4k 39" 16:9 here, but it's a TV not a monitor. I'd also love more height, but I think we're stuck with 16:9's past 35" since monitors past this size aren't popular. While we're wishing, I'd also like curved please :)

I'm use Windows so AutoHotKey is my window manager: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/79338-simple-window-posit...

Usually my main window is an IDE and it takes 50% of the center, and I'll have miscellaneous windows off to the left and right peeking out from behind it. Creating shortcuts to specific programs (also to minimize/maximize/close them) is also helpful as mousing to the taskbar is just not efficient.

I was looking for a 35"+ Monitor with additional height. I also wanted Curved, IPS Panel, 100 Hz+ and 90W+ USB-C Power Delivery.

I ended up buying an LG 38wn95c-w* which checks all the boxes. It has a resolution of resolution 3840 x 1600. Love it so far!

However, a tool like FancyZones ** is a must at this size.
