I liked the central control on the bottom of the monitor, as it is easy to find and adjust settings. The monitor provides ample ergonomic adjustments from colour temperature adjustment to display height (about 5” rise) and tilt angle up to 25*. This monitor can be set to be placed in a very ergonomic position for any office setup.

The 100Hz refresh rate lends to a fluid visual experience and is decent for gaming, but there are certainly better monitors for gaming, especially for the price. That being said, there is a Game Mode which Samsung recommends enabling if you intend to use the A650 for gaming. Additionally, there is a setting for enabling faster response times, which is good to see for a monitor that doesn’t market itself heavily towards gamers. If your primary purpose is for gaming, I’d still advise looking at other options. The unboxing experience of the A650 was pleasantly simple. Inside the box, you’ll be presented with the components for the 2-piece stand as well as the display, itself. I grabbed a Phillips-head screwdriver and assembled the base to the pole-like stand, and then without any additional tools, I attached the display to the stand using the integrated latching mechanism. It was very easy to assemble, which is always great to see, as I’ve dealt with many monitors that require too many screws or are fidgety to assemble. The stand doesn’t have a swivel which might be desirable for some workflows like coding, but since this display has such a strong curvature, it wouldn’t be such a great experience. The monitor setup is straightforward; everything that comes out of the box is very organised. Requires only a screwdriver to attach pole to base. The monitor itself feels well-made and sturdy. It comes with a built-in cable management attachment near the bottom to help keep the two (power & HDMI/DP) necessary cords neat. The laptop also has a 90W Power Delivery USB-C interface that allows you to use a single cord display and power connector for your laptop and provides extra USB connections.My current desktop setup consists of two 24” 1080P (1920x1080) IPS screens; for a lot of my everyday work, a single widescreen 34” in a 21:9 format would be a more suitable replacement. Considering the max spec resolution of 3440x1440@100hz (1440p) and its size, it is equivalent to my dual-screen setup. I’m always excited to try out new monitors. They are an essential element of any workstation - even if you primarily use a laptop - and depending on what your line of work is, a monitor can make or break your project. I’m a photographer by trade and so I’m always looking for the best monitor for color accuracy and uniform brightness across the screen. While you can certainly go through the paces of calibrating monitors for your needs, if you start out with one that is color accurate, you are that far ahead of the game when you start. With these needs in mind, I decided to take a look at the A650 Series monitor from Samsung. I can’t find anything negative to say about the Samsung A650. I use it solely for office productivity and watching videos, and I am very happy with it. In fact I am even contemplating purchasing another one for a super ultra wide dual curved monitor setup, but that would defeat the purpose of having a clutter free desktop. So much for clearing up my desktop, I’m in...I’m getting another A650 monitor!

The Sony PS4 and PS5 do not offer 1440 resolutions or FreeSync.You can still connect your Sony console to the monitor, but it will have a stretched look to everything.The effective resolution on the PS4 and PS5 will be 1080P at 60Hz with HDR*( on PS5s and some PS4s). Ditch the clutter and keep connected. S6 features a USB Type-C port with 90W charging to power your laptop and transmit data with just one cable. It also has a LAN Port which allows a laptop that has no LAN port to simply connect to the monitor for Ethernet use. Enhanced concentration and comfort Boost productivity and reduce eye strain for those long working days. 1000R curvature closely matches the curve of the human field of sight, allowing content to be viewed at a glance while proven to effectively limit eye strain compared with flat monitors, for a more comfortable experience. Overall, the Samsung A650 ultrawide monitor is a good contender for those looking for a display that is decent for both gaming and productivity over USB-C. If you’re the kind of person who has two computers—a desktop for gaming and a USB-C enabled thin and light laptop for work, the A650 might be a good option to simplify your connectivity. While I don’t think it’s the best option for single-cable use for MacBook owners due to the sleep-related issues I encountered, your mileage may vary for other USB-C enabled notebooks. You also have a -2 degree (aiming down) to 25 degree (aiming up) tilt which is plenty for users to dial in good posture for viewing the display. Additionally, the display can be rotated left or right 30 degrees each way—this might be useful for showing content to someone standing next to you, so you don’t have to rotate the entire stand.

Samsung S34A650UXU - Q&A

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. A good number of years ago, curved TV’s were the hottest thing at CES, and while that trend did not last, this trend of a curved monitor for high-end desktops is here to stay. However, one thing that really confused me was the number of settings that directly affect brightness. The on-screen descriptions of these settings don’t explain when the options are available; instead, forcing you to consult the manual for guidance. Many of the settings won’t allow you to engage them if other settings are toggled. Let’s walk through some of the extra settings that affect brightness. Take a bit of getting used to the perfect spot where you are comfortable to see the entire screen. The sweet spot is quite immersive as it's quite a deep curve.
