Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Samsung SJ55W good for competitive gaming?

It runs at 75Hz with a 4ms response time and AMD FreeSync, which suits single-player, sim, and strategy titles well. For competitive shooters where 144Hz or higher is the norm, a faster ultrawide is the better fit.

What resolution and aspect ratio does this monitor use?

3440 x 1440 (WQHD) at a 21:9 aspect ratio across a 34-inch VA panel — roughly 2.4 times the pixel density of Full HD.

Can I mount the SJ55W on a monitor arm?

Yes. It uses a 100.0 x 100.0mm VESA wall-mount pattern, so standard 100x100 arms and wall mounts fit. Panel dimensions without the stand are 32.6 x 14.5 x 4.1 inches.

What ports does it have?

HDMI ports plus a DisplayPort input, so you can connect multiple sources at once. Power is AC 100-240V, drawing a maximum of 59W and 0.3W or less in standby.

Can it show two computers on screen at the same time?

Yes. It supports PBP and PIP along with Samsung's embedded split-screen software, letting you view two input sources side by side instead of adding a second monitor.
