I had 4 different ultra wide monitors the last few months and 3 of their display broke by the first punch during a competitive game.

they were LCD or OLED.

So expensive yet it can barely withstand a punch...

if you can reach ultrawide with a punch, you sitting too close to it.

It all makes sense, back when games and hardware was rage inducing it was required to withstand a punch and some were required to break your hand.
Todays hardware is waybetter and most games arent that rage inducing anymore so its not nessecary anymore for monitors to tank punches. Think about it.

It'd be hard to punch through a C.R.T., but if you somehow managed would be an implosive disaster with sharp glass shards, metal wires and poisonous phosphors so maybe don't.

Besides, this is a job for a punching bag, not a monitor.
