Some kind of KVM is a must if you use the same monitor for work. It's nice to have it integrated into the monitor if you're only using the one ultrawide. I like IPS for work and not having to worry about burn-in. I'm not a heavy gamer, but I also have the 34" Alienware with the same IPS panel but no KVM. I bought that first and liked it so much I bought the U3417w for the office. They're fine for me. I won't get into the whole panel type debate. LOL

Absolutely love the setup.!
I have two 40in MSI monitors I use for trading and a 34in curved Dell for work (I also work from home).
I'm concerned this would be TOO big. What's your desk setup like and use case?
I'm currently in monitor decision paralysis mode myself.
I've been using a Dell 34" ultrawide for years that I loved. I decided to finally treat myself to a new, bigger monitor and found a smoking deal on a 49" G9. I hated it at first. It felt too big and I couldn't figure out a solution for blurry text on my mac, so I immediately ordered a Dell 40" 5K2K.
Over the next few days while waiting for the Dell to be delivered, I got used to the 49" and was starting to like it. The Dell showed last night and while I am in love with the crisp display, it now feels small and tbh, I prefer the additional width over height.
I'm going to give it a few days to see how I like it, but I'm considering trying something else or going back to the 49" and dealing with the blurry text.
