Samsung 390 Series C24F390 24" Black 2016
The VA panel delivers a 3000:1 static contrast ratio for deeper blacks than typical IPS office monitors, paired with a 24-inch 1080p curved screen. Its slim design and legacy VGA plus HDMI inputs make it a practical choice for older systems or dual-monitor setups on a budget. This monitor is best for office workers and students who prioritize text clarity and contrast over color accuracy or high refresh rates.
