Samsung - 34" ViewFinity S65TC Ultra-WQHD 100Hz AMD FreeSync™ HDR10 Curved Monitor with Thunderbolt™ 4 and Built-in Speakers

I have a Samsung 34” S65TC UWQHD monitor at home, and find it’s perfect for reading spreadsheets and working from home. I particularly like that you can have three screens up at once all ‘snapped’ next to each other. Is this one you’ve considered?

I went down the same rabbit hole a few months back, looking for something I could game on and do 3D work on my windows pc, and everything else on my Macbook. I wanted usb for my logitech bolt devices and my DAC. I REALLY wish there were more options, because there's nothing that fully fits the bill right now. I ended up compromising by taking the hit on refresh rate and getting the Samsung S65tc. Overall it's a great monitor, and a bonus was its side by side PIP mode.

Good reply. My employer got me a Samsung viewfinity 34"/100hz /VA QHD monitor, which honestly is pretty sweet for both. 60 hz is the minimum for gaming in general, but 120 hz is generally considered minimum for FPS games. Your point about spending more money for the novelty of having it in one panel: the viewfinity is a 3440x1440, it's about $250. Getting two of these gives more screen space and is about half the price of a DQHD monitor. I'm currently running this monitor side by side with my personal FHD LG 34" monitor and it's a pretty nice setup. So I'd opt for two Viewfinity monitors if I was footing the bill for productivity purposes ONLY. OP is just lucky he gets a say with his ulterior motive of gaming. I've also had temporary burn in on my separate IPS monitor from excel, lol.... Excel rows and columns were burned in until I restarted the monitor. This was on an LG Ultragear 32" IPS panel. Just reiterating that burn in/OLED is not something to risk on a productivity monitor.

We have sweet Samsung curved monitors. They’re huge and display multiple things at once. I can get the NSN tomorrow if you’re interested.

Ah ok. I know they are 34” but not sure if they bought them on GSA or not. I’ll do some digging tomorrow and get back to you.

I use a 34" curved Samsung monitor 3440x1440 plugged into my mac mini m4 with no issues whatsoever. I have a thunderbolt to displayport cable. I actually have it going to 2 monitors. The second monitor is just a 1080p monitor (I don't always have it on, just when I need some extra space), and again a thunderbolt to displayport cable. No issues whatsoever.

I’ve got a Samsung 34” unltrawide and I run both an intlem Mac Pro 2019 and an M1 MBP on it and they both look fantastic, nice and sharp & no issues.

You will not regret an UW. Get it.

I have two monitors; lower is a Dell Canvas 27 at 2560x1440 (16:9) and top is 3440x1440 Samsung (21:9 UWQHD). It allows for tons of Adobe side-menu space, which is actually more useful than timeline work.

Any Samsung panel will be a good one TBH. Mine is from a few years ago, so I am sure a newer better model exists at this time.

Yep! Similar to mine; may even BE mine.

I just set up my M4 mini with an ultra wide Samsung 34” with the same resolution you are considering. I love it. It’s great for spreadsheets and for Logic and for what I need it for. However, it doesn’t save much desk space. I actually had more desk space with dual monitors mounted on arms that I could swing away if needed.

Was that the Samsung one? It was only 3440 x 1440 resolution.

Id vote samsung, 1000r is awesome and I trust them more then asus.

I recently went through this when upgrading my screen about 6 months ago. Do I want an ultrawide? Absolutely. Would I design on an ultrawide? No I would not. Most ultrawides have too aggressive of a curve to be suitable for design work in my opinion. If it's a mild curve >1500R it might be okay. I tried experimenting with a 1000R Samsung and just couldn't hang with the amount of distortion. I ended up getting a non curved 32" 16:9 4K instead. It's right at the edge of what I consider comfortable as far as seeing the far edges of the display. I do absolutely love the increased real estate of using a smaller GUI scaling.
