Samsung C27F396 Review | Best Curved Budget Monitor 

11 ms and with a 4 ms response, it’s not noticeable.

Thanks for posting

Whats the hz on this monitor?

@@fredrikgulliksen953 I think 60, I have the 23.5 inch version and it is 60 but it could be 75 HZ

@@danielholley8563 tnx

Al Perez glad to help Al.

Clarity is not an issue but if you are the only user working on it then you’ll be fine but the perspective from any other angle than natural center, you’ll see odd variances in directional motion.

Hugs. Thanks for the kindness. Aside of products, I’m stuck on your approach to take time to be nice. Everyone else just wants more info, judge your approach, or argue facts but this is so refreshing. Thank you.

@@SeanHelmsMedia thank you! It's your take that's definitely refreshing, and I was so lucky to find your video exactly when I needed it. Also thank you for responding even though it's a couple years old vid :) Ps. i also adore whatever aquarium magic it is that's there at the pc box

Fynn Urech thanks friend. Trying not to get frustrated.

and I hope I didn't run you off hehe.

You’re funny.

Youssef I’m at work and will investigate tonight when I get home friend.

Meg hello and thanks for sticking with me. Ours is still going very strong and my wife uses hers almost every day. Happy for you.

I believe you would be incredibly happy with that configuration provided you have a sturdy swivel vesa mount. These monitors are quite clear from most viewing angles.

@@SeanHelmsMedia thanks!

Best I can do at the moment. Busy day. Take care.

Gareth Williams you too friend. Thanks for stopping in.

The chair is from Office Depot and it is a Serta. I love my chair.

Martin McPherson thanks for hanging out with me. She is still loving her monitors. Hope the build was success.

@@JamieR my wife still has both and loves them. They are not showing any sign of wear.

Yes it is.

Any resolution higher than expected use would be down scaled and look great.

None whatsoever

Its a QLed and when doing graphing, many have mentioned that youbhave to be sotting at the recommended distance from the viewing surface to achieve properly straight lines. I believe the distance is 22-30". Hope this helps.

@@SeanHelmsMedia thanks

Hashim Mahmood Inhave recently tweaked my MSI monitor to match the color from this monitor. I prefer it over all of my other monitors.

I’ve honestly enjoyed editing in a curved much more because it seems that my subject being edited contours easier for me to see. I hope you have the same experience. As for photo editing color accuracy, it’s good for me but of course not quite accurate enough for most very experienced editors who do it professionally.

BlueNinja 19 with HDMI anything is possible

Sean Helms Media bet thanks :) and about the second question?

BlueNinja 19 you sure can. Are you asking if the monitor has dual input?

Sean Helms Media sure if that what it means, like let’s say I’m playing on my Xbox, and once I turn it off and disconnect the hdmi cord, can I still use the monitor to google things etc

No sorry

Most standard monitors are good for anyrhing Microsoft

If you want ro use just hdmi then of course.

I found one here for fairly cheap. Hope this helps. chargerbuy.com/products/samsung-c27f396fhn-monitor-power-adapter?gclid=CjwKCAjwgr6TBhAGEiwA3aVuISjQP2RQvF1qlGqa6phkzNMvrVLK9j0S8pmU-vSEBgUMc-UY1lvjRhoCEwUQAvD_BwE

Best price is where you might want to go. This video is starting to show its age. I probably need to update the links. I’ll check tomorrow.

@@SeanHelmsMedia the 144hz one is 10 euros more

@@impurityK that’s fantastic

@@SeanHelmsMedia which one then?

@@impurityK you will eventually appreciate the 144 MHz. I would get that one for future proof purchases.

Rebekah Johansson you could get an hdmi switch from Walmart and switch back and forth between computer and Apple TV. So glad it worked well for you.

@@SeanHelmsMedia but what If I only want you use the monitor for an amazon stick?

@@youlittlerocket go for it

@@SeanHelmsMedia so its basically a plug and play?

@@SeanHelmsMedia it arrives tomorrow 👍

It has a speaker out port that delivers the signal from the hdmi signal.

Hello. Thanks for stopping in and commenting. Very kind of you. Happy Holidays.

Tweak Talker Tech thank you

I’ll do better about giving more stats in my reviews. I’m still trying to get better at this. Thanks for watching.

Tweak Talker tech i did hear you mention the resolution however I just wanted to make sure

Thank you my friend. Happy New Year.

Response time is the time it takes your monitor to shift from one color to another. ... They sound similar, but the refresh rate is the number of times a screen displays a new image every second, expressed in Hertz. Most monitors use a 60 Hertz refresh rate, though some go higher-and higher is better.

It’s in the comments many times and I say it in the video. 60 hz.

@@SeanHelmsMedia thank you incredibly much for that input and high detailed feedback. 60hz yes. But us gamers.. Are always looking at what the marketer , promotes to catch the eye attention. Hence ~ it to be 4ms ? Or 1ms ? .. So bare with me on this part please. Moving on, the Samsung C24F396 curved gaming monitor has an input lag of ~11ms, which is quick enough to eliminate any perceptible delays. Additionally, the response time of 4ms effectively removes trailing and motion blur of fast-moving objects. There is some slight smearing when dark pixels are dominant in the picture, but it’s bearable. So....... Where does 11 ms stand. From 4ms On the speed panel. Being standard fast and fastest....

...because the 3rd panel...'fastest' for me at least?.. I am able to notice some smear dark blurr motion hence the word ghosting... I leave mines on either 'faster' or 'standard' for no ghosting.... Where does that leave one for "ms" 4 ? 5 ? 8 ? 10ms ?

We are still using these and there are zero burned out pixels. They are also showing no signs of age.

@@SeanHelmsMedia Awesome to know - thanks very much!

Glad to help.

Just a quick follow-up - but I went ahead and bought one and liked it so much that I added another already. Amazing (and beautiful) work-from-home set-up - and got them both at an amazing price! Really appreciated your review and feedback!

Thanks so much for the follow up and kind comments. Glad they work great for you.

@@SeanHelmsMedia thank u

4ms 6ms ? 10ms ? With .. Having game mode NOT..enabled.. Blues are wayyy to bright at that option.

It’s a 60hz monitor so you’ll see some motion streaking because it’s not 4K or 120hz or better. You’ll get a clean image but won’t enjoy the fast frame rates provided with the PS5.

60 hz

@@SeanHelmsMedia thanks

~11 ms but with an offset of 4ms response, you really have to try hard to notice.

@@SeanHelmsMedia can?? ..you please further simplify in elaborating that part. 4ms ??

Haha. After all this time. Finally. Have a good week.

Glad to be of some help. Hope you’re doing well. Thanks for visiting me.

Via the 8mm headphone jack out which receives audio signal from the HDMI input

60 sir

I’m so sorry you weren’t as lucky. Mine is still going strong. Keep us updated on what you decide to do friend.

change the options to full HD

I still have them and still going strong. Theyre in my wife’s craft room for a smaller computer but she loves them.

@@SeanHelmsMedia Thanks! I think I've found my new monitor.

60

Oh that sux. Sorry to hear that.

Surprisingly yes. For such an affordable monitor, the streaking/banding/ghosting is quite minimal and even somewhat unnoticeable.

Sounds like you got a defective unit. That can happen with anything. Sorry, hope you get that resolved.

@@SeanHelmsMedia I took it back to replace it and the new one works perfect. Only issue is the whites aren’t quite white enough even with tweaking the built in color settings. I am a graphic designer so hopefully I can find a solution

@@bbd1254 hopefully you can friend, graphics design requires a lot of intricate detailing. I'm no designer but I've watched over many shoulders and you guys can work some magic.

No

You bet and would look great

Perdi o Controle finally. You rock! Hello

It’s the wife’s desk and she had neck surgery so looking down instead of up helps her.

@@SeanHelmsMedia geeze sorry, now I feel really bad about my comment. Was a good video, thank you

No reason to feel bad sir. You’re right. That would kill my neck.

How’s this monitor working for you a year later?

@M1XEDBAG still gojng strong. No color loss, burn-in, or pixel loss.

Thanks Ricardo. Glad to see you sir.

These monitors don't have speakers.

But you can still use a headset right to hear gaming sound?

Just 60

It performs as advertised but not revolutionary (price tag). So, it is a suitable long-lasting piece of tech that will make an excellent 2nd monitor when new tech become more affordable hehe.

I said don’t look at it haha.

Never gets old lol. HELLO!

It’s a fun side screen video to answer your question and as for the crazy?, I’m not judging. Heheh.

@@SeanHelmsMedia LOL I’m about to build a PC and fish keeping is another hobby of mine.. you just inspired me to try something absolutely nuts 😂

@@habituallinestepper6569 and with that, I would love to see your inspiration.

Hey hey Andrew!

It’s ok lol. Everyone else did too.

Sorry for your rough go at it. We didn't have the same experience. Hope something makes you happy.

Hello to you too.

I wasn't just passing by.. I really loved your content. You have a unique way of representing things! Keep up the good work!! You have a new subscriber:)
