With all these choices over $1,000, I was excited to test out Samsung’s CJ791 Thunderbolt 3 Ultra Wide 34-inch Curved Monitor that sells for $800 (MSRP $900). LG also makes a 4K 32-inch monitor which retails above $1,000 ( reviewed), and there’s the LG 34-inch 5K2K monitor which normally goes for around $1,400-$1,500 ( reviewed). There’s the Apple endorsed LG UltraFine 27-inch 5K display sold at Apple Stores, but at $1,300 retail price, it’s expensive for a product from 2016. While Apple’s upcoming Mac Pro and Pro Monitor are still mostly a mystery, there aren’t a lot of choices out there for Thunderbolt 3 monitors for MacBook Pro and MacBook users.
Read on for our full review of this ultra wide Thunderbolt 3 monitor that works well with the MacBook Pro and other MacBooks.
The CJ791 doesn’t bring a 4K resolution to the table, but it does come in at $800 with a compelling overall package. While most ultra wide monitors on the market with Thunderbolt 3 go for well over a thousand dollars, Samsung offers an interesting option with a 34-inch curved display, Thunderbolt 3, and a more affordable price.
