Bad quality. The colours of the monitor are not really intensive. The contrast is quite bad. I was sitting 10 minutes in front of the screen and I have had to stop working since my eyes were tired. In addition, the foot of the screen is not really very solid. My screen was not really horizontal.

the quality of the screen and video is great. no flicker, great quality resolution and mounting holes on the back to mount my mini pc. a great value for the money.

purchased from costco and love the size and quality of the picture. however, the stand that comes with the monitor is terrible. maybe i'm a "keyboard pounder" but the stability on the stand is not good at all. my monitor shakes whenever i am typing. tried to find a wall mount bracket for the back of the monitor but sales transferred me to their parts department who doesn't carry anything and sent me back to sales who doesn't carry anything. frustrating

this is a great product that i have come to enjoy. 1) it is perfect for my wfh setup and 2) it complements my switch from macbook pro setup to mac mini setup! but for me, 2 things that really get in the way of a smooth user experience: 1) the screen sleep time is very short even if i have configured my laptop to 1 hour sleep. i think the monitor overrides the laptop configuration and goes on sleep mode w/o regard to the pc sleep time. 2) the automatic detect for source detection is also problematic. thus i always have to manually switch from my pc (hdmi 1) when using mac (hdmi 2) and does not smoothly navigate between sources and you have to cycle thru the display options. for a monitor costing almost 400usd, these kinks should not exist, hence, the -1 star rating.

i bought this screen at the costco sale for just $ 269,99! it replaced my 4k samsung 16:9 monitor. the colors on the 4k monitor are better, but the fact that i now can use two windows side-by-side is worth it. easy to connect and works right out of the box.

I had many issues with the power cord. Support had me send it in and determined the power cord was the issue. It has been running great since getting it back. They could have shipped it faster but I'm just happy to have it back for work.

fantastic once i got it set up. a challenge with getting the sound to go through the monitor's sound port. problem wasn't with the monitor but the output settings on the pc. samsung help solved the issue. about the monitor: fantastic picture, great size (and now that i've spent an hour with the little touch wheel on the back, lots of customization of picture.

after several months of research, i was wavering between a 4k 28" dual monitor and an ultrawide monitor. after much thought, i decided to go with the ultrawide. this was most predicated on the fact that i am running an gtx sli 980ti. i order this directly from samsung. the time that it took to receive the monitor was a bit disappointing (it took more than a week), but i was happy when the package arrived unmolested from the left coast. before the monitor arrived i had read several reviews that indicated that the oem stand was undesirable, at best. i researched desktop vesa monitor stands and found a well liked hemuda tv stand online.

i bought this from costco for 299 and its been worth every penny. i only wish that it was more than 75hz but i really shouldn't be complaining due to it being a great value.

it has a sharp picture with many options. i mounted mine on a floor stand in front of my desk instead of using the stand that came with it. i use it at 3440x1440 and set the win10 display zoom to %150. i have an rx 590 fatboy graphics card.

i have to admit, when i first hooked this up and started using it, i wasn't sure i was going to keep it. i read the instructions and made some adjustments and wow! i love this monitor. great for games and work. i would definitely recommend it for almost anything.

i love the size and it seems to work flawlessly. the coloring does look washed out no matter what setting i've tried. but the price is one of the cheapest i've seen for a ultrawide.

Where do I begin?? I'm EXTREMELY (and I wish that I clukd make this letters bigger) disappointed with the quality of this monitor. Right from the moment that I turned this monitor on, without even plugging a computer in yet, I began to see different color lines of pixels. I read a review about "seizing Samsung" and of course that I ignored it because I am a devoted (was maybe) Samsung user and ordered the monitor regardless. The color was (I am returning this junk) horrible, dull, yellowish colors (my laptop looked 100% better. Of course that I played with the settings and resolutions, without success. Besides what everyone else's says, if you can stay away from this monitor do so. Again, I am a devoted Samsung users, but this monitor has lots to be desired.

Just bought this monitor after having a 1080p 29" LG ultrawide. All I gotta say is, the down tilt angle is garbage and horrible for setups with raised monitors, Sitting dead center of the monitor and about 2/3rds of the rest of the monitor is just washed out white

I received my Samsung Ultra wQHD monitor a few days ago, and wow!, the size and brightness of this screen is impressive. i was extremely excited to see what Samsung DEX would look like and perform on this screen, and it does not disappoint, settings were perfect right out of the box. with my multi tasking, pulling up multiple documents to work on and researching in the browser, i have essentially created a complete desktop setup for less than $500.00 that performs seamlessly and is more than enough for the tasks i am going to require of it. The unboxing and setup was extremely easy, no instructions necessary, in a world where poeple pay IT departments to do anything tech related, this makes them obsolete!

The Samsung Ultra Wide 24" monitor is perfect for anyone needing additional screen space. This monitor has a crystal clear 3440 x 1440 resolution and the ability to connect using Display port or HDMI. I current connect using the Display port which allows me to connect a second monitor using the HDMI port. The screen split allows be to dedicate two screens on this monitor at the same time. This is great for programming an web design. Now I can have a screen for edits and one to view output. This is also helpful for spreadsheets and other work related tasks. Screen is so clear, I have also used this monitor to stream Hulu and Amazon movies. This would be convenient for small spaces like a dorm room. The setup was easy. Only took a few minute from box to ready to use. Laptop located and automatically installed the correct drivers. No searching and no need for CDs. Thinking about picking up a second one for my home office.

Wow, what a beautiful monitor. With the huge 3440x1440 resolution on a 34 inch screen, you can do it all with just one monitor. Having two applications running side by side with room to spare is quite an awesome experience on this one monitor. Plus you can include additional inputs from another PC, game system, or TV simultaneously with the Picture in Picture / Picture by Picture feature. This is a super sharp and bright monitor and I'm really enjoying it. I took the monitor through a spin on my YouTube review check it out. #SamsungMonitorExperience #SamsungUltraWideMonitor

From the moment I pulled it out of the box I knew it was something special about it Maybe it was just the insane size maybe it was the overall slim and simplistic look. All I knew at the time was I was excited to find out what this monitor was capable of. I got this monitor to replace 2 19” monitors which crowded my desk and did not have a great visual appeal to them maybe that had to do with the fact that they were different brands. My job in finance means I need multiple monitors or so I thought. It’s not multiple monitors I need it’s one monitor that’s capable of multitasking. That monitor is the 34” Samsung ultra-wide monitor. I am able to fit more on one screen than I ever was able to on 2 all in more clarity. Set up was simple 2 pieces to set up the stand and then connect the stand easily to the monitor itself locked into place via 1 screw. Then via 1 hdmi cable to my laptop and I was good to go. I can see entire spreadsheets with out the need to scroll left or right or up or down. I can also have email up too without the two programs interfering with each other. Going through the settings the monitor is capable of PIP which splits the screen into two so you would be the equivalent of having 2 15” monitors. I tried to set this feature up but was unable to as you need to have 2 hdmi cables and inputs. And my laptop being a few years old only had one. I do plan on trying this out though perhaps connecting to be able to watch Netflix or or cable . Yes that is multitasking at its best! And this Samsung monitor definitely lives up to the hype. I recommend this monitor to anyone who needs to work with multiple programs at once. Or wants a cleaner set up than having to have a couple of bulky monitors on your desk.

At first, I was hesitant that I would not like the 34" HD monitor over having (2 24" monitors to use in my home office. Only after using it for about 15 minutes, I realized that this is going to work out great! The 34" monitor looks great and has a great aesthetic appeal in my office. The ability to have split screen and windows stacked clearly has helped me manage all the tasks that I am trying to complete. This was great for Oulook/Email, Web Browsers, Excel, CRM and other line of business applications. The PIP (Picture in Picture) was easy to setup and use. Couple clicks and I was ready to rock and roll. My mom could even do it. I would highly recommend this monitor to someone that needs something like this. I won't mind doing work at home as much now! P.S. - This also looks a lot nicer in my office, which keeps my wife happy.

My new Samsung screen monitor has been a game changer. Not only for my work productivity but also for my eyesight. Everything is ready to go,right out of the box. I went from having two monitors to One, and I don’t miss a thing. I work with different databases and the screen split option is perfect and functional. I can also view more of the documents I’m working on without zooming in and out. The design Of the monitor is nice and sleek. The stand doesn’t take up a whole lot of space on my desk and I'm so grateful I no longer have a bunch of ugly cables draping across my desk. The monitors menu (JOG button) is easy to navigate, easy to reach and is also where you’ll find the eye saver settings which I highly recommend. Low blue light settings means no more ugly blue blocking glasses & No more daily headaches after working on my computer for several hours. Everyone who has walked into my office compliments the beauty and spectacular screen display this monitor gives. Highly recommend. see the before & after below

I typically work from home and utilize a dual monitor in my home office setup. My old monitor developed a large line right down the center of the screen, so I was in the market for a new monitor!! I knew I wanted a larger monitor. I figured if I'll invest in a new monitor, I should find one that is much larger. I wasn't aware of the Ultrawide monitor category, and took a look at a few of the options out there. I decided upon the Samsung QHD Ultra Wide monitor for a few reasons. With this monitor I can use two HDMI cables and connect to my laptop and get rid of both of my old monitors. The resolution is stunning and there's no sacrifice on quality when I'm using a dual screen setup. As you can see in the photos, I'm multitasking by streaming on one screen and browsing on the right side of the screen! The Picture By Picture is perfect for my needs and at 34" I don't need to zoom in on emails or other text documents. Well worth the price and I'll have the Samsung QHD Ultra Wide for a number of years! Glad I made the investment and the monitor is an excellent balance of performance, quality, resolution and price!! Great work Samsung!

Like wow! This monitor really changes everything. I can get things done so much quicker by using the screen splitting technology picture by picture is the easiest way to complete a lot of work at once which makes it is so amazing for work and I just love this. I can't say enough good about this monitor. The picture quality is fantastic. Screen clarity is superb. This is just the trick to keep me up to date on my work so I can spend more time with my family and doing the things I love. Thank you for the opportunity to try out this wonderful product. Samsung really out did yourself. The quality and picture are just excellent. I am tend to get migraines when working on a computer but this one I do not! This is beyond amazing!!!

I can finally say that I’ve found a monitor that’s perfect for my job as a web developer. I’ve used several different external monitors with my laptop, but all except this 34” Samsung SJ55W ultra-wide have missed the mark in some way. Normal 1080p monitors just couldn’t show enough on the screen, causing me to continually flip back and forth between applications. 4K monitors were super-crisp and high resolution, but the font sizes were too small to comfortably read. This Samsung’s wide screen and 3440x1440 resolution is just right and has no problem displaying my code editor and a couple of terminals and browsers on the screen at the same time. Another thing I love about this monitor is its non-reflective screen. My desk at work is directly next to a big window, and this caused big problems in the past with major glare on other monitors that had glossy panels. I’ve never had any trouble seeing my work on this Samsung’s screen, even in bright daylight. The monitor offers other features like the ability to display two video inputs/sources at the same time (side-by-side or picture-in-picture) and FreeSync capability, but I’ve yet to try them. The 75Hz refresh rate is a little higher than the 60Hz most other monitors have, and combined with it’s speedy 4ms response time, this would also make a nice gaming monitor. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with using this monitor on a daily basis at work. I’ve spent a solid month with it now and can’t imagine going back to a different monitor. My productivity has really increased now that I'm able to keep all my important applications visible at the same time. Thanks to Samsung for such a great monitor!

Super excited to receive this monitor I have a dedicated desktop for video editing. Now I have plenty of room working in Adobe premier pro & after effects, no more scrolling side side to see everything. It was packaged well, attached the stand in seconds. Although little, LOVE the cable clip on the back to keep them inline with the stand and hidden.. picture quality of the WQHD is amazing, it is Sharp, colors are bright and crisp!! Havent used the pip option havent needed too! I would highly recommend it for anyone using video or photo editing software

If you want amazing quality this is the monitor for you. First off I love way that the packaging was done. Two boxes but the outside box was an unmarked boxed. This made me happy/felt a lot better since mine sat on my porch for a couple hours and no one was the wiser as to what it was. Next set up was a breeze. It took longer to open the two boxes then to attach the two pieces...yes two pieces...4 if you count the cables & power cord. It should only take you 5 minutes maybe 10 minutes tops. My laptop is small and light however, the downfall with that is a small screen. I have used dual monitors which was helpful up until my purchasing of the Samsung 34" Ultra WQHD Monitor for my home office one screen is enough. I can multitask to my hearts desire. Tons of applications and or browser windows can fill this monitor an you can keep plugging away. If you pick the PIP option the size is awesome. Many different placement on the screen. I also love the eye saver mode...after staring at a screen all day (8/10 hours plus) our eyes need a break. You will totally notice a difference once you turn this feature on/off. The only thing I must warn you is if you have an old style desk (molded for a certain size) this monitor will not fit. Do yourself a favor upgrade your desk...it will need to be an open concept or long desk.

Binge watching your favorite shows just got so much better. A totally immersive experience using the 34" SJ55W Ultra WQHD Monitor. This monitor can double as your television because it is just that great. The picture is so clear and vibrant I feel like I can reach in and grab that hamburger on the commercial, take a bite and enjoy. The Ultra-wide screen has allowed me to be more productive and decrease the time it takes to complete activities. Scrolling and flipping through several screens is no longer needed because everything you need to view fits perfectly on the display. No more flipping between spreadsheets and internet browsers to pay bills. Conveniently record your payments side by side while you view the online payment portal. This has also made photo editing easier. I can now view several pictures and use multiple programs to achieve my best images. The Samsung SJ55W UltraWide monitor has transformed how I work. I highly recommend this product.
