Samsung 27-Inch ViewFinity S7: was $349.99 now $189.99 at Amazon

For the money, you get a 27-inch HDR screen with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 – so yes, that means you’re getting an aspect ratio of 16:9. And this means that not only can you pull off the usual ultra-wide tricks like getting a wider field of view in shooters, for example, you can even have the monitor act as four distinct 16:9 (normal widescreen) full HD displays. Like having four monitors side-by-side, in other words, which is obviously great for productivity in general Windows usage.

In our review of the S9 (its bigger brother), our colleague, Tim Danton, called the screen “A standout monitor for its smart TV and gaming features, its hardware calibration and its price."

Not only does it have HDR10 for better color fidelity, it also features four ports (HDMI, DP, USB-A, USB-B) and can do picture-in-picture as well as picture-by-picture. It has a headphone port, but sadly, no speakers.
