An ultra-wide monitor provides an ideal user experience with its large surface area making all the difference. Whether it’s to use video editing software, create a streaming setup, or work window-to-window browsing without getting tangled up, an ultra-wide PC screen is a good choice, and models are becoming more affordable. This is especially the case with this Samsung monitor, whose price ranges from 379 euros to 209.99 euros on Cdiscount.
Around 200 euros for a 34-inch widescreen PC screen, it’s not every day you see that! It may be time to make room on your desk to house this Samsung monitor, dedicated mainly to office automation, but which is also comfortable for gaming. To take advantage of it, it is at Cdiscount that it happens. Thanks to a promotion and a cashback offer, the Samsung LS34J550WQRXEN is 170 euros cheaper.

A big screen for a small price
This ultra-wide screen from Samsung is a 34-inch diagonal panel, or 86 cm for metric fans, in UWQHD resolution (3,440 x 1,440 pixels). The display technology is VA, which emphasizes contrast and deep blacks like OLED, and this is borne out by an advertised 3000:1 contrast ratio. But this display quality comes at the expense of the refresh rate, which here is just 75 Hz.
As for ergonomics, this screen is only tiltable up and down, while others are height adjustable and swivel. It is also compatible with the VESA 100 x 100mm standard. On the back you will find a kind of joystick that acts as an on / off button, but also allows you to adjust the settings for brightness, contrast, sharpness or change the source and mode.
For office and (a little) games
The connectivity of the Samsung LS34J550WQRXEN includes two HDMI ports, a Display 1.2 port and a 3.5mm jack port. It’s not much, but it’s enough to transfer a lot of multimedia content. With Picture-by-Picture, you can view two different sources in their native resolution and easily navigate between them thanks to the monitor’s widescreen format. Convenient to go from one document to another, for example, during a work meeting.
If you mainly do office work, this PC screen also has a gaming touch with AMD FreeSync included. Your screen will adapt to the performance of your graphics card, but it won’t exceed a 75Hz refresh rate. Highly jittery or multiplayer games like Call of Duty are therefore not the best choice for this monitor. On the other hand, the 4 ms response time should not be a nuisance during your games.
