Samsung C32R500 32" FHD Monitor (2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung C32R500 is an affordable 32-inch 1800R-curved monitor. Beyond its diagonal, the C32R500 is identical to the C27R500: from its sleek, borderless design to its curved form factor to the FHD resolution with an 8-bit VA panel, the two are twins separated at birth.
While the C32R500 appears physically attractive, it comes with some compromises. For example, as a low-cost option, it is neither particularly fast nor color-rich. At 32", the monitor could do better with a higher resolution, too. Samsung has also saved on the monitor stand, offering a simple solution as standard, though users can mount it on any VESA stand that they like.
