5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value and amazing monitor!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
Size: 27-InchStyle: CurvedSet: DP/HDMIVerified Purchase
If you're a gamer this set has some surprises! It has gaming mode! It works with AMD Freesync! It has onboard frame rate speedup. Lots of choices with a super easy menu and a super easy wiggle stick on the back.

You wouldn't think the curve screen does much, but it does! It gives an amazing depth immersion that I really wasn't expecting. Color is crisp and black is true black. You can even tweak the black for a real picture of amazing. Curve also makes this set seem way bigger than it is!

Gaming is amazing and even though it's not 4k you won't care because it's seriously amazing! Build quality is really nice and solid. It's 100% a Samsung and not some cheap junk with a big name badge.

Some comments say it doesn't have speakers?!? Try turning the sound up by using the back controls! Seriously?!? It's got great sound!

Doesn't have a remote and you cannot control the brightness from Windows. Doesn't have sneaky cameras or microphones, perfect. If you need them just buy a webcam, they are almost free nowadays.

This is an incredible deal for such a good price! Gamer or not you will love this thing. It's got the style of an Apple product at 100th of the price. So many gamer cool options I don't understand why they don't sell it harder?

Does it look cheap, no it's a real looker. Is it just okay? No it's brilliant! Can I play at 132434×4357544 and 6000 fps, no. Does 1920 x 1080 at 60 look amazing? YES! You can essentially overclock it using the menu!

Buy one, I love mine! It's a solid workhorse for anything you want or need. Security minded people, it's a dumb set! Completely!

Buy one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best monitor I have ever owned!

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.

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 Amazing Picture very reasonable price!
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018
Size: 27-InchStyle: CurvedSet: DP/HDMIVerified Purchase
After finally purchasing a couple MiniPC's for both business and personal use, and using an old LCD 21" Wide Screen Monitor I had, I was finding that I must be spoiled by my 4K TV because the picture on that monitor which I thought was wonderful, just seemed so dull and it did not support 4K which I have come to love to watch 4K videos etc.

I wasn't really sure what monitor to get, but I wanted something much larger, supported 4K, and that was at a very reasonable price. I did a lot of searching Amazon's product lists for monitors, and I came across this monitor, and I noticed that it was a curved screen. While I have never owned a curved screen anything, I had seen them at the local electronics store and was darn impressed. So I was very curious about this monitor because it had all the specs I was looking for, at least 27", Wide Screen, Support for 4K, Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080, LED, and had a curved screen. When I also noticed that it was a Samsung, I was pretty excited to learn more because I have always had very good luck with Samsung products and in fact, I have only had one Samsung product ever fail, and that was a mobile phone that should have stopped working years ago with what It went through.

Not knowing much about monitors these days, I started reading the reviews that were written on this monitor and I asked the community a couple questions. The answers I got back to my questions sealed the deal for me. Everyone who responded had nothing but great things to say about this monitor and provided me in info I needed. So I decided to go for it.

When it got here, unfortunately the first one had a broken screen. It appeared that it was packaged that way since the packaging was factory sealed but the packing was broken on the inside. Needless to say I returned it but Amazon really stepped up to the plate and sent me a replacement next day, so I was only delayed by 1 day getting to use it. Because the first monitor came with a broken screen, I am going to assume that the screen may be a bit on the frgile side as my old monitor has been dropped, and the LCD screen never had any issues, I don't know jf the screens on LED monitors are more easily broken, or If this was something that someone really dropped hard before packaging, for this reason I gave the durability 4 stars)

Setup was a breeze! Just had to put 1 screw to put the base stand together, and that was it. The stand is about the only thing I really don't like because the base that sits on the desk is an upside down chevron shape, which sticks out in front of the monitor a few inches. This makes putting it on a small desk where your keyboard would be in front of it a bit of a pain because the keyboard has to be pulled closer to me and just gets in the way to me. I managed to get around that by putting the monitor up on a little shelf I made out of a box and an old Laptop lap desk that I had. It perfectly raises the monitor by about 4-5 inches, and let's me push the keyboard further back to where I now have more room on my desk. (Images added to show the base and how I worked around the chevron styled base to give me more room).

The monitor has one HDMI port and one Display Port. Now I am not familiar with the Display Port, but all my devices are HDMI, so plugging in a PC is simple. In fact, I have 3 MiniPC's that I need to connect to this monitor so I bought a 5 port HDMI switch. This allows me to easily switch between each MiniPC with just a click of a button.

The picture on this monitor is absolutely phenomenal! Once I plugged in the HDMI plug, turned on the monitor, it automatically scanned for the signal which it found right away and WOW! What a gorgeous picture. The colors are very bright and vibrant. The dynamics between the Black and White colors are stunning and the color definition is very vivid. For never using a curved screen before on a computer monitor, I am very impressed. It almost immerses you in to the picture and almost gives it a extra dimensional view, almost 3D in nature... The thing I worried most about with a curved screen was is there going to be any distortion with a curved screen and I am happy to say. "Absolutely Not!". The images looks perfectly flat, but because of the curve, it pulls the outer edges our of your peripheral vision and closer to your focused view when looking straight forward.

Learning how to use the toggle button on the back for adjusting the settings van take a bit of getting used to, however, at this point, I haven't really needed to use any of the options other then Sleep and Shut Down as the defaults seem to be perfect for my setup.

Unfortunately this monitor does not have built in speakers however, if you have speakers connected to you computer or use a set of Bluetooth Speakers you will be just fine.

Overall my impression of this monitor is fantastic! The picture quality is stunning, and the size with the curves screen is awesome. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who wants an excellent monitor for home or office at a more then reasonable price. While I have not used the monitor for gaming, I have used a monitor that has the same 4ms refresh rate and that has the same native resolution of1920 x 1080 and that monitor is over 10 years old and still holds up today, so I can only imagine that this monitor would be perfectly fine for today's games. I am definitely glad that I went ahead and purchased this monitor, and should I need to replace the monitor that I amusing as a secondary monitor, I will likely purchase another one of this model! Again, Highly recommended and over all this monitor gets a full 5 Stars from me! ~

Wanted to upgrade my monitor from my really old one and wanted something that was bigger, had nice graphics, and could be mounted on an arm when I upgrade my desk to a standing one. Overall I think this hits all of my boxes but one. It would be really nice if it had speakers built into it since my tower doesn’t have that either but a set of nice speakers costs $20 at Walmart so not a big deal. I’m happy about the big screen so I can have more than one tab open at a time and it’s great for gaming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
Size: 24-InchStyle: CurvedSet: DP/HDMIVerified Purchase
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.

The monitor is everything I expected. Well package to endure shipment, arrive in outstanding condition thanks to FedEx. The instructions were easy to follow and the set up as excellent. The description of the power/feature access button was not as clear. When I contacted Samsung Customer Service, that was terrible. I ended up answering my own question after several trial and attempts to figure things out.

I only wish I found this sooner!
It came well packaged and as described. I have it set up on a flat glass monitor riser with adjustable feet.
Previously, I was using a smaller laptop and my phone. I needed something to make work easier and this is perfect.
For my office, I paired this curved monitor with a Mini PC Desktop Computer Stick, webcam w mic, speakers, my favorite keyboard, logi mouse, usb hub, printer/scanner, gamer chair, and 60 min Time Timer.

I had previously ordered this monitor to pair with a separate monitor to make dual monitors. I liked this monitor so very much that I ordered a second to pair with my original 27” and got rid of the other monitor. Great color and I love the curved surface! I highly recommend as a primary monitor, or even better, as a dual monitor!
