This is what you want for movies and gaming:

 

LG 29um67 - 29inch, IPS, 2560x1080, 75hz, freesync

 

Seems to be in your budget.

 

 

 

Or any of these if you suddenly win the lottery:

 

LG 34um67 - 34inch, IPS, 2560x1080, 75hz, freesync

Acer xr341ck - 34inch, IPS, 3440x1440, 75hz, freesync
