Macs have a bunch of weird quirks where simple things simply do not work. I got a new mbp for work recently, second to my main windows gaming machine with 34" ultra wide 1440p monitor. And I've basically installed chrome, vscode, and a whole bunch of little packages to make basic hardware operate normally. There's an app to allow the track pad and mouse wheel scroll directions to be set differently. There's another to allow the mouse side buttons to work. It's a basic mouse. These are settings and compatibility issues that do not need to exist. But the most annoying is that the monitor is a bit blurry on the M1. I use vscode for a few mins before I realise there's a fuzziness to it. And apparently this is a known issue, because macs only scale properly for 4k resolutions. So there's another app to make it think its 4k or something. Helps a bit but not that well, and it's a trial.
It's maddening. How the hell is anyone supposed to know that Apple has just decided that they won't be compatible with an entire category of bloody monitors, of all things. |

34" ultra wide 1440p has a pixel density of about 110 ppi, and that should work just fine. You might need to use a different cable, though. You should look your monitor up on rtings.com and search for notes on Mac compatibility.
I have a MacBook Pro 14 that I use daily with a 34" ultra-wide 1440p gaming monitor, and I've never had a problem. I had a MacBook Pro 13 before the 14 that also worked without issue.
