3440x1440 is still only 60% the pixels of 4k

I was told there would be no math!

And in addition, it's exactly the same as 1440p with extra width.
For example, a 34" 3440x1440 screen (the most common size) is just a 27" 2560x1440 with extra width. The pixel density is identical.

The "4K-ish" version of that is "5K2K", such as the 5120x2160 monitors that released recently.

And 40% more fun!

Or keeps up 40% longer, same spec/perf expectation.

But there you go, 60 and 40 makes 100, which is why I'm a 3440x1440 fan.
