This is where I am now. 32” at native 4K, 1@ resolution, but with text size bumped up a bit on some windows. Internal monitor is the slack/mail/calendar display, work is on the big one. Even when I’m using the mini, with no internal, I don’t find that I miss having two monitors.
The few times I’ve used a 49 ultrawide, meh, I’m not impressed but it’s better than just the internal. I’d probably need to reset the window manager to do 1x4, rather than using thirds.
I've got it just close enough to me to hit my max comfortable FOV (so I don't have to crane my neck to see parts of the screen) while still being unable to see pixels.
It's got a USB C port that can do 4k 120Hz (which is awesome) and puts out just enough charging power to keep my Air from draining while I'm using it.
At native 4K things area little small, but moving the MacOS scaling down one or two ticks is perfect.
Hard to imagine a more perfect setup, personally.
