LG make some stunning high-end monitors, but even when you get down to the more budget ultrawide level you still get a lot for your money. With a 160 Hz (overclocked) refresh rate this monitor can show a decent turn of speed, even if it is a VA panel, and at this price makes for a very affordable way to get a good gaming ultrawide on your desk.
Ultrawide gaming monitors can be found for very reasonable prices these days, but you still need to be careful with the specs sheets when looking for the best deal. Ideally you want to pick a trusted brand with a good refresh rate, some useful features, and excellent specs before laying down your cash, even on a budget.
