Great price for the feature set. Pixel density is a bit low for this size. My main concern would be lack of curve for a monitor this wide.
I've had a 34" 21:9 for about 5 years. I've been itchin to upgrade to something larger, and these 40"ers are just what the doc ordered. I created a small spreadsheet of the 5 monitors on the market that I think are competing for my dollars (left out the 4-figure+ options like Dell, LG, Alienware, etc).

https://tinypic.host/image/IjRYm

Here's my take:
MSI - Cheapest. Good specs. God-awful physical design, but luckily that's all on the rear of the product, and I plan to mount it so the big ugly stand will sit in a closet. Has a KVM, which will be great for connecting the work laptop.
INNOCN - 2nd place. There is apparently no quick KVM feature. If you wanna do PIP or PBP, you have to hit up the menu. Brightest monitor in the bunch. Second cheapest.
Deco Gear - Tempting to chase pixel count, but at the very top of my price range, it's just not worth it, especially with that 75 hz refresh rate.
Monoprice - No listed AdaptiveSync. 8-bit panel. No listed PIP/PBP/KVM. Still more expensive than the MSI.
AOPEN - Just way too expensive, especially for another 8-bit panel. Not sure if that's 8-bit + FRC, but at that price it doesn't really matter. Plus it's white (barf).

This monitor has no curve I believe, it's flat 40'' ips. One of the reviews says that "My biggest concern was pixel density, but I honestly can't see pixels unless I stick my face right up to the monitor. I sit a bit further back so it looks great." I really want to try this monitor 😂

Seems like a great single monitor for productivity . It includes KVM too. If I did not go for 2 of those Monoprice 4K , I would have jumped on this.

Repped. I read all the reviews. Couldn't resist. Did no rush shipping which got me 6% ($21.60) back on my Amazon Visa. Great deal. Now I'll be nervous until it arrives safely. The last gaming monitor I ordered from Amazon oddly got "lost" on its way to me. 😏 I'm sure someone is enjoying it, but it's not me.

Brother bought a few of these, really really nice monitor. Almost bought it but holding out for OLED.

I think the size is pretty good, it's basically a wider 32" monitor.

Such a great feature. So glad to see monitors including KVMs these days. Note, I think it is software-based, and therefore will only work on Windows machines. the PBP/PIP functionality with this has me really tempted. I think this is my next monitor.

Woot had these refurb for ~$260 but sold out. I spotted that yesterday which had me digging into this monitor I never heard of. Now I'm debating on returning my 35in ultra wide LG from Costco for this.

I had an FLAT ultrawide a LONG time ago. Was fine for desk work, but gaming kind of sucked. The sides were just so far away from you.

On the other side of the spectrum, saw a huge UW at best buy with a really aggressive curve. I bet that would be awesome for gaming, but would probably get annoying for desk work.

I am also reconsidering the Acer from Costco for this monitor. Acer has the notorious flickering on brighter screens. How do you like your LG? I may just order this and compare.

I use it for 70% work, 10% gaming, and 20% everything else. For my need it works good. I had a 32" monitor previously and split screen would give me x2 skinny windows that were hard to work with especially in excel.

Complaints:
-I think I have blown the speakers already as they make popping noises when some people speak in Teams meetings. I liked the built in speakers eliminating clutter but I will more than likely go back to a monitor soundbar.
-No auto-switching between sources. This was nice on my old HP as I didn't have to manually click through between work laptop and home PC when everything was off.
-HDR looks terrible and washed out. I leave it in SD.
-Sharing my screen in Teams is sometimes difficult as it is a wide monitor and doesn't come through to others as easy as a normal size screen.

The MSI looked interesting as it had KVM and appears to have the USB C power/display through the monitor eliminating my Lenovo dock brick. I'm sure the extra 5" would also give the look of x2 widescreen monitors. Currently it looks like I have x2 square 20" monitors side by side when I split screens.

Can I please get opinions - Can I use this a TV replacement just to play games? I'm concerned with the viewing angle. It has to be mounted about 5 feet away and a bit higher than eye level sitting down.

Thanks in advance.
