You have to take note of the Samsung LC34G55T’s size since it requires a bit of depth from your desk. It requires almost a foot when assembled, and it’s almost 32 inches wide even if its curve is more pronounced. It’s not as heavy as monitors like the Gigabyte G34WQC, but it still isn’t portable since it’s bigger than your usual office display. What differentiates this model from the majority, however, is the fact that it has a more aggressively 1000R curved VA panel. Image Quality Next, the Samsung C34G55T supports AMD FreeSync with a 60-165Hz VRR (variable refresh rate) range over DisplayPort. This technology allows the monitor to change its refresh rate according to GPU’s frame rate thus preventing screen tearing at basically no input lag penalty up to 165FPS.

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. On this 34″ ultrawide monitor, the 1000R curvature is not that much different than 1500R, so it won’t be an issue for most people. In fact, it helps with the immersion and reduces the issues caused by narrow viewing angles of the VA panel technology. Price & Similar MonitorsOf 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. 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. Effortlessly smooth gameplay. AMD FreeSync Premium features adaptive sync technology which reduces screen tearing, stutter and input latency. Low frame rate compensation ensures every scene flows seamlessly.

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.’ Vivid scenes wrap around you. The all-encompassing 1000R display fills every part of your peripheral vision and draws you right into the character's shoes. Experience a level of gaming more heart-pounding than anything before. 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. Additionally, there are plenty of movies shot at the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which looks amazing on 21:9 monitors. The Samsung LC34G55T produces 99% sRGB and around 77% DCI-P3 which isn’t the best, but sufficiently good for gaming and daily use. The monitor’s default tuning is goo as well since the deltaE average is limited to 1.41. there is a very slight bluish tint on the screen, but it won’t be an issue for most users unless they do some editing work.The extra horizontal screen space makes the monitor particularly great for spreadsheets and audio/video editing. 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. The Samsung LC34G55T’s build quality is decent even if it uses a lot of plastic due to its budget-oriented nature. The chassis itself looks refined and durable, but we can’t say that the stand is the same. It has a slight wobble and it’s quite stiff to tilt upward, so some users might want to use VESA mounts instead. There’s another 34″ 3440×1440 165Hz ultrawide monitor with 1000R screen curvature available, the MSI Artymis 343CQR.
