Our Verdict

Samsung C34F791/CF791

Samsung C34J791/CJ791

The Samsung C34J791/CJ791 is better than the Samsung C34F791/CF791. The two monitors have very similar picture quality. The Samsung CJ791, however, has a much lower input lag that makes it more responsive to your actions, and this is great regardless if you're a gamer or not. It also has Thunderbolt 3 support.
