Ultrawide monitors are awesome, but they’re extremely expensive. If you’re on a tight budget, you could replicate a similar setup by putting together multiple monitors next to each other.
And right now, you can do that on the cheap with a couple of these 21.5-inch Dell SE monitors that are only $70 each. Dell is currently selling them for $20 off, a nice discount of 22 percent.
The Dell SE2225H is a 21.5-inch monitor with a VA panel that delivers great color, good contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles. It has a standard 1080p resolution that serves well as a daily driver, and it also has an anti-glare coating to reduce eye strain. But with a refresh rate of 75Hz and a 5ms response time, don’t expect top-tier gaming here.
The monitor is slim and has tilt adjustability to aid in a comfortable setup, but the stand isn’t height-adjustable so there’s a bit of a trade-off here for the dirt-cheap price. Fortunately, they’re VESA-compatible so you can just mount them on monitor arms to get them in perfect position.
Should you get two of these Dell monitors, it would only cost you $140 and you’d get a total resolution of 3840×1080, or about the same screen real estate as you’d get from a 45-inch ultrawide monitor — and an ultrawide 45-incher would cost you at least $500.
So, you’d save a ton with a pair of these. They’re already inexpensive to begin with, but they’re even more affordable on sale. Snag these Dell SE monitors for $70 each at Dell.com while you still can!
