google lg 25" ultrawide It's cheap but looks really short due to the aspect ratio

For 150 USD you're not gonna get a decent ultrawide, unless you are gonna look at Korean monitors but you are gonna pay quite a bit in shipping and when and if the product is faulty: shipping it back for warranty will be an annoying thing.

As for cheapest Ultrawides you should look at: LG 29UM58 and 25UM58-P.

Some ultrawides are discontinued and thus have a (slightly) reduced price in stores.

i would attempt to stretch your budget to 200$. You can get a great 1080p 29in ultrawide for that price.

I bought this one on sale for 200$.

ive seen it drop as low as 180$ on black friday

this one looks like a good choice however. just a smaller version of the 29in

25" Ultrawides aren't worth it. I have one and I would have rather gotten a 25" 16:9. Get a 29" one if you can, if you can't then just stay with 16:9
