For those that play on a console and PC with a single screen. What is the bets option for immersion?

I know the PS4 won’t take advantage of an ultra wide monitor so I’m trying to figure out what would work best (sub $600)
 
A couple of questions.

What games do you play other than SIM racing on your PS4 and PC?
What size screen can you realistically accommodate?
Do you want/need a TV in the room where you game?
 
If you’re looking for immersions and VR and triple screen are not options, I would say your best bet is a curved screen, they are very pricey though.

Other things to keep in mind:

As far as Screen types go OLED > LED > LCD > Plasma

Whichever screen you go with, you’ll want a high refresh rate as a top priority.

If you end up going with a 4K (or higher) solution, MAKE SURE it is HDR ready. This will usually knock the price up a small amount vs a similar set that doesn’t have HDR but it is very worth it. In my opinion the difference between HDR and no HDR is a bigger difference than 4K vs 1080p.
 
I have a Philips Momentum 43", it has 4k, HDR10 and a very good refresh rate. have a look. cost me £500 so similar $ amount.
