The CF791 has a 34in diagonal and 21:9 aspect, so it's a pretty hefty package.
Inside that hefty box can be found a VESA mounting bracket, HDMI, DisplayPort and USB upstream cables. There's also a certificate of factory calibration.
The 1500R curvature is pretty curvy. Most curved screens use 2000R or above. It's also very elegantly styled, with a thin support arm and demure base.
The screen's height can be adjusted by 100mm, and you can tilt it up to 14 degrees forward or 34 degrees backward, depending on where it is on the height adjustment. But you can't swivel the screen and (as with most curved panels) rotating is out too, for fairly obvious reasons. With hardly any bezel, apart from along the bottom, there's little to distract you from what is onscreen.
The main video ports sit behind a plastic panel, which is fairly easy to remove and replace so doesn't hinder things too much. Samsung claims its port choice is for games console usage, but either way you get a useful set of two HDMI and a single DisplayPort. So whilst there's no legacy DVI or analog connectivity, you can at least plug in three inputs.
The USB downstream ports aren't underneath the cover, and neither is the headphone jack, although having them round the back still isn't the most convenient location. There are also only two USB 3.0 ports, which we could understand if there was a built-in webcam taking one of the downstream connections, but there isn't. So two ports is a little miserly.
The on-screen display (OSD) menu is accessed via a joystick on the back of the screen, with no extra buttons to contend with. So there's no fiddling around trying to make sure you've pressed the right button. Reaching around for the joystick isn't that hard, either, unless you have really short fingers.
