Samsung to unveil Thunderbolt 3 QLED curved monitor at CES

Samsung Electronics has announced it will debut its new CJ791 monitor, “the first curved monitor to feature Intel’s Thunderbolt 3 connectivity”, at CES 2018. The 34-inch CJ791 model will mainly target entertainment and business audiences.

Through a single Thunderbolt 3 cable, CJ791 users will be able to link and dock their monitor and laptop without extensive wiring. The Thunderbolt 3 connection provides processing speed of up to 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps), allowing users to enjoy connectivity across a full ecosystem of docks, displays and peripheral devices including Macs, USB type-C laptops, and other desktop accessories such as storage drives or external graphics cards. The Thunderbolt 3 interface also enables the CJ791 to provide up to 85 watts (W) of laptop charging power.

Professional users can also customize the CJ791 to their workspace. Along with the wire-reducing Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, the CJ791’s design accommodates multi-display setups. 

The device also features a Game Mode, which contains a dynamic gamma setting designed to intuitively adjust color and contrast of each individual scene to produce a true-to-life environment. According to Samsung, the CJ791’s four milliseconds (ms) response time also ensures smooth transitions between scenes, making it ideal for racing, flight simulation and first-person battle games.
