well, at least it's cheap and 21:9 is really nice for some types of games.
Did you actually expect a 200hz 1440p panel in that size for 300$?

$300 USD can buy a decent 1440p 165Hz+ IPS last I checked. With the way motion looks on VAs, especially the non-Samsung ones, you're much better off with the IPS. I switched from a 240Hz Samsung Odyssey G7 (one of the very few VAs out there that doesn't have dark level smearing) to an Alienware AW3423DWF (165Hz OLED) which I run capped at 154 fps, and the difference is night and day. The motion clarity on the OLED is so much crisper that even at 100 fps it looks smoother than the Odyssey G7. IPS may not be ultra crisp like OLED, but it definitely gives a clearer image than VA, especially the non-Samsung ones which smear.
Edit: Yeap, they can be had for $250. There's one listed for $200 but that isn't available so cheap anymore. So yes, fuck paying $300 USD for a 1080p VA.

We are talking about a 21:9 monitor - you would need to find a 3440x1440 at 29.5 for 300$. There are not that much options for 23.5 1440p monitors let alone one that is 3440x1440 at 29.5"
