SJ55W Ultra WQHD Monitor
Perfect monitor for a developer

I can finally say that I’ve found a monitor that’s perfect for my job as a web developer. I’ve used several different external monitors with my laptop, but all except this 34” Samsung SJ55W ultra-wide have missed the mark in some way. Normal 1080p monitors just couldn’t show enough on the screen, causing me to continually flip back and forth between applications. 4K monitors were super-crisp and high resolution, but the font sizes were too small to comfortably read. This Samsung’s wide screen and 3440x1440 resolution is just right and has no problem displaying my code editor and a couple of terminals and browsers on the screen at the same time.
Another thing I love about this monitor is its non-reflective screen. My desk at work is directly next to a big window, and this caused big problems in the past with major glare on other monitors that had glossy panels. I’ve never had any trouble seeing my work on this Samsung’s screen, even in bright daylight.
The monitor offers other features like the ability to display two video inputs/sources at the same time (side-by-side or picture-in-picture) and FreeSync capability, but I’ve yet to try them. The 75Hz refresh rate is a little higher than the 60Hz most other monitors have, and combined with it’s speedy 4ms response time, this would also make a nice gaming monitor.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with using this monitor on a daily basis at work. I’ve spent a solid month with it now and can’t imagine going back to a different monitor. My productivity has really increased now that I'm able to keep all my important applications visible at the same time. Thanks to Samsung for such a great monitor!
