55in 4K or 34" Ultrawide for Sim Racing Rig

asimrc

I race F1 2019 mostly on a Samsung 28" U28D590D 4k UHD 60hz.I have bought a Next Level Racing F-GT simulator rig. I want to get a dedicated screen for it. My current screen i will keep for non racing tasks. Just not sure which would be better option my PC will be able to run either with no issues.

 

2 options below:

 

1. Samsung UN55NU8500FXZA Curved 55" 4K UHD 8 Series Smart LED TV

For a racing simulator, I'd personally take the one with a higher refresh rate, in this case the Acer Predator X34. Resolution doesn't make a significant difference in racing sims (IMO) whereas refresh rate (coming from someone that plays a lot of racing games with a Logitech G27) does. Also, 55" sounds like a pain in the neck.
