Ultrawide WQHD (SJ55)

Received this item yesterday, so I will write my thoughts on it so far. First off, it’s a very nice looking monitor. It looks very good quality with the surround around the screen and the base stand. Just don’t touch it. The base is a little on the flimsy side but this can be forgiven at this price point. Easy enough to set up, and once it’s on, the picture is very good. I looked at a few ultrawide monitors at this price point and this one definitely seems to have the best specification, with little in the way of downsides. I’ve yet to try gaming properly on it, as I think I’ll probably have to upgrade my GPU first before I can do so. However so far, so good, I am very happy with this monitor and it is a huge upgrade from what I had previously.

Great quality monitor for the price (great deal on prime day), so big it will take a while to get used too. Please note hdmi 1 only supports 50hz but hdmi 2 supports 60 and 75hz. I’m not a big gamer but this is fab for strategy type games as the screen is so large you can see extra bits you couldn’t before Highly recommended.

A very solid way to get into a 34" 1440 Ultra-wide. It really is large, sat on my desk but I would still go for it over a 29" 1080 version due to pixel density. Very good colour reproduction as well. It also makes for a great bedroom TV given its large size and cinematic aspect ratio. Minor complaints, the viewing angle is not great, I do notice the colour washing out at the edges while sat at my desk looking directly at it. Height adjustment would have been nice as it sits a bit too low for my liking but nothing a VESA mounting arm can't fix for a few quid. Of course the refresh rate could be higher but for the price paid (£260 on Prime Day) it's far better value than some of the other more gaming specific panels on sale.

Bought this as a productivity monitor for my Macbook Pro, as due to its size and dimensions, it can comfortably fit 4 windows open on one screen. The screen itself is very large, and comfortably fits multiple open windows, surpassing the need for two monitors. In terms of the display itself, picture quality is good, with the resolution providing very sharp edges and smooth curves, with no visible pixels from a distance of about 40cm. Colour is accurate and quite life-like, although it doesn't quite 'pop' as it would on a glossy screened IPS panel. However, this has its benefits being VA and a matte screen, as the screen is perfectly visible even in a very bright room with near direct sunlight. I often find screens too harsh on the eye especially working at night, and this has never been an issue with this monitor, as there are plenty of contrast and brightness controls to adjust the mointor to the appropriate settings. Only major downside to this is the stand. The stand is huge, heavy and quite plasticky. Lukcily, I bought a vesa mount arm in advance though, which clamps to my desk and insures the monitor takes up literally no desk space, looks classier and gives endless height and tilt adjustability. I could not recommend buying one of these enough, as it could literally double your desk space with this on it, and looks so much better. Summary: Good: -Sharp resolution -Huge display -Accurate colours -Lots of ports for multiple sources -Very useable in very bright, unfavourable conditions -Had no compatibility issues with my Macbook or Dell desktop Bad: -Huge, plasticky stand -Colours don't really 'pop', though are accurate Overall I'd definitely reccomend buying this if you need a lot of space for multiple windows, as it costs the same as a decent dual monitor setup, but with a higher resolution and taking up less physical space. I've used this with my Xbox One X, and although I have encountered no issues with the physical display, no gaming console to date supports ultrawide so the image is stretched and I don't believe it is possible to letterbox the display so if you're looking for something for console gaming then don't go ultrawide. Otherwise, its great

Been an absolute belter for 6/7 years I've had it. Not missed a beat.

I bought this primarily for my mac but also for my PS4 pro and Nintendo switch. I was totally expecting to get black borders on either side of the screen since neither the PS4 or the Switch support a 21:9 screen. However, to my surprise, both consoles supported this format right out of the box. Sadly there is no 1440p support on these consoles but that hardly bothers me. No settings were changed, it just worked. Since this is a budget ultrawide monitor, I wasn't expecting very many features, however again, I am pleased to see that there is a game mode, an option to boost the response time and also a gaming mode which really accentuates contrast and colours in game, almost making the image look upscaled. There is another model on amazon with a slightly different code but priced at £350. If anyone was wondering, the only different between this model and the other is that this one does not have speakers, while she other does. However, for the (as of now) £20 price different, I would much rather go for this and plug in some cheap speakers which will almost certainly sound better than whatever they've fitted into the other model. All in all, a very pleasant surprise and amazing value for money. (Bought for £330)

Being a network engineer having multiple windows open is fantastic on this screen. I was getting frustrated with multiple displays and not having enough space on a single one. This conquers that issue. SecureCRT multi-windows looks great with plenty of room for PuTTY screens, although the fact windows can be in a single one with SecureCRT makes it more friendly. If you are a professional graphic designer or video editor this specific screen may not be the one, but ultrawide certainly is the way to go. I use adobe photoshop etc.. and you have so much room for the toolbars. It meets my needs here and I don't need 100% colour space representation and all the other bits you guys look for as I am a hobbyist. I have not used it as a gaming monitor and thus have not rated it. I purchased it solely for productivity. The text is lovely and clear and all the images are sharp. I suggest you use a VESA mount with this as it gives you more movement. I did need to buy additional VESA screws though to reach the holes in the monitor fully. I have a Lenovo T450 through work and the only way to get max resolution is to use a mini display port to display port cable. Converting it from a mini display port to HDMI does not work, despite the screen and graphics supporting it. The issue will be down to the GPU not supporting HDMI 2.0 I would imagine. If you have more than one device that needs a display port to get 4k at 60hz you will have to swap the cables around. HDMI 1.0 may support the resolution but not a 60hz only 30hz which impacts the picture a lot. You require an HDMI 2.0 device to achieve that. I had to upgrade my workstations GPU at further cost because this only had a display port. This screen only has one HDMI port capable of that 60hz. The other is only 30hz, so connectivity needs to be considered. If Samsung gave this 2 display ports and made both HDMI 60hzs it really would be perfect. I still rate it 5 stars because most people will only need one of the options and the price at £350 was worth it. I can already see it has jumped to £408!

Most of my use is for office applications and photography so I can't comment from a gaming point of view but I think this is a great monitor. I've replaced two 22 inch monitors with this and it's so much better, the width of the desktop allows for multiple good sized windows to be viewed simultaneously without feeling cramped. The monitor itself looks nice with good finish. The drawbacks for me.. 1) The power supply lead is really poorly designed with the cable constantly falling out of the socket on the back of the monitor. When setting up the monitor this was infuriating as each time the monitor was moved to add an input cable or adjust the position the cable would drop out. I've seriously never known any quality branded product to have this sort of design flaw. I have to say I would have returned it just because of this had I not overcome the issue with gaffer tape. 2) I realise the fashion is to have no ugly buttons visible on the exterior but I do find the joystick type controller on the back of the monitor a fiddle to use. I am frequently switching betweeen inputs and it is inconvenient to have to reach around the monintor to do this. The menu is not particularly user friendly either. Add to this the fact that the power cable is likely to fallout as soon as you move the controller and you can see the frustration building. Despite these points it's a great monitor for the price I paid (black friday deal) and I am happy with it.

Siempre he usado dos monitores para trabajar, ahora en época de confinamiento tenía un solo monitor, y decidí invertir en un solo monitor Ultrawide. Tiene la pantalla totalmente plana, el cambio es brutal, mucho mejor que usar 2 monitores, con una resolución de 3440x1440 hay sitio de sobra para todas las ventanas, incluso más que usando 2 monitores FullHD. Tiene una línea muy bonita y el monitor es muy delgado. Con soporte VESA 100X100 para colgarlo a la pared con cualquier adaptador medianamente decente. Las conexiones se pueden realizar aún teniéndolo con soporte que deje el monitor muy pegado a la pared. En juegos el desempeño es bastante bueno ofrece 75hz y 4ms de refresco, ahora lo que necesitarás es invertir en una gráfica que mueva esa resolución a 75hz. Compatible con AMD Freesync. Supongo que la opción de coger el curvo es mejor y seguramente más inmersiva, pero para uso de oficina y algo gaming va genial. Hay modelos que ofrecen más hz de refresco, pero para mí uso de 1-2 horas al día de juego sirve perfectamente, no he encontrado nada mejor calidad/precio estuve buscando durante más de 2 semanas alternativas. Otra opción que ofrece muy importante es conectar a las entradas que tiene 2 ordenadores, con el modo PIP podemos dividir el monitor en 2 pantallas iguales o una grande y otra pequeña superpuesta, que la podemos colocar en 4 posiciones distintas. Tiene 2 entradas HDMI y una DP, la fuente de alimentación es externa y bastante pequeña, la tengo colocada debajo de la mesa. También descubrí se puede inclinar hacia adelante o hacia atrás. El panel es VA, no es un IPS pero no hay problemas visión desde los laterales. Sin pixeles muertos. No trabajo con gráficos así que no puedo opinar sobre la gama de colores. En resumen, una maravilla, esta claro que es el futuro ojalá lo hubiera comprado antes.

I bought two of this screens for my computer setup. For several reasons, I haven't used one of them which is inside its box -I have to set the desk, buy a VESA stand for them two, and life itself stopped me from doing that yet. Regarding the monitor I have used, it's great: good brightness, great resolution, it's fast and it makes productivity easier than ever because it provides you with 34 inches of real state and a new experience for those who, like me, come from laptops and smaller screens on desktops. I love the function which allows you to split the content on your skin and locate it wherever you want. You can open Word on one half of the screen, your internet browser on a quarter of the screen and your email on the other quarter, for instance. In short, you can array the info in useful ways which allow you to make the most of this screen. I have even watched movies and series, connecting the screen to an android TV Box by Xiaomi, and I loved the experience. In fact, one HDMI port is used by my computer and the other one is used by my Mi Box. So I just have to switch the font on the monitor -which is very easy, with a button on the back which operates like a small joystick, so to speak- and the job is done. The only issue, if any, is that this monitor has no speakers, but I use bluetooth ones connected to my computer and I have no regrets about that. So, my 2 cents: a great monitor. Great Price-Quality ratio. I would buy them both again and, in fact, I think that I may buy another one, once I fix a few issues and have a chance, to have three identical monitors on my workspace and improve my productivity while not punishing my eyesight.

Non è il miglior monitor possibile, per il quale dovrete spendere una cifra molto più alta, è il miglior monitor che potete comprare con questi soldi, soprattutto per lavoro, a meno che vostra necessità non vogliate un curvo, che non è migliore, è soltanto diverso. Si adatta bene a tutto o quasi ed è uno spettacolo. A metterci l'impegno è anche overclockabile fino a 100hz e supporta il Freesync. A me non serve, lo uso per lavoro. Lo consiglio. Tenete conto che è molto più grande dei norrmali monitor, però, e anche per questo è uno spettacolo. Promosso.

Après avoir longtemps hésité, j'ai opté pour un moniteur large: j'utilise mon ordinateur pour lire (beaucoup) à l'écran (mails, documents) essentiellement. J'ai donc besoin de pouvoir visualiser au moins 2 documents ouverts côte à côte. Je n'ai donc que faire des écrans pour gamers et d'une fréquence de 10 KHz. Je travaille aussi sur des fichiers vidéo avec plusieurs caméras synchronisées (gestuelle, langue des signes). Et je fais du montage vidéo en amateur (cours en ligne), ainsi qu'un peu de MAO à mes heures perdues. Dans tous ces cas, un écran LARGE fait la différence: plus besoin de naviguer entre plusieurs fenêtres, de raccourcir certaines zones pour en agrandir d'autres. La livraison a été très rapide. Concernant l'état de l'écran: je ne peux déceler aucun des problèmes évoqués par d'autres utilisateurs. Pas de pixel mort (ou alors je ne les vois pas), pas de fuite de lumière ou autre (ghosting, etc.). Mais je ne suis pas (du tout) gamer, ni graphiste. Le réglage des couleurs + contraste par défaut me convient, je trouve le mode "eye saver" un peu sombre (cf. 3è photo), mais c'est à peu près comparable au même réglage sur d'autres appareils (smartphone, mac portable). Les photos montrent le rendu pour du texte, d'une vidéo en 4K, et de mon environnement de travail habituel (linux ubuntu). Le côté bleuté du texte est dû au capteur photo de mon smartphone, pas à l'écran. La lecture à 60-80 cm est très bien; avec un tel écran je peux, si besoin me reculer pour moins solliciter ma vision de près. Cet écran est plus cher que mon budget initial, mais c'est l'outil qu'il me fallait pour travailler dans de bonnes conditions.

Compré este monitor porqué trabajo a menudo desde casa y en la ofi normalmente tengo dos monitores. En este sentido cumple su funcion perfectamente. Luego me enteré que tambien lleva 75 HZ que son muy buenos tambien para los que utilizan el monitor para juegos y ademas es G-Sync compatible (mi tarjeta video es una GTX 1070TI, que por suerte es G-Sync compatible)... y la verdad es que se nota mucho y se ve superbien! Lo compré en oferta a 343 y por este precio es el top!
