38WR85QC-W

I just got one a week ago. Same situation of productivity 5 days a week ~9 hours a day. Love the look of the panel. And the resolution is perfect for games. Old is tempting, but for the money spent i want a monitor I can use for everything and not worry about burn in.

Not cheap because it appears to be one of the only 21:9 1600p models still out but I’m very happy with this downsizing from a 42” C2. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1817894-REG/lg_38br85qc_w_38_qhd_hdr.html

I absolutely love my 38" LG (I have the Freesync version). However, I don't see it for sale anymore. I feel 38" is the perfect size, though I suppose a higher resolution would be good. Why not consider the  38WR85QC-W.AUS? It's basically the same as the 38GN except cheaper ($1200). The 40" 5k 2k is also a good option, but I use my UW for both work and gaming so I'd go with the 120hz one.

This. I recently bought this monitor as well and i am loving it so far. Didn’t want to buy OLED because of burn in issues since i play MMORPG where there are lots of static elements. Also couldn’t bear Black Smearing on VAs which most of 34” Ultrawides come with. I also wanted 1 monitor setup and a bigger screen (was using 34 VA before) and 38 was like a sweet spot.

Yes, I love it too! I have an Asus 4K 32" IPS at work and honestly... text on the LG looks more crisp despite it only being 1600p. :)

I got this monitor (the WR version) at home for half a year now and a 32" 4K IPS monitor at work. I honestly feel like the text on the UW is more crisp than on the 4K at work. Gaming also is a treat and HDR looks okayish. I'd say go for it.
