Dell SE2417HG vs Samsung CF390

forchita

Hello guys, this is my first post in the forums although I am subscribed to the channel and watched 99.99% of the videos.

 

I am planning to upgrade my 9 years old (!!) Samsung Syncmaster 2033 20" 1600x900 monitor to a 1080p display.

I use my computer essentially for gaming (mainly FPS) and I have a GTX 1070.

 

The problem is where I live there is not a lot of choice so I have narrowed my choices to these 24" monitors: the Dell SE2417HG and the Samsung CF390.

The Dell monitor is around 15$ cheaper so not that much of a difference.

 

The main differences between them are:

  • CF390 has better contrast 3000:1 vs 1000:1 for the Dell

  • CF390 is curved

  • Dell is marketed as "gaming" monitor (is this even important??)

  • CF390 panel type is VA vs  Dell is TN

  • CF390 has brightness of 250cd/m2 vs 300 for the Dell

  • CF390 has 4ms response time vs 2ms

  • CF390 has FreeSync (I know I have an nvidia card but could upgrade to an amd in the future??) vs nothing for the Dell

There is also this Samsung LS24F350FHMXUE but it has the same specs as the CF390 and costs the same as the Dell (but then might as well go with the curved monitor).

So what do you think guys?

Thanks in advance!

I'd go with the Samsung:

  • VA is better than TN
  • It has a VESA mount
  • Quoted response times are irrelevant
  • You'd be hard pressed to upgrade to anything AMD :P

Did not think about the mount, that's nice!

 

What about the difference in contrast? How big of an impact does it have?
