I am looking for known good ultrawide monitor suggestions for m1 macbook air. I have an LG 38GL950 which is essentially unusable with the m1 air due to major flickering, image retention and other issues such as no full RGB color space etc (see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m1-air-ghosting-flickering-with-external-display.2271670/ for details if interested in knowing about m1 issues with certain external displays).

In any case, I am trying to find an ultrawide monitor that is 100% known to work without any issues with the m1, i.e. no flickering/image retention and full RGB signal. Ideally I am looking for at-least a 38" ultrawide, although if there is a really good 34" I might consider it too. Thunderbolt or DP over usb-c enabled is preferred. Highly appreciate if only people who have used a monitor without issues with an m1 air or know 100% that its problem free could post suggestions.

P.S. I was looking into the Dell U4021QW but it looks like the m1 does not play nicely with this monitor either.

I am using this one on my 16" MBP M1 Max. Nice high resolution, not too huge on my desk and connects via thunderbolt:

Cheers, I am assuming you use this with a scaled resolution? Do the fonts look good?

Has anyone used Lenovo's 40" 5k2k ultrawide, think vision P40w-20 monitor?
