Samsung LC24F390FHNXZA 24-inch Curved LED Gaming Monitor (Super Slim Design), 60Hz Refresh Rate w/AMD FreeSync Game Mode

Really nice monitors, especially for the price. I am now a work from home employee and wanted to have some decent monitors to work with. I purchased two and then mounted them on an elevated stand. I really like them. As with most monitors, I had to turn the backlight down (its super bright to start), and the little shuttle based menu thing in the back takes a bit of getting used to, but outside of that, they are nice monitors. They mounted to a mounting arm without having to use any spacers, etc...the plate fit right on the back just like a non-curved monitor. One thing to note - for these monitors, they put the power suppy external to the monitor....the power supply is in the plug, so there is a sizable plug (like an oversized wall wart plug) that is used for each monitor, so take that into account when allocating power outlet space. They can eat up some outlet space on a standard type power strip (unless you get one that flips the plugs 90 degrees). However, it helps with weight and makes the monitors that much lighter because the power conversion equipment is external to the monitor. But, I believe its proprietary, so if the external power supply goes south, then finding a replacement may be a challenge. Have VGA & HDMI inputs (I am using HDMI). Havent used for gaming, but they seem fast scan rate. I cannot seem to get them to go to 75 Hertz (may be due to my Mac). They calibrated without issue with a Spyer.

Purchased this monitor to compliment a new system build. This is my first curved monitor and my first monitor ever to exceed 21." I had read various mixed opinions on curved vs flat monitors, but was too intrigued by the immersion possibilities. Given that the retail price of this monitor was equal to a flat panel version of the same size I was also looking at, I chose this one. Let me tell you, I could not be happier. Be it games, reading, or watching videos this monitor is amazing! Im sure there are many who would consider this an entry level and to some degree they may be right. However you should pick the monitor that works for you. Given the distance from where this thing sits on my desk to my face, this size was perfect and the resolution also perfect.

Nice Monitors. Took a star because documentation is not that great. There is a button hidden on the back of it you have to push if you use the HDMI port. Thought it did not work for a while until I hooked the other one I purchased up and it did the same thing. Did some experimenting and finally got them on.

Bought this for a mid-range gaming monitor and it has worked really well. Colors are vibrant and responsive. Setup was a breeze and basically everything is recognized automatically by Windows 10 (I wish the Device Manager recognized the specific monitor after installing the drivers but it doesnt affect performance in any way). Dont waste your time downloading and installing the Easy Box software that comes with, it basically allows you to setup your monitor with different zones which would only be useful for a very large monitor). The curved screen does enhance the viewing and gaming experience. Im tempted to get a second monitor to enhance the effect. The Freesync with the AMD GPUs is interesting although I havent noticed an appreciable effect from turning it on. Overall I would recommend this for someone looking for a good entry level curved screen gaming monitor.

I am have been a Samsung consumer my whole life, I own their refrigerator with monitor, TV, Washer, etc. That being said, this will be the first time I have provided a poor review and especially in a company I value and respect, reason being I am a strong believer in an honest effort to "right a wrong". In this particular case, I purchased the monitor around Feb 18th, give or take a week for delivery. It was my first Monitor I purchased New, which I know makes me sound like dork, but I was excited, especially for a curved monitor. That being said, the monitored arrived, sharp looking monitor, light, awesome, except for the fact that the stand stem cannot be removed from the back of the monitor. It is VESA compatible, but pending how the monitors back will be facing (to a wall or away from away) could deter you from this monitor. It did not bother me, as noted still believe in Samsung products, but not in this case. After connecting my monitors I was in work station heaven, when a couple months into owning it, I noticed a black spec in the middle of my monitor. I should note, I do not game, this monitor is for work, which I work on a computer for 8-12 hours 5-6 days a week, as a pharmaceutical clinical oversight manager,. If the issue was off center, I may not have noticed it, but in the middle of my monitor, where I work on excel spreadsheets all day long, mistaking a black spec as a decimal point could be a costly mistake. Escalated the issue to Samsung, who has always demonstrated superior customer service, attempted to help me the first time, only to then slam the door on my face and tell me that the monitor is covered by warranty for 3 years, however when a pixel dies , it requires 5 pixels to below before it can repair the issue and if I decided to submit the monitor it would only be returned to me as is because it does not meet the required dead pixels. Completely . useless and unacceptable, what Samsung customer service demonstrated to me that day is they do not believe nor stand behind the quality of their work, in turn, allowing one of millions of loyal consumers to live with their faulty product and begin to search elsewhere for another competing electronic company who continues to treat their customers with the respect and hospitality. All in all, I pray my situation was a fluke, but look out for burned out Pixels. Where Samsung fell short, Amazon once again demonstrated superior customer service and helped me address the issue. Thank you Amazon.

Install Flash Player PROs: Curved screen, decent quality. CONs: BSOD, flickering issue, Samsung support process, only "decent" quality. I bought two of these at the same time. One of them works as advertised, but one had a flickering issue around the edges of shapes that contrast. Very hard on the eyes. FWIW, the issue only happened when plugged into HDMI; VGA was OK but thats not a valid configuration for my setup. After a bunch of chat and phone support time wasting, they gave me a return auth and I sent the monitor back to Samsung for repair. Received it back 2 weeks later. The repair notes said they fixed the issue "NO COLOR", which wasnt an issue but OK. Samsung chat subsequently told me they "replaced the main PCB Board". Upon receiving it, I eagerly set it up to try it out. Instantly, my computer blue screens when I plug in the monitor. Well, thats one way to fix it. Happens every time. Now Samsung wants me to ship the monitor back again. Not sure if Ill bother - this thing is a big time waster. Notes: When I took the bad monitor down to send it back to Samsung, I replaced it with an older Acer flatscreen I have (similar specs). So its been a month-long literally side-by-side comparison with the "good" CF390. For the record, the Acers video quality is actually much better than the Samsungs. Color, clarity, refresh are all easier on the eyes - its a very noticeable difference. The Acer is flat and glossy (which I hate) but its actual screen quality is notably higher than the Samsung. Maybe a some quality is sacrificed with the curved screen... Bottom line: if it worked as advertised, this is a 4-star monitor. Cheap, curved, and OK screen quality. But with only a 50/50 shot at it working, plus the ridiculous Samsung warranty process: a single star is all it merits.

These monitors are probably great if you are just using them for games. I bought these hoping to have two side-by-side in the corner of my desk and use for work. I found them to be difficult to use with the curve and felt abnormal for reading text on the curved monitors. I returned and purchased regular, flat monitors

I use a laptop for all computing and only tolerate the small screen when I have to use it away from home. As soon as I am home I hook up this monitor and it is such a relief. Looks great and hooks up in a jiffy and takes up very little desk space. Very easy on my 75 year old eyes!!! I dont use it for watching movies but I think it would be very adequate for that as well as general computing needs.
