Brightness & Contrast
« on: August 22, 2018, 08:34:25 pm »

The non-curved Samsung S32F351 is has marginally higher contrast, as well as is 40cdm/2 brighter than the curved C32F391, but only the marginally higher brightness is noticeable when the brightness is set to maximum (100), and the differences could be a result of panel lottery. The C32F351 offers average brightness, and the S32F351 is slightly brighter than the a typical budget 1080p monitor, but neither monitor is suitable for use with under direct sunlight or extremely bright room lighting, and the differences could be a result of panel lottery. Both monitors offer above average minimum brightness (average minimum is around 80cdm/2) suitable for light-less room use, especially since both have high contrast (3,500:1) and perceived black depth increasing glossy white bezels or casings.

Thanks to the high contrast, minimum glow and perceived black depth increasing white bezel or casing, both monitors are suitable for light-less use when the brightness is set to 25 or less (outputting less than 100cdm/2 brightness). This ability makes these monitors very unique and capable of competing with high end LCD panels used in TV's which usually have fake frame-less casings with perceived black depth bezels or dark black or grey bezels. Dark matte grey bezels are my favorite since they match the aesthetic of most computer and desk products while the white casings used by the Samsung's pairs well with white Apple products.
