Currently I have 3 Monitors, each of them are 240hz but they're boring. I bought them originally for gaming but I don't game much anymore I just edit photos, draw on my drawing tablet, and edit videos for youtube so I've decided to look for a ips ultrawide because of the colours and because it would probably best fit my needs.

My budget is £1000 GBP and if possible I want a good looking monitor and with a refresh rate preferably over 100hz. I don't really wan t a 2560x1080 monitor I want a 3440x1440 monitor.

If you know any nice monitors I should put on the sides (2 monitors) leave them in the comments too, if you think one ultrawide is enough let me know too because I've never had a ultrawide.

Thing I have open 24/7:
  • Chrome
  • Spotify
  • Discord

^^ If that helps with me asking if one ultrawide is enough.

Specs: RTX 2080 + i7 8086k + 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

I'm eyeballing 2 ultrawides and honestly I cant choose, the colours on ips panels are known to be the best however the quaantum dot apparently features the same if not better colours for cheaper.

can someone explain?

I mainly focus on editing videos and watching movies/tv shows/youtube videos for 90% of my day and gaming for the other 10% so I need a beefy ish monitor. My PC has a 2080 and a i7 8086k so it can handle practically any 3 of them.

what would you say best fits me? this will be my first ultrawide and i dont want to make the wrong choice
 
This fits into the very same category as "which speakers should I buy for my sound system?". You are the only one that can answer that question through auditioning the various monitors and going with the one that looks best to your eyes. The specs are a starting point, however, what looks best to one person may be hideous to another.

3440x1440P *100hz would of been preferred but wasn't in the budget at the time as well as the GPU required to run games on higher settings. Anyways games look excellent on my LG and text looks fine (had to increase text size slightly in Windows).
