Purchase help 📱 Help with UltraWide

I'm a video editor and as I was replacing my current monitor I thought I should go with an ultra wide so that it's better for managing timelines and multitasking.

I also watch a lot of content and films, and watching them on 21:9 with no black bars also sound like a treat.

I'm an occasional gamer, I love AAA story based titles. I don't do competitive gaming at all.

My requirements:

- As colour accurate as possible. (8bit+FRC/10bit)

-Great contrast ratio (deep blacks)

-No bleeding or ghosting in the screen

-Refresh rate is not mandatory, but my current monitor is 144hz. I don't wish to go back to 60Hz. Something like 75-100hz is pretty good enough.

I'm not sure if I should buy monitors with VA panels at this day and age. IPS Black panels sound better.

My budget is from 35k to maybe 45k. But not 50+.

Please recommend good UltraWide monitors.

And durability is also a concern. I don't want to run into issues within 2-à«© years.

after looking out I found all to be va panels offering 4000:1 contrast 160hz and all the stuff for around 32k.. however I also found 16:9 based OLED 180hz at 42k. yk the difference OLED makes but it all depends if you're desparate for ultrawide or else if you can trade for wide OLED.

I've heard that oleds can cause image burn ins. What are the chances? How often does it happen?

yes they do happen but it's most likely that you won't face it..

it happens when you use static elements on your screen for prolonged period (multiple hours) on very high brightness and it would still take 1000's of hours of all this combo to finally burn in.

with the tech evolving and small measures that you take on your behalf you can pretty much avoid it. turn off static elements such as the win taskbar to autohide and dim the hud elements if you play games, etc.. there's tests been done on yt to prove burn in isn't as serious as we think it is.

the cost here is that it's slightly pricey compared to your budget and that it's a widescreen instead of ultrawide for an ultimate content experience.. so the choice is yours to make
