I have not kept up with the technology but that one has AMD FreeSync. It my understanding Nvida is Gsync and the the two are not compatible.  So if thats the case you will still be able to use that display but will not be able to take advantage of the SYNC feature ?

Yes, 1080 vs 1440 is significant.  I just bought the AW3418DW and replaced my center 1440p surround screen with it since it uses a similar .233 dot pitch as my existing triple setup.  Now I run the center UW monitor in games and use 120Hz OC with "normal" refresh and g-sync.  I get 113 fps in Doom with everything at max and it is very nice.  Been too lazy to check actual fps with other games, but wolfenstein and BF is very smooth.  The Dell is much better than my triple surround monitors due to higher framerates while still giving a good wide aspect ratio.  The Dell is a very nice monitor at the moment for UW gaming, but if you do graphics, drafting, or video, I'd keep a good flat screen around.  Screen uniformity and color temp varies.  It gets warmer on the right side.  Also, curved screeen not good for drafting.  I am tempted to trying a replacement, but others have experienced the same issue.  Don't want to gamble since very minimal BLB in lower corners and no dead/stuck pixels.
 
As for price, BB price matches many and Dell website.  I pricematched Dell on initial purchase, then had BB re-adjust again when it went on sale for $999 the past week.  Still within my return period if the color temp variance gets to me, but right now, it's a keeper.  Others have complained about the warmer right side.  If you're picky or use full screen windows all the time, it may annoy you.  I keep my windows to half screen widths so I don't notice it as much.  BB has a good return policy and I have 45 days to return.  I would suggest BB or Amazon and try it out if you're picky, then you have options to return.  I just got a Dell U3417W for work due to special pricing and it's much better for office work, but curved screen still harder for drafting purposes.  I still kept my flat screens at work, too.
