Hey guys!

I'm looking to buy a new monitor and I can't decide which one to buy between these 3, maybe you guys will have any opinion about them?

What I'm looking for in a monitor:
-21:9 Ultra wide
-srgb 99%

This monitor is going to be mainly use for modelling and texturing in Max/PS etc...
If I buy this one, I'm going to have a total of 3 monitors.

There's the 34'' 2560x1080 at 589$: http://www.ncix.com/detail/lg-34um65-p-34in-wide-screen-dc-98413-1202.htm

There's the 34'' 3440x1440 at 999$: http://www.ncix.com/detail/lg-34um95-p-34in-ultrawide-qhd-94-97392-1202.htm

And the big one 34'' Curved 3440x1440 at 1299$: http://www.ncix.com/detail/lg-34uc97-s-34in-curved-ultrawide-8b-104370.htm

Thank you for your advice!
Have a great day!

    Why ultrawide, why not straight up 1440p?

    Because I like to have spaces when I work. 3Ds max eats a lot of space and it would be a great upgrade to have even more space in it without detaching every tabs on another monitor.

    Just don't get anything with 2560x1080, 1080 is not enough vertical resolution. Other than that, I think everybody uses the same panels anyway, just make sure it's IPS and has the connections you want (and maybe no PWM backlight). There's also [ame="http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Digital-31MU97-B-31-0-Inch/dp/B00OKSEVTY"]this[/ame] one, with more res than 4K, not 21:9 but slightly wider aspect ratio.

    Okay so If I go with the 3440x1440, I'm going to have enough vertical pixel right?
    What exactly does the PWM backlight ?

    Thank you!

    EDIT: Knowing that I'm not going to use this monitor for print work, srgb 99% is enough right ?

    It might be enough for you, I currently have a 2560x1440 monitor, but would not get a 3440x1440 one just for more horizontal pixels, I'd rather go the next step straight to 4K (I was looking at a Phillips 40inch 4K display). PWM (pulse width modulation) means that lower than 100% brightness levels are achieved by quickly turning the backlight on and off, some people notice this as flickering and get headaches
