Took the plunge guys, hope I don't regret it!
Can't test it till Xmas day as bought this on behalf of the wife as my xmas pressie! Can't wait, not sure who will be more excited for xmas day my little 2 year old daughter or me!
Risky not testing until Xmas, in case you have horrible light bleed and want to return within the 2 week window! Brave man!!
Looking forward to the reviews of this:

Haven't heard anything about it yet, but it ticks all the boxes for me

Hmmm that looks monitor looks nice, hopefully it is just the pics that are wrong and not the spec list.... rip off though considering 29" 1080 are about £300 tops... I suspect that is the gsync tax though...
Wonder if it has the same issues with motion as the 35" VA monitors.

Yeah I know. At first I was unsure about the size, but it is definitely 21:9 - OCUK just have the wrong image. It is a lot of money, but tbh, 2560x1080 on a 30" super wide will probably be about the same, (likely better), pixel density as what I'm using now, which is a 32" 16:9 1080p TV.
EDIT: Actually it will be a lot better in terms of PD, unless I'm mistaken? My current screen has a PD of about 4739 PPI², whereas this should have around 8871PPI²

yes. pixel density will be higher. One thing to note is that your vertical space will be considerably smaller on the monitor than on the TV.
At 30'' 21:9 the monitor has the same height as a 24'' 16:9 TV:

Not a problem, but something you should be aware of!

Yup the physical vertical height will be smaller, however, the vertical real screen estate in terms of how much is shown/fitted on the screen will be the exact same as the 32" 16.9 1080P TV.
Pixel density will be considerably higher:
32" 1920x1080 = 68.84 PPI
30" 2560x1080 = 92.62 PPI

Good. If I do get a new screen, it may sadly at first feel like a downgrade of sorts as it will look smaller at first glance in comparison. It will be good though, as currently my 32" is so high that it affects my Track IR badly in the Y axis.
Something to think of, although I am concerned that £650 is a LOT for a 1080p VA screen. As said earlier in this thread, it's obviously the G-Sync tax...
After seeing what samsungs VA panels can or should i say CANT do im staying the heck away from any type of VA in the future.. I find them to bloody dreadfull.
Why's that?
Yup that is why I am also wanting to move to VA for my next monitor, a much higher contrast ratio with better black depth and without any IPS glow would far out weigh better viewing angles for me personally.
Only thing about VA monitors is that motion clarity can be hit and miss a lot of the time

Well to put it another way, it's a lower res than your current 2560x1440 so you should get better performance than you're currently getting
