Still available for $170. Next best price is from Walmart [walmart.com] at $185.
Older thread from 2020 w/ +19 TU at $255 if you wanted to see previous user comments on this monitor. Looks like last time this monitor was $170 was during Black Friday of 2022, posted here.

UWFHD on a 30 is frigging normal. Geez, it's not like it has any vertical extra dimensions or anything than a 24 inch FHD monitor. It's 30 because of the extra length, dudes. So are you saying 1080p is TOO low for a 24 inch monitor? Because that's what ya'll sound like.

PPI of 102 and it seems like 100-110 is the preferred range (from what I read after googling for 3 seconds so take that with a grain of salt)

A 30" ultrawide at 2560x1080 (21:9 aspect ratio) is roughly a 24" 1920x1080 (16:9 standard aspect ratio) monitor with additional horizontal space and pixels added, giving it the same PPI (it is not 1920x1080 stretched out over 30").

This is NOT the same as a 27" or 32" 1920x1080 monitor (16:9 standard aspect ratio), which has a lower PPI due to the same amount of pixels stretched over a larger space. So, if you are okay with a 24" 16:9 1080p monitor (or a 32" 16:9 1440p monitor), this will have the same pixel density.

I think people see 1080p and 30" and don't understand the resolution is not 1920x1080, and this is not a 16:9 monitor.

I went from 1440p to 1080p because I found a great deal on 2x 1080p 240hz monitors. When setting up the first 1080p next to my old 1440p, the difference was massive, but now that I only use 1080p, I've gotten use to the difference so much that I don't notice. I play a lot of FPS, hence the downgrade to 1080p and upgrade to 240hz. 1440p 240Hz+ monitors are pricey!

You're dead on correct here, sir. This monitor is over 100 ppi and basically the same height as a 24 inch 1080p. Good site to view/compare here: http://www.displaywars.com/30-inc...-inch-16x9
