This looks like a really sweet monitor at a reasonable price but I'm very surprised it "only" does 1440 pixel vertically: I mean, for such a big screen it's not that much. I'm on a LG 38UC99 (curved, ultra wide, 21:9) since when they came out (a few years ago already by now) and I'm a happy camper. It does 3840x1600, so a bit more vertically, due to a slightly smaller pixel pitch than yours. Overall of course mine has way less pixels.
> I love having my primary reading view centred in the monitor, with secondary stuff pushed to the sides, it’s much more ergonomic and natural imho
Others with ultra wide in this thread mentioned the same. It's how I do it too. The center area is used more than the rest. I often work in a "3 columns of 1280x1600 each" layout.
I'm on Linux so I use a tiling window manager to manage all the windows placement / type of layout / virtual desktops (for in addition to the 3840x1600 pixels I also use about 12 virtual desktops, each always arranged in the same consistent way).
