Bigger problems are with DPI scaling in OS and programs. Setting things in Windows doesn't ensure everything will scale with it, and even when they do artifacts or tiny fonts and icons abound.
That's why widescreen fixer exists, for the games making you seasick
I use it for work I have this plus an Acer 27" monitor so basically the equivalent of 3 27" QHD monitors. I do software development. I use the single 27" to share on Teams as the 49" monitor is not easy for others to see.

When software catches up to uw's it will be better.
Sharing screen with people who are 99% of them using 16:9, which i do nowadays since i connect my work laptop to my monitor.
and if you were a streamer
The AOC is only $100 more, so if you're spending this much already, that's going to be a better monitor.
The AOC monitor is never in stock. And nowadays it sells at well over $1000
Currently using 34" Samsung and 32" BenQ, both 1440. Gaming PC has a 32" LG IPS 1440...I have a pretty large desk at home but it's getting full. lol
The g9? Absolutely zero. The crg90? Maybe

Guessing you never heard of display fusion?
Here is my question which is better
SamsungCHG90 Vs Dark Matter 49..
Except it's not, it's a 49" 1440 vertical pixels DQHD.
So no, you're wrong. It's pretty high PPI for 100% scaling at desk viewing distances: 108.54 pixels per in
For comparison, a 27" 1440p is: 108.79 PPI: there's a reason they refer to this as being like two 27" 1440p 16:9 monitors side by side.
Or roughly the same as a 20" 1080p screen.
As someone who has quite good vision and comfortably uses a 43" 4k TV (102.46 PPI, equivalent to 4x 21.5" 1080p screens) and has also used 27" monitors at 1440p and found them to be at the edge of her comfort zone for a normal desk setting at 100% scaling, a lot of people are going to need scaling, outside of games (and in some games).

They are the same panel, so go with what's cheaper.
edit: I thought you said CRG90. This one is better than the CHG90.

When doing Teams presentations, always just share the window you want to share. It not only makes it easier to have the shared content fill the attendees screens, but it also prevents any embarrassing IM popups from displaying while you're sharing.
This is an important LPT for everyone, not just ultrawide monitor users!

IPS may be preferable for no noticeable corner color shift (I'm using a Samsung 6300 at home, the 43" in it is IPS, but they're well out of manufacture and I don't know what a current option would be short of one of the actual Philips 43" monitors, and I know the VA versions of those at least have subpixel orientation issues. Oh, Dell also has a 43" IPS).
I have a 2019 TCL 4 series 43" at work (as an upgrade from an old Seiki) and it's quite nice, although there's some corner color shift when sitting centered towards it, from being VA. The 2019 5 series 43" (43S525) gets slightly better ratings, on rtings.
Personally I'm waiting to see if the 2020 TCL 6 series will be available in 43" (it seems unlikely, since they've traditionally been 55" and up, but a girl can hope), but the main reason for my wanting that is for HDR gaming. For gaming, the Dell S3220DGF is extremely tempting, but I'm not sure I could stand the step down in screen real estate for coding. For coding, better HDR is pointless, as is freesync.
But if you're still sure you absolutely have to spend a lot of money on a monitor just to spend a lot of money, I'd point out that the CHG90 has quite a lot of rather nasty failure stories. And per my earlier post, I'd make sure that the PPI on one of these 49" DQHD monitors is going to be comfortable for you for coding.
