snap the base into the slot in the monitor. I like the stand itself. It's very low profile and leaves more space on my desk for my keyboard (wireless, illuminated, Logitech K800 - I suggest picking one up) and mouse (Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 - nothing fancy, gets the job done). When I bump my desk there is a bit of a wobble to the screens but it's not bad or very noticeable. Sometimes when I'm vigorously typing away, I will get a little wobble, but, again, I remain unperturbed. I was crossing my fingers (figuratively of course) when I pulled the screens from the box and examined them for damage. The surface of each of the three screens I purchased was in flawless shape and after getting them hooked up, I looked for any dead pixels, color lines, etc. that would be a no-go. I'm pleased to say that all three screens were in top shape. I primarily use Visual Studio and I found that I had to change the font from the default Consolas to another, finer, monotype font (I found a free one called Monofur that works perfectly at 12pt) in order to optimize font clarity and lines of code on the screen. With these screens Consolas at 12pt was way too big. And simply reducing the font made it ugly (pixelated, blocky, etc.) so I wanted something better. I'm not sure how well the screenshot will translate to your current screen but I've captured a little snippet to share how clear my screen looks to me. As for the curved effect, I was a bit concerned after reading other reviews, some of which go on about how terrible they are for spreadsheets. I'm not sure what that's all about since I find that these screens are ideal for looking at long lines of text across the screen for extended periods. When these screens are in front of you the curve itself is almost imperceptible. As I mentioned, I use two screens sitting side-by-side and I find that these perfectly wrap my work area in a more immersive way that my previous non-curved screens. My wife works on the other computer as an editor (so again lots of text and spreadsheets) and she absolutely loves it. The ONLY complaint I have at the moment is that when I sit these two screens adjacent to each other, the tops/bottoms don't line up perfectly. One edge is raised about 1/4" over the other. I haven't fiddled with the monitor positions too much to see if I can correct it since I don't really notice it while I'm working. I have a few thoughts on how to remedy it if it actually starts bothering me so I really can't complain. Overall, if you're looking for a nice upgrade to your current screen without breaking the bank, these screens will do the job nicely.

Je ne suis pas déçue de mon écran. Son prix est abordable et la qualité est au rendez-vous. L'image est très belle et le fait qu'il soit incurvé rend l'expérience de jeu plus agréable et immersive. Le pied manque de flexibilité (il en a aucune, à vrai dire), mais il s'agit pour moi d'un détail sans trop d'importance vu le prix.

Este monitor ya está probado. Es muy bueno y el tamaño el ideal. Obvio sería mejor el de 49’ jeje. Tengo dos. Y ahora que me quede sin internet pude moverlo sin problemas a otra casa. La imagen es precisa y los colores los puedes manipular a la perfección. Usuaria de home office y trabajo online. No gamer.

Me duró exactamente 2 años, un dia se puso la pantalla roja e inmediatamente negra. No volvió a funcionar Compren otra marca

I was nervous to buy a new monitor because everything monitor you see is “ the greatest monitor of all time” well I’m very happy with this. Love the curve, the picture quality is great even when seated real close. I don’t have such a strain on my eyes like I used to when using my old monitor. This is definitely worth the money.

It's actually a little less than 27" on the desk. (because of its curve) I have it as my main screen, with a flat 22" in portrait both on a dual VESA mount. So yes, this 27" can be mounted. No speakers. I went from a large TV screen down to this for gaming. Its great! Super wide means ingames, i have a massive field of view, which helped ease my eyes and was less claustrophobic ingame being able to see around me in a FPS without turning and strafing to really see my surrounding. If you play any game that you think might look gorgeous, this will be a huge influence on end result. I do think this is worth the money for its size and value. the amount of time using it just makes it a great investment. I dont think ill use anything else as a main gaming screen. The curve did help see the corners of game screens better, like your ammo count, which fire fode or position youre in, or a mini map. Being curved, these off to the side parts are now facing directly at you. so no tilted text or glare there. Anything larger than this size using a curve, kinda defeats its purpose. the screen will be larger than your eyes FOV angle.
