Specs match the price. If someone is looking to spend $260 for a 34" ultrawide, they probably don't have a high end GPU that can run 3440x1440 @ 144Hz+ anyway. Same thing about the relatively low brightness. Decent deal even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles.

Eh, so so on this deal. Feels like a half step between a regular monitor and a gaming monitor. Personally looking for something 144hz or better.
This is more for immersive games so running at 60-100 fps is expected, since 2k UW is pretty heavy to run those immersive single player games. I would have agreed with you if this was a regular widescreen.

I've been happy with the monitor had it for 3-4 months now... 100 FPS is sufficient for any game in my opinion, so the refresh rate is plenty, screen is crisp and the price is reasonable, Id buy again. I play BF and use for excel as an additional monitor. Handles both well.

Fair points. I'm personally upgrading my rig, so I don't want to bottleneck with the refresh rate. Hoping this bodes well for more deals up the product stack for Prime Day

Just ordered as I had been shopping to replace an old 27" for home office and Diablo 4 usage. Seems my RTX 4050 GPU can hit 70-90 fps when on high settings at this resolution. I'm coming from 60 fps so should be happY for the price

I have one of these, I wanted to use it with the PS5 but my ps5 it is not going beyond the 60 FPS also it does not have HDR or support VRR. it is a nice monitor for productivity or pc gamming but I should have done more research before buying

I bought this yesterday after doing a general search for monitors. Almost missed it because the title had ultra-wide instead of just ultrawide which also means that my deal alert didn't fire.

Who TF plays games in bright sunlight opting to exclude blinds/shades/at night with the lights on? If that's you, you fail.

I have had a VA monitor for many years and am scared I can't get used to an IPS one, but they don't make any VA ones 27 or less inches apparently. Frown

figure out what I should get if I want a 27 inch 4k monitor that doesn't need fans that will annoy me with their noise.
