Viewing Angles
The panel itself of the Samsung 34-Inch Curved Screen LED-Lit Monitoris a VA panel which is a combination of the best features from IPS and TN monitors.

Curved Displayed with height and tilt adjustable stand.
The stand has two predominant adjustment modes, so you can adjust the stand vertically to a height that you like and finally you can adjust the Samsung s34e790c by tilting it on its axis so that either down towards the ground or up towards the ceiling to a controlled point.
The mount that holds the monitor in place is really nice and sturdy and will not fail or break easy, this option is also optional as there is a visa mount in case you wanted to mount your monitor by alternative means which was a welcomed addition to have.

Sitting in front of this monitor you will be quickly drawn in by the immersive experience as you game due to the curved display.
Also an amazing thing about the curvature of the screen is that after a while you never notice it as sitting in front your eyes naturally adjust and you will not notice as in terms of dept you will not realize that the center of the screen or either edge is will seem to be the same distance from you.
