The Samsung CF791 is a quality screen, and a commendable first look at Quantum Dot technology. Picture performance is excellent without the need for adjustment. The resolution, size, aspect and curvature make for a viewing experience that is well beyond the average monitor. The focus is more on work and general entertainment, but with the 100Hz refresh and FreeSync support, plus a couple of settings available to improve response, it can put its hand to gaming very well too.
This isn't quite a perfect display, but the niggles aren't deal breakers. Although a 4ms response isn't great for gamers, there are enhancements available to mitigate that, and it's par for the course with most VA panels anyway. The menu isn't quite as well organised as we'd like, and we would have preferred four rather than two USB ports. But at least there is a hub available.
The other niggle is the price.
The £800 tag is pretty high, and should be enough for 4K, but for a 34in curved screen with 3,440 x 1,440 resolution, 100Hz refresh and this level of image quality, it's not so unreasonable. If you're looking for a top-notch screen that can handle most things with aplomb, then the Samsung CF791 has plenty to offer.
The Samsung CF791 is available on Overclockers.

quantum dots have sweet fuck all to do with the amount of colours shown as that info-graphic implies, that’s just the bit depth of the colour space the monitor supports, eizo, nec and other pro monitors have supported 10 bit colour for years.
And wtf is the point in a 125% srgb rating? if you’re in an srgb colourspace, you’re only going to see srgb, how much of argb does this cover?
Why is a monitor with all the professional/high end features being sold on a mis-advertised display technology? if they said, we’ve got a 85% ARGB, UW 1440p, 10 bit, 34″, bezel free, 100hz, g-sync, curved screen monitor I would be SOLD.
Also, why do the specs on page 1 say g-sync, but the rest of the article says freesync? does it do both? does it do neither? who knows.
I’d like to see manufacturers investing on a tad smaller 29″ ultrawide monitors with good features such as 100hz and HDR, but they only do this with the higher-end 34-35″ which are way out of my range speaking money and desk space… though that new one from AOC, 35″ for only only $800 isnt all that far away from what I’m confortable spending on a monitor, yet still too big for my desk… (Nope, I can’t buy a larger desk it wouldn’t fit my room). If AOC made a 29″ variant of the AG352UCG with flat panel 1080p while keeping 100hz or at least 90hz I imagine it would reatail for about $550 and that’s very acceptable for me.
This would not be a first look at Quantum Dot tech Sharp has had it in their TV’s for a few years now. Maybe a first for computer monitors I’m not totally sure but I am about Sharp having this for at least five years now.
Apparently, the only thing quantum-dot about it is that it has the back-light used for those displays but not the pixels.

Typo. Sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out. Now changed.
I think you are thinking about quattron TV’s. I have one and it uses 4 sub pixels. Red, blue, green and yellow. It’s not the same as Quantum Dot. But still looks amazing.
You have me scratching my head. Since when is 4ms a bad response time? 4ms is an above average near superb, yet not a 1ms. The difference between a 4 and a 1 is 3ms (yeah, I know math lol) so is wayy faster than all but the very best gamers reflexes. Yes. Its a better measurment but realistically only one percent of folks will be able to tell the difference between a 1 and a 4.
Just wondering” Why is a 4 not as good as i think it is”?
I’m a bit confused why it is advertised at a 3000:1 contrast ratio but the max during these tests was 1250:1 can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks
No, freesync test, no input lag test. With out these display tests are useless.
This monitor is much higher than 1250 contrast something is wrong with their testing method.
