Better values than the Odyssey G9?

[Unclescar]

Right now I'm on a decade old 27" Dell 1440p 59hz screen. Its starting to show its age and regularly glitches the bottom 25% when turning the screen on or waking it up. This issue eventually corrects itself but the computer is mostly unusable until it does (can take up to 20 mins sometimes). My second screen is worse, a 24" Asus 1080p 120hz screen with absolute garbage color accuracy and terrible contrast even when manually adjusted; the higher refresh rate does not redeem it.

 

I've been wanting to upgrade for a long time now, but my increasingly failing main screen tells me I need to prepare for it. I don't mind spending a lot for quality and features, I obviously don't upgrade often, so whatever I upgrade to is going to be my screen for the next decade.

 

I've been looking at the Odyssey G9, it has pretty much all the features I like. I don't need super fastest refresh rate or response time, I'm a fairly casual gamer, but anything is better than 59hz and 15ms response time.. Gsync/freesync are huge upgrades too.

I've wanted an ultrawide for productivity for a long time (I do CNC programming and toolpath modeling, some autocad and a touch of photoshop and video editing) and a super ultrawide is even more enticing.

I am already very comfortable with 1440 vertical resolution at roughly 110ppi, and the higher end of color accuracy is a must.

 

What other ultrawide 1440p high-color-accuracy 'gaming' options are there that might be better value that have a good balance of these higher end features? looking sub $1200.

if you need it to be uw and sub 1200 that basically narrows it down to the g9 and 34gn850. I'm biased since the g9 gave me a headache.

The LG 34GP83A-B is also an option. Basically the same as the 34GN850, but the newer model and maybe easier to find.
