Full Disclaimer: You'll love it or hate it. It's not "high end" and the resolution is only 2560 x 1080 (1080p, not 4K), but it's within your budget, new from a major store. The higher end monitors are about $100 more, and possibly worth saving for.
You guys are on 5k now?! That is crazy. I am still on a 2560 x 1080p ultrawide 34' LG monitor.
Here with a 21:9 IPS LG, 2560x1080. 34 inch is perfect for that resolution. Great for gaming, but some games are locked at 16:9 For work and Adobe, superb
After upgrading from 34 to 45, I really love the height, definitely not too tall. After a few months I would even consider a bigger 21/9 if they ever make one.
34". All the way. We have had AOC x 2 with zero issues, great monitor. My lad is currently on an LG 34" which seems to be fine, little bit of bleed. My daughter is also on a 34" Viewsonic, i'm on a 49" uw. My two main gaming buds are also 34". Both with 3060s. For gaming, gotta be 34" curved, it's a beautiful thing. Imo, i would stay away from nzxt myself.
