It's $499 at LG's website too, and you forgot to mention G-Sync compatibility.

If you can find an ultrawide 4K for around that price, let us all know.

I have the LG 34GP83A-B which I purchased in Nov 21 and is basically the same thing as this monitor. I paid $799 CAD for it then which I thought was a good price. For $499 USD this is a great price for a monitor you can game on and work. Since this is a non OLED screen no need to worry about burn in.

This is a Freesync Premium display which is also has G-Sync compatibility

UW's are nice without a doubt. But remember they are of less screen area than a conventional 16:9 32". My one son has a 32" QHD. My other son has a 34" UWQHD, and the difference in real estate is significant. Yet my 2nd son won't give up his UW. (I asked them both 3 times if they would switch...each said no) UW are really good for programming (which my son does)

UW monitors also have 34% more pixels to push by your GPU. And not every game supports UW aspect. Also, they are typically more expensive.

I'm usually the first to complain when someone calls a 1920×something monitor a "2K".
But this use is a too far in the other direction. :-þ

There do exist ultrawide 2560×1080 monitors. I would call those "2K" though.

So, if a product description says "3440×1440" and "2K", then one of the figures must be wrong.
Ultrawide 2K monitors are more likely to be sold at about this price, I'd be leaning towards the former.
I'd also start questioning what else might be wrong in the description, making me more inclined towards dismissing that seller outright.

There is also the QHD / WQHD / UWQHD moniker, but I've also seen that misused.
