Just what I needed. Not a great stand compared to other product I have but fair enough. Screen is just perfect for what I need
I use it for work and usually have three side by side app windows. Works great and the image is good.
I bought this to use as both an additional monitor for work and as screen for watching online streams. Picture quality is awesome and is an excellent screen for software programs for getting a wider view for those big spreadsheets and working on photoshop.
The monitor itself is exactly what I was look looking for to team up with a Mac Mini Pro. The downside is the stand. There’s no adjustment and the support is so flimsy it wobbles when I type. Not a deal breaker, but I expected something that wasn’t made out of egg boxes!
One plus is that I can plug a pair of cans in the back,or indeed, to a speaker set up ( requires an amp ) and hear say YT as a separate sound source, this is selected by the speaker icon (bottom right ( in windows)) which allows me to listen to either TV mode or Studio mode … if that makes sense. I read that the stand is flimsy .. well if you’ve got it perched on a wobbly surface then I guess the monitor would shake but for me it’s fine and no worse that any other sand at this price point .. which brings me to my final bit of this review … As a wide screen monitor, given the added real estate you get from 3440 x 1400 resolution screen and (not mentioned here ) 75 Htz refresh rate, only on HDMI 2, (great for gaming I’m told), this bit of kit is a no brainer for the money … and it took me an age of research to make my choice. If you move up from dual monitors, as I did, this is a clean less cable move creating a nicer environment. So there are draw backs that could be resolved by a higher spend but hey! it is what it is ….. All it needs is to be reliable .. I’ll check back if it’s not …
It is a great size and ok for graphics. This is my standard screen. I have a better screen. I use both. For the price it is amazing. I paid 200 it is really worth it.
This is HUGE! In comparison and dwarfs the other superwide.
Simple set up and includes 1m lead.
Crisp blacks and colours (set the res to 3440 x 1440 in game and its wow!) and it certainly has presence.
Haven’t used stand or used speakers, but am more than pleased at what this has.
For circa 250 quid it is a bargain and you would struggle to get 2 monitors and a stand for that price. I have it mounted on a stick deskount arm due to size and it is great. Cannot comment on the basic stand as I did not use it.
If you are considering this don’t hesitate.
The screen is fine for basic use, wouldn’t recommend for gaming as such, I have this as my centre screen in a triple monitor set up and works well for my use case. Colours are a little bit off but depends on how you calibrAte them. Fair overall value and build quality
I have had this monitor for over a year now, and it has never let me down. The colours have been fine tuned to match my other 3 monitors using Datacolour’s SpiderexElite, and it gives me exactly what I need for work productivity and advanced photo and video editing. I have all of my monitors on gas lift arms anyway, because let’s face it, most monitor stands aren’t great and you have better flexibility with adjustable monitor arms.
If you are on a budget, or even if you are not and wish to enter the world of ultrawide monitors, you can’t really go wrong with this one. Refresh rate is 60Hz if using HDMI, but if you use the Display Port, you get 75Hz.
All in all, I am really pleased with it!
I bought this to replace two aging 1080p monitors. It takes up much less space but has more work area. The screen is clear and bright when used for work and gaming.
In retrospect, I would probably have bought the curved version – although this one was a very good price on sale.
It states it has AMD freesync but when you turn this mode on it also supports Nvidia G-Sync so you should be ok whichever GPU brand you go for. It removes all stuttering and lines going across the screen when playing games with this mode on. The monitor is very bright, and the colours look great.
My only complaint would be that the stand takes up quite a bit of desk space, so I bought some desk mounted arms to reduce this as I like a lot of space on my desk.
I was looking for the best value for money vertical monitor for my 4K setup, and I’ve found it.
It’s not as big as the 4K 40″ one it replaced, but it’s indeed a more convenient size.
Picture Quality is perfect, can’t ask for more for a secondary monitor.
If you want this as a main monitor, I suggest you go for traditional 16:9, and specifically 4K 40″ as there’s no better ratio for posture & productivity.
I was looking for a monitor to replace my 5 year old acer 24 inch monitor & reviewed few different options for a while. This monitor had mixed reviews and was bit reluctant but made a good choice. This is a great balance of quality, price and functional monitor. I have not used 4K or bigger monitors before but this one is perfect for working from home and when multitasking. The delivery was prompt as usual Amazon efficiency and the setup was easy straightforward. I am using with MacBook Pro 16 2020, and bought Display Port to USB-C cable from Amazon to connect. Overall happy with this monitor for regular use.
It is very nice. My only thing is that for working, it is almost too big and having some curvature would have been helpful as it strains my eyes looking at text on the sides of the screen.
Great monitor, image quality is top quality. I like the ability to have an excel spreadsheet open on one half of the screen, and still have room to have another document open and visible at the same time in the other half. It has both HDMI and Display Port inputs, which gives you good flexibility.
One possible downside, the on/off button is on the back of the monitor in the bottom right hand side (as you are facing the front). If you had the right hand side of the monitor up against a wall for example, you may find it difficult to reach around the side and use the button, so you will need to think about where you place this monitor, as there is no other way to turn it on/off. I guess you can reach from underneath, but it’s a bit fiddly.
That said, I played Half-Life 2 for the firts time in years, and it looks brilliant to me, but that’s probably my age.
really excellent value I would say

It is quite heavy so bear that in mind when selecting monitor arms, but is a great buy.
I also like the feature of having the ability to “split-screen” over two different inputs. Makes doing projects with something like a raspberry pi much easier.
10/10 would recommend
Note – has no built in speaker (not clearly stated in add) – and is misleading because of the audio port on the monitor where you can plug in headphones.
colour wise is not as good as an IPS panel, and coming from IPS panel, I initially found this monitor colours a bit washed out – however in time the eyes get used to it, and it’s okay.
Given this is a popular monitor, I recommend searching online for a colour profile (found some on reddit, that had the colour profile file, and raw monitor values for brightness, contrast etc) – once I used that (obviously won’t be 100% due to manufacturing differences) the monitor came alive so to say.
Picture quality is good. However mine had a dead pixel that was pretty obvious with darker images. It also only refreshes at 50Hz so is barely even usable for gaming.
Edit: I was using a hub that didn’t have the bandwidth to support this resolution at higher than 50Hz; it was not the fault of the monito
Initially you have to calibrate the colours but it takes 15 mins and you are ready to go.
Unlike some comments the screen does swivel on the base (read the manual).
The control buttons on the back are like other Samsung tech – I had no problems with that. Cheap price – high quality – great purchase.
