The Samsung SJ55W has a pretty interesting design that will suit any room or desk, it’s a combination of dark gunmetal grey in its bezels and stand, and black on its rear panel. The bezels of the device are thicker than I expected but they are not noticeable and are not an eyesore, on top of that the monitor is quite thin when you are looking from the side delivering a pretty aesthetic look. The base of the device has a wide V shape that looks equally good and fits in with the design, and it can comfortably hold this beast stable. In terms of build quality, we did not expect anything less than excellent, and Samsung delivered like always.

The back panel is really clean and tidy, and on it, you will find the stand which is not the most adjustable but gets the job done. Apart from that, you can also find the connectivity ports including one HDMI 2.0, an HDMI 1.4, one DisplayPort 1.2 and a headphone jack, which is more than enough at the price point.

The Samsung SJ55W sports a 34-inch 3440×1440 WQHD resolution VA panel with a static contrast ratio of 3000:1, a refresh rate of 75Hz, a peak brightness of 300 nits, great viewing angles thanks to its VA nature, 4ms response time and AMD FreeSync. This makes it a very feature-rich and capable monitor that is capable of running plenty of tasks like a breeze, for example, gaming will be perfect thanks to its contrast, refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync.

On top of all this, the Samsung SJ55W has a split-screen feature, that makes it a perfect monitor for productivity and multi-tasking, so you can get a lot done in little time. It also performed its duties exceptionally in every task and I have no complaints about it.

One of their most notable is the LG 29UM59-A, which is an ultrawide monitor with an amazing set of features, and it is essentially an entry-level gaming monitor, but thanks to its looks, performance, and features, it makes for a great office monitor that will leave you satisfied.

In terms of design and aesthetics, the LG 29UM59-A utilizes a very utilitarian body with simplistic lines that doesn’t crave attention, but it will fit right in with any design, and it would be the perfect one for your office. It has a slim body with thin bezels on the top and sides, but the bezel is slightly thicker on the bottom.

It has an all-black made of glossy plastic that attracts dust and fingerprints, so it would be wise to have a microfiber cloth to keep it in tip-top shape, and you should beware because the body picks up hairline scratches quite easily. The base is excellently designed with its bow shape, delivering exceptional stability, but not a lot of adjustability apart from tilting. However, there are 75×75 VESA mounting holes if you wish for an aftermarket upgrade, and you also get a multi-directional joystick for OSD navigation that was excellently convenient.

In terms of connectivity this monitor delivers a DisplayPort 1.2 port, and two HDMI 1.4 ports, which may not be a lot, but for the price it is adequate.

First of all, it is worth noting that this monitor is one of the most attractive options in the market with its 1800R curve and its large size. The company has used glossy plastic on the bottom band on the screen, but on the top and sides, it has pretty slim bezels that complete the look of this device.

Moving on the stand and the base is not appropriate for this monitor, not due to size or stability, but due to its aesthetics, but it has VESA mount holes on the back so you can swap it for an aftermarket solution if you wish to. However, the stand provides plenty of adjustabilities so you can get the perfect angle, and it has some cable adjustment solution to keep the cables out of the way.

The back panel of this monitor is pretty attractive as well, with the Acer logo engraved in the top left-hand side and three lines adding some flair to it.
