Is the LG 34GP83A-B still the best IPS 34" Ultrawide? (lemm.ee)

Currently rocking two 1440p 27" monitors. My job is offering me $500 for home office improvements, so I'm looking at swapping one for a 34" 21:9 ultrawide. My brother got a LG 34GP83A-B two years ago and loves it. Is that still the best option? It'd be used mostly for programming, but I like to play a variety of games here and there. Looked at a few newer Dell Ultrasharps but they're more expensive and reviews say their bad for gaming due to motion blur.

Many games need to be played at 16:9 as ultrawide goes beyond your peripheral vision. You likely will need to react to new information appearing at the sides, which you won't notice on ultrawide settings.
