Good monitor
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Lois November 1, 2024Review source: AmazonLove this monitor. It’s like having two monitors in one. I am able to view two different programs at a time. With this monitor, I got rid of my two regular sized monitors, and the mounting arms. Plus I have less cords with fewer monitors. Color is good and I’ve had it 6 months with no display issues. Would def purchase again.

Terrible product!!!! Samsung customer service was awful.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.6FMG October 27, 2024Review source: AmazonI wanted to give zero stars but Amazon won’t let you do that. Purchased this from Amazon and didn’t open it for over 30 days because I was still building an office. Finally got around to opening it and the screen was cracked. So too late to return to Amazon and I contacted Samsung and they were terrible at their customer service, trying to get a live person. And of course they will not cover it under warranty. They say I have to pay for the repairs myself. I was a Samsung user and product guy, but not anymore!!

How DISAPPOINTING!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Tam As October 14, 2024Review source: AmazonI bought the 34″ curved with USB-C connector. I’ll skip the nice things. Yes it’s a monitor. Yes it connects and works.
What absolutely maddens me:
– No way to change the image to full screen at any input resolution except the max 3440×1440. All other resolutions come with black bars on the sides, no possible stretching. My 10 years old monitors do that.
– When the signal is lost (PC sleep or off) the monitor absolutely never goes to sleep. Not even if I unhook the connection (so it’s not a signal that keeps it up). It shows the “no input signal” screen on forever.
– Every single time when turned on, a “set your optimal resolution 3440×1440” message is shown in the middle of the screen for about a minute. The input IS already set to 3440×1440, that’s what I’m using. The message is horrifying, absolutely disruptive and disgusting with no way to disable it permanently.
– Sound quality through the headset jack is very bad.
– The VESA connection in the back is recessed so deep that the frame around it is in the way for the adjustable monitor arm that I use, never had this issue through about 5-6 previous monitors.Will keep looking. This one is going back and will not buy another samsung. Thank you amazon prime for 30days free returns.

defective and unrepairable
Bill Therrien October 9, 2024Review source: AmazonI bought about 8 of these for my office. I eventually got a complaint that one had broken with a crack in the center. The only thing we could think is something dropped on it and I just set it aside.
A while later I got a second complaint. It had the EXACT SAME DAMAGE. A vertical crack dead center in the screen, with a “V” shaped crack at the top. Very specific and obviously a defect. Unfortunately I didn’t do my homework when I bought these (They broke 6-9 months after purchase), if I did I probably would have seen the issue.Samsung was pretty difficult to work with just getting support for them. Lots of hoops to jump through, and lots of things that just didn’t make sense. For instance, I was emailed the shipping label and told it was “valid for 7 days, unless I printed it, then it’s good for 30 days”. That’s weird, but it doesn’t matter anyway, because I learned what they do is spam your phone with messages the next day and I guess if UPS doesn’t have the package within 48 hours THEY CANCEL YOUR TICKET.
And of course, as others have stated, Samsung refuses to repair them under warranty, they wanted ~$300 to do so.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS OR SIMILAR SAMSUNG MODELS!!! -

If I could rate is a zero star I would
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Steve T. July 18, 2024Review source: AmazonBought the monitor in Feb of 2024. Worked and looked great, until July 16 of 2024. Went upstairs to get a cup of coffee, came back and there was a distinct 1/2 inch vertical black line down the entire screen. Based on in being 6 mos old, opened a case, packed it up and sent it back to Samsung. Got a call today saying that there was “physical damage” and they would not cover. In the end it ended up being a peice of junk and they wouldn’t stand behind it. Done with Samsung. Don’t buy one! Now the good news, Amazon saved the day and agreed to refund. TL;DR. Amazon service = amazing Samsung service = terrible

Good picture quality but issues with sound jack and built-in USB hub
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.NorthFry July 3, 2024Review source: AmazonModel code: LS34A654UBNXGO
Software version: M-A6534SCZA-1004.1 (The Samsung website does not seem to have any FW listed for this monitor, so I assume this is the latest available)Pros: It has nice picture quality (with HDR off) and plays pretty well with a MacBook Pro laptop (tested with Intel)
Cons:
0. Picture
a. Not really a con for me, but make sure to turn HDR off (in MacOS X this is shown as an option – and defaults to on- in the system settings) when using it as a monitor (otherwise picture will look pixelized/washed out (and strange “glowing” effects will show up if one uses nightshift/f.lux type color adjustments)
b. For the 100Hz setting to be available in MacOS one has to select “High Resolution” option in the monitor’s system menu (vs. the default “High-Speed Data”): this could be affecting other USB devices on the hub (like sound, see below).1. Sound
Sound quality (via audio jack): Unbelievably noisy (analog-sounding static noise). Also the jack is extremely tight (ruined an adapter trying to pull it out), volume controls do not work via the Mac itself (only via the displays – clumsy (see point 3 below) – settings). Plus it does not support microphone input.
Would have been better off not adding this connection at all (and just adding an other USB port).
Also when using an USB-to-audio adapter in one of the USB ports, the sound will have no noise, and controls are then available via the computer, HOWEVER it will be crackling/popping (even more so when windows are moved on the display during sound output). I think this might be due to the USB hub mode (see below), but I did not experiment with various settings (i.e. if it is possible to resolve it). Increasing the sound output buffer in sw might help (unfortunately no such setting is available in MacOS X).2. USB hub
USB hub reports being 2.1 only (at least when “High Resolution” option is selected (as per 0/b, above)): This might be a reason the USB sound adapters plugged in to the monitor result in choppy/crackling/popping audio (at least on MacOS X)3. Controls
The controls (under the middle of the display) are awkward to use. At work a version of this same (?) monitor had the “nipple” control on the back, which would be much nicer. Fortunately it is not often that I need to interact with it (once it was set up the way I wanted it)
