I bought a curved 34" 1440p last year. Pretty neat to have that much space, needed a bit of Hammerspoon scripting to put windows into predefined slots on hotkey presses, but afterwards, having everything in plain view at all times was pretty neat. But after a while I noticed I was squinting a bit more than with my 27" 1440p Dell, and also tended to lean towards the display a bit more, which probably was because the display was a somewhat less sharp than the Dell and further away from my eyes on the left and right. I also found keeping all that real estate organized was quite a bit of overhead, and having everything in my field of view was subconsciously stressing me out, so I'm back on the 27" 1440p, with Hammerspoon placing windows in way fewer predefined slots, and the 34" has been relegated to gaming duty, where it absolutely shines despite its 60hz refresh; it's crazy what a bit of additional display left and right can do for immersion. I guess my ideal display would be a 27" or 28" 16:9 5K display, but there are very few of those that all seem to have their share of issues and are priced above my budget anyway. Some people seem to be quite happy with 4K scaled to 150%, but that's probably not viable without a discrete GPU (which my Intel MBP 13" doesn't have.)
