I'd used a smaller traditional form factor UHD monitor and switched to this ultrawide format. I'm happy with the change since it allows me to keep multiple apps open side-by-side. The other consideration is that my webcam rides on the top of my monitor, so if I'd just gone with a larger traditional monitor, then the camera would be awkwardly high.
The quality of this monitor seems good. I have it mounted to a pre-existing VESA arm so the base doesn't take up any of my desktop space. The blocks on this monitor seem a little less black than my prior UHD monitor but it's acceptable, especially given the good price. I have no plans for gaming so I can't comment on things like refresh rates. It seems a little bit challenged to wake up when I plug my Macbook into the Displayport, but I can't be sure that's not a mac problem.

As we moved into a new house, everything was going perfectly until I tried to remount my curved monitor and placed pressure on the screen. Big mistake, CRACK! I thought, maybe it will be fine. I knew that was wishful thinking at best...
Bought this thing in a pinch because it was on sale, has a decent refresh rate, and a higher resolution that the one I had. I do miss the concavity though, and because my brain got used to it, the straight edge actually looked convex for a time. Interesting phenomenon! I enjoy the ultra-wide, but if it was any larger, I would have to update my whole setup.
My only gripe is that it is very easy to lose the cursor! I solved that today with some minor accessibility changes. Overall, a solid pick!

This monitor is flat out ridiculously good value. Maybe the best value in any monitor I’ve seen. The image quality is not going to compare to monitors that are 3-4x the price, but you won’t find better under $300 in my opinion. The contrast is good and the colors are rich. I’ve got a same size Dell that cost twice as much that doesn’t compare at all. If you are looking for amazing value, you found it. Better is going to cost you a big premium.

Review: Samsung 34” ViewFinity S5 Ultrawide QHD Monitor
I've been using the Samsung 34” ViewFinity S5 Ultrawide QHD Monitor for several weeks now, and overall, I'm impressed with its performance and features.
Pros:
Immersive Display: The 34-inch ultrawide screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio provides an expansive workspace, making multitasking and gaming more enjoyable.
Vivid Colors: The HDR10 support delivers over 1 billion colors, enhancing the visual experience with deeper blacks and brighter highlights.
Smooth Performance: With a 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync, the monitor offers smooth visuals, reducing motion blur during fast-paced activities.
Eye Comfort: The TUV-certified Intelligent Eye Care features, including Eye Saver Mode and Flicker Free technology, help reduce eye strain during prolonged use.
Cons:
Limited Color Calibration Options: While the monitor offers basic color adjustments, it lacks advanced features like color filters or presets for specific tasks (e.g., gaming, photo editing). More granular control over color settings would be beneficial for users requiring precise color accuracy.
Stand Adjustability: The stand only supports tilt adjustments, lacking height, swivel, or pivot functionalities, which could enhance ergonomic comfort.

Bought for my husband and he absolutely loves it! Easy to navigate multiple screens. Easy to operate. So much more efficient with the additional screens. Five stars!!!!

I debated forever on which one to get and ultimately I wanted to get an ultrawide 49 in from Samsung. However, I went with this one instead and while Im not disappointed by any means, it’s not the one I wanted. I only gave it 3 stars because of the lack of speakers. Other than that it’s a gorgeous monitor with great picture.

great value when u get on sale like i did. only 100hz but that is plenty better than 60... and plus keeps u from chasing the sun for more fps when 100 is all u need.

Really enjoying this monitor. Bought it marked as an opened box. Had it shipped and it arrived quickly with no damage. It was plug and go for me. The chose this for business purposes. I didnt have the room for two monitors and their brackets so I optes for a monitor with screen size big wnough I could ‘split screen’. I can do my side by side data entry and even play a movie or show for my LO when she refuses to let me put her down without it affecting what I need to see and do. Highly recommend.

Large display! Easy set up. I have a lot of room to work. Three documents side by side. This is the biggest monitor I've ever used. So, i don't have a whole lot to compare it to. My children used it for fortnight and were able to get the whole screen filled with the game. I guess that's an advantage, but I'm no gamer. If I could redo my purchase I would've gotten the curved screen. I find myself wishing I'd have gotten the curved screen for ease on the eyes.

Looks great, ultrawide is awesome, be sure that the higher 100Hz settings are enabled in your pc settings. Wasn't a fan of the light-sensing/auto-dimming feature, but that can be changed in the settings.
