Rapid VA, Miniled VA, Oled for 50/50 productivity/gaming split?

I am going crazy deciding on a ultrawide 34 inch monitor for both productivity (coding, teams, reading documentation and lightweight gaming (league of legends, Minecraft, RuneScape)

I have been looking far and wide for an ips ultrawide panel with at least 144hz, but seems impossible to find since all are discontinued. OLED is supposed to be the best for immersive gaming, but my gaming is not based on glorious graphics, so I prefer less eye strain and no burn in.

Currently I am using a 24.5inch 16:9 VA (AOC 25g3zm) and I don’t ever think about black smearing, however the contrast when using VSCode in dark mode can be a straining. Is this happening with all VA panels, or is there any that with some tweaking can be okay? Also, will the higher ppi of a 3440x1440 34 inch help with this? (110ppi vs 90ppi)?

Tonex one or tonex plug for headphone playing?

Hello!
There is currnetly a great local deal here for tonex one so that it is about 40 dollars cheaper than tonex plug. I also don’t know if at some point I might want to just plug in a tonex one to PA instead of bringing a full amp when with my band.

At home I want to be able to silently practice, both using with and without playing along with music (backing tracks, recordings from my phone). From my understanding when reading, the tonex one doesnt full support this when plugging in an iPhone through usb-c right? I want to avoid having to plug into a a laptop using another audio interface, as I want it to be as simple as possible.

Is my best option to just go with tonex plug then, even though it is cheaper and technically more limiting since I can’t Connect it directly to a PA etc, or will tonex one be useful for my case?
