    Solid Monitor w/out a Height Adjustable Stand

    I use it for work and the standard internet browsing, like watching YouTube in 2k and 4k. Nothing fancy like hardcore PC gaming or video editing or anything that, so it's a solid monitor. However, my ONLY complaint about this monitor is the lack of a height adjustable stand. Without it, it's such an annoying inconvenience. I have a lot of regrets about it, but returning is incur a return fee from Best Buy, so I didn't. I don't why companies, let alone a reputable one like Samsung would sell a computer monitor without the stand because it's inexpensive additional cost considering their ginormous volume.

    Samsung ViewFinity S5 Monitor Review While I can't speak to the long-term use of the Samsung ViewFinity S5 monitor, my brief experience with it was very positive. Samsung is known for its quality products [Trusted Source: [invalid URL removed]], and this monitor seemed to live up to that reputation. Great for Work The large 34-inch screen was amazing for multitasking. I was easily able to organize and view multiple windows at once, which made working on instructional videos a breeze. The high refresh rate also made everything look smooth and fluid. A Gamer's Dream As a gamer, I was particularly intrigued by the monitor's specs and disappointed I wasn't able to test it out for gaming. The 100Hz refresh rate and large screen seem ideal for an immersive gaming experience. Difficult Decision Unfortunately, due to an unexpected job change, I had to return the monitor. While I only used it for a short time, parting ways with it was difficult. Overall, I was very impressed and would definitely consider buying this monitor again in the future, especially if I land a remote job that requires a lot of multitasking.

    Here's a sample review forI recently purchased this for my Mac mini, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The first thing that impressed me was the display quality. With a high resolution and excellent color accuracy, this monitor brings everything to life, whether I’m working on graphic design projects or just enjoying a movie. The refresh rate is perfect for gaming, providing smooth visuals and almost no motion blur, which is a huge plus for fast-paced games.

    I bought this for my fiancé for xmas and he loves it! The only issue is, is that it doesn’t have speakers, I think? We’ve tried to figure it out but didn’t want to waste our time lol otherwise the quality in comparison to my wide LG monitor is way better! Might buy one for myself!

    Best Monitor for Multitasking

    This screen is massive. I purchased this for my father for Christmas. He is a Realtor and owns his own PM company. He says this monitor makes it way easier to multitask, and refer to invoices to enter them into the system without having to flip back and forth. He also mentioned that the graphics were pretty insane.

    I bought this as a gift for my wife and she loves it. She installed it in her craft room to replace two old dual monitors as a single widescreen and prefers this. Her primary use case is watching shows/movies, adobe lightroom and browsing. This works well for basic use cases.

    Samsung wide monitor was easy to setup and it has a awesome view. My only complaint is that the Monitor doesn't come with speakers. Besides that the monitor is clear and the refresh rate is fast. Awesome recommendation from the Best buy sales person.

    Great monitor and easy to setup and use. Love the size! Sometimes there seems to be some flickering when using fullscreen and it's a single dark color (like black or dark blue background). Thought I would use the side-by-side option more but the scaling is weird and not super useful.

    Great ultrawide monitor. Replaced 2 27" monitors with this ultrawide screen. Images are crisp and bright. Some scaling required do to the high resolution, but this is normal for high resolution monitors. Very happy so far.

    I'd used a smaller traditional form factor UHD monitor and switched to this ultrawide format. I'm happy with the change since it allows me to keep multiple apps open side-by-side. The other consideration is that my webcam rides on the top of my monitor, so if I'd just gone with a larger traditional monitor, then the camera would be awkwardly high. The quality of this monitor seems good. I have it mounted to a pre-existing VESA arm so the base doesn't take up any of my desktop space. The blocks on this monitor seem a little less black than my prior UHD monitor but it's acceptable, especially given the good price. I have no plans for gaming so I can't comment on things like refresh rates. It seems a little bit challenged to wake up when I plug my Macbook into the Displayport, but I can't be sure that's not a mac problem.

    I recently purchased the Samsung Monitor to extend my Mac display, and overall, it has proven to be a great addition to my setup. The initial draw was undoubtedly the attractive price point, making it a budget-friendly option for those looking to expand their screen real estate without breaking the bank. Upon setting up the monitor, I encountered a minor hiccup in getting the Mac to extend the display seamlessly. Finding the right resolution initially proved to be a bit of a challenge, and I had to experiment with various settings to achieve the desired result. This could potentially be a point of frustration for users less familiar with display configurations, but with a bit of patience and trial and error, I was able to get it working smoothly. Once past the resolution hurdle, the Samsung Monitor truly shines. The display quality is impressive, with vibrant colors and sharp details that enhance the overall viewing experience. Whether I'm working on graphic design projects, watching videos, or simply multitasking with multiple windows open, the extended display provides ample space and clarity. The monitor's sleek design and slim profile contribute to a clean and modern aesthetic, seamlessly blending into my workspace. The build quality is sturdy, and the thin bezels add a touch of elegance to the overall look. Connectivity options are plentiful, offering versatility for various devices. The inclusion of HDMI and other ports ensures compatibility with a range of devices beyond just my Mac, making it a versatile addition to my setup. In conclusion, despite the initial challenge of finding the optimal resolution for Mac display extension, the Samsung Monitor has proven to be a great investment. Considering its affordable price, impressive display quality, and versatile connectivity, it stands out as a reliable and budget-friendly choice for users seeking to expand their workspace without compromising on performance.

    10/10 this monitor is just what I needed and fills the whole of my desk without feeling overwhelming! Remember you need speakers for this monitor since it doesn’t come with some. I used creative pebbles and they sound great!

    I am so happy with my new Samsung Monitor. I only buy Samsung for my TVs and Monitors as they have the best picture quality. The only thing is, I thought it was a curved screen and when it arrived I noticed it wasn't. No biggie. I was checking out many monitors and just didn't notice it wasn't curved. I love how big it is. I use Zoom for testing sessions with students and this allows me to have my Zoom and another window open, where I was using my TV and a laptop to conduct sessions online. I love the fact I only need 1 device for both!! The picture is sharp and wonderful. I highly recommend this monitor. I also love the fact that it has 2 HDMI ports on the back, excellent! Easy Plug-and-Play set-up.

    I bought this monitor to hook up to my work laptop and use as an extension and it has made my job 10x easier. I pull permits for a very busy basement waterproofing/construction company and, consequently, have 600 internet tabs open at once. This monitor has been absolutely perfect for that, though there are a few things to consider. Firstly, it isn't curved. I don't have an issue with this for what I use it for, though if I were using this as a gaming/video editing monitor, I could see how a curve at 34" would be nice to have, especially if you're sitting closer to it. It's just big enough were a curve would be nice in certain situations. Secondly, this monitor does not have speakers. It does have a headphones jack and it's own separate volume control. Overall, great product for the price.

    Great picture quality on this 34” monitor, The Viewfinity S5 caters to productivity and multitasking minded buyer. This means that while display is not in 4K, the Viewfinity S5 comes with Picture in Picture (PIP) and picture by picture (PBP) which refer to dual video sources, displayed side by side and with one overlayed over the the other respectively. My only critique of the Viewfinity S5 would be height. Its a bit more of a challenge probably just preference, is the monitors height. I keep coming back to the idea of two of these monitors mounted vertically stacked, to produce an almost 4:3 display.
