Immersive viewing experience with curved screen
The 1800R curvature of the screen provides a truly immersive viewing experience that lets you enjoy big, bold and stunning panoramic views while you work or play. With its design inspired by the curve of the human eye, the Samsung CF396 monitor delivers a comfortable and enjoyable viewing experience for your home or office use.
Brilliant picture quality
Experience vibrant, stunningly vivid colors with Samsung's Active Crystal Color technology. The excellent 3000:1 contrast ratio delivers deep blacks and bright whites so you can clearly see even in the darkest or brightest scene.
Crisp detail and stunning depth
Samsung’s advanced VA panel technology minimizes light leakage across the entire screen and corners to deliver deeper, more uniform blacks.
Advanced gaming experience with AMD FreeSync
AMD FreeSync technology allows users to enjoy smooth images, even during the fastest moving scenes. AMD FreeSync dynamically syncs the screen refresh rate with the frame rate of your content to minimize input latency and dramatically reduce image tearing and stutter during gaming. With its 4ms response time, you’ll see the fastest on-screen motion clearly and smoothly with less motion blur, judder and ghosting. The fast response time provides a steady visual, allowing players to experience their games at the highest level.
Ultra-slim design
Featuring an ultra-slim and sleek profile the Samsung CF396 monitor measures less than 0.5 inch thick. Make a stylish statement while staying productive with the 24" curved screen. The simple stand will add a modern look to your space.
Eye saver mode
Eye Saver Mode optimizes your viewing comfort by reducing blue light emissions and flickers at the touch of a button. Read documents, play games, watch movies and edit photos for long periods of time, and experience a comfortable and pleasing view, without worrying about eye strain or fatigue.
Eco-friendly monitor
The Eco-Saving Plus feature reduces screen brightness to save power, plus the screen brightness automatically transitions fluidly—reducing energy use even more. The monitor itself is also constructed without PVC.*

Pros: These monitors practically set themselves up. I purchased two to use as a desktop pair. Extending the display from one monitor to the other is a easy feat. Picture is very good and there is no flicker or distortion. Samsung has taken the time to put a monitor on the market that not only has a great picture, but are easy to use as a pair or single monitor. Once you use a monitor pair is is hard to go back to a single monitor. This monitor has a D-sub and HDMI only, there is no other connector for this monitor. I do however think that this is a very good monitor.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I would recommend this monitor to a first time buyer as well as those that are familiar with monitors. With the monitor having only the D-sub and HDMI I would also recommend that you find another Samsung monitor with a display port or DVI. I tried using a HDMI adapter on a laptop D-sub and could not get a picture. Overall this is a good monitor and should give the average user years of good display.
