2560x1440 is NOT 2K. I really wish thr industry would get off this whole "#K" rubbish.
It's also not ultrawide, it's just regular wide screen at 16:9.

Would have been tempted but no VESA mount

We have these at work - the ZeroFrame is not entirely accurate - there is still a frame, it is just part of the flat part of screen rather than a typical bezel - you can even see it in the photo, it's a good 8mm wide on the top and sides. Great monitor though.

As much as I love my Nvidia graphics card, I really wish it supported free-sync. By comparison, quick-sync makes monitors so expensive!

This is a TN panel just so onlookers are aware.

From what I'm researching, IPS isn't all that - better viewing angles, better colour representation, but slower response times and double the price of TN. Certainly ideal pro photo and video editing and general work. Fine for general gaming, but not so good for twitchy shooters etc.
TN has narrower viewing angles (read: head on or bust), slightly worse colour accuracy but faster response time, more affordable and will suit most people, especially gamers.
In summary, buy what suits you - if you want a 1440p monitor and don't want to pay £4-500+, then nothing wrong with TN for most people.
For content creators / people wanting to use the screen primarily for working purposes where colour accuracy is a major concern, IPS may be worth the extra premium.
I'm looking into this for my little bro as he is going to start creating videos and content, but wants to use the screen for general use as well. Considering his content hasn't taken off the ground, I will not be recommending the premium for IPS at this time - if it does take off, then he may want to get IPS later down the line when he can afford it.
Aside from the lack of vesa mount on this monitor, it seems to be the best available 1440p monitor available at this price range - however forums suggest cheaper Korean monitors, and I need to look into that a bit more. I believe one brand is Qnix.
