Not only for the size but the color quality. The contrast is not as crisp compared to by Macbook Pro but really close.

Honestly really fantastic purchase! Four months in and it looks great and works great, is fantastic for multitasking and gaming! I can run at least four things at once and see plenty of them still, although I just prefer one on each side of the screen. It is quite large, however, larger than you may think, and so you are going to want to make sure you have at least a 34 inch space for things minimum so it will fit without bumping into walls or so it isn't larger than the desk/table you have it on. Also am planning on buying a mount for it to sit higher on my desk, as the desk is low and the monitor only sits a few inches higher than the desk. The desk it sits on in the pic is about 47" wide for reference.

I have enjoyed the monitor more than expected. The colors are bright and the size has worked out great. everything I wanted and more..

This monitor is perfect for a single monitor set up if you have the space. It works well with MAC and Windows and the frame rate spec is no joke. Highly recommend (plus I got mine on sale)

Panel is beautiful and performs well. The only drawback is the stand which is clunky and isnt adjustable. I took it off and mounted it ... has universal mounting compatability so was easy but just be forewarned.

Perfect monitor for my WFH life. Needed to have one at another spot than my main WFH setup so i could stop lugging 2 monitors supplied by work back n forth. This big screen does the work of both and has clarity 10x fold. Perfect buy!!

Exelent tv perfect size and very good colors and definition

It's a really good monitor for the price. Does well with my MacBook Pro. Excellent display quality for what I'm using it for, which is school, and work.

This is a great monitor for home office. I can have multiple documents or programs open across the screen. Much better setup than multiple monitors.

Great monitor looks great no issues so far refresh rate could be a bit better but all in all good

Amazing monitor I have it set up as a sim rig with my Xbox I’m just waiting on some speakers so I don’t always have to use my headset when watching shows or movies

These Samsung ultraview monitors are fantastic. I'm currently using them for work since i work on massive excel sheets i can see over 30 column at a time.

I just remodeled my office and wanted to create a little more workspace. Previously I had two smaller Samsung monitors, a curved 27" and a flat 21". The layout of my new desk made this setup a bit less efficient than before and I opted for this 34" screen and I wish I had done this years ago. I am not an engineer but I clearly took a big step up in picture quality with this monitor. I do a lot of photo editing with Photoshop, Lightroom and Topaz and This monitor really handles the task with ease.

Pros Tons of room for work with extra width Anti-glare coating helps for bright rooms Bright enough for most spaces 110PPI Density makes for sharp screen Lower resolution than 4K works with lower end GPU Offers wider field of view for games 100MHz good for most gaming 5ms good for most gamers Includes AMD Freesync support Automatic brightness control HDR 10 support Good black levels for a non-OLED panel VESA mount option Decent off angle viewing Small bezels Cons Control buttons are finicky Some confusing menu options Awkward cable management strap Auto brightness not doing much Limited maximum brightness Design and Features The Samsung S50GC is an ultrawide monitor that seems to be targeting those who are looking for a budget friendly versatile productivity and gaming monitor. The monitor is very light but feels well built. Most of the weight is in the stand, which is optional as the back also offers a VESA mount. The bezels are very thin and almost unnoticeable. The power connection, headphone jack, two HDMI ports, and DisplayPort are housed in a cutout section in back with all ports facing down allowing for a flusher mount if you prefer. The stand is tilt adjustable and has a single cable organizing strap which does not hide the wires, nor does it hold them well. All controls are housed on the bottom of the monitor directly in the center. While the specs say it only has HDMI 2.0, it also says it supports 100Hz at maximum resolution for both HDMI and DisplayPort. It states the native resolution is 60Hz with 100 being the maximum which suggest that setting is overdriving it. Setup and Performance Out of the box setup is straightforward. The stand attaches to the back with two screws, and you are done. The automatic setup is Windows defaults to HDR off and the panel set to 60Hz so to use it to the fullest you will need to manually override the setting. Strangely automatic brightness is turned off by default, but in the end, it isn’t very noticeable if it is even working at all. Going from a dark room to all lights on and shining a flashlight on the monitor there was no observed change in brightness on auto. That said, it was very readable in both situations and the difference between minimum and maximum brightness is only 50 nits so maybe that is expecting too much. Overall, maximum brightness was very good when combined with the anti-glare, but a brighter panel would be appreciated. Samsung seems to have made a good choice using a VA panel. It likely won’t do well for any color accurate work but for a work/play monitor it has just enough of both feature sets to suit the task. There are no glaring color issues and HDR video looks good. Of course, with the limited brightness it won’t be as impressive as higher end panels, but it is still good. The VA panel gets surprisingly dark blacks with no visible blooming. While blacks aren’t OLED dark, they are impressive nonetheless for a budget friendly monitor. Backlight uniformity is good with no visible bleed. No motion blur or ghosting was visible, but above 60Hz text appeared jittery. It is uncertain if it was an issue with the video because testing during gaming the same stuttering wasn’t visible. In daily usage this didn’t seem to show up as a problem. Picture in picture is a feature that might come in handy considering how wide this monitor is. Through the monitor controls you can choose to have an extra input displayed side by side with the primary in split screen. It’s like having two screens side by side with no bezels. The other option is to put the secondary input in one of the corners. It’s a handy feature to have even though the placement of the buttons makes controls feel a bit awkward. The buttons have a soft activation and being under the monitor you must flip your hand upside down to feel them and try to figure out if you have pressed the button or not. The joystick interface used on some Samsung displays seems like it would have done better in this situation. The screen menu has options for volume control but unfortunately the vague descriptions in the manual simply say that it adjusts volume. This leads you to believe that the monitor might have built in speakers except it doesn’t. It took a bit of fiddling around to discover the reason for the volume control. It is for the headphone jack on the back. When plugged into HDMI the system can send audio via HDMI to the monitor and you can connect headphones, or maybe speakers, directly to the monitor. This might be handy for some, but it also causes a small quirk if you connect and disconnect a laptop frequently. For some reason even if you plug speakers directly into the laptop the moment you connect the monitor it defaults all audio the monitor. It is uncertain if this is a Windows quirk or something with the monitor but regardless of the order in which things are connected system sounds are defaulted to the monitor even if nothing is connected. This happened regardless of what laptop was connected. Wherever the problem stems it is worth noting so you can remember to change the default speaker when you connect back to the monitor. Final Thoughts While the S50GC isn’t going to wow anyone with amazing specs, it does seem to have a nice balance of quality versus value. The main question is if you can find the ultra-widescreen format useful to you. If the answer is yes and you need a budget friendly option that can handle both work and play tasks reasonably well then, the Viewfinity S50GC monitor might be worth a look.

The quality of this monitor is off the charts. 5 star rating

Good product functions well good colors and settings brightness could be a bit more modular though

Great monitor and even better view. I can now wear my contacts without issue since i am near sided and previous monitor was blurred. Defibitely recommend.

Wonderful. Extremely clear. Display will definitely achieve 3440 x 1440. Just ensure your video card is capable of such resolution.

Meets all my work from home needs and then some more

Unbelievable resolution. Great viewing experience and easy connections to Galaxy phone is how I use it in Dex mode.
