Disappointing resolution. PPI at that size would not be great. You can get 34 and 38" monitors with higher resolution. This is basically a replacement for two 24" 1920x1200 displays side by side.
I consider that a selling feature (a more or less drop in replacement for two 1920x1200 monitors) but you're not wrong about the PPI. My concern would be whether windows display halving/snapping works as well as dragging to separate monitors. In my experience so far it doesn't work as well but maybe I'd get used to it with a monitor like that.
34" and 38" monitors are generally 21:9, not 32:9, and thus can't be directly compared (normally 2560x1080, 3440x1440 or 3840x1600). Still, vertical resolution is a decent indicator, and at least this beats the more common "2x 1920x1080" 32:9 displays. I still miss the article actually talking about the physical size of the display, though - is this like two 24" displays? 27"? Less? More?
Closer to the 3840 x 1440 resolution I'd like to perfectly mirror a weird 8:3 aspect ratio projection system. That was originally design for two 4:3 projectors side by side. The era of 4:3 displays has been dead for more than a decade now but the whole ultra wide trend is close to bringing that back times two.
The venue is currently using a single 3840 x 2160 unit but with some EDID and digital cropping magic to enforce the 'correct' 3840 x 1440 resolution for the screen. As weird as that is, it was an easier and cheaper solution than replacing the custom screen setup. To mirror the projection content, LG 38UC99-W and tis 3840 x 1600 resolutions displays are used with 80 pixels of letter boxing top and bottom.

Correction: There is only 1 x HDMI input and 2 x USB-C inputs along with the 2 x DisplayPort inputs.quiksilvr - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link
Also the four USB ports are USB 3.2 with one of them fast charge B.C 1.2.quiksilvr - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link
Also can y'all just switch to Disqus? It's a way better commenting tool that allows users to edit their posts up to a few days after posting.Slash3 - Friday, November 22, 2019 - link

Thanks!meacupla - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link
the chart at the bottom lists 2x HDMI 2.0, when it should be 1x HDMI 2.0This looks pretty amazing, although I'm too used to using 2x2560x1440, so I don't see myself ever getting this.

Look at windows power tools, there's one for custom layouts that you can snap to, forgot the name right now.I'd be hesitant getting this monitor due to the ppi.

The name you're looking for PowerToys/FancyZones. Works like a charm, even in multi-monitor setups. Highly recommed it.Valantar - Friday, November 22, 2019 - link

Great display size for programming.dullard - Friday, November 22, 2019 - link
Great for programming because you like spending 75% of your time scrolling vertically?Add the few inches back to the top of the monitor and then it would be great.

And the corresponding extra pixels that we pay to get rid of in ultrawide monitors.godrilla - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link

Very nice, almost perfect as well.5120x1600 would be even better but this one is a nice balance.

In Indian Rs it would be around Rs 1 L right? Well can we attach Amazon Fire TV Stick to it?yetanotherhuman - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
I still think 38" 3840x1600 is the sweet spot.
