Which Monitor is best?

Nothing fits it correctly, it's either all the way to your left or all the way to your right. For the hell of it I even tried hooking it up to a system for gaming. No game would fit it correctly. Color accuracy and contrast was great though, like all UltraSharps. But it's so wide that if you need to see something all the way to the left or right the hue would change because it's at such and angle. 21:9 seems to be the real sweet spot.

Heh, I guess this just proves we are all sooo different... in a good, fun way! :) I have a 49" from Samsung (CRG90) and I'm 100% sold on the experience, ha! My screen has more of a curve than the Dell and honestly I wouldn't mind it if the curve was even curvier. Before I bought it I was of course afraid the curve will be problematic but honestly, I never notice it getting in the way and if it was curvier I think it could actually be even better.
I surprisingly don't find the size to be a hinderance. I had to move my head left and right just as much when I had multiple displays side by side so in that regard I don't really notice much of a difference.
What does help me and I would recommend everyone does is to install PowerToys from MS or whatever screen snapping software you display comes with. This way you can split your screen into a 27" on the middle and then you have "half a 27" inch on the left and the right of it. So your 3ds Max, Cinema 4D or whatever will always start up right in front of you in the middle of the screen just like it would if you had it all set up on a single 27" screen. Definitely recommend it.
Things I would personally like to "upgrade" would be more vertical resolution (I think 32" would fit me better than 27") and more resolution in general. 5120x1440 is really good but I'm one of those people that really prefers full 4k or 5k resolution because of text rendering. Supposedly there is a faux 8k display coming from Samsung this year which will be 2x 32" instead of 2x27" but dang it, the price tag will probably be out of this world.
Hope you find your perfect screen!

Okay I'm reviving this thread again because one of my monitors just fell and broke, what a great day....ugh. I was looking at the two monitors below, which one do you think is good? I always had Dells 21:9 for quite some time.
Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Hub Monitor - U3423WE
or
ASUS ProArt Display PA348CGV
There is this dell also with a 120 HZ
Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt™ Hub Monitor - U3425WE

There is also bigger one U3223QE avaliable: https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell-ultrasharp-u3223qe

Man! Are you able to read the text at 125%? I have the same monitor and at 125% I can't see a thing! Mine is at 200%. Could you shed some light? I must be doing something wrong!

You might just be sitting further away :- ). I use 150perc. for 32" 4K with tripple surround (3x32") and 150perc. for 27"/4K when I am travelling with single or dual 27" monitors but I sit much closer to that setup.
I use additional 125perc. scaling on top for internet browsing.
Even with my lens or glasses, I couldn't do 125perc. either and I would find 175-200perc. to be very comfortable for text but already problematic with how it condenses all visual elements. It's all compromise sadly for text vs graphic parts.
Apple does 200perc. for 27" 5K resolution, so it's not like you're in some too odd territory :- ).
