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.

The Samsung LC34G55T also doesn’t have speakers which you can use as a secondary for purposes other than gaming. But this omission is ok since immersive gaming monitors like this demand the use of headsets or surround speakers to achieve the full effect. Display and Performance Of course, IPS displays have their advantages too, such as wider viewing angles, more consistent colors and usually faster pixel response time speed. 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. 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. 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.

Product Reviews

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 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.’

Boundary pushing graphics. Ultra-WQHD gives you a vast encompassing view of your game world, with true lifelike detail. The sheer size delivers pure immersion — eliminating the distracting middle bezel and messy cables of a dual monitor setup.

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. When it comes to pixel response time performance, the Samsung C34G55T is similar to most VA panel displays. Sadly, this means that there’s some noticeable smearing behind fast-moving objects, especially in darker scenes since pixels take longer to change from dark into bright pixels. Additionally, there are plenty of movies shot at the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which looks amazing on 21:9 monitors. There’s another 34″ 3440×1440 165Hz ultrawide monitor with 1000R screen curvature available, the MSI Artymis 343CQR.

Conclusion 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. 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. 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.
