Big improvement
I was using a cheaper 4k. This panel has much better blacks and contrast. Photos and video significantly better than old monitor. It is big, but works in my space. I have been using primarily for CAD and productivity applications (not a gamer). My aging eyes actually prefer this display's larger pixels over the 32" 4k.

Some of that sweet, sweet vertical resolution!
Been researching monitors for a couple years and was torn between a 4k 16:9 panel and an ultrawide. I wanted a higher resolution that 1440p, but also wanted a high refresh rate. When this panel came out I was a little hesitant that it still wasn't 4k, but after using it for a few weeks, I absolutely love the 1600 resolution combined with the ultrawide. So much real estate here! The refresh rate is wonderful, even just for daily use, but in game it really makes a difference.
