Right now Amazon has a pretty good deal on an ultrawide monitor from Samsung, specifically the ViewFinity S5, and this is most certainly an option you’ll want to consider if you want a decent monitor with plenty of screen real estate.
Normally the ViewFinity S5 retails for $349.99, which is pretty reasonable for a monitor of this size. Now this isn’t a high-end gaming monitor or anything like that, but if you were looking for something to use as a standard PC monitor for really anything else, this should more than suffice. Especially with this discount. If you pick it up during the sale, you can actually snag the ViewFinity S5 for $199.99. That’s a discount of 43% and it’s the lowest that this monitor has ever been on Amazon. So you know this is a good deal.
Now while this isn’t a gaming monitor, it’s still an ultrawide monitor, and on top of that it has a 100Hz refresh rate. So it could easily be used for gaming if you like to do a little casual gaming from time to time. This is a flat monitor as well if you prefer flat panels to curved ones. What’s really neat about this monitor is that it has the ability to adjust the brightness based on the lighting in your space.
There’s an ambient light sensor embedded in the monitor, which can tell how bright it is where the monitor is set up. It will then adjust the brightness of the display accordingly. This is so the monitor’s brightness is less harsh on your eyes if you’re sitting in a darker room. And it can be a pretty nice feature to have if you work from home and sit in front of the monitor long enough.
