I’m in the market to bump up to an ultra wide but it appears to only be VA available unless I break the bank and jump to an OLED screen? Where did all the IPS stuff go? Whenever I find a VA and check rtings they always report ghosting and smearing which I want to avoid. Even the second hand market for IPS is very thin, I suppose everyone has bought them up?
What’s The Go with VA 34” 1440p Ultra Wide Monitors?

You can buy an OLED curved ultrawide for about the same or even less than it cost to buy an IPS ultrawide.
Not exactly the greatest comparison, but the cost of an X34 Predator back in 2020 was about 1000 AUD. The ATL of the AW3425DW is about the same.
IPS and OLED are easier to curve while IPS costs more approaching OLED price. Curved OLED has taken the market share curved IPS once had so manufacturers stopped making as many curved IPS monitors.
