Samsung Curved Monitors

I got this on a flash sale (refurb) for about $180 versus $260? I absolutely love it. I had a 23 inch gaming monitor, that I rarely used for actual gaming. This thing is awesome. It does have some issues however, but I gave it 5 stars for the bang for the buck. Cons: The blacks are bad. In very dark video, the blacks are rendered as 4 shades of black/grey and you get that splotchy mess. Not a big issue for most normal people, but videophiles will hate this. The video is great however as most movies don't have extended 'dark' sequences. The 1080p. It's a bit lower than needed for this monitor... the size is too small and it makes it on the verge of 'wtf did you do', however, it still presents very nicely and is very readable. I spend all my time on my computer watching videos and doing light text work on documents. I find this very easy, but for heavily intensive use of text program, I'd not recommend. It is highly adequate however and I love the large size. I'd equate this to having 'large' icons for programs to having 'small' icons. People have their preference. I'm 45 years old and I really like the larger size, but might prefer a smaller icon. Pros: It's frigging curved. It's cheap. It has a very good picture. Curved is awesome. It's like I'm in a movie theater. It is so much better than my 23 inch gaming monitor. Curved makes a world of difference. I almost feel like I'm in an IMAX theater. Video is very good, except for blacks. Text is easy to read, but don't sit TOO close or you might see some pixelation. Conclusion: For the average person who watches videos and does light document work, this is perfect. The size is amazing compared to a 23 inch screen. If you are a professional, this is not for you.
