It will be a nice looking IPS display with thin bezels, only things to keep in mind are: 

 

1) It's a glossy screen so if it's going to be placed somewhere with a lot of light hitting it directly then you may get a lot of reflections, but if that isn't an issue for you then it's fine. 

2) Some people don't like the 27" format for a 1080p display as they find the resolution too small for the size, making things look a little less sharp or w/e. If that is something you're worried about you could get the smaller brother the S2340L for about £100 less

I like the size to be a little bigger 27 inches but I need it <£200 the glossy doesn't matter to me :) curved and ultrawide is nice but it's really! really! expencive! Ooo wait I found a ultrawide in my price range.

If you like the bigger screen and glossy doesn't matter then yeah it's a great choice :) 

 
And yeah that's the cheapest 29" ultrawide available I believe, that and the 29UM57, and if you have an AMD card you can get the freesync version, the 29UM67.
 
There are cheaper ultrawides at 25" but I wouldn't recommend them, the vertical height is a little bit too small imo, the 29" ultrawides are the height of a 24" 16:9 display, and the 34" ultrawides the height of a 27" 16:9 display.

Do any of them support like eye care of any sort, low blue light and flicker free? I have been using TV's which was a big mistake they have perma damaged my eyes, I get headaches when I  look at them..

Well I think you're better off going with either the 29UM57 or the -67 if you have an AMD GPU, over the 29UM55, because they all come in at similar prices, and the 2 newer ones have a few added features, obviously the -67 has freesync up to 75Hz, but both the -57 & -67 have Dynamic Action Sync (basically reduced input lag) and black stabilizers so you can see things better in darker scenes while gaming or w/e. 

 

Everything else is kind of the same though, all 3 are TUV certified for 'flicker safe' which is basically flicker free with some low blue light added if you use the reading mode. Or you can use the application F.lux to reduce blue light anyway.

I don't have a AMD Gpu so there is no point going with the 67 as it just makes it more expensive so I'll go with the 57 and I'll constantly keep it on reading mode :P unless I am gaming.

Thanks for all your help you have been great, like seriously thanks :)

You gona save those 30$ and when you next time upgrade your gpu have NO freesync?

You`ll just have yourself to blame.
