The Samsung C27JG56 is a curved QHD (2560 x 1440) monitor. It is based on the VA panel. It covers 95% of the sRGB color gamut and covers true 8-bit color depth.
The 1440p resolution will be the sweet spot for gamers in a few years like 1080p is today. It allows you to play games at a higher FPS without taxing your graphics card too much unlike the 4K resolution. You can have the best of both worlds in terms of image quality and super-fast gaming performance. Here are a few graphics cards that will help you game at 1440p 144Hz.
The image quality of the Samsung C27JG56 is decent. The 1440p resolution results in more detailed pictures. The colors are also vibrant.
The VA panels are popular for their high contrast ratios. This monitor has a contrast ratio of 3000:1 which is higher than the contrast levels of any IPS panel monitors in its price. The images will have more depth and appear true to life.
The colors stand out from each other which results in rich visual quality. Blacks appear darker and whites appear brighter. Watching movies or playing games on it will be an immersive experience. The curved screen adds to the Immersion.
The Samsung C27JG56 has a brightness level of 300-nits. It is a fairly bright monitor. It should be enough for most users unless you use it in a very bright environment.
The overall uniformity of this panel is decent. The gray uniformity is very good but the black uniformity could have been better. This is not a major issue and the colors are fairly consistent across the panel.
The combination of a 27-inch screen and the 1440p resolution results in a pixel density of 108 PPI which is a very good value. It is also easy on the eyes as the images and text appear sharp without appearing blurry or pixelated.
The viewing angles of this monitor are fair. You get 178-degree wide viewing angles. There won’t be any washed-out images due to change in colors like you see in TN panel monitors even if you view this monitor from skewed angles.
The Samsung C27JG56 has a matte anti-glare coating on it. It handles reflections very well and prevents them from forming on the screen.
The monitor we reviewed had no dead pixels on it. There was slight backlight bleeding towards its corners. It is tolerable and can be noticed only in dark areas of a game or a movie.
Overall, the image quality of the Samsung C27JG56 is more than satisfactory. You don’t get washed out images as you see in TN panel monitors. You can enjoy gaming on it without compromising too much on the image quality.
