Samsung C32F391 32" 16:9 Curved Full HD FreeSync LCD Monitor

2020-07-08T20:00:00

i bought 3 of these to mount since it is advertised as vesa mount compatible. what they don't tell you is in order to mount them you must remove the tilt arm housing off the back of the monitor which requires the removal of the rear casing of the monitor itself, which of course will void the warranty. i can not imagine why samsung did this. i bought them on sale at sam's club and for the money, i was willing to just leave them on the stands and place on my desk eating up a ton of room. i tilted one of the monitors back, per the instructions in the manual and the screen flexed due to the force you must apply. i had my hand on the base and tilted from the top center and then the right side of the screen went out. not such a good deal anymore.

It's only 60hz, so not awesome for gaming, but it's well worth the $199. The only negative so far is that the Walmart ad says it comes with speakers. That is absolutely untrue. It comes with an aux out. You'll need separate speakers, which is inconvenient for the home office I set up.

I have two 32 inch curved monitors my husband bought for me after cracking one of my 27 inch ones. I had doubts about these, but, after almost 10 months now, I can say they are the best investment we've done. The color is great, the response time is great and they have been used daily for almost a year, with no issues. We bought them at Sam's on sale for I think $149 each. They are now $199 each. Regardless of the price, I would buy them again. I work from home on occasion and attend college online in the evenings. Just recently I upgraded my computer and with an RTX 2080 video card I am even more impressed with these monitors.

I am so unhappy with this product. Sound: requires HDMI hookup but because HDMI always sends audio through the secondary device and the monitor has no speakers, you have to either use headphones or purchase speakers separately to hear sound. Visual: I have tried multiple brightness/contrast settings but dark colors always come out looking grainy, especially black text on a white background. Adjustability: does not rotate left/right or move up/down so changing your seating position or using a different chair requires finding books or other things to stack the monitor Stand: takes up significant amount of space on the desk (which is especially a problem when you add in speakers necessary for sound) I cannot wait to return this product and find something more practical

I really like the picture quality and the large immersive screen. However I am disappointed that appears to not work well with Silicondust HDHomeRun Prime. It seems the monitor is not of high enough HDCP compliance to get all the channels provided by the Prime (1.7 HDCP) which requires 2.0 HDCP. This means I can not view any of the DRM copy protected channels from Spectrum. Disappointed.

Got this on sale to replace an older monitor. I've had nothing but problems with it since it arrived. From power issues to simply just not working with any laptop in the house at times (I even tried 5 different HDMI cables) this has been a constant headache. It also actually heats up a bit so I was hesitant to mount it or put it on my desk near the wall. Replacing right now and probably not going with a curved monitor this time. The curve takes a bit to adjust to if you never had one before, but it's not bad once you make that adjustment. That aspect is OK. Also never had any ghosting issues or anything when it was actually functioning.

It is a really good monitor, but I don't like how it doesn't have a VGA port

Great monitor, I'd love to keep it but the monitor wobbles back and forth. The base is not strong enough for the monitor.

Good picture, value but display just stops working. Sent it to get it fixed. Sent it back and then broke again. Should have sent me a whole new product instead of not actually fixing the issue. Wastes a ton of my time trying to fix it everytime so the picture appears.

I just got this for my birthday, and it is safe to say that this is my new favorite way to play on the xbox one x. With both of these elegant machines put together to produce the highest quality game play, I've had a great time playing the 4k games offered. Good response time and exquisite design. Thank you Samsung!

Other than taking three days to figure out how to mount two of these on a monitor tree stand, these monitors are flawless. Fast, great color and very flexible. I bought them from Sams Club, Black Friday week, for $169 each. Really did not need new monitors but to good a deal to pass up!.

I'm not a gamer though I bought this model for the immersive view (difference vs reg. flat screen is marginal). Was expecting higher max res for a 4k monitor, instead its max is 1920 x 1080. The base is not heavy enough to absorb vibrations from the desk and cause the display to shake.

Just bought this model at CostCo -C32F397FW. Opened the box and, unlike in the advertisements and "product FAQs," there is no mounting system built into the monitor (i.e., no holes for screws). Called customer service to inquire, and was shuttled off to parts department to discuss what additional products I needed to purchase. I hardly ever write reviews, but I get ticked when the advertising copy doesn't match the actual product. All that time wasted to find the "right" product - just careless/inconsiderate.

This monitor is an excellent option for the cost. I looked at more expensive monitors and this has the same features and exceptional quality at a great price. Very impressed as it was a massive step up from my previous LG.

I am not a crazy person when it comes to features, performance, refresh speeds and all that stuff. I like a monitor that is clear and easy on the eyes. I also like to have a ton of real estate for my applications. I purchased two of these monitors and they are great, I love them. The price was great and they are truly plug and play when hooking up to a Macbook. Plugged in the monitors and they worked, crisp, clean and big... I can't ask for much more.

I was always reluctant to get a curved monitor because I was thinking: "How good is it really?" After getting one and using it for 9 months I am in love with the intensity of the curved screen and the clear pictures. It is expensive though but worth the money. Good job Samsung!!

Samsung clearly holds the market on curved display and display manufacturing technologies; let's toss in chip manufacturing globally ;. The price was hard to swallow at first as I wanted the 34inch & options matter. At the time the only screens in completion were an ASUS and a high end Dell Professional series. This was a great choice... the right choice. The 32" curved unit is light, VESA mount compatible, easy to use and understand. For me the best features are the display options in the OSD. Versatile, adaptable, and most importantly easy on the eyes. I have no problem working for hours on end with the beautiful display & minimal frame bezel. It works great used as a multi monitor for my PC, PS3 and Docked laptops. Thanks again Sammy for following through for me.

I happen to like the white bezel and stand color; it matches my keyboard and power center rather well. The performance of the monitor is excellent, although the JOG control takes a bit of getting used to before you can use it efficiently. One caveat: If you are using an NVIDIA graphics card on a Windows platform, open the NVIDIA Control Panel, select “Change Resolution” in the “Display” menu, and scroll down to where it says “Output dynamic range.” It will probably be defaulted to “Limited,” which limits the output to 13 to 235 (corresponding to HDTV range). Change that to “Full,” and you will get the full 0 to 255 range for output colors. This will eliminate any “washed-out” effect you may have noticed with the monitor when you first fired it up. (These numbers are the bit range of the color pixels. 255 corresponds to a full 8 bits per pixel, giving the full range of sRGB colors.) I also saved 100 watts by swapping a 32-inch HDTV for this Samsung monitor. Since my system runs 24/7/365, this saves me a lot of electricity.

The monitor is perfect for documents and movies with regards to screen dimension and resolution. The surface texture looks smooth and elegant. The image quality is excellent with well-balanced colors.

I picked this up to use with my late-2011 Macbook Pro when I'm at my desk. This works great for my needs! It holds the colors nicely, does not bleed at all. I had to turn the brightness down and adjust everything to my liking, obviously. I can imagine with newer laptops it'd be nice to have a higher resolution than 1920x1080 but with mine it fits the video processors output needs well. There's no slowness/delay that I've noticed, and the curve is kind of nice since the edges would be seen at an angle otherwise. It's very light too. I'm debating getting another one of these as a second monitor and getting a dualhead2go concentrator.

Fantastic, immersive feel. Beautiful picture with my new XFX - AMD Radeon RX 480 RS 8 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card. Other similar monitors go for as much as ($). The only thing that could be better is how to turn it off. Needs 3 motions to shut off (click in, pull down, then click in again) from the multi-use power button on the back.

As I was looking at a new office monitor the sales rep showed me this one last. I guess they saved the best for last. Really like the pucture.
