Any thing but that... 2560x1080p is a resolution meant for 29inch.

 

If you want a 34inch one you should go for 3440x1440p... Now that nVidia will support FreeSync and considering 3440x1440p can be demanding even to the RTX 2070 to where super high refresh rate doesn't seem much the case I'd actually recommend you this one:

 

LG 34UC88-B

 

It has FreeSync up to 75hz, while the much more welcome 3440x1440p resolution with one of the finest IPS Matte screens on the market... great colour quality.

As mentioned above, 2560x1080 is more suited for 29" monitors. A 2070 is plenty to run that. If you want to get a 34-35" monitor, 3440x1440 is a much better suited resolution. A 2070 should be able to do over 60 fps, but 100+ might be asking a little much. But if you want 144Hz, then by all means go for the one you have listed.
