Getting work done can be a chore if you’re working on a laptop display, or a small monitor. If you’ve been looking to improve your productivity on a budget, you can take advantage of a $150 discount on Samsung’s 34-Inch S50GC Series Ultrawide QHD Monitor. At its current $200 price, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better, bigger display for your money.

The S50GC has a lot going for it beyond its impressive size. The display supports HDR (high dynamic range), which makes colors pop, and a PIP (Picture In Picture) mode that allows you to break the monitor’s pixels up into perfectly-sized chunks. Gamers will be able to take advantage of the display’s 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support to play fast-paced titles at high speeds.

The big benefit to using an ultrawide monitor is the ability for your content to take up your entire peripheral vision. This allows you to have a particularly immersive experience when watching videos or playing games. However, photo and video editors will benefit by having ample space for their tools on screen next to their content. Office workers of all stripes can have their e-mail and messaging services of choice open at all times while getting work done, cutting down on the number of windows that need to be minimized and maximized.

Whether you want to improve your productivity at work, or enjoyment of games when you get home (or both!) don’t miss this deal.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
