Oh! How's the text rendering now? In macOS 26 I had to return a new ultrawide because macOS hates non-retina displays and text was blurry af. Worth trying now?
Terminal:
system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType
Output:macOS 26:
Displays:
LG HDR WQHD+:
Resolution: 6400 x 2666
UI Looks like: 3200 x 1333 @ 120.00Hz
macOS 27: Displays:
LG HDR WQHD+:
Resolution: 7680 x 3200
UI Looks like: 3840 x 1600 @ 120.00Hz
144 Hz works as well.I had to undo some of my previous configurations (0: disabled, 2: default)
defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
Apple lists ultrawide display support as a feature: Ultrawide display support. Now you can get higher resolutions on ultrawide displays, such as 5K at 120Hz. And your display arrangements stay exactly as you left them, for a seamless experience every time you plug in.

Text is blurry on those as a result.
Thankfully, my desktops all run x11, so Apple’s fractional scaling brainrot hasn’t spread to my Linux or BSD’s yet.
