If you're thinking of taking the plunge and buying an ultrawide gaming monitor this Prime Day, I don't blame you. I used to not be a fan of ultrawides, but after using quite a few over the past few years and experiencing the benefits of a stretched screen, I have to admit I'm a convert.

Being able to stretch out multiple windows on a very wide screen is definitely a productivity booster, and the game takes some getting used to, but once you go wide, it's hard to go back.

However, if you think going ultrawide means spending ultra money, you are mistaken. Below are five of the best deals on ultrawide gaming monitors.

Let's start with a screen with a very silly name but ridiculously low price: the Acer Nitro EDA343CUR Hbmiippx (say it out loud, I dare you) may be a bit of a mouthful, but here we have a 34-inch, 3440 x 1440 ultrawide display for only $200 at Newegg.

When was the last time a major component of a system was this cheap? This may be a VA panel, and 100Hz is not the fastest refresh rate you can find, but absolutely nothing beats this curved monitor for the money. Nothing beats this curved monitor for the price.

Acer often impresses me with their pricing on monitors, and at this price the Nitro is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a budget ultrawide. It's the cheapest way to get a great widescreen experience at your desk and, if you ask me, a bit of an amazing bargain.

Let's step it up a notch and talk about this LG Ultragear. It costs $50 more than the ultra-cheap Acer, but you get a higher 160Hz refresh rate and LG credit. Again, this is a VA panel, but we've long been fans of LG's Ultragear monitors, and this one is no exception.

Supporting AMD Freesync Premium for smooth, screen-crying gaming and 1ms motion blur reduction, this beautiful monitor has great specs from a very reliable brand. It has a built-in black stabilizer for dynamic brightness, 99% sRGB coverage, and HDR10 support.

All for $250 on Amazon, you get a high refresh rate ultrawide at this price.

Speaking of reliable brands in gaming monitors, how about the Samsung Odyssey G5 from Samsung?

Like the monitors above, it has a 34-inch ultrawide area, but this time with a slightly faster refresh rate of 165 Hz; the 1000R curve is immersive, and the 1 ms response time is adequate.

Brightness is 250 nits and ports are fairly limited (one HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4), but if you're looking for a name-brand budget ultrawide with serious specs, the G5 is a great option. Especially with its current price of $300 at Best Buy. This display proves it.

Now, the previous three are all VA panels, and while VA panels can provide a good experience despite their low price, if you're looking for something pin-sharp, the next step up is IPS. This Gigabyte M34WQ may not have immersive curves, but it has impressive specs for the $390 you pay at Newegg right now.

First, brightness is 400 nits and color accuracy is 91% at DCI-P3. Not the best, but good enough for the price. We've been evaluating Gigabyte's monitors for a while now for their combination of value, build quality, and excellent panels, and this one has a nice mix of all three. [It also offers a full range of connectivity options. It also offers a full range of connectivity options. 0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity, one USB Type-C, two USB 3.0 downstream ports, and one USB 3 upstream port In addition, there is a headphone jack.

It has a lot of attractive features for $390. Personally, I prefer curved ultrawides, but if curvature doesn't bother you and you want a great IPS panel, this would be a great option.

PC Gamer's absolute favorite, the Alienware 34 AW3423DWF, is another monitor with a very silly letter sequence, but this one has pretty impeccable specs; at $699 currently at Dell, this OLED monitor is the lowest price we've seen. We also gave it a score of 95 in our review. Yes, 95 points. That doesn't happen often.

But when it comes to this ultrawide, it's not hard to see why. First, because it uses OLED, it has very deep blacks, excellent color reproduction, and the right amount of vibrancy to make everything look great.

However, this model has an anti-glare gloss coating. This may not be something to brag about, but it really makes a difference in the vividness of the images this monitor displays. This is a subtle improvement on an already great recipe, and it shifts this monitor from incredible to literally the best ultrawide OLED we've ever tested.

All for $699. That's a lot of money by anyone's standards, but from what we can get here, it's actually a great buy. But the AW3423DWF is definitely one of them. [But there is no doubt that the AW3423DWF is one of them. But what you get here is an OLED, an emerging trend in gaming display technology, and a panel size that, frankly, dwarfs most other ultrawides on the market. The price is down to $900 on Amazon right now, which is an excellent price for a monitor with this kind of reputation.

This 49-inch display is stunning in person: I was supposed to write an article at Computex, but I ended up watching “Horizon: Forbidden West” on this ultrawide OLED technology is inherently capable of producing infinitely deep blacks, 99% DCI P 3 10-bit color accuracy, and a GTG response time of 0.03 milliseconds.

In short: “It's going to display anything you can think of.”

Don't take my word for it. When Nick reviewed this monitor, he was impressed with its color reproduction, anti-glare semi-glare coating, and HDR capabilities. This is a huge tech product, so be sure to measure your desk space before you hit the buy button.

Large OLED ultrawides can be very expensive, but the CO49DQ has already been discounted despite being new to the market. $900 is a lot of money, but this monitor will be satisfying for some time to come and is a true investment in an excellent PC gaming setup. It will be a true investment in a good PC gaming setup.
