I feel like my UltraGear (45GR75DC-B) has the perfect curve for its size, it's a 1500R.
It's actually a bit less curved than I'd like, but I also don't feel encapsulated by it like I did when I was looking at the more curved models, and it looks better on my desk too.
I use it for productivity, media consumption, and gaming, and it seems like the happy medium for all 3 at the 45" size.
I looked at the 800R panels, and I actually just can't believe people like it for anything other than gaming.
I stumbled across another, more modern one.

Bit expensive but it's gone on sale for $200 off this price a few times in recent months.
I thought about 32:9 when I had my first 21:9 which was a 34, and was like... this isn't enough vertical space, I thought about S:UW and then i saw the 45" LGs, found the 1440 one on ebay for a damn fine price and man, I don't think 32:9 would be a very good choice for me, this 45 is PERFECT and mines only 1440, as 5k2k is overkill for what I can generally afford, or feel comfortable affording.
I have the 1440 one and I have no issues, I also only paid $600 for it, I could never justify the cost of the 5k2k, maybe when the tech gets lower in price... but for now... naw.
If the cost wouldn't kill me I'd go 5k2k in a heart beat.
I still love my 45” LG 1440p. I’m sure if I had it side by side with a 4K tv I would see a massive difference but since that’s not the case I haven’t felt the need to upgrade. I use it for work(software engineer) and gaming and I have been happy with how it performs.
I mostly sit reclined so ppi hasn’t been an issue for me when working. I have an RTX 5080 so when gaming I can completely max out graphical settings which results in pretty stunning visuals. Also, ultra wide has become a must have for me so TVs haven’t really been a consideration. I have been very tempted by the new 45” 5k2k version and almost pulled the trigger when it was down to $1399 at Christmas. Would have done it but I have to buy a new office chair, which is its own special sort of research hell!
