I like my gaming monitors like I like my men, simple, cheap and great pixel clarity... huh? Anyway, this monitor nails it

Black Friday sales are full of gaming accessories and monitors to choose from, and while it's tempting to be swayed by the lure of the ultra-wide 4K bad boys, I'm really just a simple girl and prefer a small flat monitor that doesn't take up half of my small desk, and it needs to be from a brand I trust. Right now, this LG Ultragear 32 inch fits the bill and it's a whopping $120 off at Best Buy.
