Looking at few monitor choices I have these two possible types around my price, say £400

29", Ultra wide, curved, 2560x1080, freesync, 75hz
27", 16:9, flat, 2560x1440, freesync, 75-144hz

I use it for desktop, gaming. Not a competitive gamer, but don't want to have a monitor which has lots of lag and terrible GTG.

Current monitor is 24" Samsung 245B, 1920x1200. TN panel. According to TFT central, it is a pretty good gaming monitor, with low input lag and decent GTG. 7.5ms input lag, 5ms response time.

I'm in the quandry of "want high res for desktop" but "too high res for gaming means low fps" and "low res monitor bit pants for fine detail in gaming" and "TN v IPS v VA" and "60hz versus 144hz" and "UW versus 16:9"

argh

Machine is intel x5670 oc to 3.8ghz, ATI 480 8GB, 24GB RAM.
