You'd want curved for a 34"ultrawide. I used to use a flat 29" ultrawide, which was fine. I've used both flat and curved 34" ultrawides, and curved is the way to go.
It's worth noting that, unlike some competitors, Samsung's 1-year warranty doesn't cover burn-in in North America, though this may vary from region to region.

I switched it for a Samsung Odyssey G9 when that had the EDU sale and have had no problems with that monitor.

Couldn't get over the terrible text rendering due to the sub-pixel layout.
There are a few font tweak apps that make it a bit better, but if your life revolves around text viewing I'd wait for 4K OLED displays.
I'd also recommend the Dell AW alternative simply due to warranty.

This monitor, in comparison, has a very fast refresh rate. Much much much better contrast ratio (OLED has true blacks, so the contrast ratio is nearly infinite). EXTREMELY clear motion (moving images on cheaper panels will blur and "ghost"). Very very bright (1000 nits peak brightness vs ~400). The colors will be super vivid AND accurate.
To be honest, I don't know if OLED is what you want for video editing. It might be TOO vivid, and TOO bright. For media consumption though, it's brilliant.
