WQHD Image Quality
With a screen resolution of 3440×1440 pixels—approximately 2.4 times the density of Full HD—the SJ55W delivers razor-sharp images. And with more pixels to display content, you can view more of your webpages and documents at once without scrolling or zooming out.
Seamless Multi-tasking
With its 34” ultra-wide screen and 21:9 WQHD resolution, the SJ55W provides all the workspace you need to comfortably multi-task on a single screen. Whether you’re working on documents, playing games, or watching movies, you’ll enjoy all your content in superbly detailed WQHD quality.
PBP and PIP
Picture-by-Picture (PBP) function displays input from two sources side-by-side at their native resolution. Optimize your multi-tasking further with Picture-in-Picture (PIP), which lets you resize the second source to up to 25% of the screen and position it anywhere.
Smoother Gameplay
AMD FreeSync synchronizes the refresh rate of your graphics card and monitor to reduce image tear and stutter. Low Input Lag Mode minimizes the delay between mouse, keyboard, or joystick input and onscreen response for a seamlessly smooth gaming experience.
Stylish and Practical
The SJ55W’s slim panel, elegant Y-stand, and metallic bezel bring quality and style to your workplace or home. The VESA-compatible mount allows precision positioning while DP and HDMI ports offer multiple connectivity options, making the SJ55W as practical as it is stylish.

This is a beautiful monitor: both physically, and the display. It’s packaged well, arrived undamaged, and easy to set up. Despite its size, it’s relatively light and easy to move around. It can be used with the included stand, or mounted via 4 holes on the back. I plugged in my laptop, and it displayed the screen immediately. The ‘JOG’ button (a joystick-like button on the back of the monitor) is intuitive to use if you need to change settings, and helps to maintain the clean lines of the monitor. This display can easily replace a 2-monitor setup, as it’s so wide that you can put windows (applications, spreadsheets, etc.) side-by-side and easily see everything at once. It has a picture-in-picture and picture by picture function that will display 2 different sources at the same time (there are 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort). It also has lots of picture customization options, including eco options and ‘Samsung Magic’ upscaling that enhances the details of the picture. This appears to sharpen and possibly slightly change the contrast. I didn’t like the effect when used for the type of work I do, but perhaps it would be something some would enjoy for certain applications. Overall, this is a fantastic monitor, with a beautiful picture and enormous size.

The 34″ Samsung SJ55W Ultra WQHD Monitor will be an awesome addition to your office or home. This ultra wide QHD monitor has the 3 C’s covered – color, clarity , and contrast. The whites are whiter and the brights are brighter. I am a gamer by night and a mechanical engineer by day. The best feature in my opinion is the picture-by-picture (PBP) function. I enjoyed playing a video game while getting my binge on.PBP should not be confused with PIP – Picture-in-Picture. The SJ55W also has PIP. I used this feature to view the latest financial news while maximizing my onscreen work space. I have a multi-monitor set up in my office cubicle. I would trade my 7 smaller monitors for just two of these powerhouses. The monitor is light and easy to set up. You can use the included base or utilize the VESA mount with your choice of monitor stands (sold separately). I love this #SamsungUltrawideMonitor. I will continue to enjoy the #SamsungMonitorExperience in my home and office.

I am thrilled with the quality and detail of the screen! The extra screen real estate is amazing and allows for much easier use of Photoshop and I can open windows side by side for easy reference between apps or I can keep my playlist open will still working in my primary app. Using video editing software and being able to drag and drop my media directly from a folder into the project has streamlined my work space. The experience while watching movies isn’t as beneficial as the enhancements for software as it doesn’t fill the entire screen but it doesn’t distract me and the image quality is sharp and precise while the colors are clean and accurate with no color banding issues. If you are a gamer, this thing will blow your socks off. The extra screen real estate really gives a cinematic feel to gaming that has to be experienced to truly understand. After playing on this monitor and going back to a 16:9 monitor makes it almost claustrophobic in feel, almost like I was missing something. Again, the colors and detail were sharp and precise. You may need to upgrade your video card to support full resolution gaming with good frame rate at high detail but you wont want to sell yourself short by cutting back on the settings so you can see the true benefits of the display. Did I mention that this thing is huge? The box was so big that my daughter though I bought a TV and it dominates my desk space and steals the show from everything else in the area. I ran some diagnostic software called monitor test to push this beast through its paces. It passed the light bleed test without any issues. There was no noticeable light bleed which I was worried about with such a large display but the lighting was consistent throughout the display. Solid colors looked even and balanced but during the gradation test it did have some banding but it is much better than on other monitors I have tested. The moire test was spot on even at the finest setting. the patterns were all clear and didn’t blur or bleed into each other.During the convergence testing there was no color bleed or ghosting and there was a sharp contrast between light and dark. Text was very clear and sharp even at 6 point Arial font and was easy to read. Overall, I am very pleased with this monitor. I have been looking for a monitor of this caliber at a reasonable price point. I would recommend this especially to art and video creators.

So far, I am enjoying my new Samsung Ultra Wide monitor. For someone who currently has either a single or dual monitor setup this is the ideal solution. You are able to get more real estate, without the bevel that obstructs your view in the middle. The colors are excellent and you have the option to change the display to eye saver mode, which reduces the blues and helps eliminate eye strain when spending a lot of time in front of the monitor. Playing games with this monitor has been a nice improvement. Previously, I had a 3 monitor setup, where many games would only display on the center monitor, eliminating the other 2 in the process. The rich colors and response times were outstanding with significantly better contrast (3000:1) to my previous setup. I also found multitasking improved. Using the windows key to easily snap windows to the left and right sides of the screen made it easy to have 2 windows, fully expanded on the left and right of the screen. Resizing those windows was also easy, enabling me to have one application take up 2/3 of the screen while the other application took up the remaining 1/3rd of the screen. The P-in-P feature was nice too. I have a desktop which is my primary machine, and a laptop for work. The laptop is on a docking station, and I can now hook it up to the same monitor and use the picture in picture feature to see both. Overall, this was a nice improvement to what I was using. It has cleaned up the look of my desk, while still giving me plenty of desktop space to work, and play, with the size of this setup.

Ok, I’m 45 and a programmer and I’m telling you I have never freaked out this much since my 20’s. I could not stop swearing and freaking out about how awesome this is for programming. I rotated it 270 degrees (Command Option Click Display) and then moved the windows around. This thing is a GAME changer for programming. I can see several HUNDRED lines of code without paging down. Seriously you have to get one of these! I have a 2018 Macbook Pro which can handle this monitor PLUS another 34″ Samsung Curved monitor that has 1440 x 3440. So my set up is now: 2880 x 1800 Built in plus 3440 x 1440 (This one) plus 1440 x 3440 34″ Curved. WOW!

I can finally say that I’ve found a monitor that’s perfect for my job as a web developer. I’ve used several different external monitors with my laptop, but all except this 34” Samsung SJ55W ultra-wide have missed the mark in some way. Normal 1080p monitors just couldn’t show enough on the screen, causing me to continually flip back and forth between applications. 4K monitors were super-crisp and high resolution, but the font sizes were too small to comfortably read. This Samsung’s wide screen and 3440×1440 resolution is just right and has no problem displaying my code editor and a couple of terminals and browsers on the screen at the same time.Another thing I love about this monitor is its non-reflective screen. My desk at work is directly next to a big window, and this caused big problems in the past with major glare on other monitors that had glossy panels. I’ve never had any trouble seeing my work on this Samsung’s screen, even in bright daylight.The monitor offers other features like the ability to display two video inputs/sources at the same time (side-by-side or picture-in-picture) and FreeSync capability, but I’ve yet to try them. The 75Hz refresh rate is a little higher than the 60Hz most other monitors have, and combined with it’s speedy 4ms response time, this would also make a nice gaming monitor.Overall, I’m extremely pleased with using this monitor on a daily basis at work. I’ve spent a solid month with it now and can’t imagine going back to a different monitor. My productivity has really increased now that I’m able to keep all my important applications visible at the same time. Thanks to Samsung for such a great monitor!

2019 is a year that brings the future into reality. In Today’s world it is often to see people using their TV as a computer. Why you ask? well The market is flooded with the same old boring monitors year after year. But remember its 2019! Samsung brings us yet another amazing unique product. World meet the all new Samsung ultra wide WQHD Monitor. Yes it has the Specs you cant live without. Game mode and AMD free-sync with a 4ms Response Time. A crystal clear and razor sharp wide viewing angle. A stunning resolution of 3440x1440p. A bright 300cd/m2 vivid screen with mega DCR AND 16.7 Million color support. But where this screen really starts to wow and pull away from other monitors is the 34in WQHD screen. The ultra wide Samsung has a whopping 21:9 ultra wide aspect ratio. Allowing you a mind bending dual monitor mode using only one screen. With 2 HDMI ports and PBP and PIP mode. This means you get a true multi tasking experience. Allowing you to experience two sources at once. With the ultra wide its literally two screens in one. You can split the screen fifty fifty or reduce one source down to 25%. Still leaving you with plenty of screen to enjoy your other applications. At this point I Have to advise anyone wanting a amazing multi tasking monitor to buy one. Just think You can Run your business or work your spreadsheets. You can easily Master School work or Game with the best of them. Enjoy Watching your favorite movies or social media. Honestly it really doesn’t matter what you need to do on your computer. Samsung ultra wide will help you do more. This monitor performs and excels at everything you need to do on a screen. I know I’m extremely happy to use one. I truly believe if you buy one you will be also. All I can say is Thank you Samsung for yet another amazing product.

Stunning quality. I use mine for my computer and in the evening I use it with my Apple TV when watching TV or a movie in bed. Every app on Apple TV plays full screen, movies on iTunes play with a black bar at top and the bottom. I was careful taking mine out of the box, my screen has a tiny tiny so tiny you barely can see mark on the exterior of the screen. Lower right hand corner, Too much trouble to return, it almost looks like it was dinged with the head of a needle that’s how tiny the mark is so look yours over. It’s such a beautiful monitor very sad Samsung’s quality didn’t catch it. Other reviews are advising damaged monitors so this is clearly a Samsung issue. I hear it’s a horrible nightmare to get it replaced by Samsung so look yours over before deciding to keep it.

I use this monitor mostly for boring office work—Word docs, Excel sheets, long PDFs—so take this with a grain of salt, but for that purpose, the contrast is more than sufficient and the colors are rich enough. The monitor is bright enough to hold up to the abundance of natural lighting coming through my second-floor south-facing home office. The ultrawide format comes in handy more often than I expected it to… now I find myself annoyed whenever I’m on a more square monitor and am not able to look at three big documents side-by-side.I can’t speak to things like the refresh rates or how well the color/contrast holds up to like, HDR movies and games, but it’s an excellent value for office work.
