    As a self-proclaimed pixel enthusiast, I’ve had my fair share of monitors. But the SAMSUNG CF396? Oh, it’s like stepping into an alternate reality where colors dance and pixels sing.
    Picture-Perfect Magic
    The moment I powered up this monitor, my eyeballs did a double take. The curved display wraps around my vision like a warm hug. It’s not just a screen; it’s a portal to another dimension. Whether I’m editing photos, binge-watching my favorite series, or battling virtual dragons, the visuals are nothing short of breathtaking. The colors pop like fireworks on New Year’s Eve, and the contrast ratio? Let’s just say it’s the difference between a black-and-white movie and a technicolor dream.
    Sleekness Redefined
    Slim and trim—that’s the SAMSUNG CF396 in a nutshell. It’s like the monitor went on a diet and shed all unnecessary bulk. The sleek bezels frame the display elegantly, leaving more room for what matters: the content. Whether it’s perched on my desk or mounted on the wall, it’s a minimalist masterpiece. Plus, the plug-and-play setup? A breeze. No complicated rituals or sacrifices to tech gods—just connect, power up, and voilà!
    Speed of Light (Almost)
    Gaming? Oh, this monitor scoffs at lag. With AMD FreeSync technology, it’s like my games are on a sugar rush. No tearing, no stuttering—just buttery-smooth gameplay. Whether I’m racing through neon-lit streets or exploring mystical realms, the refresh rate keeps up like an Olympic sprinter. And the response time? Blink, and you’ll miss it. It’s like having a cheat code for real life.
    Final Verdict: Love at First Pixel
    In summary, the SAMSUNG 23.5” CF396 Curved Computer Monitor is a masterpiece. It’s the kind of monitor that makes you want to compose sonnets about pixels. If you’re serious about visual bliss, consider this your golden ticket. As for me, I’m off to watch sunsets on Mars and edit cat videos in 4K. Bravo, SAMSUNG. Bravo

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Monitor
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021
    I wanted a wide monitor so I could work with two or three windows open at the same time without having to go with multiple monitors at a single workstation. I know that this is touted as a "gaming" monitor, but I am not a gamer. I am a writer, so mostly I use LibreOffice and/or FocusWriter to compose stories and set up the book's layout. I also manage my home library from this station and it is useful to be able to display information on, say, a hundred-year-old German language adventure story and the fields of Library Thing at the same time when I am entering information. It is also useful when entering data into a spreadsheet from online bank statements and/or mutual fund reports. The monitor fits into the space available on my desk and does not crowd the other items there. Assembly was simple, and though there is an owner's manual, I did not use it. The back of the monitor has standard VGA and HDMI interfaces and perhaps others. I used the VGA interface with my "antique". The Fedora Core 33 OS had no trouble adapting to the new monitor. The curvature of the screen took a few minutes to get used to, but after that initial adjustment period, I no longer really noticed it. All in all, I am glad that I bought this monitor, saving myself the difference in the cost of a television with an HDMI interface which I really did not need in the first place. I've been using Samsung devices for some years now and never had one that failed to perform well. The only one of their products that I've ever had to replace was the television that my adult severely autistic son put his fist into during a tantrum.... and even that one COULD have been repaired I suppose as only the screen was broken. I don't think you could go wrong with this one and while you can get perfectly serviceable monitors these days at second hand stores for five bucks, this one will outclass them by a wide margin.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
    Had an older LED monitor that was good but this monitor is better: clearer, better colors, details pop. The monitor is used primarily for work. The screen curve is modest and does not impact looking at spreadsheets or when multiple applications are open. There are two negatives but they are far from killers: Adjustment is limited to tilting forward and back, the stand does not permit it to be raised or lowered. I would have liked a spare USB port on the monitor, rather than reaching under the desk to access my desktop, but that seemed to be a feature of slightly more expensive monitors, and not worth the added cost. The 24 inch size is very good for my setup, as it sits next to another 24 inch monitor, and the combination is not overwhelming on my desk.
