You can't go wrong with Alienware/Dell's displays. I'm assuming due to productivity constraints, OLED is off the table? Are you sticking to the standard 34"/3440x1440/21:9 formula?

If Mini-LED and non-VA is what you want, there is really only one option and it doesn't seem like you can buy it yet.
Its also not curved, so forget that.
Mini-LED looking at the offers in that resolution are not great
if HDR performance is important, that's going to be best served by OLED's

i could care less about HDR performance tbh
never seen a single HDR demo or otherwise that impressed me enough
and OLED my concern is burn in more than anything else
and i already have a 2nd 27in 2560x1440p display that works best with 34"/3440x1440/21:9 display

I went from a 34" 3440x1440 curved Ultrawide IPS that I had for 6 years and mvoed to OLED for HDR earlier this year. I'm floored how I've never experienced this before, its absolutely insane.

both the lg and viewsonic have "HDR" and all it does it burn my eyes out with how bright they are when enabled while the colors are either equal or over bright/saturated
i was really hoping this mini led would give me the same colors as the vizio mini led i saw once

Yeah nothing that's under $700-800 can do proper HDR. If they are LCD's, that would require mini-LED backlighting with 1000+ local dimming zones. Then it would need to be calibrated.
Unfortunately most displays these days that advertise HDR can't actually produce an HDR image.

but nah it's like any other hdr monitor, painfully bright and over saturated
i have just disabled local dimming on this monitor for the time being, more over bright than helpful

Yeah, its sad you've never experience truly well calibrated HDR. I thought the same thing before doing it right. Either way, you have alist, you can break down by IPS if black smearing of VA's is a problem.
I don't think I'll ever go back to LCD tech for my primary display at home.

my current lg is an ips and it doesn't really have those issues, my only interest in upgrading would be for colors while retaining responsive ness
the alienware (which i got recommend from pc monitors . info) has no smearing despite being an OLED
and right now it's 900 before tax, so it'd be roughly 150 more than the view sonic i just acquired
