5 best ultrawide gaming monitors under 400 dollars

A monitor is quite literally your window to gaming, and as such, it should be given the utmost priority when putting together a gaming computer.

Despite having a top-of-the-line card like an RTX 3060, a lousy monitor will spoil your gaming experience. On the contrary, a good monitor hooked to even a GTX 1660 Super will considerably improve your overall gaming experience.

Still, many people cheap out on the monitor, but who can you blame given the current prices? Hence, we will list the best ultrawide gaming monitors, all for under 400 US dollars.

But first, let's take a look at some of the essential features to consider while buying a gaming monitor.

What to look for in a gaming monitor

Aspect ratio: Whether you'd like 16:9 or a 21:9 ultra-wide (this is what we are covering).
Resolution: The total pixel count of the display. 1080p is pretty much standard.
Refresh rate: The number of times the display refreshes per second. It is measured in Hz.
Response time: The time taken by pixels to change colors. Anything <5ms GtG is good enough for gaming at 120hz/144hz.
Color accuracy: The ability of the display to reproduce a broader range of colors.
Display size: The physical size of the display.
External build: The build quality, number of ports, look and design, etc.
