Hey,
I am currently using a 34" ultrawide screen from Samsung with my MBA with an M1 chip. As with all things in life, you kinda get used to it and I'd like to get something bigger and more crips. The XDR display is out of the question. Just not a fan of it and it's heavily overpriced.
Is there anything decent that's slightly bigger than 34", has 4k resolution, and ideally a USB-C port?

Thanks for your help!
 
Thank you! I am guessing you're talking about this model: Dell UltraSharp U4021QW - WUHD Curved IPS Monitor - Thunderbolt 3 - RJ45 - USB-C - 40" ?

Is the MBA with M1 chip fast enough to run it at 4k or gonna be exhausted?
 
Yes, that’s the one. LG 40WP95c is using the same panel but is not available yet. M1 should be fine with any of the scaled (HiDPI) resolutions or with native one but I haven’t checked myself because I still have Intel Mac mini (driving LG 34WK-95u without any problems via TB3).
