Curved monitors may seem like a gimmick, but they actually do carry some useful advantages. We’re highlighting the Samsung 27-inch curved LED monitor today as it’s currently on offer from Amazon and Samsung.

The key benefits of a curved display are emphasizing your immersion and reducing the strain on your eyes and neck. The screen wraps around your field of view, so you’re able to see everything with less effort compared to a flat display.

Samsung’s display has always been in contention as one of the best in the industry. Its Active Crystal Color technology produces vibrant and vivid colors at a remarkable 3,000:1 contrast ratio. This means that even in the darkest or brightest scenes, you can still clearly see all the details.

Samsung’s curvature display is industry-leading for immersive viewing.

We haven’t forgotten about the gamers either. This curved monitor features AMD FreeSync technology for smooth gameplay even in the most action-packed moments. With its 4ms response time, image tearing, stutter, and input latency are dramatically curtailed.

The curved monitor also comes with two handy modes. The Eye Saver Mode optimizes your viewing comfort by minimizing the emission of blue light, and the Eco-Saving Plus mode saves you power.

The monitor has a list price of $219.99, but we’ve noticed a price drop on it recently. Buying directly from Samsung, you can save $40 and pick it up for just $179.99.

If you prefer to buy from Amazon, it’s listing the monitor for the same low price, and potentially with quicker delivery. Hit the button below to check it out there.
