Someday, when you put your big boy pants on, you might actually recommend something that is realistic for the majority of users, not some unrealistic upper stratosphere budget monitor that 99% of people will never spend the money for, and, for most people anyhow, that usually means less than 500 dollars. There is absolutely no reason you can't get a fantastic display for 300-500 dollars. None.
Paying more for a display is just trying to show off your ePeen to friends or strangers. Unless of course you are a professional gamer OR a person who uses the display professionally for work in the video game, graphic arts or other 3d design industries or something along those lines where it can be justified.
It's just not realistic for the majority of people to spend more than that, nor should it be.
Plus, MOST people I know who are very avid gamers, DISLIKE ultra-wide OR curved monitors for gaming. Too much hit on performance for the majority of people, for too little in return, plus most of us simply are bugged by the curved displays. And I assure you, I am talking about people wearing big boy pants. In fact, most of them run this site, so, let's not get carried away with statements like that.
dalton044, the problem though is that at 1440p 144hz the majority of displays either ARE curved, for the 27" models, or are larger, at 32". Seems the majority of 1440p 144hz displays with less than 5ms GTG response times that are worth looking at are ALSO larger than 27", much like my 32GK650F-B, so while I understand you don't want a monitor over 27", do you have issues with a curved display too?
I just think you're really limited in your options at that resolution because for the most part those features are reserved for larger panels. Honestly the majority of people I know personally with 27" displays, they are typically 1080p, but it's really on the cusp because I think 1440p is appropriate for anything that is 27" or larger. Manufacturers of good quality examples, well, there just aren't that many of those out there anymore at least if you want one that's flat too.
