Recommendations for Ultrawide monitor 34" 3440 x 1440, 10 bit color, Non curved Matte?

I'm looking for 34" Ultrawide monitor with 3440 x 1440 resolution, 10 bit color depth(not the one with 8-Bit+FRC), Matte, and speakers if it's available. I prefer non curved flat screen with Matte since I'm not playing games with it. It's for digital art work. IPS or VA doesn't matter to me as long as it has true 10 color depth. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I ordered Lenovo T34W -20 ultrawide a few months ago, but curved and no speaker though. $500-9%Rakuten so $450
haven't found any problem so far

OP, you'll have a hard time finding one with your specs. They just don't really exist for consumers . You will get used to the curve and it will take appx 1-2 months until you stop noticing. I own Dell 38" aside from a few more. Curve is tiny and took me about a month. I was in your shoes,but with free returns and no other options under $4K, I tried it(it was "only" $1200), This one: dell monitor that used to be $1200
figured, I can return if I don't get used it,but I liked it and quickly found that curve is non existent as it is small. I am in graphic design and video- type work. True 10 bit monitors are rare and very expensive. What you should be more concerned with is 100% sRGB at the minimum and hopefully 100% AdobeRGB
Look into Asus ProArt for monitors geared towards pros.
I use voice typing, expect mistakes...

Yah, no... You being happy doesn't make it a good monitor though.
I don't think you read his question or understand it. It's a cheap monitor with a TON of issues. Low quality panel, bad colors, spotting, bleeding, bad gammut, soft.

I guess I have no choice but going with curved ones. It's funny Dell and MSI don't even have non-curved ultrawide screens any more.

Another question, I decided to try some monitors before I make a final decision. There's a couple of monitors at Staples I want to try just for the convienience, but I'm not sure if I can do it. Is it possible to buy and return monitors more than one times with Staples? Will they put me in some kind of blacklist?

They'll go out of their way to make a store return difficult for you if they catch you field-testing more than one. Much easier to buy online and request a courier pickup for return, assuming they still do that. Or just order right from the manufacturer.

Also, are you sure you want matte for design work? It really mutes the colors.

At the moment, I've decided not to chase the unicorn, I need to work and decide to get a workable monitor for a shorter time.
What do you think of these? Would Amazon also make it difficult to return if it's more than once?
