I've become a proper ultrawide convert so here are my six picks for the best Prime Day ultrawide gaming monitor deals

If you're thinking of taking the plunge and buying an ultrawide gaming monitor this Prime Day, well, I don't blame you. I never used to be a fan of ultrawides, but having used quite a few over the past few years and experiencing the benefits of a stretched out screen, I have to admit I've become a convert.

Being able to stretch out multiple windows over a very wide screen boosts productivity, there's no doubt, and—while it takes some getting used to for gaming—once you've gone wide, it's difficult to go back.

But if you thought going ultrawide meant spending ultra money, you'd be wrong. I've collected five of the best ultrawide gaming monitor deals below for your perusal, and each are the best prices you'll find right now on screens that goes very wide indeed.

Acer Nitro EDA343CUR Hbmiippx | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 100Hz | VA | $279.99 $199.99 at Newegg (save $80)
34 inches of ultrawide, high-refresh gaming action for just $200. Not bad. Okay, it's only 100Hz and this is obviously a VA not an IPS panel. And the product name is unforgivable. However, in a world of terrible $400 budget GPUs, this thing looks like a bargain.

Price check: Best Buy $259.99

Let's kick things off with a screen with a very silly name, yet a ridiculously low price. The Acer Nitro EDA343CUR Hbmiippx (say it out loud, I dare you) might be a bit of a mouthful, but what you're getting here is a 34-inch, 3440 x 1440 ultrawide display for a mere $200 at Newegg.

When was the last time a major component of your system cost you that little? A while I bet, and a good monitor is one of the most crucial components of all. It might be a VA panel, and 100 Hz isn't the fastest refresh rate you'll find, but absolutely nothing beats this curved monitor for the money.

Acer often impresses with its monitor pricing, and this deal makes the Nitro a no-brainer for those looking for a budget ultrawide. It's the cheapest way of getting a great widescreen experience on your desk, and a bit of a stunner of a deal
