Pros
Pro Blue light filter reduces eyestrain
Samsung has used its own measures to filter out and eliminate the amount of blue light emitted from the screen if needed and requested. Blue light has been proven to decrease sleep quality; this feature is especially helpful when used during the night.
Pro Works well in brightly lit rooms
The C23F390FHU features an anti-glare panel, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections, loss of clarity due to light, fingerprints and smudges.
Pro Mirrored finish doesn't attract fingerprints
Despite the glossy, mirrored finish of the C23F390FHU's frame, it does not attract fingerprints and smudges keeping the enclosure clean.
Pro Looks great from every angle
An advantage of the VA-panel is the maximum range of the viewing angles. The monitor looks great from every horizontal and vertical viewing angle and color shifting (distortion of colors) doesn't occur.
Pro Curved display increases visual workspace
The C24F390FHU is curved and is angled similar to the curves of the human eye. Points on the screen are spread more evenly across your eyes, which increases your visual workspace at a normal distance and can reduce eyestrain.
Pro Excellent image quality with great color reproduction, suitable for graphical work
The VA panel is produced by Samsung and offers a couple of advantages compared to TN-panels. The image quality is excellent with vibrant colors due to the VA's panel natural higher color reproduction and a good contrast ratio of 3000:1.
Pro Anti-glare display
The G2460PQU features an anti-glare panel, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections, loss of clarity due to light, fingerprints and smudges.

Cons
Con No built-in speakers
There are no small speakers built-in for normal use, the use of additional speakers or headphones is necessary.
Con Lack of DisplayPort or DVI ports limits connectivity
The C24390FHU doesn't have a DisplayPort input, a relatively new connection standard that's widespread among recent graphical cards. The older, digital DVI-port isn't supported either.
Con Refresh rate limited to 60Hz not great for fast-paced action
The maximum refresh rate of this display is 60 Hertz, or 60 frames per second. Some other display offer a much faster refresh rate of 120 or even 144 Hz, which increases overall fluidity and responsiveness of the display, especially in gaming situations.
Con Build quality isn't optimal, feels a bit wobbly
Although Samsung hasn't chosen cheap plastic materials, the monitor does feel a bit wobbly around the neck-area, which may result in accidental sliding.
Con Slower response time makes it less ideal for gaming
The response time for the screen is limited at 4 ms, which is significantly slower than some other monitors. This makes the C24390FHU less ideal for gaming situations that require fast-paced input.
Con Needs proper calibration for best results
In terms of color, the G2460PQU is able to achieve a little under 96% of the sRGB standard, but there are some hue errors in magenta and cyan which prohibits the screen from reaching 100% of the sRGB color gamut. Calibration is needed to eliminate these errors as much as possible - but still remain visible after calibration.
Con Slight over-saturation of blue
The blue and magneta colors are slightly over-satured, even after calibration.
Con Bad viewing angles
Color shifting occurs when viewing the display at around the 60° mark horizontally, and color shifting (the distortion of colors) is even more noticeable when viewed at vertical angles.
