Lastly, the monitor also supports AMD FreeSync, meaning if you own a compatible AMD-GPU, you can enjoy tear-free gaming. There’s no Nvidia G-sync variant available of the C34J79.

Samsung’s quantum dot technology impressed me in the Samsung C24FG70, and theC34J79 is no different. Colour accuracy is impressive. An average Delta E of 1.5 means this screen is ideal for colour critical work such as professional-level photo editing, and gamut coverage is just as good, with sRGB coverage hitting an impressive 98.3% sRGB, Adobe RGB coverage at 74.8% and DCI P3 gamut coverage is 80.5%.If the stand is too limiting for your tastes, you can opt for a VESA compatible aftermarket mount for the C34J791. The downside is you have to use an adapter for this setup to work, although you will find that among the accessories in the box. Display and Performance The stand is beautifully engineered and provides both height and tilt adjustments, plus if you want to wall mount it you can use the VESA mounting kit included in the box. You might want to do that, as well, since in addition to its wide, 21:9 aspect ratio it’s a jolly big screen, measuring a substantial 34in across the diagonal; Samsung also introduces a dramatic 1500R curvature here, the idea being to provide a more immersive viewing experience than a flat monitor.

Despite not having a 144Hz refresh rate, the C34J79’s native 1440p resolution at 100Hz provides a great gaming experience.When Samsung went through the features of this monitor with me, it outlined how the C24FG70 was aimed at competitive gamers, while the C34J79 on review here was more aimed at more casual gamers. To me, that suggested the C34J79 might suffer from ghosting, motion blur and high input lag, something that’s a VA panel trait.
