Samsung is unveiling a new CH711 Quantum Dot curved monitor at CES 2017. Designed with gamers in mind, the monitor is available in 27-inch and 31.5-inch variations.

Featuring 1,800R curvature and an ultrawide 178-degree viewing angle, the CH711 makes content clearly visible wherever you may be in a room. Its ergonomic design also enables viewers to adjust the monitor’s horizontal and vertical positioning for optimal comfort. When combined with nearly 125 percent sRGB color coverage and 2,560 x 1,440 WQHD resolution, the CH711 sets a new standard for detailed color appearance at any distance.

The CH711’s sleek, sophisticated 360-degree design complements any desktop or décor. Its clean, white chassis features a gorgeous three-sided Boundless design, and neatly hides its power and HDMI cables out of sight inside the stand’s neck.

“Today’s multimedia consumers, quite rightly, have high expectations and demand a truly cutting edge, totally immersive experience that realizes the full potential of whatever they are playing or watching,” said Seoggi Kim, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business. “This year’s line-up of curved Quantum Dot monitors offers brilliant design, richer color and deeper contrast than ever before. We can’t wait to share them with the world at CES 2017 in Las Vegas.”

CES attendees will also get a first glimpse of Samsung’s next wave of high-resolution monitors, scheduled for release in early 2017:

● The 28-inch UH750 monitor combines Samsung’s gamer-friendly features with an ultrafast 1 m/s response time, Quantum Dot picture display and high-quality UHD resolution, all housed within a slim, narrow-bezel design.

● The 23.8 and 27-inch SH850 models deliver WQHD resolution and DP daisy chain connectivity through a flat, three-sided, bezel-less design with a square base and stylish exterior to suit any home or office. The SH850 monitors also feature a height-adjustable stand and pivot, with tilt and swivel capabilities for optimal viewing comfort.

If you're attending CES, you can check out the CH711 at Samsung's booth (#15006) in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The monitor is scheduled for an early 2017 commercial release.

What's the point of curved screen? Marketing yes, but advantage over flat one ? I couldn't tell it's better standing side by side.

I won't be impressed until we get some transparent monitors with a corresponding OS to take advantage of it. I have a feeling that others will create the monitor but run Windows on top of it therefore making it pointless. I hate to be the fanboy but I think apple will be the first to do it correctly because they hold control of both the hardware and OS. That is unless Microsoft were to make a "transparent mode" for its OS to work with transparent monitors. Just my thoughts. I know transparency is possible because I think it was LG (maybe?) that created a transparent TV already, it's just not a finished product. Hopefully CES will give us a glimpse into the future of operating systems, it's almost 2017 I'd like to start seeing futuristic concepts come to life :D

Follow up on how it would work: the same way AMOLED displays turn off pixels to show true black colors we could use the same technology to turn off pixels making portions of the said OS "transparent"

But why would we need it to be transparent? Not sure that's a concept I'd like to see. Wouldn't it affect the picture?

Now that's an awesome idea , our eyes are not flat so it makes sense.
