This review is from: Samsung CF398 Series Curved 27-Inch FHD Monitor (C27F398) (Personal Computers)
I upgraded from an HP IPS monitor which everyone in the amazon reviews "raved" about how awesome it was for gaming. After upgrading to this, I might as well have been playing with mud smeared over my screen. The quality is night and day. The picture is truly amazing. If you’re a gamer I recommend turning on the game mode on to enhance the picture for your gaming needs. Plenty of picture altering options in case you prefer not to use game mode.

Yes, I’m aware the new trend these days is 4K but to be honest, I still firmly believe were a few years away from most content relying on it. For 0 its totally worth holding off especially for the quality of a product you’re getting here. As far as the curvature I honestly don’t notice it…HOWEVER! I purchased a monitor arm after the fact so I could lean back in my gaming chair without causing a pain in my neck and this is where you really notice the curve and its far more immersive. Maybe its just me? Anyways buy it and enjoy!

Samsung has all the right curves for video games and editors!, September 22, 2016

This review is from: Samsung CF398 Series Curved 27-Inch FHD Monitor (C27F398) (Personal Computers)
We own the 65" Samsung Curved UHD Television and it is phenomenal, so when my husband and I saw the Samsung Curved Monitor, it was almost too good to be true. We’re both hardcore video gamers and MMORPG’ers (if you aren’t into video games, you probably wouldn’t understand this). Plus I do a lot of photo and video editing, so clear, crisp, and vivid colors in a wide area are a must for us both. I ordered this for my husband’s birthday and he is an absolutely happy geek right now while I am a jealous vixen intent on logging his characters in on our video game and pushing them off a bridge just to watch their shocked faces – in total vivid colors and intense clarity mind you!! Oh, and watching Star Wars with this monitor is A+mazing!!

PROS:
– Wide screen for larger area of view when zooming out in video games
– Intense clarity, crisp images, and vivid colors for games, photos, and videos.
– User-friendly setup
– Comes with power cord and HDMI cable (so you don’t have to buy a separate cable)

CONS:
– No speakers. Though it is a "monitor" and not a tv, so be sure to hook up separate speakers.
– I have to watch my husband play on this monitor before myself!

This review is from: Samsung CF398 Series Curved 27-Inch FHD Monitor (C27F398) (Personal Computers)
The Good :
-Colors are truly amazing for a non-PLS, non-IPS panel. Not listed in the description (at the time of purchase), but this is a Samsung VA panel. Does that mean anything to me? No. This has a MUCH nicer picture than my 27" IPS LG monitor that was 0 more expensive. So yeah, I plan on selling the LG and buying a second one of these.
-The curve is subtle, yet essential (after being accustomed). I now prefer curved screens.

The Meh :
-The sharpness setting in "game mode" is much too high and not adjustable. Only reason this bugs me is that I cannot replicate the color vibrancy through the manual calibration to the same level as "game mode.". Very close, but not %100.
-Due to the design of the stand, it is excited to let you know when you bump your desk by making the monitor dance. They did include VESA mounts, so I’ll be purchasing an adjustable monitor arm mount.

The Bad :
-I’ll be sure to update this review if I find anything
