Running a 3440x1440 monitor. Before buying, does it fill the screen or do I get black bars, especially in cutscenes?

Got dust and some fingerprint smudges on my matte monitor. Scared of scratching it or wrecking the coating. Microfiber dry, water, special spray? What do you use

Little green speckles keep popping up on my screen, worse in dark scenes in games. Happens on both HDMI and DisplayPort. Monitor, cable or GPU?

Shopping for a new monitor and listings use 2K for both 2560x1440 and 1920x1080. Which one is it actually supposed to mean, and what should I look for so I don't buy the wrong thing?

Noticed a dim, cloudy area near the bottom left. It's easiest to see on grey or white screens and it's there in the BIOS too, so it's not a driver. Is this backlight bleed, a dead zone, or pressure damage?

My friend insists anything above 60 is placebo. I swear 144hz feels smoother but I can't explain why. Is there a real limit to what we can notice?

Tiny ants walking around behind the glass of my monitor, I can see them on white backgrounds. No idea how they got in. Will they die off, or do I need to open it up?

Turned the pc on this morning and everything looks pink-red. Checked night light, it's off. HDMI cable on a 1080p monitor. Cable, settings or is the monitor dying?
