All About 34" Monitors

• How do you measure a computer monitor screen size?

  Monitor screen sizes are measured diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner, typically in inches - for example, 24", 27", or 32". This measurement includes only the screen area, not the bezels or the frame.

• How do you measure the curvature of a monitor screen?

  Curved monitors are measured diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner, just like flat monitors. However, they also have a curvature rating, such as 1000R or 1500R, which indicates the radius of the curve in millimeters. A smaller number means a more pronounced curve.

• What are the benefits of an ultrawide monitor?

  Ultrawide monitors have grown in popularity, offering a wider field of view compared to traditional 16:9 displays. With a wider aspect ratio (21:9 or 32:9), ultrawide monitors provide more horizontal screen space, which is beneficial for tasks like video editing, where you need to see more of the timeline at once. For gamers, an ultrawide monitor offers a more immersive experience by extending the field of view and enhancing peripheral vision in games, creating a more engaging environment. Samsung’s range of larger monitors combine size and performance to make the most out of their size.

• Should I get a 32-inch monitor or a 34-inch monitor for gaming?

  When choosing the ideal computer monitor size, it's important to consider your gaming style, the types of games you play, and the space available in your gaming setup Monitors between 32 and 34 inches strike a balance between screen space and immersion, offering a more expansive view without overwhelming your desk. This size works well for a range of game genres, from action-adventure to RPGs, enhancing the sense of depth and detail. Higher resolutions, like 4K, are also supported, giving you sharper visuals for an enjoyable gaming experience. Samsung’s Odyssey monitors are an excellent option for casual and competitive gamers alike, offering a variety of screen sizes, refresh rates up to 360Hz, response times as fast as 0.03ms, and OLED panels with an expansive spectrum of colors and nearly limitless shades for consistently brilliant imagery.

• Can I use a 34-inch monitor for content creation?

  Yes. The ultrawide aspect ratio (typically 21:9 or 32:9) provides more horizontal space, which is beneficial for tasks like video editing, where you need to see more of the timeline at once. In particular, creative professionals should look at Samsung’s ViewFinity series, a lineup of monitors designed to unlock the potential of business professionals, content creators, and even graphic designers, with technology that brings any vision to life like never before.

• Is a 34-inch monitor too big for office work?

  For productivity tasks like video editing, coding, or even multitasking, the ideal monitor size may vary based on your needs and how much space you have. 27- to 32-inch monitors provide ample screen real estate for multitasking and working with multiple windows open, without taking up too much space on a desk. 34- to 49-inch monitors are particularly useful for graphic design or video editing, since they offer more horizontal space while eliminating the need for multiple displays.

• How can I decide between a 34-inch ultrawide monitor and dual monitors?

  While dual monitor setups have been a popular solution, ultrawide monitors take the experience to new level with a more seamless, efficient setup. With an ultrawide monitor, you get the benefit of expansive screen real estate without the interruptions of bezels splitting your view. The smooth, continuous workspace of ultrawide monitors is perfect for managing multiple applications and projects simultaneously, improving productivity.

• What is the best resolution for a 34-inch monitor?

  Samsung’s 34-inch monitors have Ultra-Wide Quad HD (Ultra-WQHD) resolution. At 3440x1440, Ultra-WQHD offers an immersive experience for both productivity and entertainment. The wider horizontal workspace is ideal for multitasking, allowing professionals to easily manage multiple windows. Gamers benefit from enhanced peripheral vision, making it perfect for immersive experiences in genres like racing, simulations, and first-person shooters.

• What are the benefits of an OLED display?

  OLED stands for “organic light emitting diode.” In traditional LCD monitors using LED (“light emitting diode”) technology, a single backlight illuminates all of the pixels in a screen, creating an image that’s bright but lacking in contrast and color accuracy. In OLED monitors, however, each pixel can autonomously self-light, allowing them to turn off and on completely and individually. Because of their individual pixel lighting, OLED monitors can give users deeper blacks, greater contrast ratios, and more impressive image quality. They also look excellent at any viewing angle, with color and contrast remaining consistent no matter how the screen is tilted or which area of the room you’re watching from.

• What are the benefits of a 34-inch curved monitor?

  Curved monitors are becoming more common thanks to their engaging experience, wider field of view and reduced distortion. Curved monitors, particularly ultra-wide models, have become a favorite among gamers for their ability to create a truly immersive environment. Curved monitors are also becoming essential tools in professional spaces. For tasks that require attention to details, such as video editing, graphic design, coding, and data analysis, curved monitors provide a comfortable, immersive viewing experience.
