First week with an ultra wide monitor - it's not all pony's and rainbows
Have you seen the new 28" BenQ RD280UG? 3840x2560(!!) vertical resolution at 28" in an aspect ratio pretty much perfect for use as a side monitor, and it's 120Hz. It also advertises a 2000:1 contrast ratio, which makes me think it's an IPS Black panel, similar to what's in the u4025qw. Going to grab

Is RD280UG just a paper launch?
The BenQ RD280 series has 4K+ resolution. Stop referring to the RD280U monitor; the RD280UG is a different panel with higher contrast and a better refresh rate. Nobody likes those Awfulk monitors.

32GB of RAM on track to become the new majority for gamers — Steam survey indicates shift could occur before the end of the year | RTX 4060, 1600p screens, and Windows 11 gain momentum
3:2 is the new 16:10, I run a BenQ 28.2" RD280U 4k+ (3840x2560) monitor, only catch is it's 60hz, but I don't play hyper competitive twitch shooters anymore. But as a workspace it's amazing, so for my usage it's perfect.

You can now get a the 28.2" 4.5K 3:2 4500x3000 pixel (192 PPI) panel from the Surface Studio in a standalone monitor: Kuycon P20
Of course, they release this a few months after I bought the Benq RD280U, but I'm happy with what I have. If it was 120HZ then I would have switched to it.
