Any new ultra-wides on the horizon?

My Acer X34P is exhibiting some weirdness. Either the brightness or colour temperate changes on its own accord. This happens when connected to my gaming PC or either of my Macs using DP or HDMI. I've also factory reset it to no avail.

Since it's quite a few years old I'm looking for a replacement. Ideally looking for 140 hz as a minimum and I guess if HDR is available that would be a bonus.

Ideally I'd like USB-C with PD as well as HDMI and DP. I'd also like it to work above 50 hz with my Mac.

I get decent discount with Dell so if it's Alienware then I guess that's the bonus. I see the AW3821DW but I was curious if anything else is on the horizon?
 
In the 38" space, the Alienware and LG ones are the only real options... Personally, I have had an AW3821DW and it's honestly been awesome! I'll be keeping it for many many years!
Cheers. It does look lovely and a little bit bigger than my X34. The only thing is the lack of (or what I can tell) true HDR and USB-C.
 
My X34 P is a pain, it takes ages to get to the menu to switch inputs if it's coming out of sleep.

I have the AW3821DW in my basket and with discount I can get it for £1,039.94 direct from Dell.
 
I've managed to convince myself so I've ordered the monitor. Should be here by Tuesday, I'm looking forward to testing it out.
