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 £189.99 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.

- 1500R curve suits the 34-inch size well

Here's the thing: UWQHD ultrawide at 165Hz with built-in speakers and 128% sRGB for Check price is a proper bargain. This flat IPS ultrawide sits in a sweet spot for anyone who wants the wide-screen experience without the premium price of the curved model above.
The IPS panel delivers accurate colours and wide viewing angles, which matters if you're doing any creative work alongside gaming. 165Hz is fast enough for most gaming scenarios, and Adaptive Sync keeps things tear-free. The built-in speakers are a nice touch at this price, though they're not going to replace a decent headset or external speakers for serious audio.
For productivity, the 3440x1440 resolution across 34 inches gives you a genuinely useful amount of screen real estate. Two browser windows side by side, a spreadsheet and a video call, a game and a Discord window. It all fits comfortably. This is one of the strongest all-round monitors in this best Gawfolk monitors under £200 UK 2026 selection for people who split their time between work and play.
The flat panel won't suit everyone who wants the curved immersion, but for those who prefer flat for productivity, this is the better choice over the curved ultrawide.
Pros
- UWQHD 3440x1440 resolution on a flat IPS panel
- 165Hz with Adaptive Sync
- 128% sRGB for strong colour coverage
- Built-in speakers included
- Excellent for combined work and gaming use
Cons
- Flat panel, no curve for immersive gaming
- Built-in speakers are basic quality
- Requires capable GPU for UWQHD at 165Hz

Best for Beginners
Not everyone needs a massive ultrawide. Sometimes you just want a compact, fast, reliable monitor that does the job without fuss. The Gawfolk 24-inch 200Hz VA is exactly that, and it's our pick for beginners getting into PC gaming for the first time.
The 24.5-inch size is the classic competitive gaming sweet spot. It's big enough to be comfortable, small enough that you can take in the whole screen without moving your head. The 200Hz refresh rate is genuinely fast and gives you plenty of headroom as your skills improve. You won't outgrow this monitor quickly.
VA panel technology gives deeper blacks than IPS, which helps in darker game environments. The 100% sRGB coverage is solid for colour accuracy, and the Eye Care features are a practical bonus for long gaming or work sessions. Setup is straightforward, which is exactly what beginners need.
The frameless design keeps it looking clean on a desk, and VESA 75x75mm mounting means you can put it on an arm later if you want. At £72.16 it's one of the more affordable options in this roundup and represents strong value for a first gaming monitor purchase.
Pros
- 200Hz refresh rate for fast, smooth gaming
- 100% sRGB colour coverage
- Compact 24.5-inch size suits most desks
- VA panel with good black depth
- Simple setup, ideal for first-time buyers
Cons
- 1080p resolution only
- No built-in speakers
- VA panels can have slower pixel response in some conditions

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%

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
