34″ ViewFinity S65TC (LS34C650TAMXUE / LS34C650TANXGO) Ultra-WQHD 100Hz Monitor Review

For weeks, the ViewFinity S65TC (LS34C650TAMXUE / LS34C650TANXGO) has been my primary monitor, and I’ve put it through its paces. From intensive photo editing sessions to marathon gaming nights, I aimed to uncover its true potential and identify any shortcomings. This review covers every aspect, from its impressive feature set to its everyday performance.

The ViewFinity S65TC boasts a compelling collection of features. The 34-inch Ultra-WQHD (3440×1440) resolution provides ample screen real estate for multitasking and immersive gaming. The 1000R curvature enhances visual immersion, while the 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync technology work together to minimize screen tearing and stuttering for a fluid viewing experience. HDR10 support adds depth and vibrancy to the picture, and the built-in speakers, though not high-fidelity, are surprisingly useful for casual listening. The inclusion of Thunderbolt 4 and a diverse array of ports ensures effortless connectivity. Features like KVM switching, Picture-by-Picture, and Picture-in-Picture add to its impressive capabilities, enhancing productivity.

In practice, the monitor delivered. The image quality is exceptional; colors are vibrant and accurate, and the high refresh rate makes even fast-paced games feel incredibly smooth. The 1000R curve truly does enhance immersion, particularly for gaming and extended periods of work. The Thunderbolt 4 port provided lightning-fast data transfer speeds. The built-in speakers are adequate for casual use, though serious audiophiles will want to connect external speakers. The KVM switch proved incredibly useful for switching between my desktop and laptop seamlessly. Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture functionalities are beneficial for multi-tasking and optimizing workflow.

However, the brightness could be improved in brighter rooms. While adequate, it’s not the brightest monitor on the market and can sometimes feel a little dim in direct sunlight. Additionally, while the curved screen enhances immersion, some users might find the curve a little too pronounced.

Pros:

  • Stunning Ultra-WQHD resolution
  • Immersive 1000R curved display
  • Smooth 100Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync
  • Excellent HDR10 support
  • Versatile connectivity with Thunderbolt 4
  • Useful built-in speakers
  • Convenient KVM switch, Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture

Cons:

  • Brightness could be improved
  • Curvature might be too pronounced for some users
  • Built-in speakers are not high-fidelity

Overall, the ViewFinity S65TC (LS34C650TAMXUE / LS34C650TANXGO) is a fantastic monitor that excels in many areas. The image quality, refresh rate, and feature set are impressive, offering a premium user experience. While there are a few minor shortcomings, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this monitor for anyone looking for a high-quality, feature-rich curved display for productivity or gaming.
