If you really want the 40" over 34" then go for it.

its not about 40 or 34, its just i have been looking and 34's then i noticed this and thought wow..

34uw is like a wide 27
so i thought a 40 would be like a wide 32??

ive never seen a 40, thats what im saying and for the price it right in the mid price for 34's, so im thinking there is a reason

check some video reviews of it first, and see what they say about it before committing.
 
It's low resolution for the size. That's probably the main down side. If it's cheap then it's probably not the best panel. It's up to you to pick where you want to sit on the price/quality spectrum. For reference the top end consumer monitor for 40 inch UW would be the Dell U4025QW at £1600.
 
40" IPS 155Hz just not that special these days apart from the size. For pure gaming it will look good but the low pixel density would stick out a bit in Windows. Maybe not an issue.

Could you stretch to one of these? £720 refurb.

Huge pixels and crap HDR...

If you don't care about HDR and have poor eyesight then probably not too bad, but otherwise I'd avoid!

The AW ultrawide suggested above would be a much better purchase. Same number of pixels, slightly smaller sure, but much nicer ones :p

If you can wait, then I'm pretty sure they can go on sale regularly and be picked up new for less than the £720 refurb price mentioned above. If your employer uses Dell hardware, you might also be able to get a further discount code through their Employee Advantage scheme.

If you must go bigger than 34", I'd recommend a 38" 3840x1600 screen over 40" 3440x1440

I was just about to post this.

I went from a 34" 3440x1440 (100Hz) screen to a 38" 3840x1600 (175Hz) screen and although not a massive jump that extra vertical screen space is much welcome. Makes me want to jump to 4k at greater than 38" but that might just be too big.

This is why I looked at the 40 as a 34 is just a wider 27 so I thought it would feel to small on the vertical.

I’ll look up a few 38”

I wanted a 1440 uw or I’m also thinking standard 4k.
