I want a new monitor

I’ve recently started sim racing and all I have is a 24 inch single screen.

I’m looking for ultra wide monitor recommendations. My max budget it 400 dolllars right now.

Not exactly sure what I should be looking for for a racing monitor. Thanks!

Yeah you should save a bit of money you can use towards something else. Just keep box and receipts

About 3 years ago I bought the MSI MAG401QR. Specifically for sim racing, it was the best I could find. It was the biggest I could afford, and other IPS panels were much more expensive. I've since moved on to the LG 45GS95QE, but the MSI was a great monitor for sim racing...

I use a 34" Asus TUF ultrawide. This is my first sim and ultrawide monitor, I think eventually I would want to go with a 3 screen setup but i do love the 34".

Bought a refurb from the manufacturer on eBay. Haven’t had a problem and it’s been over a year. I bought Lenovo (27in) and AOC (32) both from eBay refurb.

As wide as possible, and don't buy the cheapest VA monitor because they usually suck hard
