Could you expand on this a bit? How’s the ergonomics, window management, etc?

The curve is just right, the width is just right at ~60cm away. The ratio is the real winner. I can split it into thirds and each third has enough height (2160px) and width (1706px) to be useful. Each third is taller than it is wide, which is ideal for coding, web, documents.

It's more like having 3 portrait monitors for productivity work. For media editing, splitting the monitor into 2 is like a classic dual monitor setup with enough width for widescreen video.

Then, if you really need it, it works great as a single wide monitor without making the workspace too "letterbox" like other ultrawides.

Honestly, for me, it is the absolute ideal.
