Samsung Unveils First Curved Monitors With AMD's FreeSync Variable Refresh Technology Over HDMI

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.
