Looking for budget ultra wide monitor

Can anyone make any suggestions for an ultra wide 2560 × 1080 monitor tha5 will be run by an RX480 or RX580? I'd love to have Freesync but those two features together are hard to find under $200.  I realize I might be asking too much for a budget monitor, in that I'm looking for 5ms or less, freesync, and 2560 x 1080.  Thanks in advance.

The only ones you are going to get are the 25" ones. They are extremely small and very weird.

I would not  getting a 25" 21:9 monitor save up to around $250 and grab a 29" LG 29UM67P

Pictures VV It just felt like a short but long 16:9 monitor, doesn't really live to  the "Ultrawide" experience  (next to a 21.5" 1080p monitor)

I wouldn't recommend a 25" ultrawide, they're too small, but they're the only ones in your range.

 

If I were you I'd save up another $50-$100 and get a 29um67 (sometimes they go on sale to $250 or so). It's 29" 2560x1080 75 hz and even has freesync which is a nice bonus for you.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
