You might be up a creek if you’re trying to get your hands on a new graphics card. But if you want to upgrade your gaming monitor, it’s coming up roses. Take this Gigabyte 34-inch ultrawide OLED monitor, for example: normally $950, Newegg is now offering it for just $579.99. That’s an impressive $370 off.
The MO34WQC has a semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution for its 34-inch panel, with a 175Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time for lightning-fast multiplayer gameplay. It also has a couple of extras over the usual budget OLED monitor, like USB-C video support, a built-in KVM for multi-device support, and plenty of settings to tweak. Just be aware that power delivery is limited to 18 watts, so this isn’t the best for a gaming laptop.
You can read more tech details in PCWorld’s full review of this monitor. I’d recommend using some of that money you save on a good VESA monitor arm, especially if you’re using a multi-screen desktop setup. Oh, and get some speakers, too. The puny 5-watt pair in this display isn’t fit for any gamer, or anyone who appreciates good sound quality.
Newegg’s product page combines this $350 discount with an additional $20 coupon code, so don’t forget to put in BUDEPA929 at checkout to get the best price. I have no idea how long the deal will last, but they tend to go quickly in this price range.
