Need curved if this wide.
Stop it. This nonsense comment appears an every single ultrawide flat deal that is posted. Stop it. Stop assuming you know everyone's monitor needs. I do not need or want a curved monitor. I own this very monitor and I love it. A curved screen would be a poor decision for my use.

If you are doing productivity like schoolwork or work from home, there is no substitute for having two monitors. An ultrawide does not give you the productivity of two monitors.
I can definitely agree with this statement. I have an ultrawide but ended up getting two monitors as there is still more real estate and you can more easily arrange your windows on the dual monitor setup. So I ended up hardly using my ultrawide...

Thanks for posting this info. How many button clicks does it take to switch sources? Are there dedicated buttons to quickly do it or is it a series of menu clicks? Can they switch sources via hotkey?

I used to have a KVM, but now that monitors come with multiple input sources I've switched to just a KM USB switch. But having to rely on the monitor to do the video switching is a pain because they don't have an easy way to do it - no extended button dongle that can be mounted in an easy to reach location.
I just tested this. It takes three clicks. There is a directional button on the back right of the monitor. Click once to bring up the menu. Click it left to go to the sources. Click it a third time to toggle to the next source.

Like others have said, it appears two monitors angled towards you is better than one this large. Also, many that use a monitor this large say that at this size you need it to be curved. Just a few things to consider.

I use a 34" Dell Ultrawide curve(barely there curve for the Dell P3421W model) and at home, Acer Nitro 34" real 1500R curve radius which is a real curve, do yourself a favor if you're going for a 34" try to get an at least 1800R to 1500R curve monitors, your neck will thank you.
There is a huge difference between my office and my home monitors and comfort level.
Acer is much more comfortable to view and work with.

I have this monitor and I'm very happy with it. I use it in my home office.

It takes 3 clicks to switch a source:
1. click the joystick nub on the back of the monitor to activate the menu
2. push the nub to the "Switch" icon on the left side of the menu
3. Click "Switch" icon.
Then, wait for about 5 - 8 seconds while it iterates all the sources and finds the active one.

Apparently there's no shortcut or hotkey to do that as the joystick nub is the only action button that you can utilize and there's no any other button.

Is your HDMI input CEC compatible?

It looks like source detection is a setting in the options, but maybe the HDMI handshake is getting in the way.

A $10 active splitter with an HDMI/DP adapter would probably fix this for you.
At first, I thought it might be the case but after checking the same connections to my Acer and LG monitors which are all good in automatic source switch and I found it not be the case in this Samsung Monitor. Also thank you for the suggestion on the splitter, I will take a look at it.

Would this be a better option than the 27" LG that was posted yesterday? Looking for home office use.

yeah i dont know why people say that they need curved on a 34... you gotta be kidding me. i'm on the 43 dell ultrasharp and it is not curved. would it help me if it was curved? maybe? but is it absolutely needed? no. and that's on a 43 this is a 34. i can tell you on a 34 it's absolutely not a must. people are ridiculous.

Some thoughts of mine, in regards to office work...

The standard 24" monitors with a 16:9 ratio aren't ideal anymore for multitasking. It's not unusable. But the width is overkill for apps like Outlook and most web pages. So you're left with web pages with wide boarders, and turning your head a lot.

16:9 used to be great when applications and web pages tended to be even narrower. At that point, snapping a pair of windows worked really well. But now days, half of a 16:9 monitor seems too narrow, but the full things seems excessive.

A 21:9 ultrawide monitor seems to be in a good spot for my needs. Snapping a browser on one half and Outlook or Excel on the other, for example, works great. Both windows seem to have a good balance of height and width. You also need to turn your head a lot less using one ultrawide instead of a pair of 16:9 monitors.

Another popular option is a 32" UHD monitor. On a technical level, this is a better value. But ergonomically, I'm not a fan. A 32" 16:9 monitor is too tall for my taste. I end up scanning my eyes up and down way too much. And if you sit far enough back to make it comfortable, you end up scaling the OS so much that you may not get anymore usable space than a 27" 1440p monitor.

My current setup is I sit centered on a 34" UWQHD with windows snapped on either side. Then, I repurposed my 32" UHD monitor to be rotated vertically and off to the side. The 32" UHD holds MS Teams on the bottom half. On the top I keep things like my calendars always in focus. The UW is where I primarily work, and the UHD acts as a dashboard where I rarely switch the windows around.

I've been using this for months now and it's fantastic. Yes, it's VA and viewing angles aren't amazing but I'm quite happy with the screen quality and this is pretty difficult to beat for the price. The screen real estate is just amazing for work and general multitasking.

If you need two monitors for work/school and wondering if you should buy this, why not get two of this? Wink
