Need assistance choosing an ultrawide monitor.

There are plenty of threads with this question already but I wanted to give my specifications and see what the community suggests. First off my system.

 

Ryzen 7 1700x (Not overclocked.... yet)

16gb corsair vengence lpx DDR4 3200mhz

ZOTAC AMP RTX 2080 

 

Currently running triple Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screens that only run at 60hz.

 

I solely game on the system, I don't do anything else. I was contemplating upgrading the 1700x to the 3900x but it seemed pointless since my monitors are really the only thing holding things back at the moment.

 

I'm looking to upgrade to a 30" plus display to replace the triple monitor setup.

 

I would like 144hz and a resolution of 3440x1440 Ultrawide 21:9. (144hz is "I would like" it is not necessarily a requirement if I can still get that buttery smoothness anywhere between 100hz through 144hz I'm fine with that as well)

 

I'm not sure I need HDR since I won't be watching movies on the display.

 

I'm not sure I would notice a 10bit panel from an 8bit panel for gaming but I really don't know.

 

I would like to keep it under 700 dollars but I can add more if the features would truly make a difference. Again I will just be using it for gaming.

I have a predator 32 ultra wide gsync 100hz one.

 

i would recommend getting at least 144hz.

 

and I wouldn’t recommend fps game on it, it is way too wide. Other games are quite enjoyable and ultrawide is quite good for productivity.

I was about to rec my Predator 34 Little brother. for the price and I honestly cant tell the difference between the 120 hz and the 144hz other then price, also it comes with a stand I did not like so I mounted it with a $19 amazon basic wall mount

best resource i know of to search through reviewed monitors is.

Add columns as needed to filter and search for monitors bassed on spec and test results.

 

Here is a filter for 21:9 displays with other important results.

its important to go by thorough competent reviews, as manufacturer specs can only tell u so much, some of which are very misleading (such as response time)
