Samsung has unveiled a new set of curved monitors that feature AMD's FreeSync support as opposed to the former HDMI.
Dubbed CF591 and CF390, the new Samsung monitors are touted as being equipped with the capacity to meet the various multimedia and multitasking needs of users, whether for personal or professional uses. Likewise, the new monitors are designed to create a visually comfortable environment that encourages their long-term use.
The CF591 has a 27-inch display, while the CF390 comes in 23.5 and 27-inch models. These new monitors from Samsung are equipped with the company's latest innovations. These include a sharper curve with the radius reaching up to 1,800 millimeters (70.87 inches) and enhanced picture quality that can deliver a type of presentation that has been optimized to match the shape of the viewer's eye.
"As consumers seek a more pleasurable and immersive viewing experience, whether at work or at play - curved monitors can take their experience to the next level," said Seog-gi Kim, senior vice president of Visual Display Business at Samsung.
While some users might perceive the mammoth curved monitors as promoting visual fatigue, Samsung claims otherwise and adds that the monitors actually reduce reflectance, thereby allowing users to enjoy longer viewing periods.
Perhaps, the new displays' leverage would be the flicker-free technology that promotes strain-free viewing. Furthermore, the monitors can be set to so-called Eye Saver Mode, which acts as an eye protector against the dangers brought by harmful blue light emissions.
Apart from being the safest monitors for home entertainment use, the monitors are also gamer-friendly with their embedded AMD FreeSync technology as opposed to HDMI. This technology is said to reduce stutter, input latency and lag when there is an interactive video content viewing.
All three monitors use VA LCD panels with 250 nits of brightness and 3000:1 contrast ratings.
There are certain features that set the monitors apart. The 27-inch CF591 has a coverage of 119 percent of the sRGB color space and comes equipped with a Display Port, a pair of HDMI ports and built-in 5W speakers. These are not found in the CF390 series, which offer VGA and HDMI instead.
Samsung is launching the new monitors in the United States, Asia and Europe in March, while a launch in other markets will follow a month later. The company has yet to announce other details such as pricing.
