SAMSUNG 34″ ViewFinity S50GC Series Ultra-WQHD Monitor, 100Hz, 5ms, HDR10, AMD FreeSync, Eye Care, Borderless Design, PIP, PBP, LS34C502GANXZA, 2023, Black

Large, Sleek, and Stunning Display
I recently upgraded from a Samsung 27” monitor to this impressive 34-inch ViewFinity S50GC, and it’s been a fantastic improvement. As someone who works from home and uses dual monitors, swapping one out for this larger, ultra-wide display has made a huge difference in productivity and comfort.The ultra-WQHD resolution delivers crisp, vibrant visuals, and the 100Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and transitions, which is noticeable even during everyday work tasks. HDR10 support adds depth and richness to colors, making this monitor just as great for entertainment or creative work.I love the sleek, borderless design that gives a modern, minimal look to my desk setup. The eye-care features are a bonus for long hours in front of the screen, reducing strain without sacrificing brightness or clarity.Overall, this monitor feels like a premium upgrade that balances size, performance, and aesthetics. It’s perfect for anyone working remotely who needs a larger screen for multitasking and a stylish addition to their workspace.

A good value if on sale, but think carefully about why you want ultra widescreen.
First off, I’ll say that I got this here for about twenty percent off retail, and for that I would consider it a very good value.This monitor is replacing a 27″ 4k LG monitor that I gave to my daughter to use with her Macbook. The two computers that are sharing this Samsung are a file and security camera server, and a desktop computer that sees infrequent use. I wanted to replace the LG with another 27″ 4k; but I’ve always been a little “ultrawidescreen-curious” so I jumped at the opportunity to pick up this Samsung when I saw the sale price.Most monitors at this pricepoint feel very “disposable”, and considering how light this monitor is (even when it was still in the shipping box) I don’t think this is any exception. The included stand does not seem particularly sturdy. With that said, it easily bolted up to my heavy duty VESA monitor stand. (I had to use my own screws though, which thankfully, I had some spares.) Kudos to Samsung for including one each of an HDMI cable and a Displayport cable.Picture quality is solid for this pricepoint. I would not use it for gaming or even my daily work (equal time spent coding and visual design), but it is more than adequate for general/casual home use. One glaring negative for me is the lack of any sort of internal speaker, although it does have a single 1/8″ audio out jack for connecting to headphones or external speakers. Since I depend on audio alerts when my security system software is triggered, I’ll need to hook up some speakers.Monitor settings are controlled via a single small multifunction panel, about 1″ square, at the bottom center of the monitor. Much to my surprise, it works reasonably well. (I favor monitors like my BenQ that have a remote control to change source inputs and access the menu; but I realize such a feature would not be feasible at this pricepoint.)So, let’s talk about why you would want ultra widescreen. It has a 21:9 aspect ratio, so it is more than twice as wide as it is tall. It’s not great for movies, because they tend to be shot at 16:9, so you will have black bars on the left/right sides. It’s not great for general web browsing, because most websites are designed for narrower viewports — rightly so, because reading extremely long lines of text is visually fatiguing (I’m a web developer) — so you have a LOT of empty space on the left and right sides of the screen. In many ways, despite being nominally “larger” than my main work monitor (34″ vs 27″), it feels visually cramped because I have less vertical resolution available.So what would ultra widescreen be good for?- If you are working with wide spreadsheets that have many columns, you will definitely benefit from the extra horizontal space.- If you play panoramic, immersive games, you might like the expanded horizontal view. (But I would reiterate that a monitor at this pricepoint is probably not great for gaming.)- You are a coder and want to see long lines of code fit on one line. (But, coder-to-coder, I would argue that shorter, more readable lines of code is ideal.)- You are a designer that can benefit from the much wider view, e.g. 2-page layouts. (But again, as a designer myself, I would still favor a 16:9 monitor.)If any of the above apply to you, you might like ultra widescreen. For all other uses, I would probably stick with a conventional 16:9 monitor.[By the way, the 21:9 nature of this monitor does not impact my product rating for this monitor, since it is an intrinsic aspect of the design. I just want to make the above points in case you are new to this monitor format.]Oh! Almost forgot. Once nice little surprise (to me at least) with this monitor is the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) / Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature! It allows you to display the screens from two of the inputs simultaneously! I can do a little web browsing on one side of my screen, while monitoring my security system cameras on the other side. However, keep in mind that the monitor’s audio output can be only assigned to one of the inputs at a time; you cannot have it coming from 2 or 3 inputs simultaneously.

Broke after less than a year
This monitor started powering off and on and going to static after less than a year of using it. I tried replacing the HDMI cable, changing the power supply, and plugging it into a different PC with no success. I even did a computer and driver update and it has not fixed the issue. After chatting with Samsung support for an hour and a half, they told me that I would to mail the monitor in for repair, estimating it would take a week or more to assess and that I might be billed an undetermined amount for the repair cost. They refused to offer me a refund or replacement so I am forced to go buy a new (non Samsung) monitor. I run a small business and can’t be without a monitor for a week+

Compré este monitor hace dos meses a un buen precio (6mil). Facil de armar, facil de instalar, buenos colores, buen contraste. Lo uso para edicion de video en 4k y videojuegos de forma casual y no me ha falllado en nada. Excelente opcion para los indecisos y con presupuesto limitado.
