LG 34UM69G vs 34UC79G vs 34WK650

Hello!
looking to get new 34" 21:9 monitor mainly for office use, and image editing and I am debating between these 3 models.
I was going to get the 34UM69G 75ms 1ms which has good reviews, then I see a newer 34WK650 60ms just showed up with hdr support and looks better, also there is the curved 34UC79G 144hz but I am sure it is mainly for gaming use but maybe the curved screen on 21:9 looks better and worth the price difference?
Or maybe just go with the QHD 34UC88 and call it a day, it is over my budget but looks it is the recommended resolution to go with.
What is your opinions?

for 34" UW go 3440x1440. 2560x1080 will look a bit lousy.

font will be very small at 3440x1440

You can re-scale. I rescale slightly 5-10%. Rather have that, than low PPI.

1080p on such a large screen monitor will look bad. If you want to stick to 1080p then get a 29" UW.

Well, I will just pull the trigger on the 34UC88 and I hope it will be a good choice.

Hmm you said image editting. Probably not a good idea to get curved.

Only the curved version available for me.

I found 34UM88-P, this is the one?

Do you guys see going with the standard 1440p 32" will be a better choice as I won't game and while looking I saw the Benq PD3200Q, will this be better for image editing?

for 2560x1440p 16:9 I'd stick with 27". 109 ppi

Currently hav 27" 1440p.

Just wanted to add I recently convinced my office to get me the LG 34" 34UM88C (I think I have the right model number there, Thunderbolt 2.0 no Curve 3440x1440). It has been great to develop on and work in design software such as InDesign and Photoshop. I definitely recommend it and the higher PPI.

I read that the specific UM88 model suffer from very bad bleed

IPS display suffer from uneven bleed depending on luck really.
