You need an IPS monitor because, as you mentioned, you’ll be using one or two IDEs for around 10 hours a day, which could lead to burn-in issues with an OLED. There are some good 34" IPS monitors, such as the **U3425WE** or **MAG401QR (flat)**.
However, if your work doesn’t require keeping the IDE open for 10 hours straight, then you can go with an OLED, such as the **Alienware AW3425DW**.
Save yourself some dough, and get a MSI MAG 401QR. It is sharp and good enough for productivity and the higher refresh rate is good enough for the occasional gaming. Although I almost always use it for productivity/coding purposes with the MBP M4.
