The answer is super clear:
These large bendable screens belong on desks where you may both do work up close at high pixel count (4K-5K, not 1440p) and game at 4K 60hz, 120hz, or 240hz, and sometimes watch TV from across the room.
Note: Most ultrawide or curved panels are not work resolutions, they are 1440p so cheaper gaming cards can drive them at reasonable framerates. But for PS5 and XSX and PC w/ RTX 3090, you want the 4K, and that cuts your options down.
There were only a couple panels on the market available before this announcement that were the pixels and color and game capabilities to do a reasonable blend of all 3 activities, both were LG, and this article incidentally are also LG.
For a Mac user with Thunderbolt / USB-C ports only, consider LG 40WP95C-W 40” UltraWide Curved WUHD (5120 x 2160) 5K2K Nano IPS Display, DCI-P3 98% (Typ.) with HDR10, Thunderbolt 4 with 96W PD, 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design Tilt/Height/Swivel Stand. It essentially has a $400 TB4 dock built in.
For folks with HDMI (newest Macs, Windows), consider the LG C2 42” if will mostly be TV only sometimes work or gaming. But if working and gaming at the desk, consider these, as 40” is too big to sit close to and work or game unless curved, while from across a (small) room you want it flat to e.g. have the news on.
