    Ultra Widescreen monitor gives you extra work area

    I have never used an Ultra widescreen monitor before, but it is very nice to have all the extra desktop to have multiple things open at a time. I work from home and had been using a 22” monitor along with my laptop screen. That was working ok for me, but having the extra wide screen is really a plus. I can have basically two documents open at the same time on this monitor. Setting it up out of the box was a little bit of a challenge. It is not as easy as plug in the HDMI cable and go to settings and detect your monitor. At first it would just project my laptop screen. My laptop only has an HDMI output, so I used one of the 2 HDMI inputs on the display. It also has a display port input. After going through the settings on the monitor I was able to figure out the correct setting for my laptop to recognize the display. I can now go back to work and it recognizes my two monitors at work and still recognizes my single wide monitor at home. This monitor is not quite as vibrant as my laptop. It is sharp enough, but the colors just aren’t quite as nice. Maybe if I adjusted the color settings it might be better, but I only set the resolution. Overall I would recommend this widescreen display if you are looking for more work space.

    No complaints at all. First new monitor in years so this is much lighter, clearer & quick to set up.

    Samsung - 34" ViewFinity S50GC Ultra-WQHD 100Hz AMD FreeSync Monitor This monitor was packaged really securely and well! It was an easy set up out of the box too – only needed a screwdriver to attach the stand. It also comes with a removable panel on the back to mount it on a wall. Along with this beautiful 34” ultra-wide monitor, you get 2 HDMI cables, power cord, and limited paper instructions. It is pretty simple to get this all set up on your own though. The back of the TV is where the ports are: the power port, 2 HDMI’s, DP, and headset area are all together. There is a 5-way circular button on the under area of the monitor for power and on-screen functions. I am not a fan of this and find it a little awkward to use – just my preference. There is also a rubber piece on the back of the stand to help with keeping the cords managed – nice touch! This connected easily to my laptop and works great for projecting 2 screens onto one area! I have nothing to compare this really nice size monitor to but have to say that I really enjoy the size and clarity of it so far. The screen is a very nice size and has minimal bezel making for more picture availability on the screen. The brightness automatically adjusts as well – to the lighting of the room. I don’t really need to use the headset option yet but it is a great added feature to have. All in all, I would say this is a great sized monitor with many nice picture features for this price.

    A decent but not great monitor

    The good: I was interested in this monitor because of its Ultra-wide resolution. In that manner the monitor does not disappoint. The 3440 horizontal resolution is almost as wide as two standard 1080P monitors. Using Windows 11 I am able to dock two side by side browser windows and they were a perfect size. The monitor has two HDMI ports and a Display Port, so you have the ability connect multiple devices to the monitor with ease. There is also a headphone jack that allows you to listen to sound that is redirected through the input port. Unfortunately there are some things that I am disappointed with in this monitor: For one it was not that bright. Being that it is an HDR monitor, I thought it would be pretty bright. When I adjusted the settings, I could never get it so the color pops. The second issue Is that I am not able to use the advertised 100Hz refresh rate on the monitor. I have tried with two laptops connected to the HDMI port, using the included cable, and I was only able to go up to 60Hz. (I have another 3840x1600 monitor at home and that one supports 75hz with the same laptop) While having a headphone jack is nice, I am not a fan of the placement in the back of the monitor. It would be pretty awkward to have to plug headphones in and out on a regular basis. Overall the monitor is decent, but I think you can find a better alternative.

    Great Monitor. Great Price.

    So far a great monitor at this price-point. This is a VA monitor and as such, extremely bright with deep dark blacks and crisp colors. The monitor size & 110PPI resolution allow me to view 4-laptop-sized windows simultaneously with extreme clarity on both Windows and Macs. Samsung has done a good job here balancing build quality and affordability.

    Good Screen Overall

    It is a good, wide screen that you don't need a second screen if you use it your daily office tasks. However, sometimes the resolution seems odd, and you need to adjust you distance from the screen in order to use it in full efficient way.

    Review for Samsung - 34" ViewFinity S50GC Ultra-WQHD 100Hz AMD FreeSync Monitor with HDR10 (DisplayPort, HDMI) I currently have a two-monitor setup. I got this monitor because I do video production and thought it would be wonderful to have a display large enough to see all of my windows in one place. Color and sharpness were also critically important. For the most part, I was disappointed with this monitor. But let me start with the positives: this monitor is easy to assemble and sturdy despite its lightness. It has a very narrow bezel, so you get A LOT of screen real estate. (Although, the actual pixels do not go up to the bezel.) Even though it doesn’t swivel, it has a convenient tilt feature. A rubber cable management system conveniently lets you secure up to two display cables. (Although adding the power cable and webcam cable made using it difficult.) Some of my concerns are with the viewability on the left and right edges of the display. About 3-4” of each side of the monitor are difficult to see and the color is washed out. If you consider these areas as unusable, you’re pretty much back to a standard-sized monitor! Finally, some of this monitor’s problems can be mitigated by adjusting the default settings. In its favor, the monitor has a sensor that detects lighting levels in the room and automatically adjusts the brightness. The energy saving feature uses a “dimmer by default” setting that is not really optimum; I liked the color and contrast better at a brighter setting. Typically, you’d expect the HDR setting to give you better overall performance; I found the opposite. Grays and blacks got less distinct and the overall sharpness declined with the HDR setting on. Also, I found using the “dynamic contrast” setting (under “picture mode”) improved both the contrast and the color rendition. The PBP (picture by picture) feature is intended to let you use two sources side by side - your home computer and your work computer, for example. Sadly, switching between two sources caused random aspect ratio problems that could be fixed by adjusting the settings in the menu, but obviated the convenience of this feature.
