Samsung has announced two new curved gaming monitors– the CFG70 and CF791 displays. CFG70 will be available in 24-Inch and 27-inch models, and the CF791 will be available in 34-inch model.
Samsung will formally introduce the latest additions to its curved monitor portfolio at its IFA press conference, scheduled for September 1, 2016 .
As the first curved quantum dot gaming monitors, Samsung’s CFG70 and CF791 express brilliant colors across a 125-percent sRGB spectrum, while employing an environmentally-safe cadmium-free design. This luminance emphasizes a range of otherwise-hidden game details in both light and dark settings, offering unprecedented visual realism designed to capture the attention of even the most hardcore gamers.
The new CFG70 curved monitor incorporates a host of user-friendly features to create a premium multi-sensory gaming destination. The CFG70’s “Super Arena” design aligns 1800R curvature with sound interactive LED lighting that lets players fully experience the thrill of victory. This format also includes 1 m/s moving picture response time, making it the first curved gaming monitor to offer such functionality. A rapid refresh rate of up to 144 Hz further ensures a seamless and uninterrupted presentation.
For added game management convenience, the CFG70 includes Samsung’s user-friendly Gaming UX OSD interface. During competition, gamers can access the interface’s intuitive on-screen dashboard to view all essential settings, ranging from response time to refresh rate, in a single glance. They can also easily adjust gameplay settings through shortcut hot keys located on the front and back of the monitor.
With a 1500R curvature design, Samsung’s CF791 is the most curved gaming monitor currently on the market. Combined with a 100 Hz refresh rate and embedded AMD FreeSync Technology, functionality that synchronizes screen refresh rates with gamers’ AMD graphics cards, the CF791 monitor offers consistent full-screen presentation. Additionally, the CF791’s ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio further preserves content quality during multi-screen competition.
Beyond its on-screen visual enhancements, Samsung’s new CF791 monitor features a sleek composition that adds ambience and style to any environment. The display’s boundless design removes visual distraction and helps gamers stay focused on the screen, rather than the display itself.
The CFG70 and CF791 monitors will be available in the U.S. in Q4 2016 at select retailers. Pricing for the CFG70 will start at $399 (24”), and $499 (27”), while the CF791 will be $999.
