since you're already used to ultrawide at home, i'd lean into that for work too. the 34" format is great for dev work because you can have your editor and browser side by side without the neck strain of dual monitors.
for your budget, check out the dell u3423we or lg 34wp85c-b. both are 34" ultrawides with good color accuracy and usb-c, which is clutch for cable management. they're around 60hz but honestly for coding work the extra refresh rate matters way less than screen real estate and resolution.
if you really want higher refresh, the samsung viewfinity s8 (s80pb) hits 4k at 60hz in a 32" but might stretch your budget. personally i'd prioritize panel quality and size over refresh rate unless you're gaming on lunch breaks lol
one thing to consider: if you go ultrawide, you might not even need that second monitor anymore. just use virtual desktops or a good window manager to split your workspace
I adore my current LG monitors (2x 34” IPS, 1x 27” IPS), but they’re fairly old now, lack the OLED displays, and I’ve been concerned about upgrading cause larger form factors have had pixel density issues. This seems like the perfect mixture of size, tech, and would fix perfectly into my mixed work from home and gaming setup.
I have LG IPS 34, no complaints for either work or gaming (except for window arrangement). I was very used to dual 27, but neck turning was a problem for sure
