It's hard to know without knowing which areas you're willing to sacrifice.
LG do the very similar non-curved, lower refresh rate 34UM88 for around £500-550, as do competitors.
If you're happy with a lower resolution then you can pick up ultrawide 2560x1080 models at the same dpi for £150, or the same diagonal for £350.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
I saved for a LG 34UM88C-P ($900aud). Its not curved which knocked a few hundred dollars off the price. 34 in, IPS, 10 (8+) bit, 3440x1440, FreeSync (good with AMD).
Its now down to $800.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
You need to define some boundaries. I'm on the look out for a ultrawide too, but they haven't made one that meets my needs yet.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
I've seen the AOC U3477PQU for sub £500. I would be careful where you buy from though and avoid buying from places like Scan and OcUK.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
Hi guys,
Apologies for the late reply
Well I would like my monitor to be a curved, that is without question, with a fast response time and large resolution, preferable the 3440 x 1440. I know what I'm describing sounds like I want the best, however I'm convinced there are bargains out there. I will check out the Dell monitor, it's one that has popped up a few times actually. Actually something I would like is to connect my macbook to the monitor, preferably through a USB port or something. I can manage with older model monitor as I don't think there's much difference.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
I'm using the LG 34UC88 34-Inch Curved Ultra Wide WQHD IPS LED which I have found to be very good.
Especially for playing games like PES 2017 where you can practically see the entire pitch plus it doesn't use that many watts.
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
I would go for this https://www.scan.co.uk/products/34-l...mi-20-headphon its £569.99 so well within you budget
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
Yep - that's the one I bought

I'm seriously considering buying this one. How are you finding it?
Re: A good Ultrawide monitor
I've had it 3 months now. My main use is for video editing. It has heaps of 'acreage' for timelines. Also I read that flat screen helps with editing - no distortion. Combine that with a really good price and I was hooked.
IPS - the colour is good, though it seems only marginally better than my previous Asus TN VE-247 screen. My GPU/Display Port seemed to make a big difference though - much better colours with a Nano than with a gtx670.
The On Screen Display is easy to use - by joystick or OSD software - not that I've needed to do anything with it.
Forum's mentioned backlight problems. So I was ready to return it right away if I found it a problem. But no such bad luck - it's a beauty!
That's why I recommend it - great monitor; especially at the price.
