CES 2018 | Samsung unveils CJ791 curved monitor with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity

Samsung has a new monitor ready to hit the market and will unveil it later this month at the CES 2018 trade show in Las Vegas. Simply known as the Samsung CJ791, this 34-inch curved QLED monitor is the first of its kind to feature Intel Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and targets both the entertainment and business sectors.

According to Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, "The CJ791 aligns Thunderbolt 3 connectivity with our best-in-class curvature and QLED picture quality to captivate and engage users, while also promoting improved organization and productivity." The specs list of this curved QLED monitor includes the following highlights:

• 3,440 × 1,440 pixels for a 21:9 aspect ratio and more than twice the pixel density of a full HD monitor
• 4 ms response time
• 125 percent sRGB gamut
• 1,500R curvature 
• 178-degree viewing angle
• Thunderbolt 3 interface able to provide up to 85 W of charging power and 40 Gbps data transfer rates

Sadly, there is no launch date or a price tag to talk about yet. Fortunately, those interested in seeing the Samsung CJ791 monitor in action can do so between January 9 and January 12 in Las Vegas. The CJ791 will be at Samsung's CES booth #15006, located on Level 1 of the Central Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
