Helping you pick an ultrawide
These are the best ultrawide monitors we've found for PC. The panels listed cater to different needs and requirements, for gaming or productivity. When looking at ultrawide panels, you should be looking at the resolution, port availability, as well as refresh rates and response times to pick the right one for you. We're partial to curved displays, so if we had to pick just one the LG UltraWide 34WK95C would be it.
This 34-inch panel from LG is stunning. It comes rocking Nano IP display with both PPI and PBP display, an sRGB colour accuracy rating of over 135%, and is calibrated from the factory. There are plenty of ports on the rear of the screen, allowing you to not only be more productive but enjoy movies and games too. Using the UBS-C charging port, you can use the display and charge your device at the same time. The LG UltraWide does come with a high price tag.
For a more budget-friendly option, check out the LG 25UM58-P. This monitor is a bit smaller, only 25 inches, but is still impressive with excellent 2560x1080 resolution. With this monitor, you get an IPS panel with two HDMI ports, FreeSync, and a refresh rate of 60Hz. It's possible to split the screen up to four times for increased levels of productivity, and there's even a dual controller for connecting two PCs to the unit.
