Samsung C32JG50QQ 32 " (LC32JG50QQNXZA)

Viva la revolution

The Samsung C32JG50 monitor combines a 32-inch curved panel with multiple gaming features and a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. The most pleasant thing here is the price of $400. For the money, finding a combination of "32-inch curved panel + 144Hz + 2560x1440 resolution" will be as difficult as finding a person who has not heard a song about a minted coin. Not without reason in many reviews, the new brainchild of Samsung is called a revolutionary, proving that a gaming monitor should not cost exorbitant prices.

A good gaming monitor doesn't have to cost as much as a couple of graphics cards.

C32JG50 32" VA 2560x1440 pixels. The display features a modest but sufficient colour gamut for most usage scenarios, standard brightness settings (300 cd/m2) and an atypically high statistical contrast ratio (3000:1). The backlight here is the usual W-LED instead of fashionable “quantum dots”, as in previous gaming monitors from the company. By eye, the monitor shows an excellent and colorful picture at the level of good IPS panels, but for this, at first you will have to reconfigure the colour profile for yourself. Factory settings and calibration are not the best here.

AMD FreeSync not delivered

Additional trump cards in the model's sleeve are Eye Saver Mode and Flicker-Free LED flicker-free technology. But frame synchronization technologies like AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync, which give the picture additional smoothness, unfortunately were not delivered. And this is strange, because their support would not really affect the cost of the monitor. But there are thin side frames and several gaming features like Black Equalizer, which highlights the black areas of the screen to more accurately identify opponents hiding in the dark. Of the shortcomings, we note only a bulky and uncomfortable stand, which takes up all the space on the table and begins to sway at the first hint of unevenness.
