About this deal

The extra horizontal screen space makes the monitor particularly great for spreadsheets and audio/video editing.

All VA panels have some gamma/saturation shifts. Basically, a certain shade of red, for instance, can appear slightly different in the center of the screen and in a corner of the screen, depending on the angle you’re looking at the screen. There’s another 34″ 3440×1440 165Hz ultrawide monitor with 1000R screen curvature available, the MSI Artymis 343CQR. Moving on, the Samsung C34G55T has a specified peak brightness of 250-nits, which is plenty under normal lighting conditions. The display also gets a bit brighter, up to 300 – 350-nits, depending on the unit. These minor shifts are not an issue for everyday use or even basic content creation, but when it comes to professional color-critical work, it’s a different story.Visit our comprehensive and always up-to-date best gaming monitor buyer’s guide for more information. Conclusion Samsung’s 1000R curved monitors have received mixed responses from users. Some hate it, others love it, and then there are those who just get used to it. I just want to know what the difference is between to two to justify the price difference, ignoring the sale price.

On top of that, there’s no IPS glow, making the viewing experience all the better, especially in dark or dim-lit rooms where the high contrast ratio can really bring out the details in the shadows of the image.While the monitor is not certified by NVIDIA as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’, you can manually enable it if you have a compatible GeForce graphics card. Note that variable refresh rate is only supported over DisplayPort on this monitor. Additionally, there are plenty of movies shot at the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which looks amazing on 21:9 monitors. Of course, IPS displays have their advantages too, such as wider viewing angles, more consistent colors and usually faster pixel response time speed. The design of the Samsung C34G55T consists of ultra-thin bezels at the top and bottom, a matte anti-glare screen coating that prevents reflections, tilt-only (-2°/18°) stand and 75x75mm VESA mount compatibility.

Some competitive games, like Overwatch and StarCraft, however, don’t allow ultrawide resolutions as the extended field of view is considered as an unfair advantage. What differentiates this model from the majority, however, is the fact that it has a more aggressively 1000R curved VA panel. Image Quality There are three response time overdrive modes: Standard, Faster and Fastest. At 165Hz, we recommend the ‘Fastest’ mode as it’s most efficient at eliminating ghosting artifacts. You can also use this mode at 60Hz, though some overshoot will become noticeable – in case it bothers you, dial the response time setting down to ‘Faster.’ In real use, the amount of smearing or ghosting will be tolerable or even negligible to most gamers, unless you’re extremely sensitive to it. If you mainly play fast-paced competitive games, you should be looking at a monitor with a higher refresh rate anyway. Most newer games support the 21:9 format natively, and there are plenty of free mods available that can make unsupported games handle the ultrawide resolutions better.

Terms & Conditions

The only difference I can see listed is one says WQHD and the other QHD. But they are the same size and have the same resolution! MBR also reduces the monitor’s maximum brightness when enabled. To activate it, set the response time option to ‘Fastest (MBR).’ It only works at a fixed refresh rate of 165Hz, so unless you can keep constant 165FPS, some image duplication will be noticeable, but motion will appear smoother overall.
