32:9 monitors really have my attention:

https://apps.voxmedia.com/at/theverge-samsung-chg90/?initialWidth=740&childId=theverge-samsung-chg90__graphic&parentUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2Fcircuitbreaker%2F2017%2F6%2F9%2F15763980%2Fsamsung-chg90-49-inch-ultrawide-curved-display-monitor-huge-excel-gaming

I can see the appeal for those monitors for games like Civilization and some racing/flight sims, but they're way too big for me.

The max I could deal with would be a 34-35" Ultrawide monitor, and I would have a hard time adjusting to something like that.

I like the aspect ratio of 32:9, these 49" monitors are basically the size of two 24" 16:9 monitors slapped together, and I'm very used to that at my work, it's just that these makes them seamless.

As for gaming, peripheral vision is always a good thing in my book for many genres.
