If ultra-wide monitors have been outside of your budget, this discounted LG monitor might be more to your liking. Amazon is selling the 34-inch LG 34WP65G-B UltraWide Monitor going for $199.99 (originally $399.99) after a 50% discount. After running my usual price tracking tools, I can tell you this is the lowest price this monitor has been.
This LG monitor launched in Dec. 2020, and it has an IPS (In-Plane Switching) display for better viewing angles, which is great for color accuracy and consistency. People who do creative work, like graphic designers, pro photographers, or video editors will benefit most. An ultra-wide monitor also offers much more space to multitask with a 21:9 aspect ratio, basically the equivalent of two screens in one.
This LG monitor has FHD (full high definition) with 2560 by 1080 pixels of resolution and an antiglare screen. It is mountable, so you can stack it on a bracket if you wish. The height is also adjustable, and you can tilt the screen back and forth to adjust the viewing angle.
While it’s marketed as a “semi-gaming” monitor, don’t let that fool you. This monitor only has a refresh rate of 75 Hz and a 1 ms response time. Serious gamers usually look for at least 144 Hz and 5ms. But if you’re a casual gamer, 75 Hz is better than most non-gaming monitors with 60 Hz. If you’re looking for a deal on a gaming monitor, consider the LG 34WP60C-B UltraWide for $229.99 (originally $349.99).
