So long story short, I moved house and managed to damage my my monitor. It did need replacing in fairness as it's the one part of my setup which hasn't changed in a long time. In case the wife finds this board somehow I want to state I absolutely didn't damage it on purpose because I wanted a new one!

I'm at a point where I just simply feel lost trying to pick a monitor. I was hoping to find something along the lines of a 34" curved 1440p HDR100 but they seem few and far between. I'd be happy to go higher in terms of screen size to mee that but I tried a 49" super-wide but I did find it slightly uncomfortable. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
I have one very like this:

AOC 34" CU34G2XP 3440x1440 VA 180Hz 1ms FreeSync Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor

Order AOC 34" CU34G2XP 3440x1440 VA 180Hz 1ms FreeSync Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor now online and benefit from fast delivery.

It doesn't have the HDR, but for what I do (work all day, some casual gaming) it works very well for me.

/edit wait it does have HDR, just not sure if it's HDR100 - apologies

Dunno if OCUK sell it but the Liyama G-MASTER GCB3480WQSU-B1 - Solid monitor that meets all your needs and comes with some HRD capability... Also doesn't cost the earth and is a really nice panel.

What's your budget?

What will you use the monitor for? Are you a gamer?

Hey yeah I am a gamer and I've got a backlog of games to get through. No am.planning to build a new rig later in the year.

Budget wise I can push to £1200 if necessary. But ideally like to keep it at approx £800

The Alienware QD OLED is pretty much top of the list for your use and budget.

Either the 34" UW or the 4K 16:9 32".

Aw3225QF from me aswell, 4K 1800r curve (very slight) it’s not UW but if you’re CPU & GPU are upto it it’s a brilliant monitor. Edit: on sale atm from Dell uk , if you can get a discount code it’ll come in under £800
