I’ve been using an ultrawide since 2017 and I have no desire to go back. If anything I want to get an even wider monitor next time. My advice is to make sure that you don’t get a 1080p ultrawide. The 1440p versions are well worth the price difference. Had a 34” 2560x1080 monitor at work one time and it felt really claustrophobic compared to the 34” 3440x1440 I had at home.
I also have 3440x1440 curved at home and flat at work. My personal recommendation is to get a curved one. But if I have to shop now for a monitor, I will simply get a 4K flat. 32-34 inches. The lost vertical space is a real deal breaker for me and it annoys me.
Ultra wide are nice for example for audio/video editing, where you want to visualise the timeline, but majority of tasks you would do, including gaming on them are better on a standard 16:9 monitors.
