Samsung is leveraging its curved screen technology in the SD590C monitor designed for the gaming and office markets, the company said Monday in a news release. The 27-inch 16:9 screen, with built-in speakers, provides an immersive playing experience, the company said. Because the display’s edges are physically closer to the user’s eyes and “match their natural curve, users don’t need to shift focus to see the ends of the screen,” Samsung said. The monitor is targeted at “serious gamers or office workers who spend extended hours in front of a computer,” it said. The monitor is due in stores Thursday at $429.
