Features
A function that includes built-in speakers, allowing audio output directly from the monitor. This eliminates the need for external speakers, saving desk space and reducing cable clutter. Convenient for enjoying videos or casual listening without additional equipment.
Since there is no information about built-in speakers, it is assumed that this monitor does not have built-in speakers. Users will need to rely on external speakers or headphones for audio, which may be less convenient for some setups. External audio solutions can offer better sound quality.
A function that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen. This can help reduce eye strain and fatigue, especially during long periods of use. Beneficial for users who spend many hours in front of the monitor.
The inclusion of Eye Saver Mode, which minimizes blue light, is beneficial for reducing eye strain during long periods of use. This feature helps to maintain comfortable viewing and reduces potential eye fatigue, making it suitable for extended work or entertainment sessions.
A function that allows adjusting the height of the monitor stand. This enables users to position the screen at an ergonomic viewing angle, reducing neck and back strain. Useful for maintaining good posture and comfort during extended use.
There is no mention of height adjustment. The absence of height adjustment might require external stands or accessories to achieve an optimal viewing angle, depending on the user's setup and preferences. Ergonomic customization is limited without this feature.
A function that allows tilting the monitor screen forward or backward. This helps to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, improving visibility and comfort. Useful for different viewing positions and lighting conditions.
There is no mention of tilt adjustment. The absence of tilt adjustment might limit the ability to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, potentially affecting visibility and comfort in various viewing positions and lighting conditions. An external stand might be needed.
A function that allows rotating the monitor screen 90 degrees to a vertical orientation. This is particularly useful for tasks like reading long documents, coding, or web browsing. It maximizes screen space for vertically oriented content.
There is no mention of pivot function. The absence of a pivot function might limit its usability for tasks like reading long documents or coding, where a vertical screen orientation can be beneficial. This function is not essential for most users, but can be useful in specific scenarios.
A function that allows mounting the monitor on a VESA-compatible wall mount or monitor arm. This frees up desk space and allows for flexible positioning of the monitor. Useful for creating a clean and organized workspace.
There is no mention of VESA mount compatibility. The lack of VESA mount compatibility limits its flexibility in terms of mounting options, restricting it to desk or stand use without the possibility of wall mounting or monitor arm attachment. This can be a drawback for users seeking a clean and organized workspace.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Samsung ViewFinity S50GC offers a large, ultrawide display suitable for productivity and entertainment. Its 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync provide a smooth experience, but it lacks some advanced features found in higher-end models. The HDR10 support enhances color depth, making it a good value for its price.
