There is also a Game Mode, which alters color to help sharpen the picture. It warms the color temp and reduces brightness. If you prefer to use a low blue light mode to help reduce eye fatigue, that setting, dubbed Eye Saver, is available in the second half of the Picture menu. The feature set is appropriate for a monitor of this type with a three-level overdrive, game mode and all the necessary controls for calibration.

You can also adjust picture-in-picture (PIP) and source without going into the full menu. To call up the OSD, press the joystick, click up and press again.

There are no built-in speakers, but there is a headphone jack, plus volume control in the OSD. HDMI is version 2.0, so it works at the monitor’s full native resolution. The photo shows a Mini DisplayPort input, but our sample came with a standard-size port, version 1.2. The input panel is hidden under the circular snap-on cover, and you can fish the cables down the hollow upright for a super-clean look. Heat is a non-factor you can expect cool running from the UR59C. Around back, you’ll find a textured plastic surface unbroken by angles or vent holes. The side profile is about as thin as a curved monitor can get. The stand’s fulcrum is down low, so tilting the panel moves the top away from you.There is no VESA mount, meaning you’re stuck with the factory stand. With no vertical or swivel movements, the only adjustments are 17 degrees back tilt and 2 degrees forward. While extremely solid, it’s also very light and spindly. Some of the savings seem to come from the stand, which is a minimalist affair. It toggles the power and navigates the on-screen display (OSD) easily and intuitively. Control is accomplished by a joystick found around the back-right side. A thin bezel surrounds the top and sides with a wider band across the bottom. The picture is crystal clear, thanks to an excellent anti-glare layer keeping reflections out of the way. There's no image distortion, and the curve is quite natural, bringing in the sides of the screen in a natural way and just enough to keep the entire desktop within your peripheral vision if sitting about 3 feet away. Its 1500mm curve radius sounds tight on paper, but since it’s not an ultra-wide, the curve seems less extreme in person. The UR59C is simple and understated while being distinctly Samsung.
