Feel like the general yarn on here is
27" = QHD
34" = 4K

But I'm no expert on the matter.

  3440x1440 is noticably less sharp than even my 32 at 4k.
  
  Depends what you use the monitor for, but im definitely a resolution over fps or quality guy nowadays

I bought one for $369.40 during this promotion. Should be completely fine for your purpose. I use it for work and casual gaming and really enjoy it. If you do buy it, you might want to consider getting a monitor arm as the monitor is very wide and the stand it comes with is pretty big too. Mine's currently connected to a Loctek Pro Mount(pbtech.co.nz) which works well, even though its 34".
