Samsung Electronics extends its innovation in displays with the release of its most powerful and visually compelling curved gaming monitors to date. The CFG70 (available in 24 and 27 inch) and CF791 (34-inch) monitors provide distinguished curvatures of 1800R and 1500R, respectively. Other best-in-class features include interactive LED lighting, an intuitive user dashboard, and AMD FreeSync Technology for the ultimate gaming experience.

"Incorporating the same quantum dot technology found in our incredible TV lineup, the CFG70 and CF791 monitors are poised to deliver the most realistic experience for gamers and consumers alike," said Andrew Sivori, Vice President, Consumer IT Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "In addition, we've bolstered color accuracy, refined the display curvature and significantly reduced MPRT (Moving Picture/Pattern Response Time)."



Quantum Dot Technology
The visual power of quantum dot technology found in Samsung's award-winning, industry-leading UHD televisions is now integrated into the CFG70 and CF791 monitors. By incorporating quantum dot technology, the monitors display a wide range of vivid and crisp colors, while requiring less energy to do so. Both monitors express brilliant color across a 125 percent sRGB spectrum, giving greater depth to blacks and sharpening color intricacies. These color distinctions increase the nuances of game play and far surpass display offerings available in conventional monitors. In addition, the monitors are the first quantum dot curved displays to feature a cadmium-free design, similar to all Samsung 2016 SUHD TVs.

Stunning Visual Experience
The CF791 and CFG70 leverage AMD FreeSync Technology over HDMI to synchronize screen refresh rates (ranging from 100 Hz for the CF791 to 144 Hz for the CFG70) with users' AMD graphics cards. This compatibility reduces input latency, stutter and lag to produce a uniform full-screen game display.

Each monitor features exceptional curvature (1,500R for the CF791 and 1,800R for the CFG70), which envelops users to create the feeling that they're part of the game. With a 1 m/s MPRT rate, the CFG70 display also ensures seamless transitions between frames and settings during gameplay.

In addition, both monitors are designed to reduce eye strain and empower a more comfortable long-term gameplay environment. To accomplish this, the CF791 and CFG70 include blur reduction technology that activates backlights when images appear. While this is happening, integrated line scanning technology divides the backlight into four channels and sequentially organizes its positioning to match featured on-screen content. This synchronization minimizes visible blur and maintains users' focus on a continuous, distortion-free picture.

Enhanced Features
Beyond its on-screen visual enhancements, Samsung's new CF791 monitor features a sleek composition that adds ambience and style to any environment. The display's three-sided boundless design removes visual distraction and keeps gamers focused on the screen rather than the display itself. Players may also customize the monitor's alignment to match their unique ergonomic needs through both a tilt and height adjustable stand.

To support convenient game management, the CFG70 includes Samsung's user-friendly Gaming UX OSD interface. Gamers engaged in competition can access the interface's intuitive dashboard to view all essential settings, ranging from response time to refresh rate, in a single glance. Gameplay settings can be easily adjusted through shortcut hot keys located on the front and back of the monitor. Additionally, the monitor has an innovative ball-and-joint mechanism that allows the neck to seamlessly tilt, adjust height, rotate, and pivot, all without moving the base. The CFG70 also incorporates interactive LED "Arena Lighting" to provide a richer gaming experience.

"125 percent sRGB spectrum"

A what? They show more colors than there are of them in sRGB color space?
 
:cry: The 23.5" and 27" Monitors are still only Full H.D.

It just means its exceeds sRGB but doesn't meet or fit into the others color spaces. Most monitors including gaming are 72% - 75%.

The 34' looks interesting.
 
sad to see the specs wise the 34 inch model seems to be a tad inferior, probably mostly not a biggy but odd.
 
More and more freesync choices while G-sync monitors are missing in action and makes overall experience of using nvidia gpus quite horrible and expensive.

weeeellll if it wasn't a "gaming" type ... 4k would make sense ... as even a single 1080 is too weak for 4K full blown...

ok ... ok ... they could have done them in 1440p (the sweetspot in gaming resolution )

*stare at his 27" 60hz 1ms 1080P TN 273E3LH* *sigh* 27" 1080p is not that bad ...

note to self: i need a 27" 1440p (60hz or more i don't care :laugh: ) AOC probably ...

Freesync took over the market by storm, but in this case there is an error in the specs. The 27'' CFG70 comes with GSync not FreeSync.
 
This first true 4K curved monitor 16: 9 is not the desired 21: 9 but is large enough to sufficient player :),100 Hz will be sufficient .. I think this will be my next monitor. VA will gives a 3000: 1 contrast.
a smaller model 1920x 1080 that gave 1: 3500+ on review i reed .

Sorry man, do you have the English translation of what you just said? You mean the 34" is a tad inferior?? inferior to what? to whom??

Huh?
100%-ish sRGB is pretty common.

Well, compare sRGB (triangle) to visible spectrum:

499$ for a 1080p 27" is a bit too much, considering, Philips is already there with those "quantum dots" for half the price:

no mention of gamut though.

100% Adobe RGB, I guess that's roughly the "125% sRGB".
UPDATE: oh, it's actually 143% sRGB.

AOC probably ...

Please don't, for your own sake. They're cheap, but they're also really bad. I got one of their 4K models and it kept glitching. The screen turned black or turned itself off at random and if it turned off, I had to pull out the power cable and leave it for 30 seconds to get it to turn back on again. There were also loud pops and crackles coming out of the built in speakers. Contacted AOC, support said it was a firmware issue, sent it off for "repair", got it back, same problems persisted. In the end I had to go to the consumer rights people to get a refund, as AOC refused to refund me. Have a friend that got the same screen around the same time that had the same problems as well. Wouldn't buy anything from them after that.

144Hz is the reason for the unreasonable price.

Agreed. It has similar specs to the two top ultrawide gaming monitors, is significantly cheaper, and a VA panel. If this is well executed it could help drag prices down on ultrawide gaming.
 
Nvidia needs to give up on gsync. There are more freesync monitors out there and gsync jacks the price up on monitors by $100-200.
 
24" curved?!
But why?
 
I was impressed when I saw these quantum dot screens, They look noticeably better than any IPS, VA or TN monitor. I saw one next to an OLED and it was hard to tell the difference.

The colours, and black levels are awesome, noticeably better, you dont get that washed out black and crappy dark scenes you get on IPS, TN and normal VA

These are 144Hz too, with freesync could be the perfect monitor. Only problem here is Im not a fan of curved screens. Hopefully they will make a flat version soon.
 
144Hz is the reason for the unreasonable price.
But it's VA, not IPS.

I'm pretty sure I can have 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor from Asus/Acer for that price (and with AMD FreeSync too).

You make it sound like VA was inferior to IPS ...
