Best 34" VA monitor, under 1000 USD?

Hi guys! I'm looking for the best 34" 1440p high refresh rate gaming monitor under 1000 USD. Since there are only IPS and VA in this price range, I would like to stick to VA because I can't stand the low contrast ratio of the IPS panels. Also a 1500R curvature is preferred. I owned a G34WQC before and I was pretty happy with it. Is there any better alternatives?
