Samsung Unveils CH711 Curved Quantum-dot Monitor
At CES 2017, Samsung Electronics plans to demonstrate how it has stepped up its game in the entertainment monitor space with the unveiling of its new CH711 Quantum Dot Curved monitor. Additionally, Samsung will also showcase its recently launched CFG70 and CF791 Quantum Dot displays at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #15006, Central Hall.
"Today's multimedia consumers have heightened expectations; they demand an immersive experience that makes them feel like they're part of the games they play and the content they view," said Andrew Sivori, Vice President, CE-IT Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "Our new Quantum Dot Curved monitors offer brilliant design, richer color, and even deeper contrast than ever before."
Entertainment at the Next Level
Samsung's new CH711 Quantum Dot Curved monitor is designed with gamers in mind. Available in 27- and 31.5-inch variations, and scheduled for an early 2017 commercial release, the CH711 leverages powerful Quantum Dot technology to deliver vivid, visually stunning picture.
The CH711 features a curvature of 1,800R, and an ultra-wide 178-degree viewing angle. The Quantum Dot display's design offers viewers richer and more vibrant color from any viewing distance with 125 percent sRGB color coverage and 2,560x1,440 WQHD resolution.
A sleek, sophisticated 360-degree design also makes Samsung's CH711 perfect for any decor. The monitor's clean, white chassis encases an aesthetically-pleasing three-sided boundless design that simultaneously keeps viewers focused on the screen. For added appeal, the CH711 houses its power and HDMI cables inside the stand's neck and out of sight.
The Quantum Dot Monitor Evolution
Released commercially in the U.S. in December 2016, Samsung's pioneering CFG70 and CF791 Quantum Dot Curved monitors also will make their CES debut.
Designed specifically for professional and hardcore gamers, the CFG70 Curved monitor (24- and 27-inch models) unites the visual refinement of Samsung's Quantum Dot picture technology with the comfort and widespread view of its Curved monitors to create the ultimate gaming experience. A host of gamer-friendly features, including the Gaming User Interface and calibration that optimizes presentation for any title in the FPS, RTS, RPG and AOS game genres, provide for a more customizable and enjoyable experience.
Featuring 1,500R curvature and an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio, the CF791 (34-inch) Quantum Dot Curved monitor showcases content within today's most prominent office programs with unparalleled clarity and detail. Leveraging Picture-by-Picture (PBP) technology, users can load content through a connected HDMI or DP input source and position it anywhere on the screen. A complementary Picture-in-Picture (PIP) functionality enables users to customize, shrink and place content in any location without losing resolution or visual quality. An integrated height-adjustable stand also delivers ergonomic efficiency and makes the CF791 ideal for any workstation.
Game On
To celebrate the launch of its newest monitors, Samsung will offer CES 2017 attendees a first-hand opportunity to engage in friendly competition at its interactive gaming zone. Samsung's booth will include interactive stations where visitors can test several of today's leading video game titles on its CFG70 Quantum Dot Curved gaming monitors, with supporting large-format SMART LED signage broadcasting the competition - and demonstrating the monitors' excellent visual presentation - to the wider CES audience.
The Displays of the Future
CES attendees will also get a first glimpse of Samsung's next wave of high-resolution monitors, scheduled for release in early 2017:

Combined with 144hz. It's a VA panel, and it still uses the low TN resposne times. quantum dot ftw.
I'm glad Samsung had the balls to take the next step in gaming monitors.
Still waiting for Ultrawide 1440p with HDR and fast refresh rate 100Hz minimum... DP 1.3 will be required to fully have everything working on such display
To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of work or "professional" task can you do, when you may get motion-sick from a static image )))
... and that's coming from me - a guy who beat HL2 on the Occulus Rift DK1.
Even at 21x9 anything smaller than 28" looks like a warped madness.
FOV is FOV, but at that size the curvature only creates distractions (unless you put your head 30cm from the screen).
Before settling on my current "normal" flat 4K screen I was considering an Ultrawide LG. It looked awesome in store, reviews were good too.
Then I happened to have a chance to try it in action, and after about 10 minutes I got a slight headache. Never got this even from my very old 19" viewsonic with shimmering CFL backlight.
Even if the display quality is the best of the best, you can't avoid the reality, that curved screens only work on very large TVs, and only for entertainment purposes.
By that logic gaming cant work at all because some people suffer motion sickness or get a seizure.
I think maybe that is the problem for you. You are sitting to close to the screen. That makes sense.
In photography or movies, field curvature is a mortal flaw. How would you go editing something shot with a flat focal plane on a curved monitor (or watch on a curved TV)?
And I have "used" curved TVs for some time (i.e. not only in a showroom). They're horrible. There's an approximately 1m (3.3') in front where you can watch a movie. Sitting anywhere else just results in a distorted image. (It's distorted anyway, but if you sit in the aforementioned area it's not that annoying.)
PS Where have you heard of "emulating your eyeball FOV"? It's the first time I've heard that bs, I'd like to read more about it.
The best example I've found after like one minute googling to prove my words with anything more solid than "some guy over the internet said" stuff is this video:
Here is another private verdict about this monitor:
www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/59i2sb/i_have_the_new_samsung_c24fg70_any_question/
"Infamous purple shift issue:
"all I wanted to say is that you should talk about some products only if you did use them personally"
So acording to you, nobody can talk about products unless they dont own them. Damn this logic......
Sure, some tools will tell you some monitors calibrate to an average delta E of 0.9 vs another's 0.7 or that it refreshes in 7.6ms vs another's 6.9, but if you can't spot that by looking at it, than it really doesn't matter. So when it comes to monitors, I tend to stand clear, because it really varies from person to person.
Oh and the same goes for audio equipment, where your ears are also more important than tools. Tat doesn't mean tools are useless, they can tell you what equipment fits into which class, so you don't go into a store, look at the first monitor the sales guy throws at you and think "that's as good as it gets".
I have one.
Nothing to do with purple overshoot - that's not really an issue on my later production date model.
1) Strobing backlight is not optional, but enforced on Faster and Fastest response time settings (which are necessary if you don't want bad responsiveness when using the monitor 100-144Hz). This causes eye strain and headaches for a lot of people.
2) The former means that brightness is not adjustable at all. Unlike most monitors with a strobe (which are optional, not forced), the brightness is locked at an eye bleeding level rather than on the dim side. I find it physically painful to look at white web pages and documents, it's so bad - sunglasses are literally necessary. The only way to reduce brightness is to massively lower contrast, but that results in a contrastless washed out image ... and then you might as well use a 4 year old 'gaming' TN panel.
3) Putting the monitor in Freesync mode and then enabling Freesync in the AMD control panel appears to disable the strobe. However you still can't adjust the brightness, which remains eye bleeding.
The responsiveness of the monitor is better than many recent 144Hz TN panels, and the picture quality is absolutely outstanding. Hardware is the best on the market, but the above decisions (baffling) make it probably the most unpleasant monitor to use that I've experienced in the last 25 years.
I dread these two new monitors coming to market, because I expect clueless managers at Samsung, with some kind of prescriptive ideology, will ruin them too.
Oh well, I guess we have to wait, maybe LG will release a flat OLED PC monitor to compete with Samsung.
