HDR10 support is key to the screen's visual performance, with Samsung saying it can display over a billion colors versus the 16.7 million colors that most SDR monitors are capable of producing. It can output a typical brightness of 300 cd/m2 and has a static contrast ratio of 3000:1 for better blacks, all geared towards sharper images for your work and fun needs.
The monitor is currently an Amazon's Choice and has seen more than 3,000 sales in the last month. Right now, $219.99 is the lowest price you can get for the ViewFinity S50GC, down from its typical $329.99 list price. You can grab it right away from Amazon US store at this discounted price.
The 100Hz refresh rate is fine for office work but gaming will feel choppy compared to standard 144Hz panels at this price point.
That 33 percent drop from the list price is actually significant for a 3440 by 1440 panel. I might grab one for the home office.
does the amd freesync actually work with nvidia cards or is it locked to ati hardware only?
It supports both. The standard usually includes Nvidia G-Sync Compatible mode which utilizes the same FreeSync pool on most modern GPUs.
