Ultrawide monitors can help you save space and (sometimes) money compared to having two separate monitors. The 29-inch LG UltraWide monitor can do both for the price of a single budget monitor. For a limited time, you can get this LG monitor for $166.99 (originally $249.99), the cheapest price it has been on Amazon according to price-checking tools.
This LG UltraWide monitor is considered a budget monitor, even at its full $249.99 listing price. This means that you won't get 4K resolution, smart features, or gaming monitor specs. What you do get is an IPS panel with a 2,560 by 1,080 resolution, a 21:9 aspect ratio, and HDR10. While it isn't designed for gaming, it does have AMD Freesync and a 100 Hz refresh rate, so it can handle games better than your regular budget monitor.
The monitor is mountable in case you don't want to use the stand that it comes with. In terms of inputs, it has a display port, USB-C display port (which lets you connect any device to it with a single cable), HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The design is decent, and the white looks clean (that's what the "W" in the 29WQ600-W model number stands for). Keep in mind this monitor only tilts back and forth, with no height adjustment, swivel or pivot.
One of this monitor's nice features is that it can detect when a new input is plugged in or used and automatically switch to it. It also comes with integrated speakers, which isn't very common for speakers around this price point. An IPS panel means you'll get great colors, a wider viewing angle, and better visibility in sunny environments. However, the contrast ratio won't be as good as a VA panel and is susceptible to the classic backlight bleed that all IPS panels can get.
