An ultra wide monitor with thunderbolt ports from Samsung?? What more can you ask for! I was surprised with how huge the box was when this flagship monitor came in. I felt like I ordered a new television. The ultrawide 34″ screen makes you feel immersed as you watch movies or play games 21:9. I also love the sound quality this monitor makes. It almost felt like a surround sound system and I was amazed as how great the stock speakers were. Some specs of the CJ791 is that it has a refresh rate of 100hz, 4ms response time, 3440×1440 screen resolution, and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. Although it isn’t an IPS monitor, the QLED technology covers more than 125% of the sRGB color space making it a great monitor for video editing as well. It’s a productivity monster when I used Adobe Premeire for video editing. I could fit the whole time onscreen and then some! The CJ791 also comes with AMD free sync and a game mode optimizing responsiveness and screen lag. The thunderbolt connections take the win for this monitor giving it the crown for one of the first monitors from Samsung with this connectivity. It can transmit video and data at speeds of up to 40Gbps – 8 times faster than USB 3.0 – and simultaneously charges devices (up to 85W), all over a single cable. Thanks to the Insiders for letting me test out another great product from Samsung!

I use this as a gaming and movie screen. The definition and small details are life like and almost jump off the screen at you.

If you’re waiting on a reason to get this monitor just go ahead and do it. It’s creme de la creme as far as gaming and entertainment! The only way it could be any better is if you were to do the whole VR headset thing. However seeing as I’m a PC gamer this is as good as it’ll get for me! It’s as if you’re seeing parts of your game for the first time all over again! This monitor legit has me looking forward to my relaxation game time more than ever before! If you’re looking to treat yourself or even somebody else this holiday season…. JUST DO IT

I use my monitor for many things; homework, gaming ,and watching TV. I would say that this monitor performs all these tasks excellently. For not being a “gaming” monitor or a “super 8k” monitor. I find myself never wanting to switch back to a TV ever again.

Took me a day or two to get comfortable with size and curve, but it is wonderful for flight sim and multiple documents. Cost might up there but it is worth the money.

The only feature I like is the display. The colors are awesome and makes it as if you’re right there. Other than that, I wouldn’t recommend it. You have to be sitting directly in front of the screen to get the best view.

This monitor has been amazing for school for me. Having a big monitor makes it easier to open multiple windows at once which increases my productivity. For example if I’m writing a research paper it’s much easier for me to go have my research material open as well as my word document at the same time than having to keep flipping through them. Overall it was a great purchade for me and I recommend it to anyone

Can’t wait to try this out, the curve may be older tech now but I have been wanting something to cover a large area for multitasking

The Samsung CJ791 is a stunning display showcasing what you can still get without the need for 4K. With a resolution of 3440 x 1440 you have an ultrawide display, perfectly suited for movies and multitasking in the 21:9 aspect ratio. The curve is a nice addition even if it just brings in the edges so you feel a little more immersed in the display than a flat screen. Contrast is amazing with the blacks looking very black, black bars almost look identical to the thin black bezel edging the display, while blacks in movies or games still look crisp, clear and well defined. There are a few issues such as portions of the display at the bottom corners are darker than the rest of the display, but this only seems to be noticeable on lighter colours full screen. I’ve not really used any apps full screen, mainly half screen due to the size and multitasking. The one thing I’ve noticed is that i tend to use the left side of the monitor so always looking at the one half of the screen for the normal day to day tasks, its not a bad thing its just something you’ll need to get used to. You’ll very rarely use Full Screen or a window in the center of the screen. Connectivity wise the monitor has a good variety of ports and the Thunderbolt USB C is brilliant for one cable for the Display, Laptop Power and to use the USB Ports on the back of the monitor. Only downside here is it could of done with a few more USB Ports (4 would of been nice) and maybe another HDMI connection. Cable management is good with the side of the stand coming off to help you hide the cables (I can fit 1 HDMI, 1 USB C, 1 Power Cable and 1 USB Cable in the cable management but wouldn’t fit any more in). Also to note the stand is quite large and sticks out about 8cm’s in front of the mid part of the monitor, not a major issue but its larger than a lot of stands (But to note its a good stand for a wireless charger or a Google Home Mini/Echo Dot using the monitors USB port). The Speakers were a welcomed surprise that i wasn’t expecting, they lack any base, but are quite loud and would be fine for day to day use, even watching you tube they are fine. Louder than a lot of monitors and some TV’s of this size too at 7 watts each (14 Watts Total). So is it worth the price tag, if you watch movies in an office/study, multitask, want a clean look, don’t need 4K and if you have a thunderbolt 3 compatible Laptop/PC then almost, a little expensive but it will come down in price gradually.

After using dual monitors for the past 10+ years I made the change to the CJ791…absolutely no regrets. Running a MacBook Pro and connected via thunderbolt. Awesome resolution, definitely increases productivity, more screen space and no bezel in the middle.

brought this monitor a little over a year ago, i unboxed it and set it up in her office. she was shocked!! she was using a 21 inch monitor before so the size and curve was something she had to get used too. a year later and she still loves it, looking at getting another to put next to it.

I use my Samsung Thunderbolt for everything! From VOIP calls to gaming, it has evey feature I need. Not just for now, but enough inputs to keep me performing well into the future. It’s sustainability is the greatest benefit in my opinion.
