We strained our eyes with Lenovo's monster monitor: 43.4 inches for price of five 24" screens

It partly helps with gaming, my main monitor at home is an ultrawide, but it helps more along the lines of being able to push more frames within the cable standard.

I know that if I use HDMI on my 3440x1440 screen, the standard of the HDMI port on the back of the monitor itself causes a cap of 50fps. The equivalent standard on full fat 4k is only capable of pushing 30fps.

Displayport 2's standard was published earlier this year which (I think) is intended to deal with 8k and 16k screens at varying framerates.
