G-SYNC Compatible Display for Immersive, Fast-action Gameplay

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced its new 27-inch
CRG5(C27RG5) gaming monitor, the latest in Samsung’s line of curved
gaming monitors. The CRG5 delivers innovative new gaming features
including a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC
compatibility — providing a powerful combination of unparalleled picture
quality and speed for intense gameplay.

“Samsung’s delivering next-level gaming experiences with innovative
curved displays using the latest graphics technology to immerse gamers
like never before,” said Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of the
Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Combining a 240Hz
refresh rate with NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility in Samsung’s new CRG5
curved gaming monitor gives gamers advanced performance for the most
graphic-intense games.”

The 27-inch CRG5 delivers a 1500R display curvature combined with a
lightning-fast refresh rate through 240Hz RapidCurve™ technology,
eliminating screen lag time while displaying ultra-smooth scenes for a
truly immersive experience. The monitor has been validated by NVIDIA to
meet the performance and image quality requirements for G-SYNC
compatibility and delivers smooth, tear-free, low-latency gameplay
during any scene, all in full HD resolution (1920×1080).

The monitor has deeper blacks and brighter whites with a 3000:1 contrast
ratio, providing superfine detail even in the brightest and darkest
parts of a game. CRG5 has a curved vertical alignment (VA) panel
display, providing an immersive gaming experience with wide viewing
angle.

CRG5’s minimal bezel design offers near edge-to-edge screen on three
sides and a sturdy, ergonomic stand to help gamers stay comfortably
immersed in gameplay. Gamers can also select pre-set display options for
any genre of game with an on-screen digital menu, and for more advanced
customization users can create up to three separate display profiles to
easily switch between.

The new curved gaming monitor joins Samsung’s full line of innovative
curved gaming displays, including the company’s new groundbreaking
49-inch, CRG9 that immerses gamers in detail and color with a
high-resolution super ultra-wide gaming monitor with a 32:9 aspect
ratio, dramatic 1800R curved screen and HDR1000. The Dual QHD display
(5120×1440) leverages Samsung’s revolutionary Quantum dot technology for
an exceptionally wide range of accurate color reproduction, so every
game feels true to life.
