LG 34-Inch Ultra Wide Full HD Monitor for $330 ($50 off)
Amazon ($327), Best Buy, Adorama
Reviews editor Jeffrey Van Camp recommends (and uses) this monitor from LG, which has a 2,560 x 1,080 pixel resolution, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, and a speedy response time that makes it good for gaming. Ultrawide monitors open up new worlds of multitasking, letting you run two full-size browser windows side-by-side (or another application), which is why several members of the Gear team have one.
Dell UltraSharp 27-Inch LED Monitor for $356 ($244 off)
This 27-inch monitor has a 1440p screen (2560×1440 pixels) is a favorite of Gear Team’s Parker Hall. At 3,440 x 1,440 resolution it’s plenty sharp, though the 60 Hz refresh rate might not be the best for graphics intensive games. It has plenty of ports, including a power port that can handle 90 Watts.
