The curve champion

The leader in curved monitors. Samsung has led the curved monitor market since being the first to introduce the innovative displays to the world in 2015. With industry-leading technology in a full line-up, Samsung's curved monitors are consistently number one in market share and consumer choice.

Immersive viewing

Samsung’s 1500R screen is deeply curved to involve you more fully in the action. And with lifelike 4K UHD image resolution and the superior quality Samsung panel, you’ll enjoy a viewing experience that’s more realistic than ever.

4K display

With 4x more pixels than Full HD, UHD fits more content on the screen and resolves images in finer detail. That means you can view documents and webpages with less scrolling, work with multiple windows more comfortably and see more detail in your photos, videos and games.

A billion colours

Supporting a billion hues and a 2500:1 contrast ratio, the UR59C produces a wider range of colours and deeper, darker blacks. So whether you are gaming, watching videos or working with graphics applications, you can be sure of more accurate and truer-to-life colours.

Sleek and stylish

With curved contours and corners, a fabric-textured rear casing and a three-sided bezel-less screen, the UR59C measures just 6.9 mm at its slimmest. And supported on a slender yet sturdy V-slim metal stand that also encases cables, the monitor brings an understated style to any setting.

Curved for comfort

The UR59C’s curved display means that your eyes maintain a constant focus distance from the screen. This reduces the constant focus shifts your eyes make when viewing a flat screen, resulting in less eye fatigue and more comfortable viewing over extended periods.

Game Mode

Game Mode instantly optimises image contrast in game scenes to give you a competitive edge during gameplay. By selectively adjusting contrast in different areas of the screen, Game Mode reveals details in darker areas of scenes and lets you spot enemies faster.

UHD upscaling

Samsung’s UHD upscaling technology includes signal analysis and detail enhancement that seamlessly upconverts SD, HD and Full HD content to near UHD-level picture quality.

Picture-by-Picture

Picture-by-Picture (PBP) lets you connect two different devices to the monitor and view input from both simultaneously at their native resolution side-by-side on the screen. Along with PBP, Easy Setting Box makes it easy to display multiple windows of various sizes in different positions.
