Advice on a curve ultrawide 2K up to 40” monitor

Greetings and salutation wonderful people of OCUK

In my last post I had great advice on my PC build, the beast is now up and running purring like a kitten.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
MSI 3080
32Gb RAM

Now its time to put the horsepower to some use and I was wondering if I could ask for some advice.
I am now in the market for a new monitor, I know what some will say but I would like to give a curved monitor a go for some emersion.
I was thinking of a curve ultrawide 2K up to 40” monitor with a budget of £700 but I can be persuaded to go over if it’s a wise investment though but also be happy to save some bucks.

I had read some articles and attached some videos but I was wondering if some one with real life experience could point me in the right direction and I am happy to continue with some research.

As always thank you in advance

I’ll never, ever go back to a 16:9 screen. Ultrawide for life yo! Something even 3440x1440p will be pushed along very nicely by your 3080.

Not sure how long you want to wait as a few months back log but check out the QD OLED from Samsung and Dell thread, 34 UW OLED possibly the best you can get currently.
Model number for dell : AW3423DW
You can read up on it.

Thank you both, I'm definitely looking forward to it and I'll have a look at the panel, I'm in no rush to receive as long as its worth the wait

There is a guy on the Monitors discord that gives out a 15% discount code to be used with that monitor. I used it and knocked it off around £160 from the price

If you ask if anyone is willing to give a discount code for Dell UK and some one should give one. Also don’t forget to use either Quidco or Topcashback to get extra money back.
