34-inch ultra-wide curved premium Samsung monitor for computer - review and reviews

For users who require the highest picture quality and a screen that fills the entire field of view, the famous South Korean company has released an ultra-wide curved premium monitor. The full name of the model UltraWide Samsung S34E790C, and it boasts a giant 34-inch diagonal.

Like most advanced computer innovations, this appearance and characteristics are largely due to computer games. After all, a gamer is very important for a maximum review of the virtual world, as well as a sense of complete immersion in the process. Most of the latest games use the "HOR +" technology - this means that the larger the screen width, the more pictures on it fit, without changing its height - ie, there is an additional side view. Therefore, the aspect ratio of the monitors becomes 21: 9. The 34-inch curved monitor from Samsung not only meets this requirement, but also gives the user a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, which provides unprecedented image quality.

Characteristics

In addition to the already listed parameters, this model boasts an LCD panel with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which reduces flicker, improves screen comfort and safety for eyesight. The technology of "Vertical Alignment" provides saturation and clarity of colors from different angles of view, the maximum value of which in vertical and horizontal lines is equal to 178 degrees.

Response time - only 4 ms, typical brightness 300 cd / m², display of 16.7 million colors is supported.

Curved monitor Samsung has two speakers of 7 watts each.

The list of ports is pretty standard, but still satisfies almost all possible user requests: 1 DisplayPort for connecting the monitor itself; 4 USB connectors; 2 HDMI ports, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack and, of course, a plug for the power cord from the network.

Appearance

The curved Samsung monitor impresses from an aesthetic point of view. It is striking in its size - 82.15 x 36.4 x 5.15 cm, slightly opaque (as is sometimes said - "semi-gloss") surface, which helps to maintain a relatively high level of clarity compared to fully matt screens, while preventing the appearance Highlights.

The curve of the model is very smooth and small. Another noteworthy aspect is a laconic frame in the form of glossy black plastic stripes. They are quite thin - only 11 mm from the top and sides and 13 mm at the bottom.

Solid base

The T-shaped stand in its form repeats the curvature of the monitor. It imitates metal (made of silvery plastic in fact) and fairly large: 53.5 cm wide and 25.5 cm high. It is possible to adjust the angle and height of the screen.

The stand has a considerable load, because the curved monitor weighs 7.4 kg. At the same time, she copes well with her: the screen slightly shaky, if you push the table, but when typing on the keyboard, it remains motionless. Weight of complete set - 9,9 kg, together with packing - 14,4 kg.

It is noteworthy that unlike the stand, on the sides of the screen the manufacturer made a frame of metal stripes.

There is a small power LED on the right side of the bottom panel. By default, it lights up in blue when the monitor is in the standby mode and does not light when the monitor is on, so as not to distract the user. You can change these settings in the on-screen menu.

but on the other hand

The back of the monitor is decorated with black plastic with a metallic texture.

The stand is held on a standard VESA mount 100 x 100 mm, so removing it, you can mount the monitor on the wall. All ports are assembled to the right of the stand, slightly further from the bend of the screen.

At the base of the stand there are holes to gently draw and hide the wires.

Two speakers are located next to the ventilation holes, they can be seen only if you look at the monitor from the bottom. This part of the body is decorated with glossy plastic. The speakers are loud enough and clear, of course, full-length speakers they will not replace, but still their quality is much higher than embedded analogs. In the OSD menu you can change the settings of sound profiles, there are 4 of them: "Standard", "Music", "Movies" and "Clear voice". Given the size of this curved monitor, built-in speakers can save space on the desktop without much damage to the user.

And one more interesting feature that can be found on the back panel is the joystick button for calling the on-screen menu and navigating through it. It is on the right side of the screen when you look at the monitor from the front, and it's quite easy to get it.

Impression of use

Technical specifications, of course, correspond to the level and price of the product, but how convenient are the curved monitors for the computer from Samsung to the user?

The very volume of physical space and high resolution allows you to work comfortably with the screen, and the gameplay or watching movies becomes much deeper and more realistic.

Many people think that the curvature of the screen will spoil and distort the picture, but here you will not find such a negative effect. The bend is smooth and unobtrusive, which is its plus. Working with this model for a while, you forget that it is generally different. Do not distort even the grid table in Microsoft Excel, and for complex graphics tasks: photo processing, video, drawing - or for entertainment purposes a large curved monitor gives the picture better than the standard.

The manufacturer claims that a more uniform focal length (the edges of the screen are close to the eyes) creates a more comfortable and natural image and reduces the burden on the eyes. It can not be said that the curvature of the screen is a revolutionary technology that completely changes the perception of graphic information, but it certainly makes it more lively and exciting.

Working with a dynamic image

And how the curved monitor from Samsung behaves with the action and computer games?

If you look at the dynamic film "007: Coordinates" Skyfoll ", full of dark scenes, then you can immediately see why the manufacturer is proud of his creation. The monitor and the film were able to show the best in each other: dark saturated foreshortenings, bright neon lights of Shanghai, juicy greens, warm rocks and the sea of Turkey - everything looks like a living thing. And, of course, shootings and fights even in the dark look clear and bright.

If you consider the work of the monitor on the example of the game Battlefield 4, then, first of all, you can note a good contrast. It is not as deep as it is found in other similar models, but at the same time it is very comfortable for the eyes and allows you to quickly immerse yourself in the gameplay. The texture of the stone, the foliage in the shade are clearly visible. Bright objects cut through the darkness with impressive clarity, and on the whole a good contrast makes the picture lively and voluminous. The colors are transmitted correctly, they are rich and realistic.

As for the speed of response, then with this monitor you can not be afraid that the process of the game will be spoiled by a hanging picture, as happens with other models. A small "trace" from objects in very dark scenes is possible, but it does not cause significant inconvenience. In general, this is a typical drawback for all LCD panels with vertical alignment technology, which can not yet be eliminated 100%.

Well, let's sum up.

pros

  • In today's age of sales and marketing, even the characteristics provided by well-known manufacturers can sometimes be audited and subjected to outside control. Tests carried out with the help of special programs and equipment, confirm that the curved Samsung S34E790C monitor corresponds to the declared parameters. Minor discrepancies are possible, but the manufacturer does not deceive the buyer.
  • Flexible settings allow you to make the picture bright and juicy, give an accurate color rendition and a deep, clear black color.
  • The surface of the monitor does not distort the image, does not give a grain of pixels effect and does not give any glare.
  • Contrast in dynamic scenes is much better than in most similar in terms of level and characteristics of models.
  • The response speed is surprisingly high.
  • The ratio of diagonal size, screen bending and high resolution gives an unrivaled image.

Minuses

Factory settings give too bright, uncomfortable for the eyes picture with not the best color rendering. Therefore, you will have to reconfigure them in the on-screen menu.

The static contrast is somewhat lower than that of other similar models.

Using an HDMI cable, the monitor operates at a refresh rate of 50 Hz, which causes a decrease in the response rate. However, when connected via DisplayPort, you can go to 60 Hz and this defect is almost eliminated.

Despite the assurances of manufacturers, monitors with a curved screen may not like all users. But this is more the sphere of individual preferences.
