I've had my Acer X34 since they day they first came out, some years ago now, it overclocked well to 100hz the IPS glow is a more than I'd like but I've put up with it fine.

Now I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket I'm wanting to change the by far oldest item in my setup. I see a few gems on the horizon but there all £2k+ which although I'm a late 2018 OLED LG owner I can't get my head round spending the same sorta cash on a monitor.

Is there anything out there which would be a worth while upgrade from mine for up to £1200/1400? I see there's 120hz monitors out there and I want to stay UW if I can but 20hz doesn't seem worthwhile unless there's something I'm missing?
 
Not sure I want to go back to 16:9, and I sit a little close for 43" as well, plus 43" 4k will only have the sameish dpi as a 34" UW 1440p, so not gaining anything there either....
 
Yeah might thoughts as well, the only thing is the LG coming later in the year the 1600p one that's going to be over £2k is rumored to only have HDR400 as well. If that's the case might as well buy now.
 
I've been thinking what I'll be gaining if I wait and SAVE for the £2k+ monitors coming in a couple of months over buying a LG34GK950F now. After watching Linus' video on the PG35VQ he was limited in running the full spec's of the monitor due to the current display port. He settled on 10-bit colour and 144hz, well if I'm mistaken that's what the current LG 34" does now? All I'm gaining on top is proper HDR. That alone isn't worth £1k+ to me.
