It’s been a couple of years considering that I transitioned my main display to a super-sized ultrawide. While I did it for video gaming, it’s been a shockingly excellent advantage for my performance, too– I’m utilizing apps side-by-side for almost anything that isn’t video. If you ‘d like to sign up with the club, today Microcenter is offering a full-res 34-inch ultrawide screen from Samsung for simply $199.99.
What do I indicate by “full-res?” Well, this ViewFinity S5 has a resolution of 3440 × 1440– it’s generally the exact same vertical resolution as a 27-inch, 1440p display, extended into a 21:9 element ratio. We’ve seen a couple of similarly-sized screens on sale, however they cheaped out on the screen panel with a 1080p base. This is the genuine offer.
There are a couple of compromises to strike that low rate. It’s a VA panel, not IPS, so the color precision isn’t actually sufficient for media or professional image work. And with a refresh rate of 100Hz, it’s good for video gaming, however you will not be maxing out a more effective system even with the AMD FreeSync tech. It’s likewise doing not have an elegant curve. Note that unless you have a MicroCenter retail shop near you, you’ll require to pay for shipping.
(By the method, if you require huge resolution and a color-accurate IPS panel, this smaller sized 4K Acer screen is still on sale since today.)
If you’re looking for the efficiency and field-of-view increase an ultrawide screen brings, this is about as inexpensive as they come, even if you do have to pay for shipping. Keep in mind that MicroCenter’s offers frequently do not last long, so this may head out of stock rapidly.
