For C32F391, a Samsung combined the fabrics 31,5 inches with an intuitive design. In addition, delivering a lean configuration, but not leaving aside a good experience. But is it worth investing in this machine?
Design
Unlike many models on the market, the C32F391 It is coated in white plastic. It may seem strange, as many monitors on the market are black. This combination was more than right, if you don't leave elegance aside.
A fabrics 31,5 inches has a curvature of 1800 R, and allows an immersion that impresses. Whether for movies or playing your video game, the monitor provides a depth that transports us into the scene.
On the back, a button allows accessing the settings menu, next to it are the video connections and also a headphone jack. The base was very well designed and occupies an ideal space for people who have a small table or bookcase.
Connectivity
If the Samsung took great care in the design, economized on the connections. With only one HDMI port, the owner has to choose whether to connect the PC or the video game. In addition to an entry Display port, it also has a P2 port for headphones. Both connections worked perfectly during use.
To hear the sound of what is being shown on the fabrics, you will have to resort to other audio devices. What would an extension of the monitor, a USB port for connecting or charging speakers would be nice to have. So you wouldn't have to plug your box elsewhere, as you would use it in C32F391.
The focus is not on the sound
Citing audio outputs, the monitor does not have speakers. Key point in immersion, the Samsung could have invested at this point, since the target audience for this product is not just the Gamers. but others monitors da Samsung have their own speakers, such as the CF591, so if you consider it an important factor, keep in mind that when choosing the model of this review you will have to use good audio devices.

THE fabrics LCD can reproduce images with a more static contrast. In other words, clearer and more vivid colors, this being the highlight of the machine.

A true fact, because the immersive image manages to deliver enough ambiance to hold you in the eternal “five more minutes”.
O Samsung magic bright is a feature with four factory preset brightness customizations. In “Movie” mode, colors become lighter and more perceptive, while “Stardard” mode makes dark colors stronger. There are also “Dynamic” and “Personal” settings, totally different from the others. These settings programmed by the Samsung are quite attractive, since in a few clicks the image changes completely.
O C32F391 does not support FreeSync (users with AMD video cards left out), but this is explained because it was not designed just for the Gamers. For this reason, the refresh rate is not so high (60 Hz), but we can say that combined with the VA panel, there were no blurs that compromised the good image presented.
Extra Features
If immersion is going to hold you for hours, you'll need to rest your vision so it doesn't wear out. That's why the Samsung put the machine into an “Eye Protection Mode”. In this configuration the colors are weaker, but nothing that compromises the experience.
There are also three energy saving modes, they are: Auto (which dims the brightness according to the time of use), Low and High. A nice alternative, as you will make the most of your investment and still take care of your electric bill.
