To put that into perspective, here's a little comparison.
48" 4K screen's optimal viewing distance is 3.2'
45" 3440 screen's optimal viewing distance is 3.4'
32" 2560 screen's optimal viewing distance is 3.2'
Anyone complaining about these screens is either sitting too close, or their eye sight exceeds 20/20 vision.
35% of the population under the age of 40 has 20/20 vision or greater.
25% cannot achieve 20/20 vision even with corrective lenses.
75% of the population can achieve 20/20 vision with corrective lenses.
This means that sitting between 3.2 - 3.4 feet from any of the monitor resolutions above will be indistinguishable.
I've used this monitor for a year now and have no issues at all with the display, but I sit about 3 feet from the thing and it's honestly the best monitor I've ever had, and I've had high end monitors rated for professional artist use.
Clearly somebody doesn't like facts.

For productivity for doing work (at say 120 Hz), surely a powerful GPU is not needed, right?
Don't people want to have multiple apps on the monitor? That's where 4K is needed. Is it just me who wants that?

Personally unless you really get off on curved panels I'd go for a 48" OLED like the C3 or the Ultragear monitor equivalent. Cheaper and you can just clamp the screen down to an ultrawide aspect ratio if that is your thing.
BUT this 45" is one of the few MLA OLED panels on the market right now at this price, a tech currently limited to ultra high end monitors or LG G series TVs.
But it is a pretty sweet monitor, even aside the imperfect resolution. I have it on a Vivo mount that allows me to rotate and elevate it any which way. I do wish the monitor buttons and navigation were better implemented, but I find the remote to be great. If only the monitor itself had some of the remotes navigation features.
Other than that, nothing to really complain about save for the fact that a lot of content doesn't support the aspect ratio.
Using this feels like screen door affect with older VR headsets. It has great contrast but the colors don't pop as much as my C4.
The pixels are quite big so you notice pixel shifting. Also, doesn't handle gradients too well. As well, the uniformity is quite atrocious on first use. Gets better after some pixel cleaning and HDR content. My 2014 IPS is more enjoyable for bright content. Tried racing games, it's great for that but as an all rounder I hope the Alienware AW3423DWF will be more suitable for me.
LG was brighter with white color but overall not as good for monitor for me.
DWF has better PPI and gradient. It has color fringing so white stuff tends to have chromatic aboration (this cannot be solved, only workaround for text). It has burn in warranty. It's calibrated from factory.
Testing against my MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16", the DWF has brighter colors.
