Ultrawide recommendation

[patrickkq]

Hello everyone,

 

So I've been looking into buying mt first monitor and I have decide to buy an ultrawide. However, I have a hard time deciding between the following:

 

• LG UltraGear 34GK950F-B - seems like a great monitor but read a lot of reviews mentioning fabrication defects.
• Dell U3419W - really good reviews but only 60Hz 
• ASUS PA34VC - the most pricey among them 
• ASUS ROG Swift PG349Q  
• Alienware Alienware 34 

 

The main focus will be productivity and I also need good color accuracy as I periodically edit photos ( however I do not print them so not that interested into Adobe RGB coverage). My main pick was the LG monitor as it also has HDR and 144Hz refresh rate but I don't want a high possibility of a defective panel. 

Could anyone share their experiences with any of these monitors? Or does anyone have a better recommendation? Thanks!
