Curved displays seem to be all the rage these days, although some of them are just outside the budgets of most buyers. Samsung unveiled a curved 105-inch 4K TV back in July for the princely sum of $129,000 – but for those whose pockets aren’t quite so deep, the company has shown off a more modest curved display that won’t require you to sell your house to pay for it. 

n fact, SammyHub reports that the new 27-inch curved monitor costs just 469,000 KRW (roughly $450 USD). 

The display includes: 

  • Full HD (1920x1080px) resolution
  • 16:9 aspect ratio
  • 4ms response time
  • Brightness of 350cd/m2
  • 3000:1 contrast ratio 
  • Twin integrated 4W speakers 
  • VESA wall mount support
  • ‘Game mode’ function
