This is the Samsung CF390 Curved Monitor, the cheapest curved monitor on Amazon (Samsung C24F390).

It has a slim profile of 11.9mm, sits on a non height adjustable circular stand and can be wall and stand mounted. 

You are able to connect to this monitor via 1x HDMI and 1x VGA. The other connection points are headphone jack and power output socket.

It is a full HD 1920x1080 resolution with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The curviness of the screen is 1800R, which creates a wider field of view, enhances depth perception and minimises peripheral distractions, immersing you deeper. This makes this screen the third most curvy screen that Samsung currently manufacture, behind the 1000R and 1500R screens. Curved screens like this allow you to be able to track smoothly across the display while maintaining a constant viewing distance, thereby reducing eye strain.

This screen features Samsung's VA panel for reducing light lost from the screen resulting in deeper blacks from edge to edge, this provides a contrast ratio of 3000:1 meaning you are going to get more vibrant colours.

With AMD FreeSync, the screen, by dynamically syncing screen refresh rate with image frame rate, is able to minimise image stutter and ensure flawlessly smooth gameplay. Set to a max refresh rate of 60Hz, with max settings on and using an M1 Mac Mini, I was able to get a max refresh rate of 72Hz. Game Mode instantly optimises screen colours and contrast for gaming to ensure you enjoy every scene at its best.

With the eye saver mode enabled, you are able to reduce eye fatigue providing you with a more comfortable viewing experience and together with Samsung's flicker free technology, you are less likely to be distracted by screen flicker while you are working meaning you can prolong you activities where that be working, productivity or gaming.

Despite having the ability to provide a good quality gaming experience, it still has energy saving credentials. With Samsung's eco-saving technology you can reduces energy consumption on demand by adjusting the display brightness based on the luminescence of screen blacks to reduce energy consumption by up to 10%.

I purchased this monitor, mainly for productivity and gaming, because ever since I had my M1 Mac Mini, I have been using a 32" TV as my computer monitor resulting in chronic eye strain and headaches. If you watch the video to the end you'll see what I thought of the Samsung curved monitor after a week of using it and whether it can be considered as budget curved gaming monitor or in my case a monitor for mac mini.
