The LG 34UC98-W is an immersive visual experience thanks to its 34-inch curved ultrawide display with 3440 x 1440 pixel resolution. The 60Hz framerate isn’t the greatest for gaming, but the immersion of the curved ultrawide panel should make up for it and the build quality is impressive with a generous collection of I/O.

LG's $1,200 gaming monitor is just too expensive
