Samsung LS34A650UBUXEN

First monitor arrived with a dead pixel. Was able to replace under warranty. Second monitor the speakers stopped working after a week. Now after half a year, half the panel goes black requiring a power cycle to reset. It's a bit of a shame as it's a great panel (when it works), but there seems to be some underlying QA issues.

Monitor panel failed less than 5 months after purchase. An online search shows multiple people with the same issue including on Samsungs own forums. Curve on the screen is quite aggressive and clearly places the LCD panel under stress. Samsung won’t take any responsibility and are stating it this only occurs as a result of physical damage.

Great screen for everyday office work. The curved screen is very pleasant to work with and when positioned correctly, provides a great ergonomic setup!

Samsung has certainly made it difficult to criticise this monitor. It's easy to use, beautiful and practical to my work flow. An under-appreciated personal favourite of mine is the included usb hub which is fantastic for Bluetooth receivers. My only complaints has been the large bezels on the inner screen; and the large amount of Styrofoam used in the packaging.

Good Points: Excellent colour reproduction and just the right size for productivty. Improvement Points: Would have been nice if it had a desk clamp stand to reduce footprint
