LG and Acer XV340CKP from that list are 144hz

It'll be entirely subjective but from what i've gathered around:
Curved -
Pros
more immersive for entertainment + gaming

Cons
Not so much for creative work. Straight lines may look distorted especially if u are ocd. Had to sit in a fixed position/angle to enjoy the immersion fully. But not a big issue for most.

After trying out around, I'm using the Acer flat xv340ckp as one of my displays for some coding work and luckily didn't go the curved route. 144hz is not compulsory but a bonus for me. Occasional movie + gaming is still nice and smooth. But my LG 27gl850 (not ultrawide) excels a little bit on overall panel quality in terms of colour, response and usability.

Edit: u would appreciate 1440p more for the extra vertical length. Unless u use a normal wide 1080p as 2nd display and rotate it vertically purely for coding. Having said that, u definitely won't go wrong with a 1440p.

Best if u go and test them out yourself and see which one u prefer better.

You should consider local warranty support as well and how long it covers. Good luck!

Specs only 1 part of the story. The actual usability and quality of the panel is another side of it which is more important. Wait for proper reviews.

If u don't mind flat panel, Acer xv340ckp is not a bad choice too. IPS, 1440p, 144hz. I have one using mainly for work, occasional movies & FPS, RPG games. And cheapest of the bunch u mentioned <1.9k.

I'm using triple monitor mount - Brateck LDT07-C036 with ACER XV340CKP and LG 27GL850, ignoring the middle mount.
Quite solid for the price but only cons for me is no individual mount height adjustment.

A monitor arm for both monitors will definitely help solve your space issue.

Another option is to get 48" 16:9 i.e. LG CX but overhyped TV.

I have both LG27GL850 and ultrawide Acer XV340CKP, found that LG is a tad warmer compared to bluish Acer's no matter how much i set on both. Probably XV272 has better panel. Having said that, i prefer LG's joystick navigation as it is easy to adjust brightness, menu settings on the fly. Acer is abit more tedious as u need to dive into the layers of menu using separate buttons hidden at the back of monitor. U may use Acer's own app to override this but not intuitive enough for me at least. Ultimately still depends on your preference and usage.

It was partly due to rtings review that made up my mind on purchasing the LG earlier 😉

Dell's latest 40" Ultrawide. Keeps getting bigger. What's next, 60" ?

Nice monitor

I find LG's has one of the best control in the form of only 1 joystick (4 directional). Very easy to use. Only gripe is it takes a few steps to switch between inputs regularly but not a big deal.

A 27" non-Ultrawide (16x9) is more or less the same height with a 34" Ultrawide (21x9). In fact 34" Ultrawide is slightly higher.

Using Microsoft Edge browser working fine for my 34".
