Best curved, ultra wide gaming monitor for under £/$300?

That basically, ideally under £225~ but can stretch to 300. It needs to be at least 30 inch and go well with an i7 5th gen and a 6gb 1060 GPU. I'd like it to be curved and have a HDMI/ DisplayPort, but I understand that may be a problem. Oh and finally has to be the ultra wide equivalent of 1920 x 1080 and have decent latency and refresh rates. Thanks!

 

Oh BTW doesn't have to be new either ?

I don't think you'll find a 1440p UW monitor in that budget, so I wouldn't bother with something bigger than 30". You're basically stuck with a handful of 29" monitors.

You won't find any new monitors that fulfill your requirements. You will have to sacrifice either size or quality.

 

The best that I know of would be LG 34UM69G-B. But its 350GBP. 29 inc model is around 300.

 

As for the curve, I use 34 inch UW with a slight 3800R curve that doesn't really do anything. I think if you want curved monitor, you have to look at around 2000R +/- 300 if you want to have its benefits.
