Samsung has added five new models to its curved monitor family, ranging from 23.5 inches to 29 inches. These include the SE790C Series, the SE590C series and the SE591C Series.
Samsung indicated in its Samsung Tomorrow blog that the monitors have a curve that complements the human eye, meaning users may have a more comfortable experience when viewing the contents on the screen, even in the dark. In essence, the displays are designed to provide less eye strain and a reduced amount of reflections.
For instance, the eye-saver mode lowers eye strain by reducing the amount of blue light emitting from the screen. The panels also use Samsung’s flicker-free technology, which reduces the amount of flickering that’s associated with your typical monitor. Add these two technologies together, and users presumably can sit in front of the screen with less eye fatigue and for longer durations.
Samsung provided five monitors with two different curved form factors: the SE790C and the SE590C have a 3000R radius curvature, and the SE591C and the two SE510C panels sport a 4000R radius curvature. The SE510C panels are considered the entry level offerings of the group, while the SE790C is the flagship panel.
The SE790C is a 29-inch monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 2560 x 1080 resolution. Additional hardware specs include a 4 ms response time, a brightness of 300 cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 3000:1, support for 16.7 million colors and 178 degree viewing angles.
The SE590C is a bit larger, a 31.5-inch panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 1920 x 1080 resolution. This panel also has a 4 ms response time but a higher contrast ratio of 5000:1. This display also includes a brightness of 350 cd/m2, 178 degree viewing angles and support for 16.7 million colors. Like the SE790C, this panel comes in black and metallic silver colors.
In the 4000R group, Samsung is launching the SE591C curved monitor measuring 27 inches. This panel has a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 1920 x 1080 resolution, a response time of 4 ms and a brightness of 350 cd/m2. Rounding out this monitor is a contrast ratio of 3000:1, support for 16.7 million colors, 178 degree viewing angles and a white high glossy form factor.
Finally, we have the SE510C, which comes in 23.5-inch and 27-inch sizes. Both panels have a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a response time of 4 ms. Other features include a brightness of 250 cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 3000:1, support for 16.7 million colors and 178 degree viewing angles. Both are shipped in a black form factor.
Samsung didn’t provide actual availability and pricing on the blog.
