Our take on the Samsung 27 Essential Monitor S3 S39GD FHD 27-inch

The Samsung Essential Monitor S3 S39GD is a 27-inch 1080p curved monitor built on a VA panel with a 100Hz refresh rate. The curve wraps the screen around your view for a more immersive feel at close range, and 100Hz is smoother than the 60Hz panels most budget monitors still use. It suits desk work, streaming and casual gaming on a tight budget. Against rivals, it trades the sharper 1440p resolution and faster 144–165Hz panels of pricier gaming monitors for a curved screen and a simple, low-cost design.

What reviewers say

Owner feedback on the S3 curved line is mixed. People like the smooth 100Hz refresh and the curved screen for the money, but many note that 1080p is stretched thin at 27 inches and that the VA panel smears in fast scenes.

Questions and answers

Is 1080p sharp enough on a 27-inch screen?
It is usable, but pixel density is low at this size. Text and fine detail look softer than on a 24-inch 1080p or a 27-inch 1440p monitor.
Is the 100Hz refresh rate good for gaming?
It is a clear step up from 60Hz for casual play. Competitive players will want a faster panel, since the VA response time causes smearing in fast motion.
Does the curve help?
The curve wraps the view slightly and can feel more immersive at close range. At 27 inches the effect is subtle and mostly a matter of taste.
Can I adjust the height or rotate the screen?
No. The included stand tilts only. Height, pivot and swivel need a VESA monitor arm or a different stand.
Does it have speakers or USB-C?
No built-in speakers and no USB-C. Plan on external speakers and check the HDMI and VGA inputs before buying.
Who is it for?
Buyers who want a curved 27-inch screen for office work, streaming and light gaming without paying for 1440p or high refresh.
