I agree, I’m getting around 90hz on Ultrawide, and with g-sync it’s just incredible. When I upgrade gpu (7nm) I look forward to 120hz, but up to 100hz is spot on for me, any extra is harder to see. I’d take Ultrawide curved over anything at this point, it’s just the balls.
144hz... Why did I not upgrade sooner?

Same here, been running @ 3440x1440 100Hz for a few weeks now and its rekindled my interest in gaming no end.
Ultrawide is just so much better than 16:9 it's not true.
Couldn't care if a monitor ran @ 50K 2000Hz if it wasn't ultrawide.
Depends on the size of the monitor tbh, I've a 40" 4K 16:9 and find my vision is filled when gaming, ultrawide offers nothing I don't already have other than less vertical viewing space and this is from someone who previously played on 3x27" monitors.
It's how much of your view is filled that's arguably more important IMHO.

I also can not go back to 60hz has to have gsync with 144hz or more, plus and I wont buy another monitor without ULMB/ELMB etc different manufactures call it different things,
but its same basically black frame insertion, making the motion clarity better and smoothness better then any 144hz, for me using 144hz seems like 60hz going to 144hz its basically the closest thing to CRT.(all we need now is gsync and ulmb working together)

High refresh rate priority over 4k/highest res every single day of the week for me. I tried my PC hooked up to my LG OLED the other week, what a horrendous experience compared to 144hz 1440p Freesync. And now I’m putting my eyes through hell by playing 4k30fps on Red Dead 2 
Where I’ve been used to 144hz freesync for about 2 years now, when my eyes see a frame rate drop under 100 or worst case 70, I really feel it. 60fps to me now might as well be 30fps. I’m never going back to non adaptive sync monitor, 4k is nice for films but for gaming it’s totally overhyped.

I regularly switch between playing Destiny 2 on the PC @ a locked 120FPS 1440p with G-sync and playing it on PS4. Whilst there is an immediate difference upon switching, I find myself adapting pretty quickly.
Which I prefer depends on the mood I am in (49" 4K TV vs 27" 1440 monitor).
As long as the game has consistent frametimes (no perceptible stutter), I find myself not caring as much about the raw framerate number.
This is what I really want.
I am keeping an eye on the Predator X35 to see how that turns out, maybe that will have it.
I have real trouble these days playing FPS on the TV & controller, just doesn't feel right anymore. The FPS as you say isn't really a problem, I think for me it's more the control scheme and the fact that I sit much further away from my TV I feel completely disconnected from the action compared to PC/Mouse&Keyboard.
There's definitely something weird with Uncharted 4. As @V4NT0M says above it "just doesn't feel right" after playing PC for the last six months. I've fiddled about with all kinds of settings like sensitivity, motion blur, etc. and I can't get it to a place I feel happy with. I don't know whether that is down to 30fps or something else. I don't think it's input lag as I'm using the same TV as I do for my PC so I dunno.
Perspective is the key here. I'm ultra fussy about audio and visual fidelity. When it comes to refresh rates however anything past 60 htz and a steady 60htz fixed when gaming I'm not all that fussed. I have a 120 htz ultrawide gaming monitor and when tested I couldn't really tell between 60 and 100 and 120. As for large tvs I very recently Aquired a lovely Panasonic oled tv and for gaming its more than acceptable to my eyes @ 60htz when feeding my pc to it (say Forza Horizon 4).
Not everyone needs or is bothered about massive framerates and ultra twitchy response times (the latter is much worse than higher framerates to me though)
As for me it equates to a lower cost as, I don't need loads of expensive 240htz gsync displays to feed my gaming habit as I honestly can't really tell a great deal. PQ, screen type, colours HDR and sound etc then absolutely. I win some I lose some here but it really grinds my shorts when people tell me I'm missing something and I'm stupid and blind when it's clearly a simple fact of I can't really see the difference and that's it.

One thing I've always wondered with these high framerate screens is whether game animations play at more than 60fps? Whilst your movements and mouse looking in game might be super smooth, are animations comparatively unsmooth?
animations are usually created in 30fps and interpolation is done to timing the movements to various fps.
144hz screens simply update twice as fast and people that cant see and feel the difference are usually bad at fps games anyhow.
I get a eyestrain and a headache with 60hz screens as its just how sensitive I am to various delays - the time input has vs what actually happens with the input.
Its how you become an ace in various fps shooters btw knowing how much delay there is between an action your doing vs how many milliseconds it takes to update the action done on screen.
it is why Dice BF games gone to crapper nowadays.
I have my first 144hz monitor in a box next to me at the moment (BenQ XL2411P). Currently gaming on a Dell IPS which I have to enable V-Sync on. Looking forward to seeing the difference. Anything I should do other than disable V-Sync in the games?
pubg you should really notice the difference.

Did this about 6-7 years ago tbh using the Tempest Overlord imported from California. Nothing quite like it at the time and i still have it and using it now.
The first time i went from 30 to 60hz was way back in 2008
