I got them recently as the side monitors for a 16:9 43'' 4k in the middle. The height matches almost perfectly. I love this layout so far, so much desktop space and such high…

3 sourcesI got them recently as the side monitors for a 16:9 43'' 4k in the middle. The height matches almost perfectly. I love this layout so far, so much desktop space and such high resolution! And it's nice to have a big 16:9 screen in the middle for videos. Finally a worthy replacement for my three 10-year-old 30'' 16:10 Dells.
For people who work in Windows: you will want to use https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse and you'll need to modify the registry to work around this issue https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse/issues/80 if you don't want your mouse cursor to jump vertically during screen transitions.
In LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp MonitorHave the same monitor, it's my third Dell monitor since I bought my 2405fpw back in 2005. I've always gotten excellent performance from them and the 2405 lasted 12 years.
The 4k resolution and scaling can cause issues with some apps as you noted. This is especially true if you use multiple panels with heterogeneous resolutions, connect with displayport and occasionally turn one monitor off. This causes windows to move everything to the other display which is a mess. However after futzing with it for a few days post-purchase I had it all working well enough to deal with, even though I occasionally get slack in an over-maxed window on the smaller display. Btw this program is really useful for smoothing mouse movement between the larger and smaller displays in windows 10: https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse
