Well I am back and going to build a new computer. Sorry I have been away for so long. Moved to St. Louis and also went through a bad divorce so computers and other things kind of fell behind.
The computer will come after I finish saving up for a down payment for a new 2015 Mustang...

Glad to be here. Just moved to St. Louis. I am a video game artist and I got a job with Flight Safety. I work on flight simulators for the military. I am going to save up 5,000 USD for a down payment for the 2015 Mustang.
I am looking at 34" panels to get. I can't make up my mind...

I would'nt any of those to be frank. If It's not 4k I don't see the sense and if I'm investing in a 1440p monitor I would go with a 144hz panel.

21:9 blows anything 16:9 away as far as immersion and usefulness goes.
The difference between the 2 LGs is just the stand everything else about them is the same. The Samsung is a VA panel so it has better blacks and lower response time but it's a little weaker in color quality

Also, don't forget we have a Microcenter here locally. Some of those monitors they might have on display so you can check them out for yourself in person or something very similar to them. Just depends where you are at in the area. The Microcenter is in Brentwood.
I could have swore 4K was 4096 × 2160.... I have a 1440P right now and that was a huge step-up from 1080p for me.
http://www.microcenter.com/site/stores/brentwood.aspx <--- See if it is feasible to get to from where you are. It is centrally located in the area. Usually can get there in about 15-25minutes from the metro area.

I don't know how much you care for LinusTechTips, but watch the YouTube video in this post.
Here is the Amazon link for one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111MRT90/?tag=tec06d-20
It's an IPS panel, 34 inches, curved, 21:9 aspect ratio, 3440*1440

I myself own a 2013 Mustang GT and the V8 is so smooth and the sound with aftermarket exhaust is intoxicating!

True but the money for it was to much and also a huge wast on gas. I also got the premium version. The V4 still out preforms the V6 in every way from HP to gas etc. The V8 is great but its over kill for what I need. Its also being to American in a way. I do not like to wast money or gas ....

I was talking with a Mustang shop in town and they said with just computer stuff they can give me 40 or more HP. The problem is once you do that the Ford warranty is gone. I would also like to put a larger turbo on it as well. Then new better sounding exhaust and other things. One of my friends has the 2015 GT and just finished putting on a supper charger and he gets near 650HP. Its this supper charger http://www.cjponyparts.com/roush-supercharger-kit-phase-1-627hp-5-0l-2015/p/421823/. It makes the GT sound so mean and bad ass.
This is fun enough as well saving on gas. Its still better than the V6 with HP and gas. I wanted the V8 but the price was to much as well the gas each month for it. I went from a 2008 Toyota Yaris 4 door to this Mustang....I would say the change is big enough..
I wanted to be flying the ARMY Apache attack helicopter to work every day but they did not let me. I can fly better than I can drive. Just because of other stupid drivers. When I am up in the air if something goes wrong its will be my fault...well most of the time. Like the time I was in Iraq and was shooting bad guys and the 30mm main gun jammed...not my fault so I gave them a hell fire rocket...it did its job...... I do not like when you shoot AK-47 at my attack helicopter........

You can always get this at a later day as well. I have to say the sound of this engine sounds great. Even better once you add a new exhaust etc to it...

Well I did not end up getting the 34" LCD. I did get something I have always wanted. I also will use this more than the 34" as well. I am a artist and work in the video game biz and also do freelance stuff. I love a program called ZBrush. Its a 3D program that lets you paint the details into anything 3D etc. I always wanted a Wacom Cintiq. You can use a pen and draw right on the screen. So I got a Wacom 24HD. I will post pics after I get it.

I guess it is good that you don't get a curved screen for doing art stuff. The most common complaints about curved monitors are that the lines are not straight lol.
Congratulations on getting what you wanted.

That is true about the lines. Here is a post from an artist about a game you or may not have played. The game is ok but I loved the story. The looks I think are still the best looking on the PS4 by far. Here is what ZBrush in the hands of a great artist can do. These are the hi poloy and not what is in game but the in game ones are based off these hi rez ones. SOOOOO much details.....
