Most people run in some hiDPI mode so text doesn’t become tiny
But 1440p on a 45” is not good PPI. That could be why you’re struggling to see text clearly

Or... it could be my general vision loss issues in that I can't hardly see...
I can't make out a native pixel as it is. I understand that if it had 2x the PPI that it might handle rendering better and that may help, some with visibility... I had a first generation MBP with retina display, and it was amazing. But that's not my issue here. Not to mention the trouble having my work laptop push effectively 4x the pixels if such a mythical beast existed.
The size is so that I can actually work with a single screen, editor on one side, browser on the other... it's almost like 2x 3:2 displays in one. For a workflow it's pretty good... I don't game much, but it's nice for that and content viewing as well. I had considered using side by side displays, like 2x 27" in portrait mode... but settled on this, which is working surprisingly well for now.
This interaction fully flushes out the problem. The math is not being done between size and resolution to determine PPI.
Yeah PPD is more useful, although for ultrawide I’ve also heard it’s common to have it closer than regular viewing distance, so that you can glance at side screens / information
