Automatic image adjustment

Die typical brightness Samsung specifies the HDR10-capable monitor as 350 cd/m². The S65VC performed well in the test average 390 cd/m² a good bit above and scores with one Contrast ratio of 3818:1 with a strong color representation. It’s not always exactly on the ideal line, but manual adjustment of the display parameters is ultimately only necessary if you want to use the S65VC for image editing or similar tasks where the highest possible color precision is important.

A picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture mode can be activated in which the two signal sources either appear split in the middle of the screen or one of them is displayed in a small preview window while the second takes up the entire screen.

Stereolautsprecher with 2x 5 watts, one Kopf­hörerausgang as well as one Pop-up-Webcam with 5 megapixels and Windows Hello support complete the office features of the S65VC.

Wer save money If you want to, choose the 34-inch sister model instead View­Finity S65UC (LS34C652UAUXEN). This lacks the S65VC’s webcam, but does have one more USB-A port. Samsung offers a three-year guarantee on both models.

If you ignore the 100 heart display, the S65VC’s gaming talents are more or less limited to thatFreeSync support. That’s enough for gaming, but the ViewFinity S65VC doesn’t come close to a monitor that specializes in games.
