SAMSUNG 23.5” CF396 Curved Computer Monitor, AMD FreeSync for Advanced Gaming, 4ms Response Time, Wide Viewing Angle, Ultra Slim Design, LC24F396FHNXZA, Black

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

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.

I bought this for my daughter, who uses her computer to do light gaming and watching movies and videos. This computer screen looks bright and crisp. I love the curved screen and how, even at this size, emerges you more than one with a flat screen seems to. This was very budget-friendly and we got everything we were looking for out of a screen. I definitely recommend this screen.

At first I was a little skeptical of this monitor based only on its price. Surprisingly, the quality of the image and ease of setup was phenomenal. It does have very limited settings and cannot be adjusted in terms of tilting the monitor. Overall, I’d recommend this monitor if you’re looking for something affordable and casual. If you’re a graphic designer, photographer or anything similar I recommend you look for a higher quality monitor.

I had bought an Acer KG1 Series monitor during Prime Day this year because it had a 144hz refresh rate. However, out of the box, the colors were all sorts of terrible. Despite trying over and over to get the colors right, the thing was just plain bad. So I returned it for this Samsung. Right out of the box the Samsung's colors were fantastic. It helps that it's an IPS monitor, so the color accuracy is much better - but seeing them side-by-side was striking. The Acer had a weird tint to it, either too blue, too green or too red. I couldn't find a setting to make the whites actually look white. The Samsung is super crisp, just the right level of brightness, and the whites actually look white - which is really important when creating graphics. The curve on the monitor is slight, so things don't look too weird curving around the screen. It's too bad IPS monitors get so expensive when you go to higher refresh rates. If this monitor had a 144hz refresh rate it would be perfect. But the 60hz is still smooth enough for most work applications and many games. I'm not a FPS player, so having the slower refresh rate isn't really all that noticeable.

grandson still using after 4 years. Worth every penny

This is similar to the Samsung 24" essentials curved monitor. I can't tell the difference. They are perfect!!

Bought two of these 24 inch curved samsungs and I am in LOVE. Before I say anything else if you are a SERIOUS gamer maybe get something slightly more expensive.. If you are working from home, making music, or want to have a bad ass new set up for once get these.. I know im slightly biased because I'm a galaxy nut, but they are exactly what I was looking for. They are 1080p so the picture quality is perfect and exactly as advertised as far as I'm concerned. If you're a picky gamer pay 3 times as much for slightly better resolution and a higher frame rate and stop crying. Read the description its 60 hz which is all I need. I bought a type c docking station, connected it to my samsung galaxy flex alpha, and if you have two extra monitors make sure that it supports triple display, so double check that unless you only plan on connecting one monitor. Or double check if you use Mac, I know those are weird. One hdmi cord from each monitor into the docking station and you're rolling! No speakers, but I use a jbl flip via aux cord to laptop if im not wearing headphones anyways. Was not planning on mounting them when I originally purchased, but the way the stands are, it makes the monitors look like they're slightly off center when side by side, making a seamless connection between the two nearly impossible. My desk is not able to have a C-clamp mount so I bought a free standing mount and now they line up PERFECTLY. Very happy with the picture. Settings aren't complicated, i.e. my dad could figure out how to make it look good and he can barely send a text. Game mode automatically changes the settings to a great picture but has the brightness all the way up. I love it because next time you go to use your computer it's back to normal.. unless you choose game mode always on. Good luck

For the low price this monitor fit my needs. I purchased two of these to sit on either end of my Alienware 34" OLED. Naturally they can't compete with the Alien. They're used to hold flight strips and radar screens for my Tower Simulator 3. Don't expect a gaming monitor, but if casual browsing on a tight budget is what you need then these will likely fit the bill.

Monitor de buenas características, con buena imagen, tanto brillo como nitidez El único inconveniente que le veo es que, una vez armado, es difícil remover la base para poder guardarlo nuevamente en su caja para transportarlo. No cuenta con bocinas pero tiene un jack de 3.5mm El menú es sencillo de usar, en mi caso, el cursor que tiene en la parte posterior, el cual también es el botón de encendido, está un poco rígido al moverlo hacia abajo, sin embargo funciona y ya que es un producto de importación prefiero no devolverlo, para no tener que esperar a que me manden otro El precio varía mucho, pero siendo paciente lo pude comprar en aproximadamente $3,150.00 pesos, y a 18 meses sin intereses

Es cómodo para cualquier trabajo, la calidad de imagen cumple las expectativas

My experience with the screen is not good at all

Quick deliver and nice monitor
