Back to 1080p HiDPI mode, tiny fonts even look very sharp so I don’t have to increase the size of the fonts anymore.

If the screen was 38″, then it would have been useable. When used without any scaling by the OS, at UHD resolution, things became too small for normal use. I really like how sharp the text looks when using 1920 x 1080 50Hz with HiDPI. 15' MacBook Pro 2017 with Radeon Pro 560 Video Card + macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 12' MacBook 2017 with Intel HD Graphics 615 + MacOS Big Sur version 11.0. The next 21:9 resolution (natively offered by Mac OS) is 3440x1440.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro M1 and LG 34WK95U-W (5120x2160) monitor. From the “Current Resolutions”, you can now select 3840 x 2160 50Hz. If you have a small 28″ monitor, I recommend using 1920 x 1080 50Hz HiDPI, which still gives full advantage of the UHD resolution. Need help creating a custom resolution with SwitchResX.

I bought this cable from Monoprice for about $8 shipped. When shopping for the cable, also make sure that it is DisplayPort 1.2 and not 1.1. Using switchResX, you can create a custom profile and make the display work at 50Hz through your miniDisplayPort (which is the Thunderbolt jack). UHD resolution at 30Hz will work without a problem using HDMI or miniDisplay port, but at 30 Hz any moving things on the screen, the mouse pointer, or scrolling becomes very sloppy and choppy looking.
