Ultra-wide gaming monitors can be an acquired taste for most people. They offer massive screens with high levels of framerate and resolution, but often come with ludicrously high price tags in the hundreds of thousands.
However, we have found an ultra-wide gaming monitor that won't cost such a tall toll while delivering reliable visuals and framerate performances — the HP OMEN 34c (G2), which is now on sale for $319.99 at Amazon.
Why buy the HP OMEN 34c (G2) monitor?
The HP Omen 34c (G2) doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, but it does a good job improving upon the foundations set by the G1 series while keeping its specs grounded with only essential components to enhance gaming without bloating its price tag.
It features a 34-inch, ultrawide VA panel display capable of producing crisp visuals up to 3440 x 1440 WQHD resolutions, 400 nits of brightness, and a striking 4000:1 contrast ratio.
The HP Omen 34c (G2) also features a 180Hz refresh rate, which just hits the sweet spot between 120Hz and 240Hz to help keep a game's framerate consistently high while removing all traces of motion blur and artifacting to keep visuals clean.
Other performance-enhancing features include 1ms response times and AMD FreeSync Premium support. The monitor also includes an anti-glare coating to prevent the screen from being obscured by outside lights.
So, if you fancy a simple, straight-to-the-point ultra-wide gaming monitor to play your favorite Xbox or PC titles with commendable performance without costing you an arm and a leg, then the HP OMEN 34c (G2) is not a bad choice at all.
