Fast, smooth gameplay
Combining Samsung’s advanced motion blur reduction technology with a VA panel, the CFG70 is the first curved gaming monitor from Samsung with a moving picture response time of 1ms. This eliminates possible visual distractions.
The CFG70 also features AMD FreeSync technology and an HDMI connector to synchronize the monitor’s refresh rate 144Hz with the AMD graphics card. This minimizes the impact of factors that interrupt gameplay and cause eye fatigue: image tearing, lag time and signal interruptions.
Streamlined Gaming
Samsung’s CFG70 has implemented a number of gaming mechanisms that provide a more comfortable and easier way to control gaming.

The monitor delivers even better image quality and emphasizes elements even in games with the most complex graphics. Perfect for genres such as First Person Shooter, Strategy, RPG and online MMO. Every CFG70 undergoes a thorough calibration process before shipment. This process optimizes various settings, including contrast ratio, gamma correction levels on blacks, and white balance to correct color temperature. As a result, gamers can enjoy crisp and vivid images regardless of the game.
Easy viewing and presence through its curved design
CFG70, dubbed as Super Arena design, has 1800 radius curve, wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, to reduce eye strain. And audio-enabled LED backlighting helps users focus on the most important parts of the game.
