In short, Samsung has produced yet another great monitor here if you can afford it, don't hesitate to splash out. Its 3,440 x 1440 resolution provides ultra-crisp visuals and, coupled with great colour accuracy and a surprising lack of ghosting and motion blur, it's suitable for not just photo editing but also a host of other tasks. Its dramatically curved 21:9 ultrawide panel provides an immersive, cinematic experience whether you're working, playing or watching TV. The Samsung CF791 might be expensive, but there's a reason behind its price tag. It should also be noted that we didn't experience any problems with viewing angles either, whereas with other ultrawide panels, such as the Philips BDM3470UP where the display tails off if you view it off-axis, resulting in text and icons mysteriously disappearing.Īnd then there's the resolution, which hits the heights at a gloriously sharp 3,440 x 1,440 resolution, delivering an unquestionable advantage over cheaper 2,560 x 1,080 screens. It's barely noticeable, though, and in general the panel is impressively evenly lit. The monitor fared well in the brightness uniformity tests, too, and we found only very slight backlight bleed at the bottom-edge of the monitor. The 34in curved monitor doesn't disappoint when it comes to its brightness levels either, reaching an impressive 315cd/m2 that's fine for use indoors, even in bright, sunlit rooms. Indeed, in our testing we measured it at 2,330:1 contrast ratio, which translates to incredibly lifelike imagery.
sRGB coverage hit an impressive 99.1%, Adobe RGB coverage is 81.2% and DCI P3 gamut coverage is 87.2%, while set in sRGB mode.Īnd because the CF791 uses VA panel technology, its contrast ratio is much higher than your average IPS display. An average Delta E of 0.56 means this screen is ideal for colour critical work such as professional-level photo editing, and gamut coverage is just as good. Samsung's quantum dot technology impressed us in the Samsung C24FG70, and the CF791 is no different. There's no Nvidia G-sync variant available of the CF791.
Lastly, the monitor also supports AMD FreeSync, meaning if you own a compatible AMD GPU, you can enjoy tear-free gaming. Through the OSD you'll be able to adjust the gamma, colours, and response time of the monitor. It's also good to see Samsung avoiding the use of touch buttons, instead choosing to implement a clickable joystick, located at the back of the monitor in the bottom right-hand corner.
