My monitor has recently failed and I'm trying to decide what to replace it with? My initial thoughts are whether to buy another 34"ultrawide , as I quite like the form factor, or whether to switch to a 32" 1440p/4k monitor instead? I could maybe manage a 38" ultrawide on my desk but the price seems to jump considerably with 38" displays so perhaps better sticking to 34"?
I'm not sure whether it's worth bothering with a higher refresh rate model as I've generally been happy with the 60hz on my current though presumably higher is better. Most 1440p monitors seem to be 100hz+ these days. Price wise I guess around £500 though I'd spend more if it provided a worthwhile improvement.
In terms of my usage it's generally for productivity, browsing and programming. I do like a bit of gaming occasionally but mainly sim stuff like elite or euro truck and strategy games. Plus a bit of retro emulation.
Would appreciate any advice and suggestions. What have others in this situation done?
