On top of that, there’s no IPS glow, making the viewing experience all the better, especially in dark or dim-lit rooms where the high contrast ratio can really bring out the details in the shadows of the image. The Samsung LC34G55T’s response time is superb for the panel type, although it isn’t perfect especially in dark transitions. Some minor persistence and smudging can happen in select sequences, so setting the overdrive to its maximum level is your best option. High-speed imaging will still capture some trails, but it won’t be an issue for the naked eye. Additionally, there are plenty of movies shot at the 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which looks amazing on 21:9 monitors. 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.’ The extra horizontal screen space makes the monitor particularly great for spreadsheets and audio/video editing.

What differentiates this model from the majority, however, is the fact that it has a more aggressively 1000R curved VA panel. Image QualityThe Samsung LC34G55T’s stand only offers tilt so some users, especially the taller ones, might be disappointed. You only have to center the monitor so swivel and pivot aren’t necessary, but vertical ergonomics will always come in handy. You can opt for VESA mounts, but those will add more cost to your upgrade. 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.

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 Samsung’s 1000R curved monitors have received mixed responses from users. Some hate it, others love it, and then there are those who just get used to it. On this 34″ ultrawide monitor, the 1000R curvature is not that much different than 1500R, so it won’t be an issue for most people. In fact, it helps with the immersion and reduces the issues caused by narrow viewing angles of the VA panel technology. Price & Similar MonitorsThe Samsung C34G55T monitor has a screen resolution of 3440×1440 and an aspect ratio of 21:9. This makes it a bit more demanding to drive than Quad HD (2560×1440), but the trade-off is definitely worth it as you get a more immersive viewing experience with a wider field of view in supported games. Such high resolution on the 34″ sized screen of the Samsung C34G55T also hits the pixel density sweet spot of roughly 110 PPI (pixels per inch), meaning that you’ll get plenty of screen real estate, as well as sharp details and text, without any scaling necessary. Of course, IPS displays have their advantages too, such as wider viewing angles, more consistent colors and usually faster pixel response time speed. 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 C34G55T is yet another 34″ 3440×1440 ultrawide curved gaming monitor with a high refresh rate.

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.

However, the Samsung LC34G55T doesn’t present the best value when compared against monitors like the Gigabyte G34WQC or the AOC CU34G2X. This model has a slight advantage in refresh rate and a deeper curve, but it loses out on vibrancy and features. It’s great for gaming, but you are better off saving the money on the two aforementioned models even if they only offer 144Hz.

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. The Samsung LC34G55T produces 99% sRGB and around 77% DCI-P3 which isn’t the best, but sufficiently good for gaming and daily use. The monitor’s default tuning is goo as well since the deltaE average is limited to 1.41. there is a very slight bluish tint on the screen, but it won’t be an issue for most users unless they do some editing work. Make every move count with a 1ms response time. Jump on enemies as soon as you see them and stay ahead with precise mouse movements. Your on-screen performance is as swift as your own reflexes.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. 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. Moving on, the Samsung C34G55T has a specified peak brightness of 250-nits, which is plenty under normal lighting conditions. The display also gets a bit brighter, up to 300 – 350-nits, depending on the unit. The design of the Samsung C34G55T consists of ultra-thin bezels at the top and bottom, a matte anti-glare screen coating that prevents reflections, tilt-only (-2°/18°) stand and 75x75mm VESA mount compatibility. 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.
