I've only found 2 in 1 / 2 monitors wide with aka 32:9. They call them "ultrawide" but IMO they should be called double wide monitors. Even the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, despite its size, is still just 32:9.

216:9 aspect ratio

That a rather niche aspect ratio.

Exactly 24:1 so you can have 24 square items at 160x160, I guess. Still less widescreen than the stupid OLED touchbar on some Macbooks (but that is not 4K). And yes, if you only care about maximizing aspect ratio, LED "screens" of 1px height are available for use in persistence-of-vision displays such as those spinny advertisement gimmicks.
