Samsung LC27F398FWNXZA Samsung C27F398 27" Curved LED Monitor

التعليق

Upgraded from a 22" Dell flat screen and the photos do not do this piece of tech justice. It took a few hours to adjust not only to the size but the curve being it is my first curve product. Once you adjust, it is completely immersive — the wife calls it my mini home desktop theater lol. I recommend getting a DP (display port) cable as opposed to HDMI if your pc supports it as it brings much more color, detail and less screen flicker/tearing for movies and gaming. Im able to get 72Hz with my gpu. It is full 1080p with no 4k support, though until 4k becomes the absolute standard, this thing is plenty for me. Huge bang for your buck — there are always better products out there for much more $$$, but for the price, its uncanny.

I purchased two of these to use in a multi-monitor configuration. I had planned to add a third so I could use eyefinity (the bar down the bezel bar down the center makes it unusable with two monitors). I found one monitor is plenty for gaming and I use the secondary for other tasks. Together, these monitors have a width of around 48" which is exactly the width of the desk theyre mounted to. There were no dead/stuck pixels and Im happy with the image quality. Im using an r9 280x video card so I cant enable freesync but I was able to verify these monitors are freesync capable via the OSD menu. dont plan to game in anything higher than 1080p for a while so these are a nice stop gap until the price of curved 4k monitors come down.

I was under impression that I can connect either my Desktop or my Laptop using the Display Port Adapter connection. No it doesnt or maybe I am not doing it correctly. I have two other 27 inches NOC monitors and these monitors have DVI and HDMI connectors. This Samsung curve monitors only have HDMI and Display Port connectors. I purchased two of these back in July 2018 and I have been using the HDIM connector to connect both monitor to my desktop PC or Laptop. I am getting so impatient moving around the connection every time I do office work on my laptop. I ordered the Amazon Display Port to HDMI cable and as soon as I received these cables today I tried to connect my Laptop to these two monitors using my Display Link pluggable dual head multi display adapter via the Display Port adapter. That doesnt work. I tried to connect my desktop PC thru the monitors Display Port adapter with no luck either. Very disappointed. I almost forgot to mention one of my Samsung curve monitors power button sucks. It so difficult to turn it off. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesnt. It wont switch to the power button. I mean it is so difficult to toggle from Menu, Source, Eye Saver Mode, Return, and Power Off. Also one of the monitor has a dead pixels. I thought it was just a scratch. I wish I can return them but its too late.

Worked for an hour then lightning strikes horizontally across the screen. Tried to seek help but nothing. Bought two of these but think they are blowing these out as I am unable to get anyone to talk to me about it, return it or replace it. So very unlike Samsung and Amazon. Super disappointing. Put my old Samsung on the desk. At least it works.

Ok, I am a gamer and an avid movie fan so let me explain why this monitor sucks. 1. No audio (unless earphones or external speaker) 2. Only 1 HDMI cable, so if you have more than 1 use for it (like a game console or laptop connector) get an HDMI splitter or be prepared to carefully remove and plug in HDMI cables everytime you need to switch sources. 3. high price for good but not exceptional visual quality (monitor top speed about 60 fps) 4. Breaks easier than any iPhone or Apple product. If you get it, treat it as if its a thin glass panel. 5. Lack of adjustments possible. ok so if you get this you literally cannot change the way it faces up or down. If on a regular desk and at a regular chair it will feel and look like its way too low angled and you feel like youre looking down and not at it (small thing but big for gamers or people looking to immerse themselves).

Easy to set up, came in a comically large box. Took some getting used to visually, and the color isnt as nice as it would be on a more expensive monitor. It wasnt an expensive monitor though and Im very happy for the price I paid. Probably should have bought two, but then Id have to buy a display cable. The controls being on the back, a staple of Samsungs television design, is a bit annoying. The little directional control works just fine, but having to reach around the back of the monitor just to mess with the menu is somehow more cumbersome than having buttons and (God forbid) a bezel to hold them. Freesync is nice if youve got a compatible card. I dont, but the feature is there when I make the inevitable shift back to AMD GPUs. Its big, its nice. I might buy another one so I can set up my girlfriend with her own system.

After finally purchasing a couple MiniPCs 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 wasnt 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 Amazons 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 dont 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 dont 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 lets 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 MiniPCs 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 havent 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 todays 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! ~

Bought it during black friday, it worked fine though the colors and brightness are a bit.. weird. Its either too bright, or too dark, colors are either too muted or too vivid. Theres no happy medium. Today however the top half of the screen is covered in black & blue dead spots, nothing I can do fixes this. Might be just a defective monitor from get-go, but I wouldnt buy a second.

Overall Im happy with these. Im a software developer, and I use them 8 to 10 hours a day. The picture is sharp, the size is perfect, and I quickly adapted to the curve. Now that Im used to the curve, I wouldnt want to work without it. My only complaint is the enormous power brick which cover adjacent outlets on my power strip. They probably could have come up with a better design for this. I ended purchasing a second power strip just for the monitors. Otherwise theyre a great buy and I would purchase them again.

When I saw how cost effective this monitor was, I was a bit skeptical. Once it arrived, I unboxed it, everything was wrapped up really well and I could tell that there would be no room for damage in transit, this is a key detail of buying anything with a screen from online! A few of the key features that I personally love: Design: The base is minimal and matches the curve of the screen. It isnt large or clunky, and blends well with the curve. The edges and back/side of the monitor are very slim, it can blend in with most surroundings while still feeling immersive. The curvature is perfect if you have it elevated about 8inches off of your desk like I do. Quality: The pixel resolution is perfect. I sit around two feet away from the monitor and I cant see a single pixel. For the size of the display, that is very impressive. Overall: I love everything about this monitor. The only thing I would change, is that when my computer is off, the power light on the monitor flashes, which can be fairly annoying at night. Otherwise everything is perfect! If you are looking for a curved monitor and for something in this price range, I would highly recommend this display!
