As you mentioned, the lack of additional pixels/real estate vertically on super ultrawides (38"+) both looks and feels weird with a typical workflow or any use case for that matter in my personal experience and opinion. People have been begging for a 3840x1600p 21:9 W/QD-OLED panel including myself, I still vastly prefer that (my old AW3821DW IPS from 2020) over my current daily PG42UQ work driver (42" 4k138hz 16:9 OLED, it just felt natural for my workflow and I feel like I could have added a second identical ultrawide on top tilted down or maybe even a smaller one like the AW34 QD-OLED (which I pre-ordered immediately but returned after 3 weeks because I simply couldn't afford the loss in screen real estate vs the AW3821DW/LG38-). I'm guessing it's a manufacturing or supply chain issue related to OLED mother glass, is that correct?

I really like that size and resolution personally for my uses. I think it’s just because it’s a fairly uncommon and niche size that it hasn’t had much development over the years. Only really a couple of LG IPS panels and then only a couple of actual monitors that incorporated them. Maybe we’ll see more, including OLED options one day 🤞
