While a lot of people might be looking outdoors at the weather with glee, some of us just want to spend the longer days gaming, and there’s no shame in that. If you’ve been using the same set up for a few years now though, maybe this is a good chance to treat yourself to an upgrade. There are plenty of ways to do that, but with components being absurdly expensive, it’s probably better to look at some of the peripherals, and a better monitor is often one of the best ways to upgrade.

Getting a new monitor can be expensive, but you can save a fair amount of cash if you don’t mind being patient. In fact, if you’ve been waiting for a good deal, then you’re going to want to have a look at this Samsung 34-Inch ViewFinity S50GC Monitor, because it’s not only sublime, but also 33% off. That means it’s down to $220 for a short time, and it’s going to make your games look incredible.

Gaming, But Prettier

This thing has a 3440 x 1440 resolution display, which is a fair amount better than standard HD, and it’s wide too, so you’ll be able to get more game into your eyes when you play games. There’s probably a better way to phrase that, but it’s out there now for the world to see, so we’re all stuck with it. Anyway, alongside being incredibly pretty, it also has a 100Hz refresh rate, so you can enjoy games up to 100 frames per second with absurdly good looks and a level of smoothness that would make a ball bearing jealous.

You’re also getting loads of different features too, like AMD FreeSync, a wonderful borderless design, and plenty of eye care features too. It just means that you’ll be able to game for ages with no problems on that mortal frame of yours, which is the least exciting thing to talk about, but also incredibly important for everyone, but especially those of us older than 30. Look, sleeping slightly too long can lead to issues at that point, and it only gets worse, so ergonomics end up being very important.

If you do want to pick this one up while it’s down to $220, we recommend being as fast as possible, because we’re not expecting the deal to last for very long. You don’t want to take too long and end up missing out on this excellent price, or you’ll kick yourself and you’ll have to wait for ages for the next deal.
