IMO a pretty cheap UltraWide 2560 x 1080 monitor from LG. Normally they're 75hz but this model is 100hz with IPS panel with FreeSync.

Currently have the 75hz model(WL500), but would buy this in a heart beat if I didn't already have one. below are my thoughts

Could replace my existing dual (2x 22") setup with just 1x 29" as its wide enough for two windows side by side without being too narrow
Saves a bit of power than 2x monitor
Feels a tad more immersive when playing games and watching movies (21:9 is the ratio without the borders on top and bottom of screen)

Your colleagues wont be able to see s*** when you share screen (its just too wide and not everyone has a wide screen to view your screen)
Edges are a tad blurry example

I managed to get the Samsung Odyssey 32 " WQUHD G51C from JB last night for $297 via online chat. Used GC to bring it down further.

Does it cost the same amount of electricity consumption if i have 2 have two 23 inch or 24 inch monitors together? TIA.

  This LG apparently consumes 22W of power , unless your monitors consume less than 11W each than it would definitely use more power.
  
  Not to mention if you use a USB C docking station.
