Absolutely — for a PC gamer who also streams, an ultrawide can be a great choice because you get:

  • More horizontal space for game + chat + OBS/browser/Discord
  • Immersive gameplay in supported titles
  • Better multitasking than a standard 16:9 monitor

What to look for

For gaming + streaming, the sweet spot is usually:

  • 34-inch 3440×1440: best balance of sharpness, performance, and price
  • 39–45-inch ultrawide / super-ultrawide: more workspace, but needs a stronger GPU and more desk space
  • Refresh rate:
    • 144Hz+ ideal for competitive and smooth gameplay
    • 120Hz acceptable for productivity-focused setups
  • Panel type:
    • OLED for best contrast/response time
    • IPS for bright, reliable all-around use
    • VA for strong contrast, but can be slower in dark transitions
  • Stand/ergonomics + USB hub/KVM if you want easier streaming workflows

Strong ultrawide recommendations

Best overall for gaming + streaming

LG 34GS95QE-B

  • 34", 3440×1440, OLED, very fast response
  • Great motion clarity for gaming
  • Excellent for streamers who want a premium all-rounder
  • Tradeoff: OLED burn-in considerations and generally higher price

Why it’s good: vivid image, excellent black levels, and enough space for OBS/chat alongside your game.


Best value high-end option

Alienware AW3423DWF

  • 34", 3440×1440, QD-OLED, 165Hz
  • One of the most popular ultrawides for gamers
  • Fantastic contrast and color
  • Better value than many premium OLEDs

Why it’s good: strong mix of gaming performance and productivity, with a lot of screen space for streaming tools.


Best non-OLED all-rounder

Gigabyte M34WQ

  • 34", 3440×1440, IPS, 144Hz
  • Great for mixed gaming/productivity use
  • Usually significantly cheaper than OLED options
  • Also often includes KVM, which is useful if you use multiple PCs or devices

Why it’s good: less risk and better affordability, while still giving you plenty of room for stream management.


Best premium super-ultrawide

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9

  • 49", 5120×1440, OLED, high refresh
  • Huge workspace — like two 27" 1440p monitors side by side
  • Excellent for streaming setups with lots of windows
  • Tradeoff: expensive, large, and needs a powerful GPU

Why it’s good: amazing for having game, chat, OBS, and browser all visible at once.


Best curved productivity + gaming balance

LG 49WQ95C-W

  • 49", 5120×1440, IPS, 144Hz
  • Massive screen space for multitasking
  • Great if you prioritize streaming workflow and general productivity
  • Not as contrast-rich as OLED, but excellent for long sessions

Why it’s good: very practical if your stream setup involves many windows and you don’t want OLED concerns.


My quick picks by budget

If you want the best gaming image

  • Alienware AW3423DWF
  • LG 34GS95QE-B

If you want the best practical streaming setup

  • Gigabyte M34WQ
  • LG 49WQ95C-W

If you want the biggest “wow” factor

  • Samsung Odyssey OLED G9

A couple of important notes

  • Ultrawide support varies by game. Some older titles may need tweaks, and some competitive games may have black bars or limited support.
  • Streaming at the same time is easier with more width, but your GPU needs to handle both the game resolution and encoding workload.
  • If you play a lot of esports titles and want maximum FPS, a 34-inch 3440×1440 is usually the safest choice.

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a budget / midrange / premium shortlist,
  2. recommendations based on your GPU, or
  3. a best ultrawide for both gaming and OBS multitasking list.
