Samsung will be offering offer a 27 and 34-Inch model that is slightly curved, but their new S34E790C will reportedly be based on VA panel technology instead of IPS which has been used in the LG and Dell models. The curve is fairly subtle though.

The screen will offer a 3440 x 1440 resolution, 4ms G2G response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio and 178/178 viewing angles. The W-LED backlight offers an sRGB gamut and the screen coating should be the common VA semi-glossy type. PIP (Picture In Picture) ‘2.0’ and PBP (Picture By Picture) functionality are offered. There is also a JOG (joystick) at the rear of the screen, towards the right, for intuitive menu navigation. The ports include DC input (external power brick), 2 HDMI ports, DP 1.2 input, 3.5mm audio output and 4 USB ports (plus upstream). It isn’t yet clear what version of HDMI or which USB revision is used on the monitor. The stand offers only a tilt adjustment but the screen is VESA mountable. Price and release date aren't known officially yet, but it is expected in 2015.

In addition Samsung will also release their 27" curved VA monitor, the S27D590C. This is also based on a VA panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 5ms G2G response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio and 178/178 viewing angles. The ports include; DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI, 3.5mm audio input and 3.5mm headphone jack. Again the stand only offers a basic tilt adjustment. Further information on the Samsung S27D590C can be found in this German press release and on some regional Samsung websites (such as their Chinese one). The screen is currently scheduled for a late October release at an MSRP of 409 Euros (£326.59, $537.32 USD) - via tft central.
