So, I got a new 5700 xt video card and I want to upgrade my monitor. I do gaming and video editing. I'm looking for 1440p or greater resolution with 120hertz and good color. I prefer better picture vs high FPS but 100fps in a game is my goal per say.

I'm trying to decide between these:
LG-34GK950F
ASUS ProArt PA34VC
Samsung 49-Inch CRG90

I like the CRG90 but I don't have the room really for a 49" monitor. Also, I'm not sure if my card can drive that resolution.
I'm partial to 21:9 screen but I'm not married to it. If not 21:9, I would like something at least 32".
Any other suggestions would be wonderful.
Thanks!

LG-34GK950F seems the best to me and despite being cheaper than Asus ProArtPA34VC is has better specs. Samsung's resolution seems a bit to big for 100 fps on 5700 xt.

The LG-34GK950F is on my short list (and the list is 1 item) of monitors I would buy right now. It has all of the features I've been craving in a 34" ultrawide format:

3440x1440
IPS
144hz
Freesync 2
Adjustable height

I WILL say the Samsung 49" I sat down with at Microcenter last week and it was absolutely ridiculously amazing. That said, I don't have the room for it either (I need 2 monitors on my desk, rgiht now thats 2x 34" ultrawides, and I don't have room for a 49" and anything else). So 34" is my sweet spot I think.

EDIT: Also, I'm using my current monitor (Acer 3440x1440 100hz freesync) with a 5700 (non-xt) and it works great. Can't play absolutely eveyrthing all the way turned up, but I play most of my games turned down anyway, so no big deal.
