Is the upcoming BenQ EX3501R worth the price?

Looking for an ultrawide monitor with 1440p, >=100hz, Freesync + LFC and ~1800R curve at max. 800€ (around 950$), I found this new monitor coming up. The data sheet looks sexy (especially the HDR10 feature, even though some critics say they've no idea how it should work with that display), but I'm wondering what you guys are thinking. I'll use it mostly for gaming and movies or stuff like coding.

 

Was also looking at the Philips 349X7FJEW, but the BenQ seems to be better.
I don't really want to import displays, especially because of the 21% taxes I'd have to pay and the problematic support in case of problems like dead pixels.

Any tips or suggestions?

Sounds eccentric but I'm avoiding Ultra-wide monitors for now. Most of the Anime industry still makes content in 16:9 meaning black bars on an your shiny new tech.

In my personal use I mostly Photoshop, some games and the occasional movie (Like the new blade runner). But mostly cartoons! (wabbadubdub).

In upgrade terms I personally am shooting for a Dell P2715Q or a LG 27UD88-W.

In strictly gaming terms I think it's too early to adopt Ultra-wide for price to resolution numbers, I value PPI over viewing angles *shrug*

 

Not so much a direct answer. But I felt I'd share my piece.
