The CH711 is 2560 x 1440. The annoying thing is that its listed as 60Hz, when everyone was expecting 144Hz.

I'm looking to finally move away from 60hz 1080p up to 144hz 1080p and I'm really interested in the C27FG70, did these suffer from any of the issues posted in the last few pages? if so Someone with the "updated" version how are you liking it? and for similar price is there a 1080p 27" (if possible higher) 144hz monitor that's better than the Sammy?

Cheers.

just wondering if the C34F791 supports HDCP 2.2. I can't find any info on Samsung's website

For those who own the 24" model, does the curve add much? I'm thinking of getting one of these and I'm wondering if it's worth the premium over other 1080p/144hz screens.

The curve is a small bonus in my view. A subtle addition, but quite a nice one that just gives a slight extra feeling of depth. It certainly isn't as noticeable as it is on larger and moreover wider ('UltraWide') screens. But the curve is really only a minor feature of this monitor, it's the fact it uses a VA panel and all its direct competition uses TN panels that distinguishes it from the pack. The combination of image quality and responsiveness on this one is really quite impressive in my view. It isn't a perfect monitor, but no monitor is.

Thanks for the reply, I had a look at one in the flesh yesterday and I'm definitely leaning towards the Samsung now.

Samsung has 2 new similar monitors coming out soon.

The LC24FG73FQUXEN & LS25HG50FQUXEN.

The LC24FG73FQUXEN seems to be an update to the C24FG70, keeping with Quantum dot and a VA panel. The LS25HG50FQUXEN seems to be TN, and doesn't have quantum dot.

For anyone who has a recently manufactured C24FG70, does your monitor have any purple motion/ghosting/flicker issues that others have reported in this thread? If issues still exist with the latest versions & firmware, then perhaps the LC24FG73FQUXEN will fix these issues. I hope.

Jesus, Samsung sure can pick a catchy name eh!!

Rolls off the tongue!

I see that the C32HG70 is up for pre-order elsewhere to be released on June 10th. I wonder if the C27HG70 is on the way too then? I'd rather have the smaller monitor for higher DPI. Quantum Dot SVA panel, curved, 1440p, 144hz, free sync and possibly HDR?

I also wonder if OcUK will be stocking these?

31" 1440p seems a fine PPI size.

My 24" 1920x1200 is 94ppi, so I'd be aiming around that

24" 1080p is 91ppi
27" 1080p 81pp
27" 1440p is 108ppi
32" 1440p is 91ppi
29" 1080p ultrawide is 95ppi
34" 1080p ultrawide is 81pp
34" 1440p ultrawide is 109ppi

So for me, 24" 1080p, 32" 1440p and 29" 1080p ultrawide is similar to what I have now, with 27" 1440p and 34" 1440p ultrawide being higher, maybe too high? 27" 1080p and 34" 1080p ultrawide being a bit low.

Thing is FPS in games now is ok, going up a resolution is going to hurt framerate.

Any reviews for the
LC24FG73FQUXEN?

PCM2 · 4 Jul 2017 at 17:56

Haha. Gotta love Samsung's extended model codes. The preferred designation is simply C24FG73. It's identical to the C24FG70 aside from the stand, plus the fact you're guaranteed a relatively new revision as it hasn't existed for long.

Source for it being identical apart from the stand?

Apparently higher rgb gamut or accuracy or something . Hopefully, and this is the biggest one, all purple/orange trails are fixed.

That sounds great, I followed the huge thread on overclock.net about the older Samsung monitors. But, do you have a source for this new info?

Thanks.

hornetstinger · 4 Jul 2017 at 20:58

think one of those monitor comparison things, maybe on samsung.

not sure what to go for- 144hz va, or 75hz lg UW...UW would be nice in war thunder, WOT, WOS I think but I'm getting 100+fps so 144hz monitor would be ideal, plus far wider freesync range, and lfc support

Samsung contacts and user feedback to back it up. It amazes me that people kid themselves into thinking that this is miraculously different to the CFG70. It isn't - but set yourself up for diappointment if you like. It is certainly a significant improvement over old CFG70s, but then again so are new CFG70 revisions. The difference is that the CFG73 is guaranteed to be a 'new revision'. Nothing else has changed under the hood from what I've been told. This is a simple re-marketing exercise.

Not sure what the sarky tone is for. I was just asking for a source.
