Best Overall Value
If you want the most immersive gaming experience in this roundup, this is it. The 34-inch curved UWQHD panel with a 1500R curve radius is genuinely well-suited to the screen size. Sit at a normal desk distance and the curve wraps your peripheral vision in a way that flat panels simply don't.
The 3440x1440 resolution looks sharp across the 34-inch panel, and 128% sRGB coverage means colours are vivid and punchy. At 180Hz with Adaptive Sync, fast-paced games feel fluid and responsive. This is the kind of spec sheet you'd expect to pay significantly more for from an established brand.
Build quality here is the best in the Gawfolk range. The chassis feels solid, the stand is more substantial than the cheaper models, and the bezel is slim on three sides. It's not going to match a premium Dell or LG for fit and finish, but for a budget brand it's noticeably better than average. Wall mounting is supported via standard VESA.
At Check price this is near the top of the budget, but the combination of curved UWQHD, 180Hz, and strong colour coverage makes it worth it for serious gamers who want a proper ultrawide experience without breaking the bank.
Pros

- 1500R curve suits the 34-inch size well

The white colourway alone will make this one stand out on a lot of desks. But beyond the aesthetics, the Gawfolk 27-inch curved 200Hz in white is a genuinely capable monitor with a few features that justify its mid-range position in this lineup.
The 1800R curve on a 27-inch screen is well-judged. It adds immersion without feeling excessive, and the 200Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time keeps gaming feeling sharp and responsive. FreeSync support keeps things tear-free on AMD systems, and it works reasonably well with Nvidia cards too via Adaptive Sync.
Built-in speakers are a practical bonus, especially for a desk setup where you don't want external speakers cluttering things up. They're not audiophile quality, but they're fine for casual use and system sounds. The 98% sRGB coverage is solid, and the 178-degree viewing angle means colours hold up well from off-axis positions.
The honest limitation here is 1080p across 27 inches. Pixel density is noticeably lower than the 4K model, and if you sit close to your screen you may notice it. For gaming at normal desk distances it's fine. For detailed work or reading small text, the 4K model is a better choice if your budget stretches.
Pros
- Stylish white design stands out on a desk
- 200Hz with 1ms response for fast gaming
- Built-in speakers included
- 1800R curve adds immersion at 27 inches
- FreeSync and Adaptive Sync support
Cons
- 1080p at 27 inches is lower pixel density
- White finish shows dust more readily
- 98% sRGB, not quite 100%

3. Gawfolk 34-inch Ultra-Wide Gaming Monitor | 21:9 IPS Screen Display | 120Hz Refresh Rate | FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible | HDMI & DP Ports, Wall-mounted 75 * 75mm
Want an ultrawide monitor for as little as possible? This is your option. The Gawfolk 34-inch 120Hz IPS ultrawide is the cheapest route into the 21:9 experience in this roundup, and at Check price it's genuinely tempting for budget-conscious buyers.
The IPS panel delivers good viewing angles and decent colour accuracy. FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility means it plays nicely with both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards. 120Hz is a solid refresh rate for most gaming scenarios, and the ultrawide format gives you that extra horizontal space that makes games and productivity genuinely better.
Here's where honesty matters though. This monitor runs at 1080p resolution stretched across 34 inches. That's a pixel density of around 65 PPI, which is noticeably soft compared to the UWQHD models. Text can look a bit fuzzy, and fine details in games won't be as sharp. If you're coming from a 1080p 24-inch monitor, the difference in sharpness will be obvious.
So who is this for? Casual gamers who want the wide-screen experience on a very tight budget. People who prioritise screen width over pixel sharpness. Anyone who mainly uses their monitor at a greater viewing distance where the lower pixel density matters less. It's a compromise, but it's an honest one at this price.
Pros
- Cheapest ultrawide in the Gawfolk range
- IPS panel with good viewing angles
- FreeSync and G-Sync compatible
- 21:9 format for wide-screen gaming and productivity
- VESA wall mount compatible
Cons
- 1080p across 34 inches is noticeably soft
- 120Hz is the slowest refresh rate in the range
- Not suitable for detail-heavy work or close viewing
Best Budget
The Gawfolk 32-inch curved 180Hz is our best budget pick in this roundup. It's the biggest screen in the range and offers a genuinely immersive gaming experience for those who prioritise screen size above all else.
At 32 inches with a 1800R curve, this monitor fills your field of view properly. The bezel-free design keeps the look clean, and 180Hz with 1ms response time means gaming feels fast and responsive. FreeSync support and 98% sRGB coverage round out a spec sheet that looks strong on paper.
The compromise, and it's an important one, is resolution. 1080p across 32 inches gives a pixel density of around 69 PPI. That's lower than ideal, and if you sit close to your screen you'll notice the pixels. For gaming at a normal sofa or desk distance it's more forgiving, but for productivity work or reading text it's not the sharpest experience.
Think of this as the big-screen, high-refresh-rate option for gamers who want maximum immersion on a budget. If you're playing racing games, sports titles, or anything where the wide curved view adds to the experience, this delivers that at a price that's hard to argue with. Just manage your expectations on pixel sharpness.
Pros
- Largest screen in the Gawfolk range
- 180Hz with 1ms for fast gaming response
- 1800R curve adds genuine immersion at 32 inches
- Bezel-free design looks clean
- FreeSync and VESA mount support
Cons
- 1080p at 32 inches is noticeably low pixel density
- Not ideal for productivity or text-heavy work
- No built-in speakers
