Get the

240hz vs 144hz also under £1K and 3 years burn in warranty.

That's a nice deal m8, was released at £700 more (crazy)! Guess a lot of high-end stuff is having problems shifting atm.

It's also got some custom features no other ultrawide has as far as I know (it has a zoom in function) so in fps games whatever you're focused on is zoomed in on, on a portion of the screen. Quite cool when I saw it in a random video review, but can't find it now.

Yeah saw that, hilarious!! Unsure quite how useful it'd be irl though...

shame that philips monitor is in silver/white, would ruin my all black design.

Ah I see, then if the 144hz is good enough for you, go ahead with your original choice.

I got the co49dq and I'm pleased with it - 144hz is enough for a casual gamer like me. The KVM is nice touch and works great switching wireless mouse & keybopoard from my home PC / work laptop.
The only gripe I'd have is the port placement which is has the ports pretty low and means straight cables can be seen hanging below the monior - I sorted that with angled cables and have a nice clean setup now, especially compared to the previous 2 x 2k monitor setup.
